How often do you dream?

[Nominus Experse]

This thread is about dreams, specifically how often you experience them.

Very often. When I sleep for a long time, I have a lot of dreams, very sporadic ones that shift often!

[qwertysaur]

you dream every night, only you forget those that are not in REM sleep. If you didn't, you would hallucinate when a conscious REM phase hit.

Then the question is how often do you dream during REM cycles?

About 5/7 times a week for me

I dream less than once a week. I used to have nightmares when I was young, but not much any more. It always seems to be when I get a decent amount of sleep after long periods of not sleeping properly, and when I have a lot on my mind.

I dream more when I sleep better. I didn't sleep very well last year but i've been sleeping a lot better this year so I've remembered a lot more of my dreams.

I had a dream this morning that was very long and involved, but I didn't remember it until just now when my uncle came over.

My dream involved me and the Joker driving around Russellville late at night and we stopped at a kroger to get some doughnuts and my uncle was working the cash register there, which is why seeing him prompted my memory xD

There was a lot more to it.

Usually I don't have nightmares a lot anymore, at least, not the terrifying ones I've had, but I have dreams that disturb or fill me with disquiet more often than that.

I dream almost every time I fall asleep, however the nightmare begins when I wake up.

Can't remember the last time I've had a nightmare, and I barely remember my dreams. All I know is that they consist of happy feelings that you can't achieve in the real world. I dunno it's weird.

I remember them about twice a week. They are usually very insane and awesome.

I've got an extremely active imagination in my waking hours and when I fall asleep it seems to go in to complete and utter overdrive and leaves me having many many dreams, most are what normal people would consider nightmares however for me it's just a dream. Apparently a lot of people have tell tall gives which allow them to conciously realise they are dreaming such as:

When I'm dreaming if I jump as in a running leap I can perform a matrix like leap which actually makes my stomach flutter with anticipation, unfortunately I don't always seem too good at controlling the landings of these dream jumps and remember once in a very vivid dream involving my real life friends and family and current real life events I leapt straight in to the front of the store I worked at, right in to a metal beam :embarassed: I knew I was dreaming but I still felt really stupid because of it.

I'm curious does anyone else have anything like this in their dreams when they need to try and realize they're dreaming or not?

Before this summer, I used to dream frequently, and even some were those freaky 'lucid dreams' too. However, since I've only been going to bed only when I just can't stay awake any longer instead of having a set bedtime, I'm generally too tired to remember my dreams. I usually remember 1-2 a week nowadays. I have nightmares approximately 50% of the time.

I keep having these dreams about Budd Dwyer

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I rarely remember my dreams. :/

For the first time this week I had a dream and I wasn't in it.

I dream quite often, a few times per week and my dreams might be the most bizarre out there. Some of my dreams predict the future as well. I write down some of my dreams and two of them actaully happened in real life. One was about the Ice grotto in DQVIII, I dreamed about the part where the icicles fell and the other was about the Leviathan level in FFXII. I dreamed of these things three years prior to when I actually played them. That's a bit weird.
