Does anyone else get those "I know full well this is a dream but I can't find a way out of it" dreams? They're a perishing nuisance. I now get them in several levels where, having forced myself through the walls (well the ceiling usually, come to think of it  ) of one dream, I think I'm awake but it turns out, after a while, that I'm merely in another dream. And this can go on for ages, faster and faster, and I hate it. Yes, I know this. My memory informs me that I have had this coupled with the whole "sleep paralysis" thing. What about the more fun side of dreaming: lucid dreams. Anyone? Since a very positive aspect of this thread is the "Oh, so it's not just me!" aspect, I hope someone else will say, yes, they get that too..... Please?
I'm finding the phobias thread to be rather cool in that respect. |

There's another story of an author, though perhaps apocryphal, who is said to have woken up with great excitement having been granted a profoundly deep insight in a dream. He/she wrote it down and went back to sleep only to discover in the morning that it was:
Write it down write it down write it down write it down write it down

Oh. I remember in some dream recently there being a short (6 character I think) alpha-numeric code on something. And when I woke up, though I was in a daze, I could still remember it, so wrote it down on a page of a book I was reading to see if I could make sense of it when I woke up properly. I can't remember which book now though... |

GG,
I often visit the same made up house in my dreams, which is basically a large room full of staircases going in all different directions, including through the ceiling, on their sides, etc.
I also have ollie's wrong instrument dream, except a) I can't play it and b) I'm nude.
As a nipper, I had a recurring nightmare of being chased through a wood by an axe-wielding werewolf, into a wooden hut, where.... I woke up.

Tommo, I often go back to familiar places in my dreams (never known them in `real life`) I was in one a few evenings back and it was a lovely dream, so nice to be `back`, as it were. My mother used to have the same experience. There is one particular church I end up in, although it`s rather like two churches, one leading on from another. The `second` church is somehow rather mysterious and only certain people are allowed in there. I haven`t made it in yet. If I found any of these places I would know them. Or so I would like to think ......  |

My dreams are usually anxiety dreams - being late for things (used to be exams), not knowing where places are, that sort of thing.
Isn't everyone supposed to dream they are having tea with the Queen? And that they are naked in a public place where they shouldn't be? I don't think I've ever dreamt either - not that I remember, anyway.

The only predicitive dream I remember now is leaning over a large table, sorrounded by lots of my relatives and picking coloured sugar lumps out of a sugar bowl. It happened at my grandparents golden wedding anniversary some time later. Isn't sleep paralysis the inspiration for the painting "The Nightmare" and also the inspiration for iccubus and succubus visitations? My friend Ralph says a really good way to have really vivid dreams is to liquidise a lettuce, mix with sugar (or salt) and drink it before you go to bed. Don't think i'll bother!  |

And that they are naked in a public place where they shouldn't be? Are there public places one should be naked? |

I once dreamed that Oliver Sudden was about to perform a new composition I'd written, but instead of playing he began by screaming incomprehensibly in a falsetto voice. The rest is, so to speak, history.
Richard, that was extraordinarily unkind of you. Now I have to mop up my keyboard... |

And that they are naked in a public place where they shouldn't be? Are there public places one should be naked? Here in Brighton, no-one really gives much of a charlie's. How about those bracing showers, post-gym? Not that I remember much of my 15-year-old self...  |

I once had a dream about a viking superhero horse that liked country and western music. More cheese before bedtime.
John Adams has some interesting dreams. Grand Pianola Music was inspired by a dream of two grand pianos racing down a highway like Cadilacs spewing out Eb major arpegios. The brass chords that start Harmonielehre came from a dream of a rusting oil tanker in San Francisco bay that lifted out of the water, turned on its end and took off like a rocket. At a pre-concert talk, I heard him describe the ideas that rampaged through his head 'like a herd of toads'.
