NO Dreams

Hi Friends!

What is the interpretation on not getting any dreams at all? Does one has to be a great dreamer before developing the ability of visualisation?

Looney.. it's also very possible that you are dreaming.. yet forgetting them shortly after you awake... or come closer to a conscious state.

I find that I remember my dreams better when I'm less tired. *eck* Sounds weird? For example, when I'm terribly sleepy and I'm literally falling into bed from exhaustion, then that's when I cannot recall a dream.

However, when I'm relaxed-- and I'm getting regular sleep, my dreams are more vivid, more realistic and I'm more likely to remember them once I awake.

Then what are dreams anyway? Just neurons in the brain firing off! Since we, as humans, must make "sense" of things-- we associate brain-wave activities with events, pictures, places, sounds and smells.

Everyone dream, but most of the time we don't recall it, there are tons of scientific stuff out there that explain why we dream, but no one can explain "how to dream" its more like a poem everyone can read and speak about poetry, but to make a poetry one must develop a sense for it.

Sure, with a trained mind and spirit everyone should be able to experience this wonderful part of the human.

Thanx friends,

I am a very sound sleeper. Could that be the reason for not remembering? Do we get dreams when we are close to waking up early in the morning? The closest I have been to dreaming is in a half sleep state when I am fully aware of the moveents around me. Usually it has happened while travelling. I am visualising soemthing & slowly the mind goes into playing soem senarios ..it is liek watchign TV & also being aware of what is happening in the next room.

Sound sleeping could be the very reason why you aren't remembering. I've become a very light sleeper in the past decade or so.. and I remember more of my dreams now, than I did when I was in my late teens/early 20s when I slept harder than a rock.

Also, when we are close to waking, I'm not sure we're still dreaming-- but maybe some sub-conscious perception our surroundings? I've fallen asleep with my TV on a few times- and sometimes what I thought was a dream, was really what was going on in the room.

Does anyone dream in color? I don't but was wondering if anyone did.

I remember very few dreams. But I'm a mama and sometimes I dream about something happening to one of the kids; it jerks me out of the bed sometimes.

I'm not sure if I'm dreaming in color- or making assumptions about color as I recall a dream. Is there a difference?

I'm native american,setting the alarm two hours before you normally wake up is the best way to remember dreams(dream journel native american reason)otherwise you won't unless it wakes you up.Don't remember if color makes a difference.

Strange friends very strange. I remember last night's dream! Kinda erie though. My dead friend visited me in my dream and made special efforts to greet me in the dreams. Does anybody has any idea what's the meaning of this? I am yet to recover from this as it is after a few years that I seem to remember a dream.

Found this while snooping around, neat topic!! I'm a junkie for this stuff 😄...

Loonybird!! Wow what a dream to remember! Now if you want to know what it means, that would depend. Which way of deciphering you would prefer there's a spiritual answer to that question, as well as a scientific... 🙂

Spiritually, that would have to be them trying to contact you, either to give you a message that they were okay etc.

Scientifically, you're having trouble with parting with that person.

Spiritually dreams are very powerful, cause think about it, that's the time you're not limiting yourself with reality, so lots and lots of things are possible... 🙂

Hi Looneybird,

That's some dream... feelings from both ends of the spectrum. The unpleasant idea of death and comforting idea of friendship. Storm's explanation sounds like the best interpretation that brings those two ideas together. But sometimes, in dreams, the things in them are just metaphors. A friend, does not signify "a friend", but perhaps it represents a feeling-- or an idea.

Anyway, I read from this source that to dream of the dead, means to dream of a warning.... I pulled this out of my handy-dandy book of 10,000 dream interpretations: "To dream of seeing the dead, living and happy, signifies that you are letting wrong influences into your life..... to dream that you are conversing with that person and they are trying to extract a promise from you.. warns of you of coming distress..."

I don't know how tangible that interpretation is, but I have had a similar dream. I remember a dream I had of my father, who passed away about 3 years ago. I remember there was someone at the door, trying to getting in. He was trying to remove the lock on my door- but when I opened my door, he would not come into my place. It was, at best, unsettling.

Looney, when I have dreams like that- I try to keep them in a journal. Not just of the dream, but some of the experiences afterwards. I don't keep up with it like I should, but it has helped when I try to recall dreams.

At any rate, here's the book: "10,000 Dream Interpreted: A Dictionary of Dreams" by Gustavus Hindman Miller.

Thanx a lot. Y'all motivated me to do some little research of my own. Here are the possible interpretations:

1)To see the dead in your dream, forewarns that you are being influenced by negative people and are hanging around the wrong crowd. You may suffer material loss.

2)This dream may also be a way for you to resolve your feelings with those who have passed on.

3)If you dream of a person who has died a long time ago, then it suggests that a current situation or relationship in you life resembles the quality of that deceased person. The dream may depict how you need to let this situation or relationship die and end it.

4)To see your dead sibling, relative, or friend in your dream, indicates that you miss them and are trying to relive your old experiences you had with them. In trying to keep up with the pace of your daily waking life, you dreams may serve as your only outlet in coping and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one.

This dead person was a old person from neighbourhood who passed away recently. So I wonder which of these interpretations apply to me.

people I know who don't dream much tend to lead very stable lives with little drama.


YAAAAY.. so itz a good thing i dont dream at all 🙂

"Shapiro also felt, from the experiments, that the person who does not remember dreams, may be one who deals with his problems by denying (forgetting) them"

Do You Dream - Tony Crisp

-this is very interesting!!! my aqua bf has only remembered one dream in the 2 1/2 years that we have been together. and this description definitely rings true for him...he does not know how to deal with the problems in his life, so he just ignores them and runs away from them.

and it's weird that the one dream that he did remember was of me having his baby!!!
