I don't remember what I dream. It always seems like I fall asleep and boom, it's 6 in the morning and I have to get up for school. I very rarely dream of...stuff.

I can't remember having a lucide dream ever. Isn't a lucide dream suppose to be a state where the dreamer suddenly realizes that he or she is dreaming and there is no threat or problem, or whatever?
So if one is chased by a monster, the dreamer realizes the monster is just a dream and the threat/fear is gone.

That would be incredible. The problem for me is, I tend to focus on several objects, and while there is surroundings, much like peripheral vision, a lot of it is blurred quite extremely, or you just don't pay attention to it. There would be a lot missing.

I remember reading somewhere that if you don't remember you dream, you just fall asleep and suddenly wake up and it's the morning, you might have a social disorder or something. Is that true?

I wrote my previous post this morning at 6:55am. I went back to bed and fell asleep again. I had a nice dream. I can remember the entire dream and in this dream I was saying something, which I'm not going to reveal, to a woman and I laughed with it. She laughed back. It was something about my personality.
Well, when I woke up, I started to think about my dream, came to the moment that I spoke to that woman and immediately got the intuitive feeling that it was my subconscious telling me something, through a dream.
I believe that it is normal to not remember dreams when you have a normal sleep going through all 5 stages. But when you wake up for some reason during REM stage, you remember your dream you were having. You have more than one dream during a normal sleep cycle. According scientist, 95% of all dreams (during one night) is forgotten when you wake up.
People with a traumatic experience keep dreaming about this traumatic event they went through. I believe that traumas are stored in the limbic system which is a set of evolutionarily primitive brain structures. These traumas are send to the cerebral hemisphere and processed. If it is nog possible for traumas to be send to the cerebral hemisphere to be processed, you keep having recurring dreams because the brain wants to get rid of these traumas. If the traumas are stuck in the limbic system, the amydalae are most likely to over react and cause emotional problems. Long term emotional problems can lead to OCD, depression, phobia etc... .
This is all speculative. This is how I think my problems started. I learned about it when I started studying myself and try to find out why I had depressions, fear, phobias. It's during my study of the EMDR therapy, that I formed these hypothese
Scientist don't even understand fully why we dream and the how a brain functions. So, I'm probably wrong. Or maybe not.

AFAIK, if you fall asleep and you suddenly wake up and it's morning, you didn't get to the last REM stage. It's, I believe, in the REM stage that you dream. So you didn't go through all the normal sleep phases. Most dreams occur during REM stage (stage 5). If you wake up during the last REM stage, you'll probably remember your dream.

I believe, again as far as I know, that it's not really a good thing. It's probably a problem you are having in your life and something your subconscious can't resolve during sleep.I keep having dreams of the same thing.If its something good, you lucky b 🤬

Thread revival here.
Last night I had a very disturbing yet kind of cool dream.
Not sure what led up to the event, but I found myself on fire. My entire body was engulfed in flames. I remember telling myself that the pain will end soon, that once I'm dead it won't hurt any longer. Exactly 3 and half minutes later, I blacked out, only to awaken in my house. At this point I knew I was dead where I spent the next three weeks trying to communicate to my wife and children. It was a very uneasy feeling not being able to talk to them, not being able to be seen or to get any kind of feedback from them. Towards the end of the dream, before I awoke, I found that if I got close enough to my wife and whispered to her, she was able to hear me. I even managed to move her hair with my breath.
I woke up from the dream and immediately called out to my wife. She replied with, "What?" to which my reply was, "Just making sure you could hear me...."
A few things really disturb me about this dream.
1.) This is the second dream I have had where I die and find myself trying to communicate to the people around me.
2.) I was on fire and it hurt like hell.
3.) Having my loved ones so close but not being able to tell them how much they mean to me and that they are loved.
Pretty crazy stuff.....

Thread revival again.
Last night, I had a very weird dream.
For some reason, I were eating a soba at a soba restaurant thingy.
Then I went out for some walk, and things went strange.
While it was sane when I went to take a look at a mansion nearby, it got insaner when I tried to go back to the restaurant using a different way.
I found myself in a place that people called it as "Gakken-Toshi", still attempting to go back to the restaurant which I thought that it is in a shopping mall, then I got found myself in a platform of a station.
I still tried to go back to the restaurant, before finding myself in a underground place with illegal drugs, sexual things and such stuffs in a short walk for some reason.
Apparently there was a family there for unknown reason.
I tried to go up to the main mall by trying to go upstairs, but there was no stair going up, instead going down to a more underground-y place.
I tried to go up to the main mall again, this time using a elevator. The said elevator had a place to people to hide so they can kiss.
The elevator went up, but refused to open the door when I wanted it to.
That was my dream.
Some things that was not necessary relevant to my dream, but has appeared in it:
1). There is a soba restaurant with Kenta himself working in it.
2). There was a train in the station that had a seat in both inside and outside.
3). There was a homosexual couple kissing in the elevator.
4). I found one of my fingers inside my ear after I woke up. I remember that I put a finger inside my ear to make myself unable to hear the sounds made when the homosexual couple was kissing in my dreams.
After the real dream, I started daydreaming.
I remember that the door opened, but I don't know what happened after it.

