Kevin's Watch

I wish I could remember now. It would be funny if I recalled the debate.

I had a dream about watching daytime TV. The horror...

ask danlo about Esmer TV!


I have trouble remembering my dreams too most of the time LM....if I don't concentrate immediately and furiously almost they just slip away....I end up with just a bunch of scraps from different ones that make no sense whatever....some good ones, too.....

I've had dreams recently involving someone who's friendship I lost when my fiance and I broke up. (I also recently found out that he did purpously cut me out of his life as opposed to us just drifting apart, like I thought we had.)

In the first dream I was traveling to his house to steal a girl away who lived there because I needed to talk to her and he wouldn't let me. This morning I dreamt that we lived together and he walked in the room while I was cuddling with some guy I don't know. (I suppose in the dream I knew him.)

Anyone want to tell me what they mean?

A few weeks ago, I dreamed an entire science fiction story. Well, almost entire; I was disturbed and thus awoken before it got to the end. When I got chance a couple of days later, I typed out everything I could remember about it. It was the first time, as far as I can recall, that I've had a dream of a coherent narrative, with comprehensive background and setting, and full continuity. It was like watching a film, but in the first person.

That's what I heard. Apparently if you keep a dream diary (recording your dreams down as soon as you wake up) you eventually become so skilled in recalling dreams you don't need the diary.

I've had one of those, too Cov! Just one, that I remember. Way back in middle school. I wrote it all down, and I still remember everything about it Those are fun.

emotional revenge Wadds?



I invariably fall asleep when I read, and invariably end up reading entire chapters sometimes that I can never recall what was about, heh.

Some say there's much more to it than that even, LM....something about living a seperate life almost.....

Probably, Es. He was someone I liked and respected a lot as a friend. I mean, a LOT. He is easily the most entertaining person I've met in my life. And I'm pretty bitter and hurt that he felt the need to take sides after the break up. /sigh...

But where to start? I wake up blank. Nothing.

actually, the best place to start is when you're falling asleep. Try to follow yourself in and be aware of the point you start dreaming. Convincing yourself you want to remember them when you wake up is another tip. Lucid dreaming is huge on the net, search around a little.....Carlos Castaneda has some unique views on this as well....

Once again, how? I can't think, in a dream, of how I want to remember it--because I pretty much never am aware of dreaming or of having dreamt. When I say blank, I mean it.
And getting to sleep? Gah. Takes long enough that I wouldn't go making it harder by thinking too much. Thinking just keeps me awake.

well, Murrin, you have to really really want to naturally.....and that is my problem exactly, I love to sleep so much that getting to sleep is more important than dreaming so much I just give up and fade out. It takes an excruciating amount of will and effort to do this, to even want to do it, but thats it really. Just do it. Simple. heh.

Maybe my dream was a premonition about a debate on dreaming!

These days I have mainly been dreaming of cigarettes.

And more cigarettes.

And then sometimes some VERY poorly disguised other dreams that are actually about cigarettes.

But mainly just cigarettes.

I assume you have recently quit. Stick with it SM!!

I have at least one naughty dream per week...sometimes two or three!

I assume you have recently quit. Stick with it SM!!

14 hours shy of one whole month. It is not getting ANY easier!

Oddly enough, quitting cigarettes was ridiculously easy.

But I had an unbelievably vivid dream 2 nights ago about a pint of Guinness.
