Poll: Do you ever remember your dreams?

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Self-explanatory. I used to never have dreams at night, but recently I've been having them all the time (at least every other night). I almost never remember what they're about though, which bugs me a bit. I remember little snippets and that's it (then forget them by the end of the day). My brother on the other hand occasionally has massive dreams where he feels the need to tell it all in great detail once he wakes up.

So, how about you guys?

Sometimes I remember a little. Most of the time I remember nothing. Occasionally if I have a really bizarre or outstanding dream I'll remember a good hour or so of it, sometimes enough to make a decent film script out of.

If you want to remember your dreams more, keeping a dream journal will enhance your ability to do so. You must write them down immediately when you wake up, don't wait, don't have breakfast first etc.

I sometimes do, but only if it was a really good dream. Sometimes I'll remember it for a short time after waking, but then I forget it.

My memory is odd, something has to actually be of importance or jarring enough for me to remember it at all.

 

[Sir Kemper]

Sometimes, if it was odd enough.

My dreams have been kind of scattered lately and almost a little boring, well... except for one, but that's due to me being able to sleep forever.

I miss having the big, fun dreams that I used to.

When I do remember dreams its usually ones that are shocking enough or scary enough that I still feel the same emotions for hours afterwards that I felt in the dream. I dreamt that a person I really liked had been killed by me in a really complicated way to explain but the point is I felt incredibly sad, almost on the verge of tears for about 4 hours after I awoke.

I hardly ever have dreams, but when I do they either make no sense in any way, shape, or form, or they're nightmares. I usually remember them for at least a day.

 

[baseracer]

Usually I don't, but the last three nights I remembered them.

I hardly ever remember my dreams. One thing that really annoys me about my dreams is as soon as i figure out Im in a dream i wake up. Also, is it just me or does any one else die in their dreams. One of the few I remember, Im standing on top of the tower on the flight deck of an air craft carrier as it tries to dock, when the ship gets close i jump off the ship, trying to land on the dock but always miss and the force of the impact on the surface of the water kills me. But then as soon as i hit the water, Im back on the tower, seconds before the ship reaches the dock again.
My explaination is that video games have made me subconsciencely (or something like that) think that people respawn when they die, of course i know its not true, but still...

Most of my dreams are like what television would depict of being on an acid trip. Most are weird and if anyone else saw them they would be scared. They used to scare me in the strangeness, obtuse, abstract images, but i've grown accustom to them. Some of them are funny in the way they transition from tasting colors into barber poles, candy, polar bears, dying suns!

 

[Girafro]

Almost never. I wake up and its gone, I've tried exercises to remember my dreams but they never last, I always end up forgetting them or just stopping. I tend to remember recurring dreams and nightmares though, which kind of sucks.

If you want to remember your dreams more, keeping a dream journal will enhance your ability to do so. You must write them down immediately when you wake up, don't wait, don't have breakfast first etc.

This works, though it might take time (it did for me). But he's right - write down as much of your dream as you can remember the minute you wake up, even if it's just a word or a feeling. It's like physical exercise, the more you do it, the more you can do. Keep this up and before too long you'll be remembering most of your dreams, often in amazing detail. There's a freaky world inside your head when you're not paying attention.

I usually remember my dreams, even ones I had a long time ago. In some cases I can even control what happens in them, and that is extreamely fun.

 

[Herianden78]

I almost always remember my dreams, and theyre awesome
One time i was riding a dragon giving a lecture to a bunch of little dragons, and i've hidden in a closet from a t-rex coming out of the ocean on several occasions, one of those reoccurring ones.
My favorites ones are the ones where you actually have clarity and you cant tell if you're asleep or not, those ones are even better if you can fly. Flying is fun.

 

[soilent]

I keep having a dream where I'm in space, watching the sun, and the sun explodes.

 

[FoodMonger]

I remember this dream from waay back when I was like 5 or 7. Most of the ones now simply give small glimpses of the future.
Like this one i dreamed that my brother would backflip off of a swingset, land, but then slip and hit his head on the ground. Just happened a day ago, and i had the dream about 16 days back

 

[Stormz]

I remember bits and pieces of it. mostly the parts that had an effect on me. A lot of my dreams totally fuck with me and make me feel weird the whole day.

 

[Aidinthel]

I usually don't remember my dreams, and a lot of the ones I do remember I wish I could forget. Why don't I ever have nice dreams?

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

All the Time, i always recall my dreams in the morning :]

 

[Klarinette]

I have a couple recurring motifs, actually. One is a 1984-themed dream, and another is where I'm hiding from a nuclear bomb blast (like hiding behind a wall will save you). More often than not, I at least remember a few pieces of the dreams. Sometimes, I get lucky and remember an entire vivid one.

 

[Xeros]

All the time. My dreams are very vivid. Unfortunately they're always nightmares.
