I never remember my dreams, though I know I have them... so here you can tell me what you dreamt, and I can savor it as if it had been my own.

I never remember them either. We wouldn't have made very good patients for Freud (for whatever that is worth)!

Not on this computer, but for a while I kept a dream diary. Does anybody else have the experience of remembering a dream days, weeks or months after it occurred, but not being sure exactly when it was?

Oo, I don't know about that. I suspect he would have found plenty of food for thought around here.  (I haven't remembered any interesting ones for a while either, I'm afraid...) |

Is this a "spot the line from THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD" competition?  "Eh, Petrovich, what did you dream last night?" |

Actually one thing I do remember is that nightmares tend to involve heights a lot, hanging perilously of some huge height. As a vertigo sufferer (one of the worst ever experiences was being on the first tier of the Eiffel Tower and looking upwards at the next one), this is no fun! It recurs quite often, though.

You got to the first tier? I looked up at that and couldn't bear to leave the ground...

Vertigo? Don't get me (or Mort) started! I've only developed it in recent years, and it sucks. Funny how the really bad experiences involve looking UP, not down (which non-V-sufferers don't quite appreciate). I have a really hard time driving over the Severn bridge, for example, not because I'm high up, but because of that combined with looking UP at the suspension towers.
Sorry, not dream-related, but I'll report when it becomes so...

Shouldn't you be looking, like, straight ahead? I know very well what you mean though. I've never been to NYC but I think I might find it quite difficult. I've never heard of late-onset vertigo though. I've had it as long as I can remember. |

Unfortunately my dreams tend towards the stark staring bonkers, the terrifying and the horrific. I don't really know why. I appal myself by what my subconscious is capable of thinking up. You really, really wouldn't want to know  . |

Yes, but that's the invidious nature of vertigo - the temptation to look up is very strong; I've taken to lowering the visor so I actually CAN'T see the damn things. Doesn't stop the sweaty palms and mounting panic, though... |

Not a sufferer myself, luckily, but quite a few people I know have said they developed vertigo later in life. (A couple of weeks ago, in my first experience on a climbing wall, I found out that while I might not have vertigo per se, I do have a marked fear of falling off:) |

I have very vivid, technicolour dreams, full of conversations with people and emotional responses. Sometimes dreams stick in my mind for ages, and the feelings they arouse can often affect me all day.  It's a nightmare. |

I often have (suffer from?) a recurring dream. It's very detailed I'm afraid.
It always involves standing alone on a high cliff by the sea with a set of standing stones on it. There is a steep mountain immediately behind. The wind, warm but searching, gets up and clouds appear over the horizon of the sea. It becomes stronger and the clouds cover the sky. The sun pierces through with a great deal of noise. I either wake up at this point or start to try and climb the mountain to see it better. The mountain and the weather get progressively harder to cope with and, after a varying length of time, I can't climb any more and let go. falling.
I never get any further than this, and wake up usually very hot.

Ah me and dreams. A very strange relationship indeed. I used to have one as a child that went on as a serial - I could literally pick it up where I left off! I know....barmy. The only dreams I ever remember are very vivid, in glorious technicolour and they fringe on the nightmare. I have many tidal wave and storm dreams but I'm always ok, either safe and dry and just watching, or clinging to the wreckage while there is devastation all around. Don't have vertigo dreams but I have them where I think I've gone over on my ankle and wake up with a start.  |
