I am mind blown about the fact that some people dont dream in color?! So its black and white, like an old movie? Any people dont talk? Or have touch/ smell? I must know more about this! Tell me more about your dreams....
Color or B&W? Talk? Other senses? Dream about random ppl and places or ones you know? Any recurring dreams?
I dream In color Lots of talking. Lots of time Im trying to explain something or figure out a situation to someone who doesnt understand it I use my other senses too And usually about random ppl or celebrities or a person i knew a long time ago. Every now and again it will be current friend or family member.
I dont have a specific recurring dream but a theme. It usually goes - Me minding my own beeswax, stranger tries to hurt me, I run, they chase after me, I kill them. These are always very vivid and I wake up with a pounding heart and out of breath

I dream in color, and there's definitely dialogue. Not sure about other senses though off hand. I go through spells where I get frequent nightmares. In those dreams, something is usually coming after me, and I am paralyzed. I also begin to scream at the top of my lungs, but nobody (in my dream) can here me. DH has woken me up a number of times from these dreams because apparently I'll be making some weird noise in my sleep - like a half scream or something. It's happened so often, that most recently, when I had some nightmares, while I was doing my dream screaming, I was aware of just waiting for DH to wake me up, but I still couldn't stop screaming in the dream. It was so bizarre - luckily, he woke me up shortly

Another thing about dreams - I remember while I was pregnant I was CONSTANTLY having crazy vivid dreams in which I had a loose tooth and then lost it. Like, I'd wake up, and have to make sure I had all my teeth, or wake up thinking I had to go to the dentist because dammit, I lost a tooth. Turns out it can mean anxiety and/or a big change coming. As far as I know, I have kept all my teeth in my dreams since having DS. Anyone else have very pregnancy-specific dreams?

Yes to all of the dream questions except in another language. Also never occurred to me that people didn't dream in color. Last night my dream centered on a new house I was buying and what paint colors and remodeling changes I was making. Totally a work dream.
Fascinated by dreams! Mine are always pretty vivid & I always remember them clearly.
Colour? Yes Talking? Yes Other languages? Not so much anymore but I used to dream in German a lot. I tend to dream about places I know but not always people I know. I always find it strange my mind is creating these whole personalities as if they're friends ive had for years. I often wonder if they're real people somewhere [\quote]
I always wonder that too. Did my mind just create a brand new face from scratch? Is it someone I walked past in Target 3 months ago and my mind held on to that image? Fascinating

SITB?
I think I remember reading somewhere once that you always dream about people you have at least seen before and that your mind is unable to create brand new faces. I don't remember where I read this though, so grain of salt.

I dream vividly, but also usually dull. They're always in color. I've never dreamt in another language. They're typically a dream about someone I know doing some outlandish thing they probably wouldn't do in real life. I ALWAYS dream of my H having a girlfriend and acting like it's NBD (this has really never happened). My dreams often involve large bodies of water, too, which is random. I also had the dreams about my teeth falling out while pregnant, or, similarly, a diamond falling out of my wedding ring. Interestingly, often, when I'm in a really intense moment in a dream, I will realize I am in fact dreaming, so it doesn't really matter what happens. Since having DD, I constantly dream of her being kidnapped, which is terrifying.

Color or B&W? Color Talk? Yes Other senses? I don't remember about taste or smell, but definitely touch. Dream about random ppl and places or ones you know? Both Any recurring dreams? I often have dreams that I'm being chased, and it often involves me running down stairs. Except that, instead of running down the physical steps, I vault myself off the railing from floor to floor. Like Spiderman? lol I don't know.
Add any other interesting tid bits I have a lot of dreams that seem to in a way come true. 2 years ago I dreamt that I was on the back of H's scooter, and a bee stung me on my left shoulder. The next day, H and I and our friends went hiking and I bee randomly fell from the tree and stung me, on my left shoulder..
Also, people walking towards me when we were expecting them to drive up, then the next day get news that the car was stolen, etc etc.

I've just realised I didn't say anything about recurring dreams. All my recurring dreams are either nightmares, or they're about sex. I don't know what that says about my brain...

Kristykristyleelee I often dream of needing to get somewhere and not being able to get there, too. It usually revolves around needing to get to a college class on time and crazy things keep happening that prevent me from doing so (like having to drive through a cave full of bats). I feel like this comes from always feeling rushed.
In color with lots of talking. Music happens in my dreams but more so when it's concert season and there are more rehearsals. Sense of touch when I'm pregnant...mostly in the form of people trying to harm me. Almost always people and places I know but strange scenarios.
Right now I'm dreaming a lot about my dad which really sucks. I always remember those dreams and typically have an emotionally hard day after. Either I'm telling him to leave in the dream or he dies in the dream. Sorry to be sad and morbid. The dreams have been seriously fucking with my head. I also dream about DH leaving me for whatever reason. Then I wake up to make sure he's still sleeping next to me. Occasionally I'll wake him up. I guess I'm an insecure dreamer.

I have super vivid and super intense dreams. They are always in color and I have all 5 senses. Also I'm trilingual but they are always in English.
My dreams are always either about my brother and parents, or my uncle and aunt who kicked me out of the family.
With my brother and parents they always start out with them dead(they have all passed away) and they either come back to life or I found out they faked their death. They all end up dying again by the end of the dream. With my Aunt and Uncle, it's always me begging for forgiveness and is becoming a family again. I wake up crying from both type of dreams almost every night.
In my dreams everyone talks in a whisper. When people stop whispering is when someone is talking to me IRL or on the tv IRL and when I stop whispering in talking in my sleep. (Usually when I'm crying hysterically)
I also sleep walk and sleep eat. I have woken up on many occasions with bowls of cereal in my bed and half eaten sandwiches. It started when my mom got sick.
Usually lately I have been dreaming in color but silence, and mostly of people from my past that I haven't seen in a long time (like people from high school).

This is an interesting thread! I have very vivid dreams always in color with all senses. I can remember lots of details from them too.
My recurring dreams are usually anxiety or stress based. One is centered around driving up a steep hill and falling in to the back seat with no control over the car. Sometimes there are others in the car that take over. I HATE driving up hills now IRL...like I have a physical reaction. The other recurring is that I have to use the bathroom and it's always in a public restroom of some sort and I have no privacy. Like no stall door, people staring or waiting. IRL I can't pee with other people in the room.
I tend to wake up screaming when I have a nightmare and I have these dreams where I know something bad is going to happen or is happening and I can be mindful enough in my dream to wake myself up.
I think dreams are really interesting and are just another awesome facet of our complex brains.
