Share with us the dream you had last night.

On a few occasions, I've woken up from a dream, thinking it was a recall from my past, but not being able to recall that incident in conscious state, I would conclude it was just a recall of a similar dream from the past. I have never definitely determined which it was. Does anyone relate to something like that?

That's interesting @JustDave, like a DeJa'Vu of a dream.

Sometimes during the day, I will recall doing something in a certain place, only to become aware of the fact that I have never been in that place. It maybe a certain house, a street, another city, and I will pass that off as something I must have dreamed, but not during the previous night. It's more like it's from months or years ago. It's similar to what you call my DeJa'Vu dream, except that it happens in a conscious state.

That's interesting. So it's not quite like what we would typically think of as Deja Vu?

I just looked into it, a very little bit, and discovered that the current thinking on Deja Vu is that we are perceiving an experience, initially, incompletely, so that when we then re-experience or perceive it, in the same moment, it feels like we've been there / done that before.

Personally, I like the dream theory better and I don't see why that can't also be true.

EDIT: Typo

That's what I was thinking too. Deja Vu might just be a flash from a dream similar to the present event.
 
l used to dream every night with very vivid and inciteful dreams but now l don't dream at all. l now believe l have waking dreams
that tell me about what is real or not real in life. At long last, l am waking up.

I've just realized I used the wrong word in the last sentence of my post. I fixed it in the original post, but there's nothing I can do about the reference. That's not going to bother me at all. It's fine. :oops::ROFLMAO: --Is that just a me thing?

I could fix you references in my posts, but I've been studying my posts with references to yours, and comparing mine with yours, and I can't find any mistakes. But I make mistakes all the time, grammar, punctuation, and wrong words, so I'm no help.
 
I was working as a message/letter decoder, and I was new at the job and didn't really know how to do it. I had cool toys, but didn't understand them. My boss was telling me that he didn't think I would make it in the position, but I felt I would somehow figure it out.

The dream switched to body issues before I could manage to become proficient at my job, however. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️
 
I was going out to get a box of chocolates because I ran out, but a friend wanted me to first go with her to her friend's where we could get our nails done. We both wanted a Hello Kitty theme on our nails.

There was also something about weight training or working out a lot. Another friend was with me before the nails thing and she was hanging around in a covered porch area, but hanging off a piece of lighting that was just barely attached. I was amazed at her muscle strength in holding herself up on basically nothing.

As dreams go this one is easy to figure out. I've been playing a lot of Animal Crossing (thus, Hello Kitty), craving chocolates and working out daily.

Sheesh, I'd like to think I'm a bit deeper and more complex than the above indicates.

Time to consult Dreams AI. The link I was given led to something else, but then I went to Chat AI (something or other), and asked if it did dream interpretation, where it confessed that it did, but did not guarantee precise accuracy. It was almost an identical interpretation of the one someone posted in this thread from another AI source.

So I will guess most AI sources report nearly the same based on the fact that their data is all from the same sources.

I have consulted, Dreamy Bot on a few of the dreams I've read here, but I don't think my most recent dream needs it as it contains such obvious correlations to my waking life. 🤷‍♀️ ;)

I messed up...and maybe your right about the dream ai's scaping the same stuff. But here is the right link to the dream ai, dreamybot.com :)
 
Last night I dreamed I was working on my lawn mower while a friend was visiting, I was in the garage of the house I owned forty years ago. Then friend was gone and the lights went out and I fell to the floor but didn't understand why, then I realized someone was on my back trying to push my face into the dirt. I kind of exploded upward and realized there were other people there and I was being attacked by a gang and I couldn't remember where my gun was. Then I was awake.

I did work on my mower yesterday, a friend did stop to visit, I always have a gun with me when I'm out in the barn. Easy to see why my dream mind used those events, even placing me back to a garage of forty years ago makes sense, but I don't know where the gang came from.

I sometimes wonder if these types of dreams are partly evolutionary. Like the subconscious preparing us for dangerous scenarios, giving us the chance to review those dreams in hindsight and figure out what we would do differently in a similar real situation
 
Sometimes I dream of family pets from 40 years ago. I actually dreamed of seeing Bernie (Black German shepherd) last week.

Weirdest dream was standing on a platform in space, watching three moons go by. Dressed appropriately though, but it was so interesting I still remember a lot of it.
 
I never go one night without dreaming and without remembering the dream when I wake up. Almost all are about previous people I worked with.

Last night I dreamt I was going to visit two of my former sales team members to take some sort of test. They lived across from each other on the same street. In order to access their houses I had to climb under a small opening under the door to get to the foyer, then another small opening under the door to get into the house. In my dream, I was amazed that they lived across from each other.

Almost all of my dreams are about former co-workers, office environments and conferences. I think I spent so much of my time focused on work that even though I retired almost 5 years ago it is coming back to haunt me. Or since I have so little social interaction these days, my dreams are a way to recapture it.

In almost all of my dreams there is some type of challenge. Two nights ago I had a pleasant dream and it totally changed my mood for the day.
 
It's seldom that I dream about people I know, and the closer to them I am, the less chance that they will show up in a dream. Mostly my dream people are well defined, never the same as any other dream person, but strangers. We talk and do things together like we are friends, and I feel like I know them, but I've never seen them before. Nor have I made any psychological connects like, "Oh, that person represented so and so."
 
Very jumbled. All I can recall is that my youngest son, who has very curly red-brown hair and a redder beard now had close-cropped very white hair and a blonde beard. Oh, and somehow now he was also in the Navy.
 
Dreamed I was on my way to my son's 60th birthday party (which IRL we recently began planning) and I was pulling long gray hairs out of my bare legs. When we got to the restaurant for the party, my mother and aunt were there (both of them dead IRL) and they had long gray hairs coming out of their faces. I realized my own gray hairs were from aging.

I got up and went to the bathroom, then drifted back to sleep when I dreamt a gray kitten and a guy who looked like Cheech Marin were in my bathroom. They looked so vivid and real, my eyes flew open and I was about to go throw them out of my apartment, but then realized it was only a dream.
 
I'm back in college and driving over the Santa Cruz mountains via highway 17 to the beaches north of Santa Cruz, a favorite weekend jaunt back in the day 50+ years ago. Now I've exited my car and walking down the path to the beach eager to see all my friends again. But everyone on the beach are wearing Halloween type masks and I cannot tell who anybody is. And they're all silent and looking at me. I feel like an intruder where I'm not really welcome. I wake up.

No big mystery here......the past is gone and I'm different now than I was at age 18. My unconscious is telling me to be here now not back there then.
