Oh and Good Morning everyone :D

Good morning! I don't remember my dreams much but usually I'm someplace doing something with no big stress. I subscribe to the philosophy that dreams are only random brain activity. I do know that dreams, especially nightmares, can be influenced by meds.

Have had nightmares since I was 3 .. dont' remember much before then hehe.

I guess I got into a pattern of having bad dreams and dunno how to change that.

I just have really strange dreams; they seem so real and when I wake up, I often ask others if those specific events actually transpired. I realized it is from the Tegretol.

My most prominent dream: I'm able to fly from a standing position while feeling very important and uniquely gifted. Other people see me and they try to fly but they can't. I'm going straight up into the air [as a helicopter would upon take-off] and I'm flying over the rooftops of houses in the neighborhood where I grew up. As I get closer to my parents cape cod style home it morphs into a different style, color, or the house moves further back in the row of houses along my street so then I have to fly for a longer time to get there. It seems to take hours to arrive. Meanwhile I lose my ability to fly, then reattain it, lose it again etc. When so much time passes and I finally get "home" I find that the house is all different on the inside too and that someone else lives there. They don't know my parents either. Sometimes the entire neighborhood has changed which causes me to have intense fear. I'm left upon waking to feel that I'm a stranger in my own hometown.

I have had some very bad dreams thanks to the meds. I wake up very, very anxious. I do my best to forget the dreams rather than remember them. I try to get busy doing dishes or some other activity that distracts me from the dreams.
I don't believe that our dreams really have a lot to offer us. I think they are random responses to the previous day's events; just your sub-conscious reacting to the day to day ordinary triggers of our lives.

i was in a room with steel tables and walls, with vortex, tornado like structures coming from above and depositing new bodies on the steel tables.

i have had some FUNKY dreams. they get worse if i drink.

After being locked up in prison for the criminally insane, nightmares ceased to exist...........think it were the shock treatments.

Used to have a lot of Icarus dreams too, but since my divorce, dreams are not remembered unless i awake during them.
