Do you dream? (or at least, do you remember your dreams)..
Do you have recurrent dreams?
Do you assign meaning to your dreams?
One recurrent dream I have is of being somewhere where I need to use a phone urgently and all the numbers I need aren't on it, so it's a very frustrating panicky situation.
Last night I dreamt I was trying to take a shower in someone's loft. Someone was already in there + came out so I stepped in but the shower curtain didn't fit and the water was going all over bags of belongings.
Then I found I didn't have a towel to dry myself.
Then I remember saying these words: do you think that all the organised people in the world who are trying to control their lives, who lead quiet lives, who like everything in order, who notice fine details and are careful in what they say and do are autistic and the rest are not?
In my dream I'd decided that half the world was autistic.
I have had a few, less than ten, lucid dreams in my life. Where I was aware that I was dreaming and could control the dream, a very pleasant way of dreaming, like being an all-powerful magician. Mostly I'm aware of dreams when I get really exasperated with an irritating or stupid dream and wake myself up, which I seem to be able to do.
I have bizarre dreams. In one I was stuck on a ledge halfway up the face of a huge dam - like the Hoover dam - but I knew that I was in France. I had to remember what the French was for 'help me!' Which I managed to do. I had a dream where, when sitting cross-legged on the floor, if you thought in a certain way about your buttocks you could levitate. I also had a dream where I was Charlemagne leading an army into Rome, delusions of grandeur!

You have reminded me.
I've had loads of dreams where I can fly
Lucid dreaming sounds interesting ....
I love, also, those dreams of flying hovering and visiting places. I always feel great after and like I had andventure.
those are my fav!
I think that's why I like my dreams so much and read them because it's escaping to a better place where the impossible is possible.
What could be better than that?
Sometimes I wish I could stay dreaming forever.
Yes, maybe it's escapism, as I really enjoy those dreams ...
I love dreams like that.
Flying in the sky, far away and high.
To the lands of fantasy, where nothing can hurt me.

I had a lot of flying dreams when I was a child. I remember one where I was flying around my school classroom, and perching on those fluorescent lights that hung from chains - like circus trapeze bars.
