Poll of the Day > What are your dreams usually about?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'd say mine are random and new for the most part.

Other than that, the only repeating thing is that some people in my life end up in more dreams than others, even if we're no longer around one another anymore, but the events are new.
---

My aspirations and desires, as well as my inadequacies and failures.

Your mom.
---

Blackness.
I happily don't dream at all.
---

I have the awesomest dreams, although there's a lot of variety to narrow it down - I do often have superhero dreams.
---

My dreams are usually quite strange and for the most part bad so I do my best to make sure I don't remember.
---

Totally random, zero lucidity
---

I suspect the majority will be random or cannot recall! Dreams are cray, though.
---

Random things. Last night I dreamed I fell down the stairs. The night before I dreamed I was at Children's Hospital and the elevator doors had fun, kid like artwork on them.
---

Most of my dreams are about me dying in ridiculous ways. It's amusing.
---

Sort of a mish-mash of "don't normally recall dreams" and "mostly random, no pattern visible"
---

All of them are bad. For example:
-Me losing my stuff on a train.
-The entire world freezing over.
-The sun imploding.

I see what you did thar with the sex option

One time I had a nightmare that these big fucking spiders, think as big as housecats, were just hiding all over my house and constantly jumping out at me

What are your dreams usually about?

Farm ani-*gets shot*


---

Life's failures. Dead friends & family. High school-but-I'm-my-current-age.

Sometimes it's interesting and even pseudo-enlightening/philosophical, but mostly it's depressing.

In my younger years, my nightmares were more like... Getting chased by a pack of dogs. A group of adult bears attacks. I fall in between the cracks of an escalator. Lawnmower tries to kill me. Those were all individual dreams, not the same one.
---

I either don't remember my dreams or they're awful, wake up in a cold sweat, nightmares.
---

I usually dream about work
---

Monsters and going on adventures. My dreams are lengthy and surprisingly vivid.

I voted Other because they seem to be a combination of some of the choices. I get a lot of nightmares, and most of them don't make sense, but there are some repeatedly recurring things in my dreams.

One of the themes that seems to appear the most in my dreams would be the choice, Running late or missing an event. I get a lot of nightmares about schools and sometimes work and events. I would usually miss classes for a whole quarter or semester or not finish or even start assignments. Being way too late occurs a lot, too.

The choice, Nudity in public places, fits me, too. It's another one of my worst nightmares. I would be in public places without wearing anything because I forgot to put on clothes,was running late and had no time to do so, or suddenly lost all my clothes. This makes me very embarrassed and shameful.

I also get many nightmares about car and driving problems. In them, my car would not slow down or stop, no matter how hard I step on the brakes. It even keeps moving when I turn off the engine. At times, these problems result in accidents, so the choice, Accidents resulting in injury or death kind of fits.

I've dreamed about being chased a few times as well. Finally, another recurring theme is Ew! Yuck! Sick! Gross! things. They are often not sexual. When I say dirty things, I mean things that are not clean. They are usually things that take place in the bathroom or involve being sick. Dirt and trash are examples, too. These nightmares gross me out and I am still grossed out with nausea and upset stomach hours after waking up.

Electric sheep.



More seriously, it's a weird mix with a few running themes including going back to school (despite simultaneously knowing I've graduated), getting lost, being late, having limited time somewhere, moving or taking a vacation (with a fair bit of anxiety around packing), needing to be somewhere, etc. A lot of dreams involve malls and quite a few involve fairs/amusement parks/zoos/etc. Deconstructing them is neat in a way, since a few places are clearly composites of places I've seen. Then, of course, there's a dangerous element to quite a few areas (such as a walking path that leads near crocodile-infested waters) which I assume is probably because I've watched way too much horror over the years.

And, although it's kind of a mix, I'm selecting "Running late" since it's probably the largest single segment and overlaps with quite a few other dreams. Partially because there's *always* some sense of urgency in my dreams. I always need to be somewhere or do something.

Same, pretty much.

the anime/video games/books etc im currently enjoying, sex, weird/non-nonsensical stuff, and every embarrassing event that has ever happened to me.

I just passed out on the couch and dreamt of Starbomb for some reason
---

I dream a lot. They're sometimes steamy, but usually random. There are some common things/patterns in them though. I'm often trying to catch a city bus to go to campus, or interacting with a girl or girls (they're not always wet dreams; often we just talk). I often find myself in bathrooms too. *shrug*

Thankfully, I rarely get nightmares (though I did dream about a giant spider in the house somewhat recently).
