What type of dream do you have the most?

[mvd]

Mostly anxiety dreams for me. Often, I go back to high school or college in these anxiety dreams. I think my subconscious does this so I have better things to compare to when I wake up. :-)

1. I keep having an anxiety dream...

in which I have missed my last semester of my doctorate, and there is now no way that my advisor will let me graduate, and she's turning my committee against me. I got my doctorate 7 years ago and I still have this dream.

4. Oh no. The "Naked at School" dream, a variation of yours.

It's finals time and I can't find the book or paper or pencil or even the classroom. No one will answer my questions. It seems I may not have been attending regularly at all. I'm late. The test is stuff I have never seen before. I don't recognize the instructor, but my classmates are looking at me as though...

I'm naked. Not all the way, in some dreams. If I'm lucky, I just forgot to put on a shirt. I sure wish someone would have mentioned it to me on the way to my test.

This is small shit, compared to yours. What a relief to wake up.

Could I have a dream about sexual congress with a transient inter-galactic being tonight instead? Please?

12. Sweet dreams...

of my husband. Can't help it but even after 18 years together I still dream of him.

2. I have anxiety dreams, too.

But much more often I have good dreams. Often times I'll wake my partner (and sometimes even myself) because I'm laughing so hard. I love those dreams.

The anxiety dreams suck suck suck!

3. Other

I dream i'm an abstract n-dimensional tessellation a lot.

5. I've been having an unusually large amount of good dreams lately

7. Usually a Twin Peaks style of dream

8. Transportion accidents

Mostly airplane crashes but also trains, cars, and even boats.

Sometimes I'm a passenger but mostly I am an observer. They range from minor to full blown disaster and I am never alarmed, worried, or concerned. Merely curious like, "Look, those planes collided. See the bodies?"

At least once or twice a week since I was 12. It's really very odd.

9. Mine are always airplane accidents

And I'm always on the plane. The airplane is taking off, hesitates, and begins to drop. I began to be afraid of flying only a few years ago when I left Alaska, and have had one scary experience when the dreams began.

I was leaving San Fran & my brother. The turbulence was terrible, and the lights went out in the cabin. You know how the staff is supposed to say, "Your Captain requests that everyone return to his/her seat". This one yelled over the intercom, "EVERYONE get in your seat NOW and fasten your seatbelts!" We dropped about 100 feet, too.

13. The only close calls I've been in that worried me

were two different aborted landings.

One was when I first began to travel. We were close to landing when suddenly we throttled up and took off. I turned to the guy next to me and asked, "does this happen often?"

Apparently, it doesn't.

14. The girl who was sitting next to me

all evening & giving me the shit-eye suddenly GRABBED me like I was going to save her life, and clung on to me.

10. I have a variety of dreams

My latest memorable dream was rather a bit of a nightmare.
I dreamed that I was having a safety committee meeting at work (I am on the safety committee). The human resources person said that management had a great idea for increasing the safety at the plant: weekly drug tests, which would be blood tests. Everyone else thought it would be a great idea. When I voiced concern that myself and others hated blood being drawn, they made fun of me for being such a wimp and letting my own fears prevent me from supporting something that was good for the company.
I guess that like this dream, most of my dreams are weird because they are a combination of things that I have been thinking about.

11. Combat dreams

I almost always have them and I don't know why. Does anyone know what they mean? I'm usually outnumbered and have someone to protect which slows me down. I'm often in a large house or building with lots of rooms and there's much running from room to room, with the knowledge that the bad guys are close behind.

They're actually a lot of fun but tiring - I wake up more tired than I was when I went to bed.

15. I'm an anxious person, so thankfully I have neutral dreams.

They are oftentimes quite surreal, but the plot lines are mundane.

16. The ones I remember

are usually anxiety dreams. I'm lost and can't find my way home (or wherever I want to get to), or else I'm in school and I haven't been to class all year or studied for the big test. I don't usually remember my dreams, though. For all I know, I have a lot of pleasant dreams.

17. I usually can't remember them

but those that I do remember make absolutely no sense.

18. My recurring dreams are "the tooth dream" and the "going back to school"

dream.

In the tooth dream, I lose my teeth, either by slamming into something hard, or because they break, crumble, and/or disintegrate in my mouth and I'm spitting out pieces of teeth.

In the going back to school dream, I go back to school with the best of intentions, always starting out well-organized and well-prepared. Invariably something happens - I can't find a classroom, I can't get my locker open, I lose my schedule, I get lost, or some such. Often the dream will skip to the middle or the end of a semester and I will finally make it to the class I kept missing (usually math) and I will be lost as I try to pass the class so I can graduate.

I'd say those are both anxiety dreams.

19. Freud would love this thread

It's always me or something else falling. I get freaked out because, if it's me, I don't want to fall (of course) but if it's some other object, I'm trying to stop it from falling and breaking. Sometimes I yell out in my sleep. I actually talk quite a bit when I'm stressed.
