I dreamed of him and his rather unpleasant mother several years before we met. I remembered the dreams the first time I visited him at his parent's home... as I followed the directions to get to the house, I started remembering the dreams I had years before of going down the same roads, to the same house. Funny, our relationship has turned out very similar to the way the dreams went.

I often dream of people, and occasionally I will dream of someone and they will call me up to report that they dreamed of me.

it's really scary when you meet someone you have dreamt of before. it makes me feel sick.

i try, if i can figure out that i am dreaming to ask the people who they are and why they came to me in a dream but they always reply with wierd answers like "i don't know, who am i?"
but usually i can't tell if i am dreaming or if i am awake until i wake up and even then i am unsure.

I dream about zombies sometimes. Usually it's like in "Return of the Living Dead", only in an advanced state of the infestation, and there are very few living humans left in the world. Sometimes I am a member a resistance group, and we fight the zombies. One time I remember that the door to our hideout was a Coke machine. You had to have a key to open the Coke machine, and once you got it open, it went into the hideout. We had a lot of weapons in there. Normal guns mainly just slow the zombies down, so we used a lot of flame throwers and explosives. Also we had weapons stashed all over the place. In towns, in buildings, barns, that kind of thing, because we were always on the move on zombie killing missions, and you never know when you'll run into a roving band of the undead. Some of the people I work with were also in the dream, fighting zombies. We were out on some mission, close to my highschool, and we were jumped by a band of a couple hundred of the brain suckers. After our flame throwers ran dry we ran into the school because I knew that in the locker room there used to be another one stashed there in my old gym locker. I made it, but I think they got the rest of the platoon, I don't really remember, but I got the locker open in time and fried the bastards. I remember the goo running down into the drain in the locker room.

Sometimes I dream that I can fly. It's not really flying like the birds do it, I just sort of concentrate, thinking light thoughts I guess, and then I can float. To move I have to keep kicking my legs and waving my arms while continuing to concentrate. Steering is difficult, and not very accurate, but I can get off the ground a good ways. I remember one time I was flying, and someone was after me. It might have been the zombies, I dont really remember, but I found this big valley that somehow I just knew was a safe haven. So then I practiced flying around in there for a while. It was really cool.

I don't have a SO. Actually I'm sort of wondering why I made this reply, and I now so are you. I go now.

Flying dreams are cool. It was hard for me at first, but now I just shoot around like Superman. :) Sometimes I run into telephone and electrical wires, though... and sometimes I get dizzy from going too high. I land on roofs a lot and peek into strange houses.

Dreaming is fun.

I had dreams about my SO when we were dating. Unfortunately, we aren't together any longer, we don't talk, and she still haunts my dreams.

Of course, all the time... Oddly enough, it is almost never anything sexual. Usually just really odd every day situations that in the end make no sense. :)

Why, did you recently have any interesting dreams?

You're not strange, that's just normal... I've had that happen so many times, I'm 100% sure that our dreams can tell us the future, if only we could somehow make any sense out of them.

Yea, I feel like somehow I can just will myself into the air, but for some reason I can only go so high then I come back down, but never hard... I'm also not afraid of heights in my dreams, while I'm deathly afraid of them in real life...

What strikes you as strange about that term? I actually prefer to use it over bf/gf (don't mind spouse). The only problem I have with it is that anyone could be a significant other, yet not a lover.

To answer your question: You don't wanna know. They're too luvly for me to share. There's one memorable dream I had. . . . It was unbelievable. :eek: :D I always wished it came true. Anyway, basically for every lover, I've had very funny dreams . . . just too personal to discuss/share. :p

S.O. sounds so clinical to me, so removed, so formal in some ways, evasive, like you're trying to keep from pinning down what they actually are. But bf/gf sounds rather trivialized and puts a societal definition on a relationship where no definition like that may exist. So, with the lesser of two evils... :)

Yes. I mean no. I mean kinda. What I'd like to know is which one, and what happens when others are insignificant. It really depends... as I live more, the lines between dreams and reality become increasingly blurred.

Oh and they're always in Technicolor.


Cheers ! :)

Can't put what happens, though... :eek:

Mmm... someone likes Paige... ;)

I can honestly say I've never dreamed about anyone here...

Most of my dreams are sureal anyway, not real enough to have "real people" in them... Just images mostly...
