Lately I've been having dreams that just seem so real. I wake up and it feels like it really happened. It's so incredibly weird because sometimes I have to actually think about if whatever I dreamed about happened in real life or not. They drive me insane. Is there any feed back anyone can give me? Like, why they seem so unbelievable real or if you've ever had dreams like that? Anything at all, thanks.
9BigBrat6 answered Tuesday July 25 2006, 3:59 pm: ok so people here keep saying that you might be stressed or wutever but i dont know. i get that feeling alot. not just w/ dreams at night either, daydreams too. usually it's when i'm bored or something so i like start making up something that could happen and it continues in my dream. like i'm living in my head or something. maybe your subconcios is entertianing you w/ realistic dreams because nothing excitind is happening in real life. or maybe you are worried or something but i dont have experience in that. well hope i helped anyway [ 9BigBrat6's advice column | Ask 9BigBrat6 A Question ]
ScratchesOnTheWall answered Tuesday July 25 2006, 8:59 am: Yeah I get those occasionally, usually when I'm worrying about something a lot or I'm confused about a situation. It's like your mind can't think of anything else and is processing it on conscious and subconscious levels which are then bound to get mixed up since they're working on the same issue in different ways.
That's my experience of it anyway but there's a whole load of psychologists studying sleep and the brain at the moment because we know so little about it. If you want to explore your dreams on a more scientific level (to explain the whys and wherefores etc) start by searching False Memories and that should lead you in pretty much the right direction.

In the meantime, try to enjoy it. Think if it as your own private movie theater, with features showing nightly. Perhaps if you think about your dreams after you get up in the morning, consider what they might "mean", or even keep a dream journal, it will help you keep them seperate from reality.

I dont really think theres
a way to stop them. But just
try to think if it was real or not when you wake up. [ baachan's advice column | Ask baachan A Question ]
