Littletune: I was terrible at geometry when I was in school, too. That's the math with triangles and stuff, right? Are you worried about your test? I wonder if that may be causing all these nightmares. Sometimes when we worry about something, we get nightmares. I don't like being alone, either, whether in real life or in a dream or nightmare. I understand how you feel. Alistair: That was a very fascinating dream and it paid off in a sonata, too! Cool! I wonder if some of the composers had dreams that they turned into great works, too. I wouldn't be surprised. I enjoyed that very much.
This has to be one of the neatest dreams I've ever heard of, LittleTune! This alien with a face like a guy and a body of a woman! And the other worldly currency. Wow. And that strange snake. I think you should write about some of your dreams when you're doing English composition in school. All you have to do is visit this thread and re-read your dreams for ideas on what to write about. Some of your dreams are great for a fictional story or two!! I enjoyed this one very much and had a good laugh. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not sure if it's a grown up thing to forget your dreams as you get older but I definitely remember a lot fewer dreams nowadays than when I was younger so it's very interesting that you brought that up. I think perhaps adults have more on their minds, more worries, whatever, so even though they dream, they have a greater tendency to forget their dreams because as soon as they open their eyes, they're back to worrying about whatever or they're rushing to go to work, to feed the babies, etc. So unless they wake up in the middle of the night due to a nightmare, they are unlikely to remember their dreams. I can only remember three dreams in the last two months! I wish I could remember more of my dreams.
I was just thinking: Didn't you have a dream previously of you and your friend entering someone's house through their window? It's funny that when the ice fell on your head, it didn't wake you up!! And how do you create those box lines that you made in your music dream? I should try:__That line I can make but how about the vertical ones? What button do you press?
"I think that's not a dream which we see in sleeping but dream is that feelings for which is we can't sleep." What do you think about this!!!
Littletune: I don't see the key you're talking about. I have a tall green line. I'll see if it works here: IT DIDN'T!! When you say Gr, do you mean, type G R?That dream about your cat and the bird was like you in real life. I have saved many little birds from cats in our backyard, especially in the summer when the chicks are just learning to fly. It worries me too to see them so small and helpless. Sometimes I have to take them to a wildlife rehabilitation center. Thanks once again for sharing your dream. I hope to share another one someday. Why don't I dream as much as you do? I like being able to dream.
m1469, you've done very well researching the objects and their significance to your dream and analyzing your dream and using what you learned to move on forward with your life. I enjoyed reading your analysis and how you plan to use it in your real life.
Has anybody here read "An Experiment with Time" by J.W.Dunne (1927) ? Dunne was a very highly intelligent man, one of the leading aeronautical engineers of his day. His central idea was that in dreaming and certain other states, we are no longer constrained to perceive time as linear, as we know it in everyday life. He thought that in dreams we perceive detail of both our past and our future experience. He was not concerned with the occult, only with the apparent fact that almost anybody, with a bit of initial effort, can find very numerous examples of precognition in their own dreams. The ideas in the book were enthusiastically embraced by J.B.Priestley, T.S.Eliot and Aldous Huxley, among other notable minds of the twentieth century. I kept a dream diary for several years a couple of decades ago and thereby turned up very many examples of such precognitive detail, several of which still seem quite extraordinary in terms of statistical coincidence of large data masses, which is the usual explanation given for why these future correlations should occur - and occur they do, believe me, for anybody who develops the discipline of remembering dreams. It takes a certain time and discipline to get started, but I intend to retry Dunne's experiment over the next few months at least, but with the difference that I shall use my Zoom H2 to record the dreams. Writing out dreams in the middle of the night (you have to record quickly otherwise all but a few images vanish from memory) I find altogether too much effort. Anybody here want to try too ? There is nothing loopy or mystical about it, just a matter of fact experiment. Conclusions and theories you might come to are your own affair, as for Dunne. You would need to carefully read Dunne's book first which, although unfashionable, is probably still in most public libraries.https://voices.yahoo.com/precognition-infinity-jw-dunnes-theory-structure-856733.html?cat=72
I had a dream that I had a new teacher and he put his sock in my mouth in my very first lesson. JL
PIANOWOLFI: That was funny! Do you have a grand piano in real life?
While I am sitting here, who has unusual structures, forms of dreaming, for example, to take merely two types, recurring dreams, or the even more puzzling recall of previous dream experience within a later dream. I have both of these, often. I throw the matter open for discussion. Unusual dream forms anyone ?A common one, it seems, is the "nested" dream, for want of a better term. You dream you have woken, perhaps got out of bed, begun dressing then poof ! You're back in bed but have "really" woken. You get up and start doing things then poof! You've just woken up again........Anybody else have that one ?
Ted, I've never had the kind of "nested" dream you mentioned. It sounds more like sleep walking to me. Are you sure you weren't sleep walking? Your Zoom H2 is a camcorder, I assume. How do you get it to work in the dark?
