Do you dream or day-dream?

It has been said.."Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming,
we lose the excitement of possibilities.

Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning."

What's yours?
 

What's my dream ?...or do I dream ?


I have lots of nightmares if that's what you're asking...

For about a year or more before my o/h did what he did, I had terrible regular nightmares about him, and would wake up sweating and with palpitations .. and would tell him, ..I''ve had a dream about you, and he'd say ''not again, I suppose I'm being bad in it again''.. and I would agree that in my dream he was...

..I should have guessed I was being forewarned, because it's not the first time I've dreamt about something which ultimately came to pass..

..if you're asking if I daydream..no is the answer to that, I've always been a person with feet planted firmly on the ground.. a realist

Daydreaming is a good mental exercise, so long as it doesn't interfere with your normal activities. We all dream but we don't always remember doing so. A very vivid dream often contains a message or warning, so needs to be heeded.

Daydreams have been replaced with fretting; almost constantly worrying over a specific thing (Paxton, for those in the know).

I think I'm becoming a bit neurotic. Maybe my Jewish genes are taking over.

On my drive to town I realized that I am allowing the "thought police" to enter my thoughts, and every time I do I get this feeling to stop thinking about "whatever". We are bombarded with rights and wrongs, do's and don't's. These small fears/frets interrupt our freedom of thought. I guess freedom of thought can be considered being dreamy, but that is not always true. Freedom of thought can give us adaptable skills to take care of the business we want to carry out, probably in a more efficient way.

That's a very good point. I have to advocate for my former foster son (Paxton), and re-thinking my last move while my head is empty of other garbage helps me be a better advocate. So I need to be ok with the "fretting".
 
If I dream, I very rarely remember them. I daydream a lot. I also kind of half-dream. I read my Kindle at night, and always fall asleep during that time. When I'm about to fall asleep, I'm still reading, but I'm continuing the story in my head as though I were still reading it. Eventually I think this is not my book, wake up, and then fall nearly instantly to sleep.
 
I grew up with being told that if you do not dream.....your sleep is not as rest full.
I dream, but not necessarily remember them......that doesn't make sense.....how do i know i even dream if i don't remember......
Big mystery ????????
 
I dream every night, and I often remember the dream after waking up. Many of my dreams involve my previous career.

Last night I dreamt that I was in a huge hotel with no logic in the numbering of the rooms. The hotel staff settled us into our rooms upon check-in. I then had to go to an off-site dinner. Upon returning to the hotel, everyone was following me and I couldn't find my room again. Other than the fact that I have no sense of direction, maybe there some interpretation to this dream? Maybe I'm thinking my current path is lost?

I think it is much simpler. Like a message to not be so worried about the precise order of things. To just let things be more, enjoy the moment, don't worry so much about the details.
 
I know there is a Hindu saying..."my heart needs only one freedom...the freedom to dream."

I think that is about hope and positively looking forward to the future.

I have been very bad about all that. Now consciously working on engaging in positive thought about the future...dwell in hope.
 
I seem to have an unusual mind because all my life as long as I remember, I've dreamed 100% of the time I sleep, just not during REM eye movement sleep. Even start dreaming whenever I fall asleep for a moment say watching TV and catch myself before collapsing rocking forward. Can never recall waking up not coming out of a dream. Thus my dream life over my lifetime has been enormous. Many of my dreams are episodic adventures, like at workplace buildings or out in nature exploring and climbing about terrain. Favorite dreams are powder and bump skiing and yeah that includes taking ski lifts. Amazing how my mind recreates these environments from memory with such amazing life like visual accuracy.
