I never get nightmares. :D

Or if I do, I never remember them.

Lucky. <_<

That sounds... excessive. I never bother about nightmares.

If you know it's a dream, first try just making everything disappear - it's in your own mind, you don't have to fight it - you are it. Just have everything fade to white.
Failing that, wake yourself up - just pull yourself out of the dream.

My dreams seem to get less interesting with age.

I get what would be called nightmares, but to me, they are the best dreams. Oh, did you ever have that feeling, where you are really out somewhere and awake, then something happens, where you kind of get lightheaded and you think you are dreaming?

have you guys with nightmare problems ever tried getting a dream catcher?

A dream catcher is a bit of wood tied up with string. It won't actually do anything.

<_< get one of the really nice north american ones, i think they work.

It's just superstition.

My dreams are weird. I think I was singing into a banana last week.

I've tried that. But then I started falling. Then I tried to float, but then my body started to split at the "seams". Then I got pissed off and just sat back and let it happen.

It still hurt.

I even tried making it all turn into nothing (completely nothing, no dreaming) but it always found some way around it. It's very weird...

I have trouble waking myself up, and when I do it takes me hours to fall asleep again.

Whatever, I'll survive.

Nine days, 2 more hours left...

The problem is you've got the wrong idea - you're fighting it still, and that's completely the wrong way to go about it - if you fight yourself you'll lose. Don't fight, just command. If you know it's a dream and you believe you can fully control it, you can. It's quite literally all in your mind. If you set out to fight it you'll lose, but if you recognise that you can control it, you can.

Hmm, how do you know it's a dream? Mine are usually very... fuzzy.

i don't really remember my dreams at all...if I have any

I ALWAYS remember my dreams, good or bad.

And I have a dreamcatcher, Luciene, AND I'm Native American. Doesn't help at all. <_<

But that could be just because it's as old as I am...

I think its a medical fact that you do not remember every single dream you have because your dream many times in a single night.

It is actually possible to remember every dream, but it requires voluntarily waking up at the end of every dream cycle and then writing them down before going back to sleep - normally Faquarl is quite right - you only remember any dreams you had right before waking up, and even those memories will fade rapidly.

I heard you can only dream about things you had previously seen, if that is true, then when you are reading a book, or listening to music, and you imagine it as it is happening, are you picture things you have already seen, or do you actually make things up? I don't believe that, because some of the things I have dreamt, I have never seen, for certain.

Wherever you heard that from was wrong - you can dream about anything you can imagine, and you can imagine absolutely anything.

Haha, I said I didn't believe it, like i said, some of my freams are pretty strange
