Vivid dreams



I had two dreams last night.

Strangely, both were vivid. In fact, I find it weird that I can recall both.

Act 1: I was playing futsal with 3 close friends (Yap, Ranga, Vicky). I think it was Ranga and me versus the other two. We were running around this empty room with a table placed in the middle. On top of the table was a big vase. At some points, we were kicking a pillow around. Next thing I know, I'm in a toilet looking at the mirror. My teeth looks funny. That's because I've lost my 3 front teeth. I keep them in my pocket.

Act 2: I am dropping my boss home. The automatic gate is tiny and gives the impression that the house is very small. His automatic gate opens up. Next thing I see is lush greenery, and hillocks on both sides of the gate. A classic car is parked at the top of each hillock. There must have been many of them. They're all white, and shiny. But strangely, each car looks like an ambulance. They've all got those big giant red beacons on their roof.

Yes, I was late for work today.

Did you have a vivid dream too?

Hahahaha! Funny dreams, Praveen. If dreams were indication of our inner emotions, what do you think those dreams were trying to tell you?

I sometimes remember dreams as well... sometimes they just seem so real I woke up wondering if they were? Hah!

I distinctly remember this one dream that I had. Why do i remember it? Because it actually woke me up in a cold sweat.

The dream was that I had a rare condition with my teeth - they were GROWING uncontrollably. Now, close your eyes for awhile and imagine that feeling. Now you know why I woke up in a cold sweat.

@tsulin: I think my dreams were in relation to what I may have experienced recently, or things that have stuck in my head all these years.

e.g. Playing futsal, kicking a pillow, and the odd vase: I recall doing this as a kid. One day, (back in the 80s) my brother and I were playing futsal (with a pillow). I was goalie, while he was taking a penalty. All this right in our living room, in the afternoon (after school), and while our mom was away at work. He kicked it, I missed the catch, and the pillow knocked the big porcelain vase. I caught the vase just before it hit the ground. Phew.

And to think that people actually study these things (dreams) in uni - the human mind is an amazing "machine"!

@ranga: did it grow vertically OR horizontally? The gruesomeness would vary, hah hah!

HAHAHA!

I have weird dreams too. The other day, I had this dream about someone who broke into my house via the toilet windows. Mind you, the toilet window is a small vent.

Last night, Ally was telling me a story but I couldn't hear what she was saying.

Don't you always dream about what you're afraid of? In that case:
Act 1: You are afraid Yap, Ranga and Vicky will cause you to lose your teeth???

This vivid dreaming thing happens to me most when i snooze. My snoozing "regime" means i set 2 alarms 1 hour apart from my wake-up time, with smaller 5 minutes mini-"snooze"s ... Har Har - i always have difficulty remembering my dreams though. But i know of some who dreams and remember every single night. not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.
