Inn - vivid dreams that stay in my mind for a long time

62% Normal
10 Comments

Due to my sleep deprivation I occasionally go through elaborate and vivid dreams that I will think about for days on end. They're weird, random, creepy, and I frequently wonder as to what they mean. Is it normal that I'm so caught up in my dreams? Long story short there was one where I allowed this kid to die and I thought about it for ages because I found it creepy and actually felt guilt... that's just one of them.

    I'm pretty obsessed with my dreams too. Even to a point that I revolve a large portion of my waking life around them.

      How so? Just thinking about them?

        They effect me in quite a few ways besides thinking about them. I can give a few examples.

        Sometimes dreams can give me advice for what I should do in real life.

        I am a musician and write songs in my dreams that I will recreate when I wake up.

        I keep a dream journal and write down my dreams.

        I learn things from what I do while dreaming, just like I do when I am here.

        The only thing I don't seem to be able to do is bring items from my dreams back to here.

        I feel very in touch with my dream self. Many things I do in real life I do because I dreamed it.

        I use personas based off myself in dreams.

          Very interesting. I am the opposite; I would hate to associate myself with what I dream. It's what I am trying to shake off. However, the more I try to suppress certain thoughts, the more paradoxical it becomes.

            I feel no difference between my dreams and here.

    You think that dream is creepy? Feel lucky you haven't taken a stroll through my dreams.

      There's more, but I'd rather not dwell on them.

        Why not dwell? The horrid dreams are always the most interesting.

          Because my logic and emotions are not sufficiently separated in a way that presents me the will to dwell.
