bad dreams...dreams in general

[emmasmommy]

i'm not one of those people who remember my dreams all that often but every once in awhile i get a whopper that sticks with me...like just now
humor me....

[heathergw]

(((hugs))) I usually only remember the horrific ones

[jessica31876]

I remember all my dreams. I have night terrors sometimes where I do not remember anything. My husband has told me I will yell at him, cry, and just generally freak out after having a night terror. Its like Im awake but Im not. I do not remember any of the stuff that happens when I have one. I think in general that is a good thing though. Why did you have a really bad dream?

[Julie Billingsley]

I go through phases. Sometimes I will remember dreams every night, sometimes I will not remember any dreams. I also sleepwalk and that goes in phases too.

[kscwgirl]

I usu. only remember the bad ones. I really wanted to choose option 4 though.

[mrshobbes]

I like option 4 too The last dream I could remember involved one of my other CT designers and these new kit previews she had: imagine all the elements and papers were animated with fireworks and glittering stars, etc. When you clicked on them to get to the store listing, suddenly a loud booming, circusingmaster kind of voice starts enumerating what's in the kit.

I'm really really tempted to choose option 4 too! lol!

I dont' remember my dreams. Maybe it's because I wait until I'm super exhausted to fall asleep so when I do I sleep HARD. Growing up I used to sleep walk...I remember waking up one morning wondering where my retainer was...I threw it away in the garbage! lol I haven't done that in a LONG time! lol

[MandaT]

I usually only woke up remembering dreams when I was Preggers.

Normally I sleep really soundly...like REALLY soundly. Out to the world.

[MamaBee]

Depends what I eat for dinner... for me spicy food can really do a number on the type of dreams I have... but it's rare that I will remember them after an hour of waking...

[mariewilcox]

I am one that remembers everything - I also have deja vu multiple times a day, which really used to freak me out when I was a kid. Now I'm used to it. I'm a sleep walker and a sleep talker too; the walking can be dangerous, but it's been better the past 10 years or so (since having DD actually). Once in college my roommate woke up and couldn't find me in the dorm anywhere - she finally found me outside (in my long T-shirt, undies, and nothing else ) getting ready to cross the street to get to the cafeteria - evidently I was babbling on about getting breakfast before my 8:00 class

[newfiemountiewife]

I remember all of them and all of my dreams are so freakin stupid! LOL

And I had to laugh at whoever picked the last option in the poll hahahaha!!!

[emmasmommy]

i just saw that! LMAO
i feel the love, i really do!

[junipers]

I used to have really bad dreams when I was a kid, I'm over it now and rarely remember, but now my son is having them, it's really bad, too. =(

[mummytothree]

I don't often dream, ususally when I lay down I am OUT!!! But if something wakes me early in the morning and then I fall back into a light sleep I'll sometimes dream and I often remember those. Sometimes they are scary and sometimes they are nice but often they are so weird they make me go when I wake up!!!

[melrio]

#4 was tempting! I, like others, remember the really vivid dreams. The one that really sticks in my mind is where I'm rollerskating on the freeway! I still haven't figured that one out and its been a couple of years.

[glumirk]

I'm pretty sure I dream every night, but unless it's a really vivid dream I only remember my dreams when I wake up on my own terms...no alarm or baby or other outside source waking me up. Unless that outside source becomes part of my dream, then I do remember it. In grade school I would have crazy dreams all summer long, but hardly ever dream during the school year. I "don't dream" much these days because DS or DH wake me up in the morning. Although now that I've started waking up at all hours (thank you pregnancy) I've been having some wacked out dreams.

[cbettua]

I dream all the time and wake up remembering the dream. Some nights I feel like I never sleep because I am dreaming!

[MommaTrish]

I wake up remembering my dreams, but my bad dreams are doozies and I remember them, but I don't wake up from them, the hubs usually wakes me up from them. Doesn't matter what kinda of dream it is they're all really vivid. Though when I'm pregnant I have horribly vivid bad dreams about every other night.

