My dreams! They´re good!

[mobbie]

To those of you who I haven't already bored with this thing, I dream nightmares every night ever since I started dreaming (about the age of 4-5) Only having dreamt 3 normal happy dreams. Until now.

I just had to go active on CC now, not cause I haven't been here for long, but because I feel the greatest relief ever right now, for the last 4 days I have not had one nightmare, I have only dreamt nice dreams, and how I enjoy it.
I can't in words express how big this is to me, dreaming in my life has been atleast 1/5 of my living, I dream so long and I dream so fiercely, even if I only sleep 3 hours it feels like 10 hours of dreaming.

I really had.. forgotten, how it felt, dreaming happy dreams.. It's, undescribable, having dreamt as many as 4 of these wondrous dreams in 4 days, thats more than I´ve dreamt before in my entire life. (3 in total till now!)

Another thing I can't really put to words is what the dreams are about, because.. there is only light, a good, purple-pink-blue[ish] light, and the single images of things I can't identify that quickly.
It may not sound as a very interesting dream, or a funny one, or a happy one, but believe me, being in that light for (what feels like) 10 hours, just enjoying life, feels better than anything I´ve felt before.

This be the latest report from mobbie, a happy dreamer =)

You should not have shared that info here Mobbie, talkin with some of us on Chaos can diffenitely restore your nightmares.. ;D

[killerzzz]

I'm really glad for you, Mobbie. I know the feeling. Being a big dreamer myself. I'd had nightmares for such a long time, and it stressed me madly, but then one day, it stopped for a bit. Then, the nightmares thinned out, and became only an occasionnal matter.

It was a very very big relief. Glad it is beginning for you as well.

Killerzzz

This is great news, Mobs! Well done

[Galadriel]

Wonderful Mobbie, I hope the good dreams keep on coming for you now!

[mobbie]

@ ubbie - that's has nothing to do with anything xP

@every1 else- Thankya

[LaFille]

That's cool, Mobbie, and no wonder a relief; I love to dream.
...Would this change have to do with a summer love, perhaps? ;D

[mobbie]

In fact Fille, I missed my summer love, she was already back in US by the time I got my vacation.

What this change is due to.. Hard to tell, but I'm still dreaming normal dreams

[janggut]

well at least all is good. i'm glad u have good dreams to dream & yeah, like Fille, i thought that maybe something good happened to u in your waking life that somehow influence your dreaming life.

[rockergrl]

It's cool when you have a really good dream cause it feels so real! I usually mostly have good dreams very rarely do I get scary dreams or that.

[mobbie]

Well there are up's and down's with both nightmares and good dreams..
Though after dreaming nightmares all your live, you learn to appreciate the variety

[ss]

I will have a hard time identifying with you Mobbie, because I NEVER, (for all practicalities) dream...Just never have them..my wife says she dreams in color and all that stuff, but I haven't had dreams (that I can recall) for most of my life (65 years)..

I have definitely had some nightmares when awake.... ;D

[mobbie]

Haha SS Well NOT having dreams also have it's up's and down's I suppose Atleast you dont need to wonder if you are awake

Everyone dreams ss Just not everyone remembers them, it has something to do with the phases of your sleep, but I'll let that to the scientists among us to explain ;D

[janggut]

ss, when u say that u don't dream, u're actually dreaming. ;D

[ss]

Wow, thats funny Jang... ;D

I just dream the impossible dream.. ;D

[Ubereil]

SS, all I know is that if you NEVER dreamt you'd be walking around with CONSTANT headache since dreams are the brain's tool to sort out the days experiences and impressions. If you DON'T sort them out, you'll get a headache. That's allso the reason hangovers are so painfull. If you fall asleep drunk you don't dream .

Ube, ss has been in a black hole before (needed to be sober to realise that). he can survive a little headache due to lack of dream. ;D

[killerzzz]

Memorable dreams are most commonly caused by having something on your mind when you go to sleep; be it a thought or a stronger-than-usual emotional state. These thoughts or emotions can set the theme or tone of the dream.

Also, sounds, feelings, temperatures, smells, etc, can sometimes filter themselves into your sleep if you're one who dreams alot.

If you blank your mind a good time before you sleep, you should avoid dreaming. Also, having little mental stress or... exercise (if you don't tire your imagination or feelings through some amount of usage) you'll dream very little (that you remember) if at all.

If you tire yourself physically alot, rather than mentally, you also have few dreams because the form of sleep that rests your body is deeper and different than that which causes you to dream.

Since I dream alot, I've had a good many chances to study myself. ;D All the above comes from personal study, rather than anything scientists might say (except for the physical sleep vs. mental sleep thingy; that I learned though research).

Thats my take on dreaming, and I think it works pretty well.
Do you fit my profile of a non-dreamer ss?
