me jane 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Do you have nightmares, or dreams with recurring themes? When? Last night I dreamt that I heard the doorbell ring and that Mr Tarzan (senior) and I went to the door to have a look. The handle was turning and someone was trying to get in. Then I woke up freaked out cos I wasn't sure if the doorbell had really rung or if I had dreamt it. I think I've had this dream before. My mum always told me that eating cheese before bed will give you nightmares but I have't noticed that. If I have a nightmare it's usually because I am too hot. Last night I put the aircon on and went back to sleep. Hate sleeping in aircon though. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I cant say I have reoccurring nightmares but I do have some occasionally. I think I tend to have more when I am stressed about something but thats not always the case. I ve been told that you see nightmares if you eat too much before you go to bed.

I'm Sexy 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Sometimes I had nightmare and I wake up short of breath. But I am not good at remembering the story. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I remember most of my dreams either bad or good. I can even remember some dreams I had more than 10 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I laughed myself awake sometimes. It annoys my wife though, then she's a bit of a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Me Tarzan once dreamt he was being chased by a giant cockroach and I was woken up half suffocating as he had me in a headlock, thinking I was the cockroach. Another time he was dreaming about something else and punched me in the mouth, giving me a fat lip! (I think I posted about that before). Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I was waken up in the middle of the night by tsondagirl kicking and punching me. Once I asked her whats wrong, she said she saw a dream of me cheating her with a 20 years old girl. At least I know whats coming... Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Once when I really wanted to get back into cycling I had a dream that I was riding. While doing so, I was on my back and my legs were in the air going round in a pedaling motion! I had bad snake dreams after watching Anaconda! I had one of those giant soft snakes on my bed and I woke up in horror telling my wife to watch out as it was going to get us!. Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I used to have bad dreams after watching Dr Who. The only really bad dream I had in the last few years was a big earthquake and I woke up in a real panic, short of breath. You know like in the movies ( though the lights in my room were turned off ) Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, it sucks. I've had these really weird distinct psychadelic bad dreams which seem to occur after taking a certain type of cold medicine. The other recuring dream I have is that I'm at a ski hill or going skiing and it's a bluebird powder day but there's so much crap happening and I just can't seem to get to the lift. I always wake up before actually getting on the lift or getting any turns in. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Originally Posted By: ger I've had these really weird distinct psychadelic bad dreams which seem to occur after taking a certain type of cold medicine. like NyQuil? Or some of that J-stuff. Ive felt like I had some acid a few times. That stuff is evil I felt like I was hungover for a few days afterwards....abunai.

I had it from when I was 5 or 6 years old and still see that same one now. Back then it was just young and afraid, now it means Im getting quite sick and prolly wont be moving the next 24-48 hours.

Not sure what the cold medicine was. Anyway, I'll be sure to try some of that NyQuil Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I reckon a nightmare would be waking up with a stumper on your arm. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I often have very vivid nightmares, and remember them very clearly when I wake up. It is interesting though that some of the nightmares I have had, have actually prepared me for real life events. I had lightening quick reflexes one afternoon poolside grabbing my 2 yr old son as he fell into the pool - so fast the top of his hair did not even get wet. I did not spill a drop of my drink, did not miss a beat in my conversation and the child was completely calm - I wrapped him in a towel I had next to me while the people nearby stood with thier mouths open at how it had unfolded in front of thier eyes. Truth be told I had had recurring dreams about him falling into a pool and drowning for MONTHS! I always positioned myself poolside and kept one eye on the pool one eye on him - and was always prepared with change of clothes and a towel nearby. My CPR is and always has been up to scratch. It was like all those dreams were preparing me for that day, and when it happened it was like it has been rehearsed over and over. My Sister in Law still tells the story to anyone who will listen. I have lots of experiences like that. I am not paranoid about dreams, or think they are like psychic premonitions - but I do think it is subconcious preparation in some instances.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ohh no MeJane...I would think that if this was some subconcious thing that you might have been concerned you had not locked up the house properly at night - a subliminal reminder to lock the doors before bed maybe.
