zzz - dream

Did you saw any relation (in the slightest) to stuff happening in your everyday life? Even if it's metaphorical?

My dreams tend to be everyday Stufe happening Like " a friend comes into my room and says: It's dusty you should vacuum. I answer: Yes I should."

Or weird stuff with a bit of Kind of cartoony gore… Ill describe more later but im at my phone right now.

I'm honestly jealous of you guys, since I usually dream of normal things such as eating a good dish, smoking weed and being weirded out from not getting any effect, brushing my teeth and feeling like they are still dirty, etc.

Not all the time, no. But I had one recently. Two mornings ago, I turned off my alarms and slept in some (don’t work, and I have online classes this quarter.) I had some amazing dreams. One was my dad talking about something. I don’t exactly remember what.

But the second! The setting was a rather large meadow, that was surrounded by evergreen trees. In the middle of the meadow was a little house, and against the front of the house was a cement pad, like, after you stepped down from the front of the porch. I was standing on the cement. I looked over to one side, and I could see that a forest fire was there, and that the fire was coming towards me in the meadow (slowly for some reason; like fire ever really moves slowly, jej).
All I could think of was burning strips of grass all around the cement pad and the house, so that the fire wouldn’t have enough fuel to burn right up close to where I was. I remember looking up after doing that, and seeing that the fire wasn’t too far off. I knew that if I ran off of the cement pad towards the other end of the woods where there wasn’t fire that I wouldn’t survive. I don’t know why, though. The cement pad wasn’t very large, and I also thought (thinking inside of a dream is really strange, BTW) that it would be like I was in an oven, but the flames would be the walls. Then suddenly I noticed a potted tree next to my porch that I hadn’t noticed before. So, seeing that it was green, I went and stood behind it, hoping that it would shield me from some of the heat (obviously the me inside of my dreams isn’t the best thinking; standing behind a potential source of fuel for the fire).
After standing there for a minute, sort of half crouching, I looked out, and the fire was gone, and the whole area was sort of dim, and a light rain/strong mist was falling. To me, the last part was the most interesting of the whole dream. It wasn’t dark, nor was it light. It was a bit on the darker side, though. And I was safe, and it was all damp. That image was in my mind as I woke up. Looking towards where the fire had been, and still seeing the trees standing, even though they had been burned. And the grass was there, too. It was like no fire had ever been there.

Sounds really comfy. With that awesome rain smell.

I try to find metaphors in them all of the time but usually can't. The only correlation my dreams have to real life is that if i am stressed out there will always be a time in my dream where i can't complete the simplest of tasks.

A good example would be when i had this very long dream. It was way, way far in the future. I was extremely poor and unbathed in a desert-like town, and i seemed to be about 17. I barely slept because i needed to protect my decent sized shack from break-ins. Everyone crowded around this one TV in town because most were either broken or stolen. There I saw a military commercial, and this led me to work my way through the ranks and become a captain of a starship.

But a few times during the dream i couldnt piss because the urinals were too high. I mean i was blowing up fuarrrking rebel supply depots and earning military medals but i had to stand on my toes to pee. Things like this happen when i am stressed. Driving, shaving, ripping paper or any other mundane task id sometimes just very time consuming and annoying when im dreaming.

Highly sophisticated 3 year old detected! Go back to bed!

Either that, or show me your time machine, NOW!
Polite sage. Because I am kind in Present Day, Present Time! AHAHAHAHAHA!

I do. Love them.

I recently dreamed I was on a little carnival ride like the slow moving ones at Disney World that pass by dioramas and the like, except to the right of our train was a massive IMAX screen showing a 3D movie which looked entirely real. A huge space ship appeared on the screen which was like a cruise liner only in space, and a massive volley of plasma bolts erupted from the side of our train striking the civilian ship, reminiscent of cannons on a pirate vessel of old. Passengers including families with small children leaped out into empty space to escape the horror on board. Then our train continued on with the ride.

Does that count?

What if i came back in time while in my late 20's after living my ripe teenage years in the future?

Sounds about right. A few times i had some that weren't in english. Just a bunch of grotesque soykaf speaking in some unknown tongue. Was more like watching a movie, i wasn't in the dream. Though i could kind of 'feel' what they were trying to talk about sometimes.

I think its because me and you, Op, have creative minds and we consume a lot of fiction.

I have this dreams sometimes and i am never me on then. The weird thing is that everything makes perfect sense at the time, just like you.
It's like i incarnate someones body and have a momentousness memory of the character i am, all in other dimension where our logic does not applies.
If someone is interested, i can relate some dreams, i have a dream diary.
(Sorry for grammatical errors, English it's not my native language)

More often than not. Although lately I've had an increasing amount of connections to my waking life in them which were painfully clear on the reasons, weren't metaphorical or trying to be subtle.

Mine are usually weird and crazy in a more abstract sense. What really annoys me about it is that I can't even get close to grasping them in words. Thus why my dream journal lacks half of the possible entries.

If the dream involves any story or easily describable events I can write it down but even then it doesn't do it any justice. I'd say it's because I'm just an illiterate dumnut but I don't know. I think it's also partly caused by the haziness of them and my occasionally poor recall. I can't put some of my weirdest dreams into any kinds of sensible sentences.

I'm actually learning drawing and stuff mostly in hopes that one day I'll be able to illustrate my dreams in some way.

Sure, do post.
