Talking of dreams

[Booldawg]

This has been happening to me over the last year or so; when I go to bed and the lights off, I'm still fully awake but can remember dreams from years ago, like 10 years or so. The dreams are not even ones that were that eventful. Once I'm in that state of mind dreams will just flow one after the other, mostly ones I've never recalled before. Does this happen to anyone else?

yeah i sometimes have dreams that i've had like ONCE absolutely years ago and i can remember dreams that i had like 10 years ago. I tend to have really wierd dreams though.

I get recourring dreams a bit too! its a bit freaky like deja vu! I'm fully asleep though! Maybe something in your life at the moment has triggered a memory from years ago?

I get a similar thing that's very hard to explain. I'll be having a dream, and then I'll almost become conscious in it as I realise that parts of the dream are referencing another dream that I might have had years ago. E.G. In my dream I might be walking down a street, and I'll recognise a house that I saw in a dream months previously, but have never seen in real life. It's a really spooky sense of deja vu

[EMS86]

Yeah thats what i'm like sometimes

Not had that but sometimes I have dreams where I'm actually up and getting dressed and ready for work. A part of me knows I'm asleep but because I'm going through the routine it really feels like I am awake and up. It's often really hard for me to drag myself up from those... in fact it's the reason I was late this morning!

[Booldawg]

ha ha I've had that china doll - its so confusing!

[China Doll]

Thank god for that! I only know of one other person who says he gets the same thing... It's so confusing. And annoying when you do eventually work it out and drag you butt out of bed!

[EMS86]

Yeah i get that aswell and i panic cos i'm late and i have to orientate myself slightly when i wake up cos i get all confused:-) Then of course i realise its still like 3am in the morning:-)

someone mentioned recurring dreams in earlier messge. How's this for spooky. I used to have a recurring dream as a child of my grandmothers house in darkness and this voice echoing outside saying it was going to get me. Years later whilst in the pub, I was talking to my sister who is 8 years older than me and she listened in horror as she announced she had the same recurring dream as me - oooh spooky or what and how does this happen?
