This one is interesting. When I was a kid I had nightmares basically every night. Very vivid ones....still vivid in my mind today.

But when I was 11...I was in an incident where I almost died, was in a short coma, sever concussion, in the hospital for a long time, etc....

Anyhow, since that incident, I am unable to remember dreams, except for one exception.... I can wakeup sometimes and know if I'll know if I had a good dream or bad dream (usually bad if I remember any feeling from it), but I cannot remember any specific detail. I'll even think I can but when I go to remember it's a big blank.

The only exception, and this will sound odd, is that I will, although very rare, have the same dream over and over and over for a number of weeks...every night. The exact same dream. Where it get's crazy is that when I have these, it's usually an event involved with me, and then an incident that is similar to my dream happens in real life. Totally bizarre and I don't even want to get into it on here...it's hard to believe.

See!

I'm so smart! I guess if law doesn't work out, I can always go to med school.

Same here. I can remember the dream for maybe 15 minutes in the morning and I can give it a wtf. But then it's gone...out of my mind.

I don't party hard (anymore). Well, I never did party too hard... just went out to hear some good music, then come home right afterwards. I was never into "after partying". I'm not a big drinker or drug user. If I go out to a club, which is like once a month these days, I'm home by 2 or 3am. I just get bored & tired (and now that it's winter, I get uncomfortably cold to the point where I feel sick). I think I have bad blood circulation, but that's another story (of course my doctor says I'm perfectly ok, even though I don't feel ok).

Originally posted by Electrophile Anyone else able to do this while they sleep?

Sometimes. When I was in my senior year in college I used to dream about code. It was horrifying.

As for nightmares I have them sporadically, usually after heavy drug use. I had a gnarly one on Sunday night

Originally posted by R!CH have you sought to interpret meaning from your nightmares? are they the same every time or are they distinctive?

I went on some website to see the meaning of certain dreams, but it was really vague. All my dreams are different and very vivid, although I have a few reoccurring dreams (but different scenarios)

quote:

Originally posted by R!CH is there a recurring theme?

Here are the reoccurring dreams in no particular order(don't laugh lol):

1. Tornado
2. Tidal wave
3. Earth quake
4. Demons/satan
5. Airplane crashing (while I'm either in it, or just a few blocks away from it)
6. UFO's in the sky (these ones are usually really colorful)
7. Water levels in ocean rapidly/dangerously rising
8. friends betraying me
9. Losing my boyfriend because of a natural disaster (ie earthquake, tidal wave etc)
10. Calling 911 for a life or death emergency, but they put me on hold or don't even answer my call at all

quote:

Originally posted by R!CH are you an observer in them or do you have control?

No, I don't have control of them at all. Sometimes I'm able to wake myself up though, because the nightmare gets so intense (ie, I'm about to die because of a tidal wave)

quote:

Originally posted by R!CH are you generally a superstitious or fearful person?

I have a really good imagination. I get scared of scary movies really easily (if that counts lol).

quote:

Originally posted by R!CH and when you had a concussion, how severe was the brain swelling and where was it? if the swelling damaged your amygdala/frontal limbic system, there could be a connection...

I'm not sure how severe the swelling was or what part of the brain. It was pretty bad though. I would have to contact my old insurance and see if I can get record of it. But regardless of that, my so-called "doctor" said my brain is "ok" in a recent MRI they did.

Originally posted by Lomeli The only times I WON'T remember my dreams is if I had smoked weed right before going to bed.

I was seriously considering to ask my doctor if I should smoke weed before I go to bed. I just don't think smoking weed is the best idea for me though. I don't want it to cause more problems.

Originally posted by mar46017 There's your problem. Try Xanax for your anxiety. It'll make you not give a f*** about anything and it'll also help you sleep throughout the night. (might have a problem getting up though)

I took Xanax once (this was like 4 months ago) while I was camping with friends... OMG, I had intense dreams that night. I dreamed I got up to use the restroom, then I accidentally walked into some random persons tent in the next camp site over. When I woke up, I was like holy shit, did that really happen? Did I accidentally sleep walk into someone else tent earlier in the night????

Originally posted by stefanoc another thing i suggest to you, although i am not too certain of, is to get yourself checked by universities. for example i know UC Irvine has great psychology program and a great research team. maybe going to them for help will be beneficial (i am not sure if they will be helpful but i don't know why they wouldn't help because they are always trying to learn and come up with new research). i know someone who graduated with psychology major from irvine a while back i can ask him if the school accepts "walk ins". pm me if interested.

Cool idea. UCI is too far for me though, but UCLA is nearby. Perhaps they do the same thing, and I should contact them about this.
