So i'm going to go to bed in about thirty mins, but am anxious to do so because of my dreams.
I've always been a vivid dreamer, I had nightmares regularly as a child (most do), but of late it seems to be every night. My dreams have become more intense lately, and the topics vary wildly. All of them have the same recurring theme of having a very intense emotion, so intense that it wakes me up every single night, usually around 4am-5am (the past two morning have been beautiful sunrises, I was tempted to just get up and go to take photos before work ).
Anyway, sometimes I dream about people I once knew and have full blown conversations and discussions in my dream, sometimes being aware that it's only a dream and am able to have some sort of influence on what I'm saying. I feel that I have a strong connection with the person in my dream, like a friendship that I once lost is rediscovered or reconnected unlike it was in the waking world. Sometimes this relationship extends to people I didn't know, like celebrities, like I dream I'm good friends with Liam Gallagher (!) and we spend an evening talking about how shit Oasis are (or whatever it might have been, it escapes me). I dream I'm in an episode of Friends, and they're all my best mates in real life, and it's all a good crack.
Sometimes though (and this is the more disturbing part) I dream of a woman, she may or may not be ficitonal, but I feel in love with her in my dream to the point that it feels very real - the dreams have been recurring over weeks and months. I feel extremely guilty that I have let my waking girlfriend down, or somehow cheated on her, but then I wake up and I know it was all a dream (nevermind over a usually fictional person).
I dream of going to jail an alarming amount. Sometimes there is a reason for going to jail, sometimes it's not explained but it feels very, very real to me in the dream. Horrificly, I do dream of violent murder, sometimes it's me performing the murder - almost always in self defence like I am being attacked, or I kill someone by accident, or I am accused of killing someone but I have no knowledge of it, or that I am blamed/framed for something I didn't do .... then I have the jail dream along with intense feelings of guilt in the dream.
I dream of death a lot. I sometimes dream of events that have actually happened that I try to hide from, horrific events from history that I am forced to watch (participating in concentration camp activities) no matter how wrong it is. Again, huge sensations of guilt accompany this.
A lot of my dreams are based in my old family home, I've not lived there for 13 years but I never ever dream about my post-moving home, I always dream of my childhood home, but I am there as an adult.
There is more but I'm too tired to type anymore just now.
Do you dream like this?
