Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Donuel Date: 07 Apr 24 - 06:45 AM Not the most important dream but the most vivid and remembered dream was when I was 24 and dreamt I met myself as an old man. It began with the astonishment of the old self saying "I don't know how you got here". The questions I had were not all answered and the subject of time was most important to the old man. He wore a white lab coat and the encounter was lengthy. Today I am a liberal for cultural progress in thinking with a future foundation that is conservative in the conservation of life on Earth. In my past, I bought into the live for today for a profit tomorrow paradime. Today I would advocate for working for our 7th generation. Not that 7 is a magic number but just to respect the reality that the future is much greater than the now. However now is all we have to effect the future. |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Black belt caterpillar wrestler Date: 07 Apr 24 - 03:12 PM As mentioned in another thread I keep my phone beside the bed with a voice recorder app on it as I keep waking up with a tune or even a snatch of a song in my head. They usually turn out to be rubbish once I have woken up properly, but occasionally not. Robin |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: DMcG Date: 08 Apr 24 - 05:47 AM Nothing to do with music but I had a nightmare a few days ago where I had to answer a question for something (a job interview? An exam? No idea.) The question was 'Draw a rectangle." Not, I guess, the stuff of most nightmares. But, you see, if it needed to be freehand, a rule and square would be banned. But, on the other hand, if the wanted it as accurately as possible they would be essential. Was the rectangle supposed to be the main thing, or was the appeal of it the important thing? So, for example, should it be as close to a mathematically thin line as possible, or should it be Grinling Gibbons ornate? One colour, or multiple colours? Flat or 3D? In my nightmare I had come up with hundreds of rectangles and know way of deciding what 'they' wanted. I remember nothing else about the dream, by the way. |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Donuel Date: 08 Apr 24 - 06:05 AM That sounds like a problem solving dilemma of unconscious proportions. or not |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: robomatic Date: 10 Apr 24 - 03:17 PM I had a dream long ago, but not long enough, that I was pawning Woody Allen's saxophone. Ostensibly, on his behalf I hasten to say. |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Dave the Gnome Date: 11 Apr 24 - 04:38 AM I dreamt the other night that aliens had overtaken the earth with some sort of energy field but it didn't affect Bruce Lee because he was using the Force and so were all the Doctor Whos!

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Bat Goddess Date: 14 Apr 24 - 01:42 PM I dream often of Tom (Mudcat's Curmudgeon). In some of the dreams he sings, and when he does, it's his pre-vocal cord cancer voice. His speaking voice (when he speaks in the dream) is also his pre-cancer voice. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Neil D Date: 23 Apr 24 - 06:09 AM I once dreamed that Barny Fife and Sherriff Taylor from the Andy Grffith show were helping me defuse an atomic bomb while hundreds of Chinese soldiers were advancing on us. I remember Barney saying "Golly, they sure are inscrutable." y wife and I call these pizza dreams. |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: The Sandman Date: 25 Apr 24 - 03:39 AM I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls With vassals and serfs at my side, And of all who assembled within those walls That I was the hope and the pride. I had riches all too great to count And a high ancestral name. But I also dreamt which pleased me most That you loved me still the same, That you loved me You loved me still the same, That you loved me You loved me still the same. I dreamt that suitors sought my hand, That knights upon bended knee And with vows no maidens heart could withstand, They pledged their faith to me. And I dreamt that one of that noble host Came forth my hand to claim. But I also dreamt which charmed me most That you loved me still the same That you loved me You loved me still the same, That you loved me You loved me still the same. |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Mr Red Date: 30 Apr 24 - 01:53 AM Most researchers on the subject of dreams seem to come up with variations on the theme that: "Dreams are the mind's processing of yesterday's transactions, and preparation for tomorrow". Nightmares are reckoned to be the result of a problem being solved, or not, and the difficulty thereof. The conundrum is that the references are oblique, wordplay, pun etc. eg a rectangle might be a house, a container, pugilism (as in box), or a corner that needs repair (wrecked angle - a pun)! Other personal references are available. FWIW I used to record my dreams but rarely got a solution