I remember having one of those when I was really really little. But it was sort of combined with the school dream. I dreamt I had gotten up and gotten ready for school, then my mom woke me up so I could get ready for school. When I was really awake it was completely clear that I was awake, and not dreaming.

I had the wake-up dream, that everyone has, this morning. The "you-keep-waking-up-but-it's-only-in-your-dream" dream. People really have that dream? I thought it was just in fiction that it happened. If it's ever happened to me I can't remember. When you actually do wake up is there ever doubt that you're really awake? For a moment, yes. It takes a few seconds of the sun burning into my retina's to snap my brain out of it. For me, at least. I have this type of dream about three times a year. On occasion, they can be really frustrating.

Wow, very Freudian. Or goofy? Your pick.
I always knew dachshund's were from hell. I have two of them right here at my house.

What an awesome dream I just woke up from. I was at a huge, outdoor market (as big as an entire city), I was just standing around, confused, not knowing how I got there, and nobody would talk to me. It got dark and all the fruit and vegetable vendors started shouting furiously in Arabic (fake, cartoony Arabic) and pointing at the sky. I kept asking "What's wrong!?" until a young boy finally pointed up and said something like "Devilbirds coming! Devilbirds coming!" I finally looked up and saw a cloud of Ravens circling the entire market. I ran around shouting, "No! They're Ravens, not Crows. They're all Ravens." Everybody settled down and watched the crazy foreigner (me), so I stopped and raised my hand above me, and a Raven landed on it. He could speak English, so I finally had someone to talk to. Plus, when the people of the market saw me and the Raven together they all started doing anything they could to attract their own raven, so I was the Ravens' hero since they'd never go hungry again. Sounds like the end, but it felt like my Raven pal and I walked around the entire city together, talking. Finally, he went off to roost with his Raven pals for the night, that was the end. What an awesome way to come out of a non-dream phase.

Solgroupie, I think this board is starting getting to you. That was a good, empowering dream. Most of your dreams seem to have competent directors. My dreams seem to be Hal Warren trying to direct like Luis Bunuel, and failing miserably! I had three dreams last light. Way too many. Now, they are all jumbled up in my mind. They seemed to make, some sort of sense, at the time...

That was a good, empowering dream. it was? I didn't pee on the mouse pad, the dog did! last night i dreamed that i was watching some kind of weird live mst3k play, put on by mike and - i assume kevin, because all i remember seeing in addition to mike was servo. a life size servo, as big and as tall as mike. i had this business card - something really, really funny was written on the back of it and i wanted to read it to them desperately, because i was sure if they heard it, they would love it. i don't know if i wrote it, or if someone else did, but i wish i knew what was written on it. it was written so small that i would have to use this little magnifier glass to read it. i was so nervous i knew i would not be able to read it without screwing up. but it didn't matter - i never got to anyway.

So let me see, you were the dog, the mouse pad represented life, and the dog pee was Oscar Wilde? ;D
I can't imagine a life-size Servo. He did become huge once, but life-size, yikes! Crow now, he would look suave life-sized, although very unhealthy.
Don't you hate those dreams where the important element seems to be missing? The words! What were the words?!
I had a few again, but they've faded . This usually happens to me when my sinus' start acting up, because of my allergies. My dreams, then, become bright but incoherent.

i picked up a book called do fish drink water? puzzling and improbable questions and answers for my bro-in-law, who likes these types of books - questions like - what makes the sound when you snap your fingers? and - why are oceans salty but lakes aren't? you know, basically most of the questions a five year old will ask that leaves you stumped.
i was flipping through it and came across a question i never thought about before - do people who are born blind ever dream? that's a damn good question!
it says that they do have dreams, but not with visual images as we do - it makes perfect sense at how hard it would be for someone who has been blind since birth to describe what they "see" in their dreams.
it says: one man who has been blind since birth said, "my dreams are never with shapes or colors. i dream about touching things. once i dreamed i was being chased by someone with a gun. i heard the horrible blasts from the gun and felt as if the bullets were actually piercing my back."
so it seems that rather than seeing images as we do, theirs are much more vivid because they seem to hear and feel their dreams instead. it also said that people who become blind later in life continue to have dreams like all sighted people, but the images begin to fade after so much time. that would be so painful, i think, to experience.

That's interesting. It makes you wonder about other "afflictions." How do the mute and/or deaf dream? Color blind people? An admittance: I suffer from bi-polar, and that's probably a part of why, along with my sinus', my dreams are so incoherent, at times.
This morning, I had a dream where I was watching a movie on TV. It seemed to be "Days Of Heaven" in Hawai'i. I was watching a scene where there was an orange sunset on the sea behind Richard Gere. He climbed on a boat, and I was there with him. We started seeing pictorial coast lines, the mountains from behind my childhood home, a brown and beige landslide with green trees surrounding, then a river swollen with black, brown and white mud. When we came to the river, the boat changed into a car. Richard Gere disappeared and it was my family in the car. We were over the river on a bridge, and the car became stuck because our enemies (I have no idea!) pushed it in a hole near the edge. I left the car and looked at the river. Then, I started walking through a tunnel, where there was another scenic attraction at the end. A woman walked past me, I turned around and went back to where the car was stuck. There, I found a stairs going down from the bridge to the river. I started walking down the stairs, changed my mind, started walking back up, when I noticed a sign that had information written on it. It was the ratings of people who had voted their rankings on the movie, "Seven Samurai." My brain then had a WTF moment, and I woke up.

Friendly, I think I'm going to sub-contract out my dreaming to you. Is there much of a waiting list?
