How do you dream?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

In color or in black and white/grayscale? From your perspective, or from a more distant, voyeuristic view? Etc.

I dream in color, I suppose, and a few times I've had tactile sensations involved--feeling the rain (it was raining in the dream) on my skin, smelling someone's perfume (which had the same smell, which I remembered, from the dryer sheets I'd been dealing with that day). I think my dreams are in my perspective; that is, I'm the main character in them, and the dreams are about things happening directly to me. I know someone whose dreams are always in a sort of third-person fashion/narrative fashion, which I find incredibly weird to think about.

I say "I think" because my dreams are not so much things I actually remember vividly and play-by-play, in the moment (though sometimes they are) but because my dreams are mostly like weird remembrances that come to me as I wake up. My dreams seem to be more of "general impression" dreams, too, not dreams that have particularly specific actions. And my dreams are always menial and fucking random. I dreamt about going to an amusement park with people once. The dream (at least as I remembered it) was pretty much just walking around an amusement park. Seriously, what the fuck is up with that? I can almost never remember really specific details about dreams, like faces. In my dreams it's more like running along a beach, say, with my friend, and never picturing my friend's face. I just feel, instinctively, that my friend is there.

I'm not a visual/sensory person, though. Even now, fully awake, I cannot picture my friend's face. I can picture the general gist of it, but not what it really looks like. So dreaming's weird for me.

3. To answer seriously

my dreams are exactly like being awake, except that when I wake up I realise they weren't real. :hi:

5. See, that's sorta weird for me.

I usually have dreams that I would call "semi-lucid"--that is, dreams where a very vague part of me is aware that this isn't reality, but I cannot control it and don't particularly wish to. My dreams are usually a little washy, especially in hindsight. And they ALWAYS seem to go on and on and on and on and on.

7. Colour and third person..

Usually lucid. Between hitting the snooze button on my alarm clock it seems like dreams that last hours are actually last only a couple of minutes.

I don't dream often. When I take melatonin I get crazy dreams often, but I enjoy them.

9. Color. Usually first person.

Like a fantasy RPG, though by pressing the C key, I can switch between first and third person cameras. :crazy: :P

10. I dream in color...

First-person view.

I usually find that I have more vivid dreams if I drink a bottle of Vitamin Water. I think one of the B vitamins is the cause of that, but I'm not sure which one.

The last dream I had involved my mom driving Clint Eastwood to a hotel he was staying at. All I can remember thinking in the dream was "I don't think I should tell him I'm a liberal."
