    Default I can't seem to remember real life vs dreams I had..

    This might sound funny but I've noticed that in the past 5 years or so I'm having a hard time remembering new information. (I don't smoke pot) lol..

    But here's the strange thing. I dream at least 4 nights a week. Sometimes I can be sitting around or just walking and I remember random things that people told me, or something "I had to do". However I can never remember details or if this was a dream or if this actually happened in real life.

    I feel like some thing a friend told me to do 4 days ago is some distant memory of a dream I had years ago. It has got me in hot water since I been forgetting little things here and there. Nothing to serious but I've noticed that it's getting worst.. I don't know what to attribute it to. I don't do drugs.. I'm the average social drinker.

    Does anyone have this? Im not talking about the random "i forgot".. more like.. every week you can't tell if you dreamed or actually lived it..

    Sometimes I get dreams like that, but mostly my dreams (which are vivid and I have about 2 per night) are so weird and nonsensical that I can't mistake them for reality. Maybe having so many dreams is making you feel unrested and forgetful? I have sleeping pills because I have so many dreams I never fell as though I've been to sleep.
    "Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."

    Same here. My dreams are so vivid and detailed yet so ridiculously inconceivable that I couldn't possibly describe them if I wanted to.

    I rarely ever dream.
    When I do they are, usually, all the same or similar.
    Every dream of mine is in some concentration-camp or in a gas-chamber, then I get killed an the dream ends. Or I magically get out race away in a car which crashes falls in a river and I drown.

    That and weird psychopatic stuff.
    Is this resistance or a costume party?
    Either way I think black with bandanas is a boring theme.

    People dream every time they sleep. We just don't remember most of them.

    I play a lot of shooting games, so some of the dreams I remember involve me running around all sorts of crazy places wielding all sort of weapons. Driving vehicles too. Although gravity seems a little bit fucked in my dream-world, since I find it really easy to jump ridiculous heights/distances in my dreams. I've even had dreams where I've been orbiting the Sun out in interplanetary space (without a spacesuit, even), where I ended up bumping quite hard into this probe/satellite-type object.

    Also, since realising that I'm bisexual, sex dreams have become more awesome.

    While most of the lucid dreams I have are super ridiculous, the ones I do have that are "normal" really do fuck with my sense of reality, and I get caught in spells where I just sit for like twenty minutes and think about how much of my last month really happened or what was just shit that i dreamt about. It got really bad when i was on chantix too, have you ever quit smoking with chantix?