out of them, and it took 2 hours a day trying to read/interpret scribble, written half asleep in the dark. The only dream I remember now predicted my divorce 3 years before it crept up on me. And I wasn't able to read the signs. They only became obvious a couple of years after divorce. |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: The Sandman Date: 30 Apr 24 - 04:54 AM Last night I had the strangest dream I ever dreamed before I dreamed the world had all agreed To put an end to war I dreamed I saw a mighty room The room was filled with men And the paper they were signing said They'd never fight again And when the papers all were signed And a million copies made They all joined hands and bowed their heads And grateful prayers were prayed And the people in the streets below Were dancing round and round And guns and swords and uniforms Were scattered on the ground Last night I had the strangest dream I ever dreamed before I dreamed the world had all agreed To put an end to war Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Ed Mccurdy |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Mo the caller Date: 06 May 24 - 03:11 PM I still remember a conversation in dream I had as a child. I was performing a ballet on the lawn "Maureen, I didn't know you could dance" "I can't, it's only a dream" |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Ebbie Date: 09 May 24 - 10:28 PM Not quite a nightmare but very unsettling all the same. I dreamt that we needed information that this one guy had, information that he refused to give. Not only did I agree to torture him but I was the active leader: I threatened him with a knife, which I eventually did NOT use, but I kept dunking his head into a bucket of water, letting him up only briefly for gasps for air. Brrrrr.... I woke up, shuddering. My take on this, slightly skewed: Anything common to the human condition cannot be alien to me. |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 May 24 - 10:02 AM I've been thinking it's time to see a dermatologist since I haven't been to one for a very long time. I must have had this was on my mind overnight when I dreamed a very large triangular shaped mole appeared on my inside elbow. I also remember examining myself for more moles and realizing I seemed to have an extra set of nipples. |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Stilly River Sage Date: 11 May 24 - 11:22 AM No, and I don't remember dreams very often, but I vaguely recall a dream about taking the dogs to the vet last night. (My blue heeler is missing a nipple because she developed a nasty case of mastitis and surgery left her minus the infected gland and nipple, if you tried to count hers while rubbing her soft tummy.) |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: robomatic Date: 11 May 24 - 05:31 PM One theme that repeats is that of being very high up over ground, usually in some rickety vehicle or lifting device which I'm barely able to control. The other thematic element which I can't understand is that I'm often 'surprised' in my dreams. How does that happen? That a mind is able to trigger a surprised reaction on itself. The obvious answer is that the unconscious is pulling one over on the conscious, but does that mean that one sleeps and the other does not? Or they sleep different? |
Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: BobL Date: 12 May 24 - 02:31 PM One theme that repeats is that of being very high up over ground In my nipperhood, if I was having a horrible lucid dream (i.e. I knew it was a dream), I found I could escape by an action such as jumping off a cliff, which invariably made me wake up. I'm glad to say this hasn't happened outside of a dream - so far. |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: Doug Chadwick Date: 13 May 24 - 04:01 AM I can't recall a dream to go with it but, a week or two ago, in the waking moments while I was putting on my dressing gown and slippers, I was really angry with the Royal Family - I've no idea why. DC |

Subject: RE: BS: peculiar dreams From: robomatic Date: 17 May 24 - 07:53 PM Thanks. I'll think that one over. Although I do Wordle every morning, I'm not aware of any 'hidden' revelations in order to do a solve. The New York Times has other puzzles, and the one that gets my serious attention is CONNECTIONS, which starts with a 4 x 4 of what appears to be random words. They need to be sorted into 4 groups of 4. Which I mostly can do, but by no means not everytime. This morning and yesterday morning, I was able to get 2 correct groups together, but not the remaining two.the When I'm staring at the group of words my conscious mind is not even befuddled. It's just sort of a 'DUH' moment. Then I see what might be a relationship worth pursuing. You get a total of four mistakes, the fourth mistake is 'bye-bye'. It does do one interesting thing. If you select four items and hit 'submit' if three of them go together there is a brief message that you are 'one away'. This can make thigs better. Or worse. |
