Vivid dreams

[moosmom]

Rose,

I always have vivid dreams. As a matter of fact, they're so vivid that whe I wake up, I write them down!!! I showed my daughter some of them and she has told me time and again that if anyone gets hold of them, I'll be off to the loony bin.

Usually the real violent, vivid dreams occur after I've had something to eat and go to bed.

I sometimes will have to ask someone if they've actually called or said something or if I've just dreamed it.

Last Friday, after one round of shoveling, I came inside and asked Paul if he and the snowblower were going to do the rest.

Problem? We don't really own a snowblower! I had dreamed it so clearly that I pictured the edge of the driveway snow-blowered!

Paul thought I was crazy.

Not sure if it's the same thing or not...but a few years ago, when I was going to high school, I would suddenly wake up and be like "Oh no! I'm SOOOO LATE" (I knew this cause I looked at my watch...) Anyway, I'm rushing and getting dressed and look out the window and thing "Why is it dark??" then I look AGAIN at my watch at it was like 1 or 2 am.

I've also woken up screaming/jump out of bed because something was in my bed. Then I would sware it was still there even after I realized it was a dream!
I think that only happened when I was REALLY stressed out

Those sound more like night terrors.


The "I'm SO late!" dreams and "I forgot to go to class! (for 6 weeks)" are what I consider 'stubborn' dreams.
I have had 'school' dreams for how many years now???? (25)
I also have 'ship' dreams for having worked on cruise ships for 12 years.
I tell my husband about my dream and it starts: "I was on this ship...."

Lately, I've been having 'stubborn ship dreams'
I am full of regret for having signed a 6 week contract, or having to go back out, and it's not what I want to do. (in real life- I used to be out for 6-10 months at a time)
I am in tears for being out there and can't get back home.

I guess that means I'm happy being with all my cats and my husband!


Stubborn dreams.

I dream vividly too. Have for years. Carl Jung said that an un-analyzed dream is like an unopened present (or something along those lines). Did a course in dream analysis, it was fascinating. Dreams give us messages about what's going on in our subconscious and about events in our conscious life we are struggling with. Every item/person in your dream reveals an aspect of yourself. If you are really curious about your dreams, look into some of Jung's work.
