I absolutely love flying dreams, not for the actual flying, but because I always use my skill to get out of bad/unwanted situations. I’ll be in a foot chase and I’ll just zing off into the sky. I’m also the only one who can fly, so I show off a lot.

    I have two types that I love but rarely get to see. First is when I dream entire movies with a beginning, middle, and end. Bonus points if the movie is insanely surreal and sci-fi. The dreams I’ve had like this I still remember even after such a long time. And the other is dreams that have music in them. They’re the most interesting songs but I can never remember how they go after I wake up so I’ll never be able to hear it again.

    The ones where I have a "boyfriend’. Like… I don’t even know if this character is my bf. Sometimes it’s a faceless character, sometimes it’s just one of friends… Whatever it is, we have sex, cuddle n stuff. It feels rlly nice!

    I dream very, very infrequently, partially because of hypophantasia, partially because I learned lucid dreaming interferes with my sleep (it really isn’t that healthy), and also I’ve sort of stunted my dreaming. To explain, during a time when my outlook on the dreaming process was different, it used to be I primarily dreamt about people I missed. Such dreams were my glory, but then I’d wake up and the realization it was a dream once again would hit me hard.

    One night I had such a dream, it became lucid, and I discovered that, despite being emotionally numb in real life which meant I have a hard time crying, in my dream I gravitated towards crying, and it felt unnaturally natural because I wouldn’t have expected it if I don’t gravitate towards crying in real life. It came to a point when I didn’t want to dream anymore, even if I never dreamt that often in the first place, so I pushed my ability to do so far, far away.

        Okay? Yes. Satisfactory? Meh. I know life circumstances have demonstrated they could be better than they are. I’ve lost a few people in life in ways that are particularly difficult to think back on. I go about myself normally but I’d be lying to say I could confirm the parts of my mind I may be neglecting have or will ever see itself as beyond all that.

    Exploring. Sprawling woods, giant mansions, stairways leading down from basements or subways. With or without chasing a mysterious figure or a mysterious figure chasing me.

    Dreams that feel like a creation

    • Moving through some amazing scenery (waterfalls and the sea always look great) and knowing this is all part of your imagination.
    • Trying food with really weird flavors that still taste great. I don’t like food that much in real life.
    • A specific type of dream where you experience the plot in 1st person but there is also a voice over that you kinda control, in the style of a book. It’s a bit weird but became much more frequent after I started reading more. Anybody else get this?

    Being in a romantic relationship. Actually, I don’t remember having a good dream about anything else.

      Long time ago, someone told me that it means that someone will die or actually did. Few years after that, I had that dream. Family member died.

      Had the same dream two more times, same result.

      It was always me, pulling my own teeth, one by one.

      Edit: They died when I was asleep. Not after during the day.

    I love dreaming of traveling. I enjoy the fantastic adventures I have in my mind that inspire me to see more of the world!

      I really envy people who don’t remember their dreams. I wish I could teleport through the night instead of waking up scared and anxious.

      I heard about a strategy for remembering dreams that did work for me, but to be fair, I already occasionally remembered dreams, I just wanted to remember them more frequently and with more detail.

      The moment I wake up, I write down absolutely anything I can remember about my dream. I found that as I was writing, some details would come back to me. After a few weeks doing this, I was remembering many details from my dreams nearly every night, and even having what seems like more vivid dreams.

      I did stop doing et EVERY day, cause for me, I just wanted to know if it actually works, but writing first thing in the morning every day felt like too much trouble. If I have an especially weird or vivid dream I do still like to write it down quickly just for the novelty of having a record of your own dreams.

        If we ever have the tech, I would love to have something that records dreams. I would spend so much money to be able to watch my dreams again.

    My absolute favorite thing is exploring big buildings (hotels, schools, etc.), especially if there is a surreal element to how different areas are connected.

    I hardly remember my dreams and when I do (which is usually if it has been interesting) I generally wake at some crucial point which is very annoying.

    At some point my nightmares just turned into exciting adventures that can be scary but not horrifying. I kinda like those. I’d especially like to visit this abandoned factory again I once dreamt of but the dream ended with the building being demolished, and in the future dreams there’s only been the foundations left and apparently my autistic, logical mind doesn’t turn off even when I’m dreaming so ofcourse that building can’t just magically respawn for me.

    My SO says I make noises indicating I’m not having a good time but I never wake up thinking I’m glad it’s over. I often dream about zombies or being at war but I like those dreams.
