Dream Logic

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

You know how sometimes when you're in the middle of a dream you get this sudden flash of insight into what's going on and why everything around you is behaving the way it is, and sometimes it's completely relevant to your waking life and completely changes how you see the world? This was not one of those.

"Oh! Of course the giant dogs hate me, because I'm dead!"

[Placid Dingo]

It frustrates the fuck out if me when I have a super intence vivid dream that would be a great story... Oh hey, that doesn't really make strong logical sense...

I often have situations saturated in emotion that isn't always normal to associate with the situation, which is challenging to express.

Ive documented some of my weirder dreams here (should get back to that actually). If you need some time to kill try hunting down the "half asleep" which is i think in or kill me.

I always get a kick out of them. I think one of my favorites was when i ended up in nazi germany and started messing with hitler.

I had another one years before i even came here where for some reason i decided to set off a nuke in downtown boston and then thought to myself that maybe that wasnt the best idea i ever had and spent the rest of the dream running from the fallout.

I still maintain that my elephant dream would make a most excellent movie. It's got everything; action, mystery, suspense, love interest, pathos...

Hearing about other peoples' dreams is really interesting.

No, really.

When I was in college, I woke up one morning convinced of a critical flaw in relativity, that if looked at properly, would allow faster than light travel.  It was so fucking obvious, I couldn't believe that nobody else had spotted it.  I wrote it down, and went back to sleep.

When I woke up, I grabbed the paper and read "Superglue raisins together".

It's so crazy, it just might work.

I tried.  I barely sped up at all.   

[Nephew Twiddleton]

thats awesome roger!

Also i think that you should write a letter in green ink about that and mail it to your local universitys physics department head.

[Slurrealist]

Very stupid question, but can emotions from dreams influence your waking consciousness state?

[P3nT4gR4m]

For me yes. Dunno how often, cos I mostly don't remember my dreams but I have on occasion had awesome dreams that I did remember and they left me buzzing for most of the day when I woke up. Never had one that put me on a downer before but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Ive had dreams that made me feel down for the first waking hour. Exgirlfriends have had dreams that made them angry at me even though they knew that was silly.

I have one reoccurring dream:
I'm sitting in a chair with a room full of loved ones telling me about their dreams. They list every excrutiating detail with emphasis on this aspect or that aspect to show me how important it was when the rainbow elephant peed on their face ans then they were in the desert being chased by large cats, they want me to know how CRITICAL this infotmation is. Straps hold me in place except for one hand holding a gun, but everytime i raise to my head to blow my brains out it just clicks. Then i wake up covered in sweat and my own filth screaming like a banshee.

What do you think it means?

Probably just a premonition of the future
