Some dreams, I remember, some I forget within seconds of awakening..I dream in color.. In the dreams I remember, I am in control of what happens, almost like I am the the director Some dreams are so compeling that I have never forgotten them..Some of my dreams actually seem to come true..Those seem to be the ones involved with my own health..Last night I dreamed of my parents who have been gone since 1989 and 1993..

To sleep per chance to dream, ah the there's the rub.
I love to dream, I dream in full technicolor.
The most vivid dreams I had was when I was on an anti smoking patch.
I hate to wake up during the best part of a dream, I can never go back to it. It happens way too often.
Here's another fun fact about me and my dreams. I talk in my sleep.

I don't think I have ever been one that remembered my dreams a lot. I have heard that dreams are the minds way of unloading unnecessary data just like cleaning out a computer. Since I don't have a lot in there lately, maybe that is why I don't dream a lot.

So I will tell you a childhood story. Everybody would get up discussing what they had dreamed the night before. I felt a little left out so once when I was asked what I dreamed, I said, "I dreamed that a cow bited me and I bited it." This got so much attention that it became my dream every time I was asked. Yes, it is damaging being the youngest sibling.

Sometimes things you think are dreams turn out not to be. I woke up in a timeshare in Sapphire Valley and saw a man in the hallway of our condo. I screamed and Mr. VA searched the entire condo to see any signs of foul play. He told me I had just dreamed it. Not! The next morning he told me I had seen a ghost and he saw it too later that night. Luckily we were already planning to leave that day since the week was up or we would have left anyway. I love Sapphire Valley but that was a bit too much.

I remember most of my dreams, even the freaky ones I wish I could forget. A lot are very vivid. I especially wish I could forget some of the recurring nightmares.

I dream in color.

If it was a nice dream I wish I could go back and finish it. THe worst part is sometimes I'll wake in the middle of a night mare and when I fall asleep again go right back into it (kinda like pausing a movie then hitting play again.)

Sometimes the dreams I have come true in real life a few months to a year after I dream them and that is really freaky as well.

I remember most of my dreams (sometimes I wish I didn't!), and always dream in color.

I can usually go back to sleep and continue the same dream.

I day-dream a lot. does that count? Also, can I answer this question later? I'm dreaming right now...

I do remember some dreams the next day, and I think they were in color... if not, I'll have to adjust the color and tint the next time..

If I woke up in the middle of a dream, the only thing I would wish for.. or dream about, is going back to sleep, I don't care if I continue with the dream sequel... but at least it'll also give me a chance to get a popcorn if I continue the dream.

Sometimes I can remember the ones I dont want to remember, but the ones that might be more worth remembering, it seems if I dont write them down right away, will forget right away. Sometimes I look them up too, in a dream dictionary, wow, they are pretty accurate!

~~~~~I hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!


Yes I almost always remember my dreams and they are always in color.

They are sometimes so vivid, that I thought they were really happening.

There have been a few times when I wished I could go back to sleep and finish my dream. And on occasion I have awakened and gone back to sleep to the same dream being completed.

Seldom remember any dreams but if I do, they’re usually in b&w with a poor camera and lousy sound. If I am dreaming and wakeup I always want to return to sleep and finish the dream, I hate to leave things unfinished.

I’ve never had any academy award dreams yet, nor any good actors ~ mostly friends and family and they don’t do a very good job. Maybe I need better mushrooms, or different friends?
