I've been dreaming every night for weeks now, and I remember them too. In fact a few times I have started thinking about what I thought was a memory, only to realize it was a dream...

I'm not sure if I'm going crazy or if my brain is just in a creative overload.
 
I have it on good authority that all remotely sane people dreams several times each night (assuming the sleep each night).

As for remembering the dreams, that varies alot. I can't recall any from the last several weeks.
 
Perhaps I remember them because now that I'm dreaming constantly, when I wake up, the first thing I try to do is piece together my dream?
 
I dream pretty much every night (well, I remember dreams from every night). Apparently, you're supposed to have several different dreams every night, and they happen in "real time".

:lol: this happens to me so often! It's a bit embarrassing sometimes though...
 
How many nightmares do you guys have out of these dreams? I've only had one...I dreamed I killed a man and I was trying to get rid of the evidence. :crazyeye: I woke up and tried to go back to sleep but I went straight back into the dream.

Nightmares are about 90% of the dreams I remember.The last nightmare I had involved being chased by Klingons... I must have been watching too much Star Trek.
 
Oh, and do you think your dreams mean anything? Personally I think they're just fascinating because they're like your mind piecing together random stuff, but meaningless.
 
A tip to remembering better is to write your dreams down. Also, when you are in a dream, and you know you are in one, you have complete control. At least that is what one of my former high school teachers told my class.

I never remember my dreams, though (at least lately).

Has anyone seen themsleves in the 3rd person in dreams?
 
I can't remember the last nightmare I had. I often have mini-nightmares, but they're mostly due to my putting my head under the covers for too long (lack of oxygen causes bad dreams for me).

I've only had one nightmare in the last several years, but I've had it several times (three or four, I think); it's about my teeth dropping out for no apparent reason.

No, but I remember seeing myself in the mirror, which freaked me out a bit, and also seeing myself on TV, which REALLY freaked me out!

On average, everyone gets one of those a night, too. It's a part of the seven, but like the other six, people generally don't remember them.
 
I usually dream when something out of the ordinary happens, or when I really get into something.

IMO, the worst nightmares are when something or someone is chasing you but you feel really tired and can't run.
 
I rarely remember my dreams, and when I do it's because I get woken up during them.

Do you dream in Black and White or COLOR?

I've had only one color dream, just to help remember it I wrote down some of what I saw.
 
My worse nightmare is someone is doing something to me, I try to scream but nothing comes out.

Weird...are you colorblind or something?

The colors in my dreams never strike me, but they are in color.
