What wierd, random things have you done in dreams?
I had a dream last night, that I was running from someone, and hid in the public library. Out of nowhere, I started trying to open the bottom of a yogurt container :wtf: It was very, very random.

1. I miss my flying dreams.
I don't smoke pot any more so they are hard to come by now.

Whenever I run from something in my dreams my legs get really heavy and I can't get away.

Whenever I get shot or stabbed it doesn't hurt but I wake up with all my mussels clinched.

My really wierd ones I tend to forget soon after, but I always have this thought of what the fuck was that about.

5. Ha!
I guess my dreams can be explained only by the number of Leonard Cohen albums I've listened to. :rofl:

8. That guy has his COOL thing going on.
Can't down a class act. It's like I always say, if you are not great looking, have great class. Women love it. He reminds me of a white Barry White

:smoke:

9. Looks ain't everything, for sure.
I think men like Cohen do alright with women because they're smart, kind, have a self-effacing kind of confidence, and they genuinely enjoy the company of women. I mean, this guy's nearly 73 years old and still just :wow:

Okay, that's enough of my Leonard Cohen fandom for now. It's noon here and there are weeds waiting in the garden for me. Sweet dreams! :hi:

11. This morning I started to go up a 1400 storey building in Australia
(which doesn't exist) and the elevator was plexiglass, with a plexiglass floor. I remember being curled up on the floor before I woke up.

:scared:

12. I once walked from the bedroom to the family room
Because I had a dream that Kevin Rudd, then the Shadow Foreign Minister and now the Opposition Leader, was going to speak at my university. That's how passionate I was and still am about Rudd -I guess the message reached my subconscious mind as well!

14. What's weird is that you can't scream normally, only faintly
When you scream while you're deaming, it comes out as just a whispered or faint scream, as if you were demonstrating in a conversation that someone screamed but you weren't demonstrating it at full volume, just simulating it. Movies that show people screaming in bed while they are dreaming are wrong. You only make a small sound.

I had a dream that four or five cats came running down the hall scared. I actually only have 1 cat, but there were 4 or 5 in this dream. I got up in the dream to see what scared them, and when I came around the corner, my late grandmother, who lived in this house for about 42 years, came floating around the other corner towards me, without moving much, just like one of those cheap carnival haunted house rides where something is mechanically moved towards you. When I saw that I screamed in the dream, but my Mom heard it (she was awake) and she laughed, saying I screamed like a miniature toy doll or something.

I had another dream that one of the debates between Gore and Bush was held in my bedroom. I was allowed to stay in bed, but they seated several hefty audience members around me so that I wouldn't be seen on camera. For some reason Bush kept floating up to the ceiling, so they put some kind of red shoes on him that stuck to the floor.

15. Last night I dreamt I turned into my cousin and rode a bull then
fought some guy who tried to kill me, knocked him into a lake and he was eaten by an alligator.

I have actually ridden bulls before. The other stuff was new to me though. :)

17. I'm frequently naked but no one notices or cares.
But my no. 1 recurring dream is the one of walking in to take a college algebra final only to realize I had not attended class once. i have that dream 3 or 4 times a year, and I've been out of college since 1974.

20. I have that dream too
I'm sitting there in the middle of taking the final and you walk in, and say "Wait! I've never been to this class!"

21. Yep, sounds familiar to me too
I can remember waking up to a dream like that once, and it took me a few minutes to realize it was a dream.

22. I don't know why I find that so funny.
Once I decided to sneak out of bed and sleep on a cafeteria table that was connected to my house. >_<

23. Once I dreamed that I murdered someone...
I think that was the worst dream I've ever hd. I woke up with this horrible feeling of guilt; and it stuck with me for a good part of the day, even though I knew it was just a dream.

24. Yesterday
I had one of the more messed-up dreams I'd had in a while. In it, I was (for reasons I didn't know or at least can't remember now) trapped in a house that was supposedly my parent's house but looked nothing like my parent's house. It was some vast nineteenth century mansion with spiral staircases and all the works. For whatever reason, though, the fact that it was allegedly my parent's house but looked nothing like it and I was trapped in there by myself was utterly terrifying. I was screaming repeatedly (it was very loud in the dream, but silent in real life- though I was trying to scream as loud as I could) and spent what felt like an eternity (thought probably more like ten-fifteen seconds in real life) in that weird state where you're trying to wake up and trying to move and you can't do either. Those kind of dreams only seem to happen to me if I'm exhaused and had fallen asleep on my back. Also weird dreams seem to happen more often to me if I take a nap in the afternoon, which was also the case with this one.