[Stacey42]

I've been fighting chronic insomnia for 8 years now. I do generally remember whatever dream I was having when I wake up but it's impossible for me to say if I was actually dreaming or if my thoughts were just wandering around my subconscious while I was drowsy.

When I did sleep regularly I remembered dreams when I woke up but usually forgot about them within minutes

[ColleenSwerb]

I go in phases, and I also vary whether or not I remember. Really vivid nightmares I definitely remember (and even if I wake up in the middle of it, am awake for like an hour, then finally fall back asleep, I go back to the same nightmare - it's AWFUL).

Lately I've been CRAZY stressed which means I haven't been sleeping well, so I've been having weird dreams, and I've been remembering them more often. Although "remembering" is usually in more of a fog-like state for a while after I wake up, and then it's mostly gone.

[nikkiARNGwife]

As a teen/young adult I had night terrors a lot. I would wake up in cold sweats/shaking/panicking. I haven't had that in a LONG time though...

I've noticed since having kids and that I'm worn SLAM out by the time I go to bed and pass out cold that I don't remember my dreams as much lol...

I often dream about scrapbooking though and some of you here show up in my dreams sometimes...maybe I spend too much time here?? lol

[*Celeste*]

most of the time i dream i'm mad at dh! lol or that something bad is happening to one of my boys. that's the only time i remember them!

[lovely1m]

I dont get nightmares (only had like 3 my entire life), but something something happens and it will stick with me. But normally I have extremely boring dreams. I even did a scrapbook page on it. Nothing interesting happens 90% of the time. My brother gets night terrors though, so weird how different it is for us. He also has reaccuring dreams and such.

You were actually in one of my dreams last week! I was gonna tell you about it, but forgot and now I can't remember what it was. lol

[deepounds]

LOL! I can't believe two people actually picked the last one!

I'm one who dreams very rarely but remembers them vividly. I actually have a few different recurring dreams (all disasterelated) that I've had multiple times over the years. They invariably happen just before I get REALLY sick . . . don't know if it's that I already have a low-grade fever or what. But invariably if I have one of those dreams, I end up within a few days with pneumonia or some other really bad infection. Fortunately, I don't have those dreams very often :-)

[taracotta7]

I remember mine every stinkin' time! Sometimes they are scary and sometimes they are totally ridiculous! I drive my hubby crazy with my dreams. He never remembers his. (well, not that he admits to, anyways. )

[NeverendingJen]

I remember my dreams quite often, and quite vividly as well sometimes.

[lauren grier]

I only have horrid dreams anymore.. and i remember them all. Every night.

[Giseli Freitas]

I dream A LOT. Like 3 to 4 dreams at night and I can remember most of them. My dreams are colorful and vivid. I still have night terrors very often. I often know that I'm dreaming and often I dream I'm dreaming (Inception style). Most of them are bad dreams, but there are some crazy/weird stories as well. Beautiful and unreal places too. I always dream I'm dying in a flight crash (I don't fear airplanes or anything. should I? ) or in a violent tornado. This is how my mind works... LOL

[jessica31876]

Oh I used to have dreams when I was pregnant that I was being attacked by snakes or something bad was going to happen to the baby. I remember still one I had in the hospital the nurse actually had to come and wake me up because I was crying so loudly. Well I dont remember crying but she told me I was. All I could remember because she asked me what I was dreaming was it was about my daughter who I had just had.

[crystalbella77]

lately I have been having these recurring dreams so I have remembered almost all of them lately. I have always had vivid dreams that stuck with me though. I would wake up mad at the hubby....or something. lol

[Lauramarie]

I always dream and I used to suffer from the same dreams over and over. An old man trying to get me and I could never shut the door in time and driving a huge oldsmobile and the brakes don't work. I have dreams about running from tigers and I was even shot in the back once.

[Shawna Clingerman]

I remember so many of my dreams, and I dream ton! Especially ever since sinking deep into depression a few years ago. Most of my dreams are stressful and all of them are like crazy symbolic, apparently sleeping me is very deep LOL.
