Well, I've been lurking for a while, and I've noticed a pattern. Just about everyone here (and everyone I know IRL) has these weird, interesting dreams involving freaky dream creatures, unearthly locations, impossible actions, etc.For some reason, I just can't relate. All my dreams are so realistic and non-dreamlike that I often wake up wondering how the hell I ended up in my bed before realizing I was just asleep. Does anyone else feel like this, that your dreams just don't feel like dreams are supposed to?
I love you. Almost every dream I have involves waking up and going about my daily life without any sort of otherworldly interventions whatsoever. Everyone and everything acts like they would normally. YOU'RE NOT ALONE, SON!
>>496THANK GOD! I seriously thought I was alone on this one. My dreams aren't really all that "normal", but during them I never really feel anything is too out of the ordinary, and usually the only thing that creeps me out even remotely are a few people who stand there staring at me with huge smiles for no reason, but they're so unexciting that they're not really worth mentioning.
I'm kind of middle of the road. I have dreams about wacked-out shit, and then I have dreams involving my friends and family and my daily life. And then I have dreams that run in between.
>>504So, that's almost how I feel, but I can honestly count the number of odd / nonsensical dreams I had throughout my life (in case you're wondering, about 3-4, 5-6 if murder is considered not-normal, despite not being the type of non-normal that I'm thinking of).Edit: Well, 4.5/6.5 now. Last night, had a dream that I was back in high school, a cute classmate ask if I'd like to go out for coffee. I accept, but it turns out they meant for me to take their little sister out for coffee. I walk into the coffee shop with her, pissed off beyond belief, and one of the workers behind the counter was none other than UBOA (making this my first Yume Nikki inspired dream). The dream turned out to be quite pleasant, as the girl did try to cheer me up and was fun to be around (despite me hating children IRL), the tea that I order being delicious and Uboa being a great chef / waiter. Also, he was really friendly for some reason. There was much more to the dream, but it was all too normal / boring to recall. Last edited 10/08/07(Sat)14:09.

>>505>>their little sister>>UBOAOMG MADOTSUKI /kiddingOn topic- I don't remember most of my dreams unless I write them down, and I've only been keeping a dream diary since 2008. But as far as I can tell, the wacked-out dreams, the nirmal dreams, and the in-between dreams all count for about 1/3 each of my total dreaming...Though recently I've been having less wacked-out dreams. Makes me sad. :(

Well, my dreams mostly take place in a "real" world as well, although they're different in some ways.For example, sometimes i'm unable to control what i'm doing - like, standing on a street, but i can't just walk down the street, i have to wait till the scenery changes. Or until something else happens, once i was unable to dodge a car, then i woke up lying on the floor with a stupidly aching head.Also, mostly i'm just a spectator in my dreams, and unable to interact with other people/animals/living things.And sometimes, the dream is just... somewhat distorted. Idk how to describe it... not just that i'm unable to decide where to move, but even unable to turn my head/look somewhere else, rarely combined with a fear of something out of my field of view i don't even want to see.Well, i guess this relates to my life pretty well, if i think about it...

I have had dreams on both spectrums of the exciting.Normal dreams that I usually have are simply recalls of mistakes/events in life that I want to simply fix and most often I do. Another type is simply my creative scenary/toyroom dreams were the place/objects are very much real and I just experience.

I am very much the same, and I'm glad I'm not the only one. Every so often I will have a dream that's a bit far-fetched, but most of the time it's simply the scenarios I've been in over the past month replaying in my mind.
My dreams aren't normal, but they're usually not crazy (unless I ate something before bed or whatever) Most of the time I only remember fragments of my dreams, and no matter how crazy my dreams are they always seem real. For example, if I can't walk but can only jump walk I don't question it for a second. Only time my dreams are extremely weird and memorable is when my writing ( I write a lot) mind is on in my dream and while sleeping my mind makes this waked up story that I'm usually watching, or playing a character in. That hardly ever happens though... but I had a dream like that last month I can still remember it to detail.
