Well Freud would have you beilieve that the real reason is because the headmaster has unconscious longings for you and has projected these feelings onto you. He thinks if he doesn't do something radical involving cold water you're gonna jump him.

I had a dream about a big bucket with lots of cigars in it. The cigars jumped up, declared their love for me and then did a little dance.

I think the dancing means that I'm a control freak.

I've had totally whacked out dreams for the past three days now. I love it. I'd say dreaming is probably my favourite thing in the world. It's just a damn shame I don't remember them long enough. I know one involved a fight with my Ex but the details have all slipped away. I just remember they ruled!

I've dreamt about my bf three times in the past week and I never dream about nice things so I'm happy! He was even wearing a kilt in one {drools}

Remembering your dreams is something that comes with practise. I usually remember one dream a night but I never have the kind of dreams that other people have. Everyone else's dreams are usually surreal and cool. My friend said he dreamed I was a pregnant mermaid!! Actually, that isn't as cool now I think about it... :-/

I rarely remember my dreams Although, in one of the few I have remembered, four of my friends were pregnant

I dialed a wrong number when I was trying to call my dad the other day, and half an hour later a man with a scottish accent phoned back to ask who I was and why I rang. It was the most exciting thing to happen all day

And I was that man....

Not actually obviously, but it is a small world whatever people say ( what an odd expression given people DO say it's a small world. Ignore me, I'm double-drunk ). I once meant to phone my dad's office and by mistake phoned a girl that had dumped me a week and a half before. That was an awkward conversation.

You think? I find I can always remember the end and usually with effort extrapolate the middle but by the time I have a chance to get anything down on paper the beginning is always the memory of the memory - never more than the vaguest outlines.

Do you have any tips? Anything you've found that makes you dream more ( or at least, remember your dreams more ). I've found if I drink a lot of water before going to bed I tend to wake up in the middle of a dream - which makes it easier to recall - in order to go to the loo, but at the same time this ruins a night of sleep. Sometimes when I'm drunk and sleeping I sweat profusely and have a phantasmagoria of experiences all through the night. There's an old wives' tale about cheese doing the trick but I've never found that to work.

I take it you've tried the old one about keeping a notebook by your bed and writing in it right away, the second you wake up? There's forcibly reminding your subconcious to remember your dreams (just thinking "I will remember my dreams" whenever you can, particularly when you're going to sleep. It especially works if you attach it to a habit you have in waking life, like biting your nails or checking your watch). Reading about dreaming and lucid dreaming helps too, I think, if you're interested in it. I learned a study last year that showed that if you've gone for longer than usual without sleep, you go into "REM rebound" and that probably means dreaming for longer.

I've always been interested in lucid dreaming, but the best I've achieved so far is becoming aware enough to feel what you're doing, but I haven't managed to control them yet.

I suppose I am interested in a way but I'm interested in almost everything. It makes far more sense to me to use the interest in dreaming as a frame of referrence to find out what other people think. Um... as far as rebound thing goes, I used to only sleep every second day and I didn't really find I was dreaming more than I am now; less possibly. But then we only remember some of our dreams so I'd suggest that though the REM period is longer the actual memory retention of your dreams is much lower. Possibly because of changes to your neuro-chemistry, who knows.

AKAIK the most widely accepted theory is that what you dream is your brain getting rid of all the random junk it has accumulated in the level just above/below your short term memory. That's why you tend to dream in a loosely connected way about things you've been thinking about that day. If this was the case it would certainly explain the whole REM rebound thing you mentioned but perhaps a little distressingly it suggests that we're not SUPPOSED to be remembering dreams ( which is probably why it's so damn hard to ) any more than you should be letting bits of rubbish fall on your floor when you empty your bin - it's just going to have to go out with the next batch.

I dunno, just some thoughts.

According to him it's too cold for such a thing
