about dreams

I've had plenty of conversations with sleeping people before. They just never remember them when they wake up 🙁
I think the first time was when I slept over at my cousins house when I was small, and he was sleeping and he suddenly got up and told me he had this nightmare, and stuff, and then he laid down again. But, when he woke up in the morning, he didn't recall anything.

When I was living in the dorms in college, apparently I used to answer the phone in the middle of the night & have long conversations with whoever was calling. I remember none of it, but my roommate has no reason to lie about it. Wonder who the heck I was talking to, & what I said..? 🤣

Does anybody ever get sleep paralysis? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis
I get is sometimes and I feel like I can't move and someone is in my room and they gonna get me. When I sleep with my bedroom door open it happens every time. I'm usually dreaming and then suddenly snap awake, but then I can't move, and I can see someone standing there out of the corner of my eye. It's really scary, and I can't usually go back to sleep for a while after it happens. It happens to a lot of differnt people but no one knows why. 😲
Not sure if it's a dream or reality, but it bugs me none the less.
it happened to me once. just once. one time is creepy enough, i don't want to experience it again. but the person is not far from me, infact, he's standing right next to me. can't see the face(it looked like an alien with perfect round eyes) it's doing something to my hips and i can't do anything about it.can't more. i'm still freaking out about it

Mmm... it happened to me too. The most likely explanation is probably that we are still actually dreaming. Another possibility is sleeping in strange postures that press against certain nerves causing a temporary numbness to occur such as when you sleep on your arms and you wake up unable to move or feel them, although I'm not sure if there really is such a position. As for seeing someone, there, it's most likely the mind playing tricks such as when some people feel like they're being watched when no one's around. But, I guess it could also be aliens or ghosts or something. After all, there are still a lot of things we don't know about in this world

I've once experienced it, but it lasted only for a short time for I
closed my eyes and instantly went asleep again.

Mmm, there might be a hidden meaning to our dreams, I like to think there is. I don't always dream, but when I do it ends up turning into an interesting plot I twist when I'm half-awake, more aware of my surroundings. But then I forget part of the dream, so my imagination tries to fill the gap, in the process, tries to make it maybe, more interesting. In the end, it turns into an idea in the back of my head waiting to be released, but sometimes there are strange dreams I cannot explain.
I was in some strange volcano ruin, a temple was there somehow. I don't know why I was there. I never found out either. When I have nightmares, when I wake up in the middle of the night, my chest feels heavy. I never like the feeling when I get nightmares, and it could also be a sign. Dreams is really an interesting topic, unfortunately, I don't think I could contribute much to the topic, asides from what I stated up there. :3

I had a lot more dreams, when I was still a child.. Now, I rarely do have dreams.. Is it with anyone else the same..?

You dream every time you go to sleep Dr. Love, whether you remember them or not is a different story.

I found out that if I sleep and the moonlight drops on me while I sleep, especially during a full moon, I have really weird nights. Either I can't sleep properly or I have strange dreams all night.

I get strange, uncomfortable dreams when I get a fever. That's one of the ways I know when I'm getting sick.

Hey, who's the doctor here..? 😛
But I kinda disagree.. If you don't remember, you don't dream.. I do have times, when I'm positive that I had a dream, but only remember pieces of it, if that's what you mean..

Differences in personal opinion. Dr. Love says that if you don't remember the dream you don't technically dream. While Silent Xenocide means that we go through a couple of dream cycles every night doesn't matter if we remember it or not.

I also read something about that you only dream in that state when you're in the process of waking up..
Example: The whole time you slept it was dead quiet, but then in the morning you hear a loud sound just outside your room.. That sound triggered something in your brain and it was just not loud enough to wake you up entirely..
That's when the dream begins..
But when you become mature, you quickly wake up to the 'lightest' sound that's been made.. That's why when you grow older, you dream not as much as when you were young..
Also, most kids tend to sleep through everything.. Not babies, though.. So, they're frequency of having a dream becomes also much larger, because their process of waking up takes much longer...
Anyway, I can't explain this well.. but if at least one person understood me, then it was worth spending my time writing this.. 😀

Mmm... according to that, we usually forget what our dream was if we think of something else when we wake up or something interferes. For me, I seem to recall dreams better when I wake up a few moments before the alarm rings than when the alarm wakes me up.
I think that dreams still count even if you don't remember them, since people have sleepwalked/talked without remembering or woken up from nightmares that they also do not recall.
