Most of my dreams are "slow vehicle dreams" what ever I am driving or riding on it just has a hard time moving and it's like I am going to get run over. It could be a scooter, truck , tractor, car or anything with wheels. Weird!!! Also I have dreams of a job I had 20 years ago.

I'm a total insomniac and very rarely remember my dreams at all!!

Now I do remember when I was younger and the alarm radio would go off, I'd dream I was at a concert. Now I use a buzzer alarm!! LOL

Gottaluvit, that is an odd dream. However, slow is better than the world flying by... and making you feel like you have vertigo! :)

Melissa,
In fact, when I was younger one of my dreams inspired me to go ahead and write. Well, it won an award. Almost made it to the UIL competition, until they said it had to be by a published author. It nearly floored my Teacher that I was the one who wrote it!!!

Mik is right. Later, one of my Teachers told me that a lot of writers, producers and a few scientists actually discovered (or figured them out) while dreaming. Stephen King, the author of Frankenstein (that was inspired by Mary Shelley) having a nightmare, a lot of scientists for new discoveries. You really would be amazed - it is actually considered a creative talent.

Some dreams you can turn them around. Always remember my dreams (actually keep a sleep journal). Started this when I was a child. I go back and analyze the dream.

Actually Melissa, when the dream gets intense and it wakes me up, that is the time. Yes, some of the ones that are vivid, I started out writing what I could remember. Many times the dream occurs again. So, just remember that if you can refocus the outcome on the more intense ones it can help. Often what wakes us up is the intensity, vividness and some odd aspect of the dream. Here is something you can do too that helps. Remember a major aspect (symbol, color, location) if you can recall. Note if you dreamed it in color or did it start out in black and white, then only a particular object was a color. Note the color or what it was that scared you or haunted you.

I've had friends who have cheerful dreams, just weird aspects. Example: Driving a bright yellow corvette down an open road and then detour into a field of amazing flowers. They woke up only because they got to a bridge and the bridge was out or there was no bridge. Stuff like that or something zany. Dreams don't always have to be nightmares.

One of my best friends child used to wake up terrorified. He was afraid of the gigantic dinosaur that was going to stop out their house and everyone on the street. Well, I told him to take his flashlight and shine it when he woke up. Then told him to dream again, but this time He would be the Hero in the dream and rescue his house and the neighbors. It worked, he told me it helped him to turn his dream around.
