Does anyone have crazy rediculous dreams. I dreamed this morning a dream so real I got up thinking I had to get ready for work. I dream of parking my car along a familar street then can't find it, paying five dollars for an old bicycle to ride looking or my car, of getting a job and can't remember the company's name that hired me. I can't find my car and I'm biking to my mother,s house to find out if she will take me to locate my car. It's getting dark, I have a flat on the bikes front wheel. I can't seem to locate my mother's house and I have to go to work at seven thirty in the morning, all in the same dream. I'm thinking I may be getting too old to socializing on a forum like this sone. Does anyone else have crazy dreams or is it just me?:mad:
 

I have ridiculous dreams like that all the time Drifter, and the ones where I can't find my car, or the car just goes slow regardless of the gas pedal, or I'm walking on foot through strange neighborhoods trying to find my way home can be super frustrating.

I often dream about work too, and it's never a feel-good dream, something's always going wrong. I do sometimes have great dreams of sweet animals, beautiful scenery, or flying through the air, everything is always in vivid color. Never too old to socialize of a forum, IMO, keep the brain working and alive.
 
I had a really bizarre dream just this morning! We have friends,really more our daughter and SIL`s friends,but we solialize with them too. Anyway, I dreamed that it was John`s birthday and hubby and I gave him a baggie of marijuana! Where in the heck that came from,I can`t imagine. Anyway,we put that baggie in his birthday card and sent it along to his party as we were not going. My daughter called me later absolutely furious because he opened it in front of his parents,his inlaws and kids and was mortified (he would be too,lol). His 15 year old saw it and burst into tears.

Reminds me,I have to call my daughter and tell her about this-she`ll love it. And I have to stop eating dinner so late I think....
 

I'll swap two lost dreams for one Bizarre dream.

I have to stop watching weird youtube videos before going to bed they get mixed in with other things already stirred up in the brain. And probably the late night snacks don't help matters. :D
 
Okay, I'm not the only one out in radioland whose brain gets a work-out once, in a while, while we're sleeping
 
Do you take Beta Blockers? Weird, sometimes scary dreams are a well known side effect of certain types. I experienced these dreams and I mentioned it to my GP. He said that dreams wouldn't harm me, but high blood presure would. Later I told a different GP who said that he would change my prescription. I still get some dreams, but not so bad.
 
Let's just say my dream got crossed up with the following not exact, but, in ideas, throw in dentistry and and a few other oddities and I still can't figure out how it all worked together. Or maybe I can, now that I'm thinking back on the day. LOL

I have an occasional night when I can't seem to get my mind out of gear. I just lay there and think....and think....and think and when I run out of things to think about, I switch over to worrying. That's when the Valium comes in handy; it seems to shut down the process. I got the prescription almost a year ago. I've had it filled once (30 tablets) and have only used about 25 tablets in all that time; I'm about out so I called the doctor's office to see if they'd call in another prescription for me and was told I need to come in to be evaluated for drug abuse. Drug abuse? WTF? I've used less than 30 of the lowest-strength Valiums in 11 1/2 months and they think I'm a drug abuser?
 
I have weird dreams all the time. Sometimes I have nightmares that I'm late for work or have a new job. And I've been retired for 7 years!

When I quit smoking 21 years ago I used the 24 hour nicotine patch and they gave me the most vivid dreams. Seems like I dreamed all night. I even dreamed I was smoking and could smell the smoke!
 
I have 'em, too. Especially the one about not being able to find my car, or not being able to get it started, or the brakes don't work. I also dream I'm trying to get ready to go to work (I'm retired now) or somewhere else VERY important that I be there on time, and I can't find clothes I need, or makeup, or car keys, or I get on the wrong bus. The weirdest one is I frequently dream I am at the same intersection of several different highways and I can't remember which one to take and I have to make the decision very quickly.

I used to dream a lot about being chased by bad guys who were gaining on me, but I haven't had that one since I retired (the dream was probably the result of working for a mean, micromanaging boss).

Drifter, if you're nuts, then I am, too!
 
I've heard talk of not being able to complete a fall or die, not true for me, I've done both separate and in the same dream. 'some of the worst experiences you ever want to feel. You wake, but you've felt the breath leave your body prior to your waking. It hasn't happened in this year, the death thing, but, I woke in tears to say the least as it was such a mind blowing experience and no one to talk about it with made it so much worse at that moment. This is really the first time I've mentioned it I think. The dying part anyway, it was all too weird. Could be related to the medicines I take, I don't know, I've always been a vivid dreamer since I was a very young child, pretty much looked into trying to figure out meanings and so forth and realize it's mostly the subconscious dealing with things or sometimes something as simple as having left the tv, radio on and those voices worked its way into your sleep.
 
When I was a young kid I dreamed I was being stabbed in the back with a huge knife. I must have seen something on the TV to even have that thought, because there was no violence around me in real life. I woke up by springing to a sitting position in my bed, and feeling my back with my hand. Also have had dreams of falling wake me up, mostly when I was young.
 
Recently I've had the following experience- I go to sleep and have some dumb dream, I wake up to go to the bathroom and recall the dream and say to myself 'I'm really glad that was only a dumb dream', I go back to bed, fall asleep and have the same dumb dream. Clearly my subconscious mind just won't take NO for an answer.
 
You ever have those dreams you think you woke up only to find out you were still having another dream inside a dream.

What I really hate is when I wake up from those dreams when I'm on an ice-cream, cake or candy binge, or any time I'm about to indulge it just seems I never get to actually eat any of it. LOL, same with finding loads of money, winning the lottery of which I don't actually play but maybe once a year if that. I've gotten to the point in some of these dreams where I say, uh huh, any minute, I'll probably wake up, well sometimes other times I'm shoe shopping.

All the time, drifter. I have lots of short dreams that make no sense at all. Usually I can't remember them.

me too Pappy. Most people have 'worry' dreams like being lost, can't find something [house, car, wife etc.] Also ones where your shopping bursts out of bags [just as you are trying to board a bus or train and you can't stuff them all back in the bag.] AAAAAArgh.Realising that you have gone to work wearing your slippers [and sometimes ONLY a pair of slippers!]
Driving a car and swerving madly around the oncoming traffic and then the steering wheel coming away in your hands.
Dreams are certainly weird sometimes, it's as if your brain is taking a lot of info, things you have seen, read about and worry about and then it amuses itself at night when you are asleep by making bad B movies for you.;)
 
Yes, me too Oakapple, I hate those driving dreams when you're all over the road and the exposed and slipper ones too oh my. Last night was another doozy. Trying to escape a lunatic, someone I knew, no less, who was chasing people, and zoomed in on me. I truly should have written that one down, it would make for a great horror but funny nightmarish story especially when I was trying to get through this weird vel that down the way had people walking through with no problem and I ended up just strutting through just many other folks. Duh. Now that I think of it, this dream definitely had something to do with the last movie I was watching before I turned off the tv and the old group of friends I mentioned a while back. LOL There goes my writes to publish without plagiarism being claimed well to a small degree anyway.
 
Start a dream journal...then let me know...I'll ll give you the name and number of a good psychologist.
