Just got to wondering if I was the only one who seldom remembered what I dreamt the night before.

I wish I remembered them for longer than a minute. My dreams are like movies, in vivid color, and I wake up (usually to go to the bathroom) and think, wow, what a great dream, but in a little while, most of it is gone, except for some flashes of scenes. I recalled some dialogue from last night's: "She's hard saucie; that's saucie to the max."

I can go back to sleep immediately and continue the dream sometimes. I love that. I always go back to sleep very fast.

I haven't had a dream I could remember in years. I'm to the point where I don't think I dream at all.

Hi Zucchiniflower,
I have always vivid dreams, mostly pleasant which I partly remember when I wake. Some are repeated & some I can 'dream' myself into as the begining stays in my mind. My husband says I can sleep for England. I have no trouble nodding off & like you I can get up & then resume the dream.

Hi Angela, once (when I was using my vcr often), I was aware I was dreaming, and I rewound the dream and dreamt it again. It was so weird!

I don't dream of cities that exist; they're dream cities, sometimes European. I work in a lab, but when I dream of labs, they are dream labs. I don't know why I don't dream about my real lab and real towns. These dreamscapes recurr in my dreams. Airports and planes, too. Same with places where I live. The homes I invent in my dreams are very cool with many rooms and tons of closet space!

One time, a scary character from The Sopranos was in my lab building!

When I was a child I had a recurrent scary dream. Exactly the same every time.

a few minutes ago... I woke up from a dream.

the sky was purple, with fluorescent pink stars.

and I remember saying to myself... my husband's *never* going to believe THIS!

so, in my dream, (like you, ZF, I was aware that I was dreaming) I got up, went to my desk, got my little Nikon - I even remember unzipping the case, and slipping out my little digital Coolpix 4100...

I went back to bed, (and dream-sleep) re-entered the dream inside the dream, and took photographs of my dream-sky.

and I woke up humming:

Kodachrome...
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got my Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

CayoKay, that is too cool! Are you an artist? Your dream colors are divine!

Rick, I notice royal jelly has disappeared from your treatments. My husband is a bee farmer & he was sceptical about its efficacy. Apparently propolis is considered the main healer especially from our native bees (Apis mellifera). There is a chap in the USA who uses (venom from) live stings to ease arthritis.
Is there a particulr reason you have stopped taking it?

Yes, I remember my dreams - not every one, but many of them I remember well enough to tell at the breakfast table, and the really good ones I remember for years. I sleep wonderfully, and my dreams are fun and often very beautiful.
The best words I woke up remembering were, "And the parrot on the porch broke into gales of laughter". I wish I remembered that dream, but only the words remain.
My husband wakes me now and then because I seem to him to cry out and be afraid in my sleep, but more often than not I'm laughing in a dream, it just sounds like cries.

Just in case of discussion, I am going to reply seperately.
