Others have already mentioned lucid dreaming. It's not only cool because of the flying though, you can interact with these dreams in different ways because of it.

Try looking into this! It might be a good solution and you could get rid of them. Once you're aware that a dream is a dream and somebody tries to kill you, you can simply laugh at it, knowing you cannot die. Try facing it, ask your killers questions, etc.

I always seems to have these type of dreams most of the time:
I always seem to somehow getting lost where I'm suppose to be going
I forget to bring something to an important event (for example, forgetting ur passport at the airport)
I just forget what I"m suppose to do in the middle of doing something
and there r obviously some random dreams..

i hate these types of dreams
say cheese!...... NOT

Lucid Dream Guide - A guide I actually wrote about Lucid Dreaming a few months ago for those of you that are interested.

Yes, Lucid Dreaming is a pretty incredible experience. Basically a Lucid Dream is a dream in which the dreamer is aware that he is dreaming. While many people think of lucid dreams as a great way to have fun with things like flying, sex, exploration, adventure, etc; the practical side frequently isn't realized or ignored.

Lucid Dreams are extremely useful for things such as athletic practice, therapy, rehearsal, and even studying. Happy to answer any and all questions people have about Lucid Dreaming.

I think dreams are visual manifestations of emotions that you have. Maybe you haven't figured shit out on your own, but deep down you feel them. I don't really believe that dreams=reality. Maybe a coincidence, but that's just some supernatural BS.

btw, does anyone here NOT dream regularly? I seem to have about 5 dreams a year. It's not that I don't remember them, I just do not dream at all. I've been dreaming a little more in the last few years but before I never did it. It's probably not a good thing considering that studies show that dreaming is an important aspect of sleeping.

No, you don't remember them. Everyone dreams.

There are basically two aspects of sleep. The deeper stages of sleep which are thought to be for recovery of the body, and then REM sleep. Of the two, REM sleep (dream sleep) is far more crucial. When people were deprived of REM sleep they become irritable, unable to focus, start feeling weak, etc. If it progresses they become unable to stay awake and beginning relapsing into sleep, dropping almost immediately into REM. Without REM sleep we cannot function whatsoever.

A day dream isn't a dream though. I think we can all agree that day dreaming about flying is a significantly different experience than actually flying. And when it comes to things like athletic practice or rehearsal for a speech the vividness and realism is no where near the same (and in the case of athletic practice you don't send the nerve impulses to perform the activity when you are daydreaming).

Just did a little research based on what you said and I think you could be wrong according to this:

http://psychology.ucsc.edu/dreams/FAQ/index.html

In extreme cases of excessive dream recall, or no dream recall at all, there may be chemical imbalances at work. We think we know this because some medications lead people to report to physicians that they are remembering more dreams, and that the dreams are very vivid and realistic, and sometimes very scary.

In extreme cases of no recall, still another thing may be going on. These people may be dreaming very little or not at all. That probably sounds unlikely to most of you who heard growing up that everyone dreams at least during the four or five Rapid Eye Movement (REM) periods of the night. But the people who did that research in the 1950s and early 1960s may have jumped the gun a little because they hadn't studied the full range of people. Based on recent studies, including one using low recallers who were very low on visuospatial skills, it now seems probable again that some people don't dream.

Moreover, some people who suffer lesions in specific parts of the brain are known to lose their ability to dream for varying periods of time. These unusual cases show that it is possible to have the usual amount of REM sleep -- about 20-25% of the night -- and not dream. And to be mentally healthy without ever dreaming.


I don't know if there's a difference between seldom dreaming or not dreaming at all, but not being able to dream seems to indicate mental health issues. Knowing myself, that could very well be true.

Interesting stuff. Hadn't come across any newer research that indicates it. I guess what's key here isn't that people don't have REM sleep, which is crucial, but rather that some isolated individuals may not, or may not be capable of, dreaming during REM sleep. Makes me wonder though, especially since it mentions people with low visuospatial skills, what is happening in their REM sleep as we know the activity of the brain is very similar to waking life.

Looks like I'll have to go hunt down some of the newer literature and keep myself up to speed.

Out of pure curiosity what makes you confident you don't dream? Seems like it would be a difficult thing to verify outside of a laboratory setting or having someone consistently awaken you during REM sleep to see if you remembered a dream.

As for the bolded part, the psychology FAQ you posted seems to indicate the opposite, that people can be 100% mentally healthy even if they aren't currently able to experience dreams.

I just asked a lot of people and many tell me that they have dreams almost everynight. I on the other hand hardly ever. It might be due to my poor sleeping habits though. I always assumed that there was a correlation between my lack of dreaming and my personality.

Yea, but how do you know that you don't dream. Not remembering dreams and not dreaming would seem the exact same to the person in question. I'm just curious why you are confident its not a case of not remembering dreams.

And I think its unlikely that not dreaming, or even a lack of REM sleep would have an impact in overall personality.
