you are going to think this is weird, but I had that dream a couple of years ago. Anyone else had some really weird dreams?

[888888]

No.

I recently had a dream I looked and sounded like Neil Young.

[Defcon]

I think it's way over medication time for you buddy

I have lots of weird dreams like that. Probably drugs or lack therof.
I was given a prescription drug for breathing problems, Predisone. Causes really vibrant dreams. Kinda fun for a while, but bad side effects.

I was dreaming just last night that I'd managed to give myself radiation poisoning. It's only because I'll be working with radioactive isotopes for the first time on Tuesday. I'm not worried about it in the least - I know the shields are more than good enough and the staff won't let anything bad happen. I'm looking forward to having a play!

And no, I don't fear radiation - it's naturally occuring and we are designed to deal with it. I heard about some guy who had an accident with radiation and gave himself more than a year's limit of radiation dosage compressed into one or two seconds.

If he were to smoke a cigarette, he would recieve more of a dosage than he did in that accident. That's how strict controls and limits are on radiation safety.

I also had a dream about my grandmother who has been dead for many years. She came back to life and it scared me. I tried to leave her house, but the house kept repeating itself. Every house on the street was my grandmothers house. Then the street repeated itself. I was never able to leave.

I had another one where I opened 1 million doors and still couldn't get out.

I once had a dream that a friend of mine's girlfriend walked out of a mist wearing white and told me to take care of her boyfriend / my friend. I never recall my dreams -- but this one was so vivd and surreal, it just woke me out of my sleep. I finally fell back asleep. It turns out she had died that very night in her sleep, due to a heart defect. I got the call the next morning.

My firend self-destructed several years later and we lost touch. He was shot and killed in argument -- died while trying to drive himself to a hospital.

I have since felt like I failed at her request to take care of him.

That's the extent of my strange dreams and my brush with "visions".


*** And NO, I was not doing cocaine. It's just an avatar -- it's not necessarily reflective of the "real" me !!

[gitreel]

that was a really touching dream and story.

can anyone interpret my dream above, i've just been thinking about how fu...d up that dream is and wondered where it all comes from (i'm not an angry person and i don't go looking for trouble :P )

[Cobra]

I wouldn't have thought it means very much. I think you can only read so much into dreams - they are based on previous experience and the most vivid ones tend to be based upon recent events. Dreams arise from random electrical energy arising in the lower brain and brain stem being "interpreted" by the higher brain using recent memories as a linker to make sense of them. You also need to dream in order to properly settle memories down and file/organise information in the brain, it is thought.

Rats who were deprived of dreams (woken as they entered an REM state) went insane and died in little under a week. You must dream to survive.

If I was going to try to put a meaning to it, I'd say you'd overcome something major recently such as a problem you had, or stood up to someone who was bothering you. Godzilla, a big nasty git doing something to aggrivate you and you did something to nail him.

Godzilla was the personification of your problem?

Or maybe, just maybe... Was it just a random dream? If all my dreams mean something/reflect something I did in real life then I'm one seriously unbalanced, deranged, unhinged maniac without a single shed of sanity remaining. Oh, wait...

What about the precog dreams? I get these often. Dreamsabout someone whom u havnt seen or cared about for years,then bumping into them the next day at the airport,stripclub,etc. These are the ones that I question.

[Cobra]

Can't explain them. Being a scientist, I am compelled to say "coincidence". However, people believe a lot of different things about things like that, and I have no place questioning that.

So, I don't know. Funny things, though.

One thing I remember is dreaming vividly of being in a place, and waking up completely unable to remember it and then years later dreaming of being in the same place, and realising this and knowing it is exact to the finest detail. I'll not be able to remember it when I wake up again. It's like a recessive memory that can only be accessed when asleep.

This is why I want to go into neuroscience. I find the human brain and mind utterly fascinating, and I am sure I could study it for my entire life and still be unable to understand.

As Vilayanur S. Ramachandran once asked: "Can the machine ever be powerful enough to understand itself?"

I would love to talk with him someday. I could learn a lot.

the brain is a funny thing. You can have a tiny infarct that causes huge problems or a resection of an entire lobe with nobody knowing the better.

[curryman]

Thanks chaps, I don't feel so bad now.
The dream was along time ago, so as for overcoming a major problem, I really wouldn't be able to say..........maybe I had just managed to get my first VCD to work on the TV.eh!

[Faustus]

My dreams usually involve either world domination, or winning the lottery and buying my company so I can piss in other peoples cheerios for a change. Ok maybe not...

Funny thing is, sometimes i Have a dream, but when I wake up and remember, I realize for the FIRST TIME that its been a repetitive dream I've had many times. This has happened pretty much my whole life, some of them so real it makes me wonder.

I've had repeated dreams working for a company i've never worked for, it has no name, but I can picture the building in my head clearly.

I when I was younger and live "out in the country" used to dream of playing outside in an area near my house that DIDN"T ACTUALLY EXIST! that one was so vivid eventually when I was younger I went looking to make sure as it was an area we didn't goto much and I thought just maybe it was there, nothing in the dream made it IMPOSSIBLE to exist afterall.

[pacmania_2001]

I have precog dreams, nothing exciting though.

I very rarely remember my dreams although they are often quite vivid. The best dreams come from when you go camping and have been sitting around the campfire. Really produces some whacked out dreams.

To touch on what Ripper2860 I had a family friend a year or so who was living in England and suffered a minor stroke which was totally unexpected. Her mother said that the night it happened she had a vivid dream about her daughter and something bad happened so rang her and found out that she did infact have an incident occur.
