The sky was dark, and there was rubble in every direction. Destruction had (somehow) taken over the earth. And all you could see was gray. Remnants of what used to be. There were only three of us left. Me and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (both dressed in formal clothing,) and a creepy taxi driver who was our tour guide in this apocalyptic life. She was driving us to locations we had known in our previous lives. We were talking about dropping acid. We were well aware that this was our new 'normal.' There was no going back. Now it was all going to be gray.
This was a dream I had a couple nights ago. And try as I might, I couldn't put the pieces together. I don't know why Mr. Gordon-Levitt made a guest appearance. And I'm not really sure why we were talking about hallucinogens. One thing I do know is that my dreams have always been really vivid. Even as a small child.
I love to dream. My dreams inspire me, and sometimes I dwell on them for far too long the next day. Peppy doesn't remember his dreams, and Gage doesn't remember many of his. But Owsley? As soon as he wakes up he will tell me what he was dreaming about. "Went to Mickey Mouse's house!" "We bought new babies at ToysRus!" (At least I am assuming this is what he was dreaming about, and not his personal agenda for the day.)
When I was a server I would regularly have server nightmares. I would go to sleep at night, and be waiting tables (in horrible situations) all night long. I know server dreams are pretty normal among people who wait tables.
And don't even get me started on the dreams I would have when I was pregnant. Man, hormones do crazy things to you.
So let's talk dreams. Do you remember your dreams? Do you have work related nightmares? Regular nightmares? Do you have recurring dreams?

I almost always remember my dreams or at least snippets of my dreams. My husband doesn't remember his either. I used to have work related dreams. Working in AR, they were often really boring. I mean, who wants to dream about numbers? Lately my dreams tend to involve cats, babies and my teeth falling out.
I remember about one dream a week. And usually I have multiple dreams a night. You should read about what they say about people that regularly remember their dreams. I read something about it once about them having better memory then us regular dreamers.
I always dream and I have very vivid dreams, often they play out like movies. In High School I used them to inspire my short stories... I still do, just now I never write them down. :(
And lately, they've been very stressed dreams.... I know what that says about my waking hours. Sigh haha
I had two really bizarro, vivid dreams last Thursday night. I woke up Friday morning feeling crazy, and I couldn't shake the feeling all day. It's rare for me to have dreams I actually recall in the morning, so when it happens I'm always digging around for meaning.
I have always had crazy dreams too! I read once that dairy is linked to nightmares and vivid dreams so I went dairy-free for a while and I did find that every time I ate dairy-free I had normal or no dreams that night.
But I love cheese so that so very rarely happens. I always have weird dreams, but especially while pregnant!
I often remember my dreams... sometimes to my benefit and other times, to my chagrin. I have a lot of nightmares. :/
I have insanely vivid dreams, and I do remember them. Last night I had a dream about living in a school bus because I could not remember where I lived. Even the bus number was clear in my dream.
Work related dream? Well, if you consider the blog my job then yeah. Creeper-me had a dream about you once. We met at Chuck E Cheese's and while we were chatting, two of our kids wandered off. We weren't worried because they just had to be together. We didn't even worry when we found out that there was a biker gang having a meeting in the restroom.
i have whack dreams when i can remember them. and i remember them foreeeeeeever. for a year after college i had anxiety nightmares about thinking i was finally finished with classes and about to graduate when someone told me i had forgotten a class...nerd much?? ps i love topical tuesday :)
My dreams are always so boring... always about work. I have two recurring themes that always pop up in my dreams. Never the same exact place or people, just the same two issues.
I either 'wake-up' in my dream and realize that I was suppose to be at work hours ago, and I spend the etire dream trying frantically to get to work. Somehow the thought never crosses my mind that I should just call my work to let them know what is going on.
OR- I find out that I have to go back to work at the place I worked 7 years ago because my previous employer just realized that they overpaid me in hours and I need to pay them back by working. I hated working at that place- that really would be my worst nightmare if I had to go back to work there.
*** I know so boring, right?
I dream in color, with lots of detail and almost always remember them. The worst is when it's a sad/depressing dream and I can't shake the feelings the rest of the day.
I love to dream and often remember my dreams.
I'm pregnant with my second child right now and have the craziest dreams.
One dream that's recurring is, I just had my baby and realize I have nothing prepared...no crib, no diapers...no name...nothing! I'm always asking myself what I've done the whole 9 months before ;) I'm always glad to wake up and realize it was just a dream and I have plenty of time to get ready for the baby :)
Dreams! I love dreams. I have incredibly vivid dreams that I usually remember. Just the other night, I dreamt two of my friends were space cowboys, and saved me from an axe murderer. I can't wait until I'm pregnant - those dreams will be out of this world.
