Vivid Dreams

Does everyone else here have really vivid dreams? I'm in my 40s. They haven't ceased. They're intricate and colourful and sometimes creepy and like an entire movie. There's always so many people! How is this possible?? How do I see all these intricacies and faces and these elaborate structures or interiors. Sometimes I wish I could convey them when I wake up because they're so vivid but... just out of reach. I used to log them years ago.

Do all autists think in pictures? Is this a particular marker of ASD or are these things which all Children experience which seem to fade with age.

  • Oddly! I was just thinking about this. For-sight, pre-cognition. I was off on a walk and have a rule I always stick to the envisioned route. I don't always take the same route, but typically have a think just on my way to the park or just before I walk back. Today I really had a think about this - the times where envisioned plans or actions appear to have a synchronicity to them. Perhaps it's these experiences that taught me to always stick to the plan. Could be ideals, or seeing something into reality, but sometimes it's much more than just a coincidence!
