I had this thought last night to start this thread; I don't know how it will take off, but I had to tell y'all about this dream that a friend of mine had: My friend, Eric, had a dream about Starsky & Hutch. (The TV series, not the movie). He dreamt that Starsky & Hutch were gay, and Tom Selleck was gay as well and wanting to break up Starsky & Hutch! What kind of a dream is that, and what could it possibly mean?! Eric is definitely not gay, and here he is having a dream that about the Tom Selleck / Starsky & Hutch love triangle! So, I was wondering if anybody else had some weird and wacky dream stories to tell....

A couple of months ago, I dreamt I was in a Hawaii Five-O episode, but it was "real"..... I gained incredible sympathy for all of those people I had seen on the run for their lives from the syndicate (ie, mob). It sux!!!

Let me start by saying that what people dream is very interesting...although I am not sure that I buy into all the "dream interpretations"- I just liking hearing about them. When my sons were small I would ask them at breakfast each day to tell me what they dreamed because their dreams were the BEST! Keep in mind that they were very apt at story telling and seldom left out details like I am sure to do, but a few of the more memorable were: 1. My youngest son dreamed that he was a "Drawn boy". He was in a forest filled with cartoon trees and clouds, a cartoon house, complete with drawn smoke coming from the chimney, and lots of cartoon animals that could talk, and he was the only person, but he, too, was a cartoon. He said that it looked like him, and was wearing his cloths (drawn, of course) and he had a cape and could fly, but that he was a cartoon (drawn) boy. It seems that even during the dream he was wondering how he had gotten "drawn" and kept asking different animals who would each send him to see another animal who might know how he had been transformed to a cartoon boy. 2. My son was in first grade and head over heels in love with Christina. Apparently Christina couldn't have cared less about him. His dream was that he and Christina lived in this big cave, and that they were like the king and queen of the cave. The cave had a river that went down the middle and although he does not know why, he was not supposed to touch or cross the water in the river. At the very back of the cave was where they sat. And they had a throne of sorts...Christina had a lovely plush queen like chair with gold and jewels, and my son had, sitting right next to her...a shopping cart!! (I still laugh when I think how disappointed he sounded at telling me this) He had to climb up and and put his feet through and sit in the child part everytime and the plastic seat part was cracked and pinched his thighs when he slid into a seated position and it really did not seem fair to him. But no matter how much he tried Christina would not let him sit in hers. So in the dream he gets fed up and runs as fast as he can and jumps into the river, and music sounds and all of a sudden his shopping cart is also gold and has jewels so he is happy, too. (I never have had the heart to point out that it was still just a cart).

Many years ago when I first left home to go to college, I began to have a recurring dream. My sister and I would be playing happily when along my mother would come and herd us into the house and then to our room. She would whisper, "Shhhh, be very quiet and I'll read you a story." Every time I would have that dream, I'd wake feeling unsettled, even afraid. Finally, it was Christmas break and I had the chance to tell my mother about this crazy dream of mine. She started to laugh and explained that every time she could see the Fuller Brush man coming down the road...you guessed it! She was just trying to avoid the door-to-door salesman. Funny how children perceive things and how it can affect them even in adulthood. I'm so glad that I asked her. No more "Shhh...be quiet" dreams after that.

Wow--these are cool stories! I don't recall having any recurring dreams per se. I have however, dreamt that I was in a particular situation and known it was a dream, and so I would do something in the dream that I normally wouldn't do in real life, because it was a dream and there would be no consequences. So, in a way, I was able to maneuver what I did in my dream. For example, I had this dream I was in the clothing section of a department store and all of a sudden felt extremely sleepy. I was sooooo tired, that I wanted to do was lay down. So I figured "What the heck? It's a dream, I'll just crash right here in the store!" And I did, and then I have no memory of anything happening next. That's happened on more than one occasion, but different situations every time.

I've had a recurring dream where I float all over my relative's homes. It's really weird because I can literally feel myself floating, and landing back on the ground, but if I wanted to go anywhere I floated to it. I love having that dream because in it I have great conversations about my life now with my grandparents - both of whom are gone, and I wake up feeling happy and refreshed.

One recurring dream that I always had when I was about 10 or 11 always started out the same way. My sister, who is 7 yrs older than me, and a friend would be downstairs in the basement just hanging out but they didn't want me around so they would distract me and go upstairs. I would be left downstairs alone to turn off the lights and run up the steps in the dark. ALWAYS at the top of the stairs behind the door I knew someone would be there to "get me" and her name was always "Ann". I would get to the top of the stairs, really scared and say "hi Ann", thinking she wouldnt get me and then I would wake up scared to death. I few years ago at a family get together I was introduced to my cousin Ann and was told the story about how when I was 2 years old she was trying to carry me down the steps and fell with me in her arms and went all the way down. If I would have told my mom about the dream I would have known the story, and I'm sure the dreams would have went away.

I have dreams about my sister and my mother-in-law (who both died in the past few years). Sometimes, they are dreams where just everyday stuff is going on, but 1 or both of them is there along with everyone else. Other times, I dream that we discover they aren't really dead and there is always some goofy explanation for it. (and these started coming before I started watching soaps again!) And then other times, they die all over again. I don't mind any of them though... I just consider it a little "visitation" from Heaven! It's nice to see them again, even if it is in my dreams.

I have heard that when you dream about dead people they are actually visiting you from beyond. So whenever I do I wake up and thank them for the visit.

This is so neat!!! I seldom dream really, or rather I rarely dream anything that I remember vividly. I do however have 2 recurring dreams. The first one I've had as long as I can remember. I'm in a summer house that belonged to my Uncle. They lived in Miami but would come and stay at their house in central Florida where we lived quite a bit. I would spend the night there quite often when they were in town and had the best times. In my dream I'm there, but there's an extra bedroom in the dream and it's sort of down stairs like in a basement. (We don't have basements here normally.) From this bedroom there is a secret door that leads to a whole other house almost which resembles my grandmothers old 2 room log cabin that was in Miami. The second dream is one of me...on a second floor of a building. As I look out the window a Tornado is heading directly towards me, then at the last second...it hangs a sharp left or right just in time to avoid the building. My favorite dreams are the ones that my parents are in. The last one I had my mom took me shopping and Dad was golfing with my DH. Really cool they never knew my DH.(It's been over 27 years since they passed on.) I wake up feeling happy to have seen them and yet sad that it was just a dream.

(((RG))) It really is. They look exactly how they looked then and Mom is usually dressed in her fishing clothes and "Grasshopper" boat shoes.

LOL Lost! Your dreams are really VIVID, huh? Mine are pretty realistic too, and sometimes I'm not really sure if they aren't real. I dreamed I found a bunch of money once and when I woke up it took me a bit to realize it was only a dream... dang!
