I love dreaming. I look forward to sleep because of it.

I have been able to control maybe a few dreams, though they are very rare for me. The name of it, lucid dreaming, is where I got my name from.

LOL I'd be content with just Johnny Depp!

What you have to do is write down on a piece of paper what you want to dream about be as descriptive as you can. In your case perhaps a date with your dream guy.  Then keep thinking about this over and over duriong the day and before you go to bed. keep the piece of paper with your dream next to you when you sleep and let your fantasy unfold.
If it doesnt work  first time just try again.
Hope it works 

I can wake up and go back to the same dream with some mind control!

Weird dreams worry me for a couple of days.

When I was pregnant a baby boy kept popping up in my dreams and giving me advice about how to look after a baby!

Wow I've never heard of this before!

My dreams are always horrible, I've been shot 3 times now, met the devil, had my hair cut off and the obligatory naked at school dream.  It's pretty rare that I remember my dreams but when I do, they're nasty.

I'm going to try that planned dream thing.  Now I just need something decent to want to dream about.  Ugh, i'm complicated XD

I'd like to control my dreams. I doubt I can though, I rarely dream.
When I do, it's usually after a scary movie. Last night, my budgie was possessed so I stabbed him.
And then I have romantic dreams about people I hate.


I think they're hilarious. :>

your wrong about hardly ever dreaming, at your age yoou dream for 3-4 hours a night though its mainly processing your day there will be other things too, you just dont remember. read what i said to other bimbss about controlling your dreams because anyone is capable of it!
happy dreaming!

yes its lucid dreaming where your sort of half asleep and remember the dream so can sort of make up what happens.
dreams that you find weird always have a hidden meaning, just discover it. what does a baby boy mean to you? do you feel that you need advice? are you worrying abiut something that coul link to this?

I dreamt that my boyfriend was going to move away the first week back from my long vacation and we just sat there in tears...i woke up really worried lol

do you have inner worries about losing  your boyfriend or maybe this was a premonition. theyre dreams when you sort of see into the future thiugh i hope that it wasnt one   and any way the are very rare.

I only remember the best or the worst dreams I've had. That, or the just plain weird ones.

I once dreamed of my cat's death. And another time I dreamed of my boyfriend and I kissing after watching the play "Oklahoma" at my school. Which is the most randomest thing evar.

Ok I'm from the uk and I have WEIRD dreams. I find it REALLY STRANGE if I have a normal dream, cos it's so unusual for me!

If anyone can interpret some of my more memorable dreams, I'd find it interesting.

DREAM NO. 1:
I find myself semi-naked sitting on a forest floor with a huge gash in my stomach. I'm holding the wound together to stop my guts spilling out. Next thing I know I'm in a hospital that looks like it might be inside a spaceship. Everything is made of silver industrial metal and somethings have black and yellow hazard tape on. There are red flshing lights on some of the walls and I'm lying on my back on a metal operating area. My stomach is being stiched up by....the English queen mother!

DREAM 2:
It's night time I'm in a park, there are lots of trees and throught the park goes a tarmack road. Along this road walk robots, each carries a sword. They advance slowly and the park is absolutely silent. Then I see an image of one of the robots executing a child, abd there is a huge number too: indicating the number of humans left I think. Then the robot executes another child. I feel terrified and alone and scared and helpless. The slaughter continues until I wake up.

DREAM 3:
I'm in my local swimming pool. There is a giant diving beetle swimming up and down the pool. It over 8 feet long and about 6 feet wide. It's black. Next thing I know I'm in the communal showers at the pool, no one else is there,  and there are the beetle's long black legs layed out on floor in front of me...and I just KNOW that I've eaten the beetle!!!


My dreams are nearly always scary and weird!

CARCRASHbimbo, Dream No. 3 is extremely creepy.  Out of your list, #3 is the worst one for me!  Being stitched up by a Royal pensioner, no problem.  The impending doom of the robots of the apocalypse, fine!  But eating a bug! Dear God NOO!!!

That is how the brain seems to work, remembering the dreams that stand out because there are too many to remember. weird dreams always have meanings try to work them out with questoions about what was in your dreams and what you think about them.
the boyfriend dream is random but maybe you missed him or thought about him just before bed? and the play, what did you think of it? did you enjoy it maybe your brain was playing back a happy time?

well, the meaning of dreams is something bunch of psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists tried to resolve for many years.
within the school that places great value on dreams, there are many approaches to finding the psychological message of a dream, each reflecting different theoretical outlooks. a freudian will find one kind of meaning in a dream, while a jungian will find another, and a gestalt therapist will find still another meaning.
but the view that dreams have psychological meaning at all has come under strong attack from neuroscientists. most of them believe the contents of a dream are products of the rendom brain activity, which the higher brain centers (like cortex, hippocampus etc) try to weave into a coherent story. it's in our brain's nature to create stories from elements, in a waking state, or dreaming. so bunch of new theories support that the way the dreamer connects those elements gives them their meaning, not purely elements that occur.

and some dreams do repeat, as in my case. some theories are based on a belief that repeating themes in dreams are frequently linked to unresolved psychological stress. but many times the actual content of the dreams has no apparent link to the unresolved problem that is causing the dreams, or there may be some symbolic meaning to many of the components of the dreams.

the point is, it's not so easy to interpret them, find the meaning etc.