I had a dream last night about a crush that I had in elementary school.
So, yeah. I liked this girl with immense passion in elementary school and in the dream I had read a Facebook post saying that she got somehow sick and needed a liver transplant. I then flew to where she was currently living and asked if I could do the transplant. I did this skipping my classes and canceling the rest of my semester. Before the operation I told the doctors and her parents not to tell it was me because I was generally nervous to talk about it to her post operation because I haven't held a conversation with her since middleschool.. I wrote her a small note and told her parents to say that "I went to your elementary school, and I want you to be better because I was scared knowing you weren't"
It was a weird ass dream and it certainly felt like it was happening (apart from the operation)
If that were to happen to her I would still cancel my finals and fly out to do the operation..

I have been having a strange series of dreams for the past month or so I would say. They all occur in the same place, but there are minor alterations every time. The dreams always take place at my cabin up north. The dreams started with everything looking fairly normal. First the basement changed. Then the shape of the lake changed. Then the barn changed dramatically. In one dream I was driving down the road and I arrived and everything was normal.
Another dream featured me walking around the lawn. This marked a significant change in my dreams of this place. Instead of the lighting being normal, it was fairly dark. In this dream, I am not sure whether it was just night time or it was cloudy. It was dark but I could see everything clearly. The deck of our house was also very different. Instead of being level with the main floor, it extended upwards. Another strange feature is that this is the first completely non-social dream. What I mean by that is though I saw people, they never talked to me. I saw my cousin just sitting at the top of the stairs. But he said nothing.
On Friday night, the dream was markedly very different. I am actually quite worried of what it may mean. Instead of being able to view the lake, all I could see instead was darkness. The sky was also completely black, but I could see everything around as if it were daylight with the sun high in the sky. As I enter our cabin, the layout inside is completely changed. As I walk up the stairs (which have been rotated 90 degrees), I find that the stairs and the loft have no railing. It would be easy to fall off and I take note of this while I'm dreaming. Then I realize that we now have a few rooms in the loft too, as opposed to the fact that in real life if is open. I see a bunch of people there. We are having a party. But as I get closer and begin to recognize some of the people, no one acknowledges me. I hear them talking but I don't say I word and they don't even seem to see me! And that is where the dream ends.
Can anyone offer up what this series of dreams may mean? Or maybe at least specifically what the last one could mean? It's sort of freaking me out.

Curious if any else has ever experienced the following.
The other night I fell asleep at about 9pm and was woken from a very strange dream sequence at about 12:30am.
I had a dream within a dream. In my primary dream I was dreaming that I was asleep and having a very troubling dream that was giving me the feeling that something was wrong, out of place. I awoke from the second dream, still inside of my primary dream, and that feeling of something not being right grew along with it. I was still asleep in my primary dream now, and it seemed as though I was exploring the possibilities of what was going on, trying to figure out what it was that was wrong or out of place. I then woke up from my primary dream fully to (reality?) and that feeling of wrongness was overpowering, and I was also now highly disoriented and confused as my consious mind tried to make sense of what had just occured.
I couldn't get back to sleep for a couple of hours after that and consequently I had a tired next day at work.
The whole experience has me troubled a bit. I'm left wondering at the cause for such an event? Was something troubling me to such an extent that my subconsious mind needed to sort it all out in this fashion? Was/is there a physiological condition responsible, such as maybe the combination of heart/blood pressure meds that I am currently on? Nothing I take is a psychotic drug, nor are any narcotics, but maybe they are having a cumulative effect overall? Am I sick or have an illness that could be responsible? I'm not letting this bother me much, but I did want to jot it all down here when I ran across this thread again. It got me thinking along other lines.
I have never experienced this type of dream prior to this event. And I can honestly say that I do not want to ever experience it again.
Any thoughts or insights are welcome. But please, no matrix references. I didn't post any of this as joke material. Thanks.
