Dreams... I dream vividly... when i sleep. I remember about 80% of them when I wake. After an hour of waking, only about 20% of them are remembered. Sometimes, my dreamworld is more real feeling than reality - that's how vivid they are. The first really vivid one I can remember was dreaming of an electric blue energy-fireball inside the car (i was a kid - both as the dreamer and in the dream). It was peaceful, strangely - and I'm terrified of electricity.
As for recurring dreams, I have a few themes... One is of my teeth crumbling in my head when i'm talking/eatting/whatever. That one freaks me out.
Another is of Tsunamis - each time, i am trying to protect or get to my daughter. Sometimes, I'm in some tribal village and I am native, running up the hill - and I see my daughter ahead of me... and as the wave crashes over me, I hope with all my heart that my daughter made it to safety. Same theme, but I'm sitting on a seawall with my daughter... and i see the wave coming, but all i can do is hug her to me.
Another major one is Tornados... I'm FOREVER being chased by the buggers - and they'll change directions to FOLLOW ME. I live in a (mostly) Tornado-free zone, thankfully =D Same with Tsunamis... i just gotta worry about quakes & volcanoes LOL.
and i don't dream about THOSE =D
One I had shortly before my husband was asked to leave college (it was that or get booted... his grades were that bad LOL)... actually, had it three nights in a row... was of my recently (then anyway) deceased grandma...
in one, she was trying to call my hubby, but he was driving, so i had to answer the phone. I heard my gramma say "i need to talk to paul". I tried to hand the phone over, but the line went dead. I woke up in a sweat.
second night, i (dreamed) i was working on artwork... and i heard my gramma say, "I need to speak to Paul".... and it startled me enough I woke up.
Third night... and the night before hubby came home telling me about what happened at school... i dreamed i WOKE UP - and my gramma was sitting in my living room space, waiting for me. She said "I have to talk to Paul, but he isn't listening. You need to remember, it will all work out in the end." and she vanished.
i admit, i kinda blew it all off as grief. I DID tell my husband after both the second & third ones. Then, after he left the college, and told me what happened... i knew why i'd had those dreams. I didn't worry... and she was right. He's now manager of a local movie rental store. =D
Strange... but stranger things HAVE happened =D
