i remember odd dreams,

2 weeks ago!

i had a dream where i was at work (in a bakery) and we use quite big mixers (which can take 32KG of flour) and for some odd reason i was killing people and using the mixers to cover up the body parts! & i also killed my boss... and everyone kept asking me where people were , i was like i've got no idea .. so id have to kill that person who was asking for the person i had already killed ... it did that in a loop for ages.

All of my dreams have been in color

Not Everyone Dreams in Color

Whether people dream in colour or not depends, almost entirely, in whether they grew up watching black and white films or not. Before B&W films started being common; there are no records of people recording having dreamt in B&W. During the period in which B&W was the norm, dreaming in B&W was so common that dreaming in colour was considered abnormal. Now, when we watch colour TV and film, people have returned to dreaming in colour.

The body can't sleep on planes. Fact. Well, I can't anyway. Can't sleep sat up. No matter what, unless I'm in business where I can lie down. I'm faulty :(

And I never remember my dreams :(

I can't sleep sitting up either, it doesn't matter if I'm in a plane, car, coach or on the sofa at home I find it impossible.

however I do react to dreams in my sleep as I've knocked my lamp over and have actually flinched or ducked/dodged in my sleep apparently. :o Oh and I talk too - I'd make a bad spy :p

I apparently laugh some times!!

I also move during sleep, I've kicked my wife in the head recently (sounds odd i know!).

Blind People Dream
We Only Dream of What We Know
Our dreams are frequently full of strangers who play out certain parts - did you know that your mind is not inventing those faces - they are real faces of real people that you have seen during your life but may not know or remember? The evil killer in your latest dream may be the guy who pumped petrol in to your Dad’s car when you were just a little kid. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces through our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

This is one that confuses me - often in my dreams I often find that I can speak and understand a foreign language that I don't understand. (Polish, Turkish, Portugese) My only explanation for this is either that I've heard people speaking it on the street and I'm just regurgitating what's in my subconsious mind, or I'm just producing sounds (in my dream) that have the same kind of phonetics as the languages.

I can :confused: I've literally been out for the count and the only thing that woke me was the landing - I was out of it, it wasn't dozing, it was a proper full on sleep. I trained myself when taking my 40+ flights a year I had no choice to learn to sleep/relax in the plane.

Seems everyone but me can :(

At Easter I flew Bristol > NY > Colombia, 14hrs total flying, 18hrs travelling, with only 2hrs sleep the night before...I was totally shattered but just couldn't sleep. Mindyou I partly blame the tiny 767s Continental use on those routes :(

Flown across the Atlantic 6 times this year and only slept once, when I could stretch out in premium econ. Not fair!

Fortunately gf now lives in Bournemouth so that time is over :d
 
This conversation came up a few weeks ago in my house whilst I was trying in vein to listen to the television through the usual omnipresent barrage of yapping. My son is 22 and still believes that when you fall asleep your eyeballs roll upwards to face your brain, which emits the images seen in your dreams. Pratt.

My wife is of equal intelligence. She believes that dream images come from your eyelids twitching, which acts as a form of projector for your dreams. :rolleyes:

I can still remember with vivid intensity a dream I had when I was about 5.....and that's a very long time ago!

My long term memory is excellent and I can remember things (with details) from before I was 5yrs old. Quite strange considering that sometimes I forget why I went to Morrisons :p

the bit where your dad's with u, it wasn't a dream...it was real ;)
 
I usually remember dreams, like last night I was fighting antlions and zombie-things with a large kitchen knife at the top of a skyscraper. Wonder what it meant.
 
I used to have nightmares that I could always wake from.

But the night after my hcoulder operation whilst still in hospital I had my first case of paralysis or a cheeky night terror. Was watching aliens, a film I love (n the hospital pull down screen). Then when asleep I kept going into new areas like churches, classrooms, and toady from neighbours kept coming up behind me trying to strangle me. Couldn't wake up from them until I literally thrust myself out of bed. Shoudler wasn't too happy.

Have the odd one every month now, and are impossible to wake up from even when i realise what is going on in the dream and takes about 3 attempts to fling myself up in bed and out of it.

Explain :p
