Perspective
- In my dreams I am always the third person not myself. And most of the time my dreams happen at double speed. Strange, huh?

Strange Dreams
- I always used to have lots of strange dreams, but whats really strange is that they all ended with me falling down the stairs. And it felt like I was falling too, but it stopped when I moved to a different house. Does anyone know why?

School dreams
- I continually for several years have had unsettling school dreams in which I am not prepared for class and don't even remember enrolling in college. On my first day of school I am asked to take the final exam. However, I don't remember taking any classes and I haven't read any text books. I'm drawing a complete blank. This is a recurring dream, but the last one depicted me as a doctor and my final exam was to perform surgery! I woke up in a panic. Any insights?

Car Crash
- I often wonder about my dream in which I am driving on gravel dirt road, and then roll my car in an accident. I walk away from the car and try to tell people about the accident, but nobody will listen to me.

Unnerving dream.
- I had a dream last night that sort of un nerved me. I dreamt that some of the skin on my face had turned black ,pitch black, like when you get black food dye on your hands- mainly it was on my chin. I was really worried about it but told everybody not to worry and that it was just a stain- it would wear off. And then it did, the next day (in my dream) it was swollen and red where all the black had been but I got the feeling that, that would get better too. And that was the end of the dream, or what I can remember of it. I didn't watch a horror movie or anything before I went to sleep, I was quite tired actually, just hit the mattress. Thank you, if you reply, mainly it's just been interesting to read about what people dream of.

what i feel about dreams
- I am not sure if there is theory or previous studies about what i feel about dreams. Dream shows our actual mind. If you are in real life is scared about something, when you see it in dream, you will be scared extra. So if you are a very analytic person, in your dreams, you will try to analyze without much fear. And if you are brave in real life, you will be brave in your dream. Things like fighting when you see a lion in your dream and so on. The thing is, what you dream and how you react. you will do the same after you are dead because it's only mind after death and your body is gone. So you are the mind after you die. So the point is that if you make your mind strong, fearless and brave, you will be fearless in your dream as well. I noticed this through my dream. Before I get scared fast and in my dreams I get scared. I trained my mind and watched my mind. Now these days in dreams I get less scared. P.S. but if you trained your mind to be crooked, you will be really confused in dreams.

Invincible enemy.
- I have dreamt this kind of dream more times recently. I fight an invincible opponent. (I used to do thaibox and I fight like in real life) The opponent gets hits and punches that an average person would fall from 2 or 3. Furthermore the opponent doesn't manage to strike back, cuz my skills are far better, but he just stands all my hits without any sight of pain. And it goes for minutes long before I wake up or just don't remember more. I never lose, never win, and never take a single hit. It is like fighting with a wall in the form of a man. Also I am the one who starts the fight. There is always a random cause why I attack that man(never the same), and I can't find any connection between the causes.

a splendid and wonderful dream
- I had a dream this morning and I think it is the most wonderful dream that I had. It was about a guy who I met in school few months ago and we were constantly taking care and keep up to date with each other. I had a dinner with him and my friends the night before I had my dream. I dreamt of him, bringing me somewhere and I slept on the bed and he was on the floor. I was half-asleep and he took the blanket and cover me. Before he gone, I felt that he planted a soft kiss on my lips! I was half asleep and could feel it. OMG! What is my dream about ? I remember it so vividly in my mind!

Strange Dreams

All too often
- I regularly dream that I have a romantic connections with women I've never met in real life. They're faces are always very vivid in my memory, and we always seem to be having lavish celebrations together. Also, I frequently dream I'm Spider man, and I can swing on webs and beat the hell out of bad guys, its awesome. I also dream about twins a lot, being I am one. They appear as very subtle imagery, like the high note in a good song.

Can't Scream in Dreams
- Sometimes I feel like I can't scream in my dreams or like no one can hear me but I know I'm screaming as loud as I can. It gives me a feeling of really bad anxiety.
