TOTALLY GEEKED!

I've had I don't know how many babies in my dreams, but when I try to pick them up, the blanket is empty.

I have very vivid dreams. I have all my senses in dreams.

I've woken up crying, laughing and the worst is waking up and still see the dream.

I've had 2 dreams that scared me so bad I didn't want to go back to sleep and they followed me for weeks.

In the first, I was arguing with my brother's girlfriend. I was just out of high school, I did not like her at all. I dreamed she and I were fighting and I dreamed I beat her terribly. I could smell her blood in my dream. I jerk ed awake and I was shaking and still had that blood smell in my sinuses. It was awful.

The second one was after I was married. He and I were staying at his mom's that night, I dreamed that a man came in the window in the room across from where we were sleeping. I dreamed he killed my SIL, came out of that room, killed my husband, stabbed me several times, and went into the bathroom. I dreamed I got up and went into my MIL room and tried to wake her up. I dreamed I heard him coming and I grabbed my little niece and slide under the bed. I woke up screaming. It was horrible.

Thank God I have never had dreams like that any more.

But I love my superhero dreams!

Like the other night, I dreamed we, my family, was at a party/event place. Someone was getting married. But the outside of the place had a huge T-rex/Godzilla looking thing by the doors. It was a facade, no roof or walls.

To one side was a buffet table but it wasn't a table, it was an alter of some kind, and I noticed the Rexzilla was missing.

I dreamed I looked up just as it stepped over the facade and was headed to the alter/table thing. It was throwing people and killing people and everyone was running for their lives.

Well I reached in my pocket and pulled out a grenade launcher and shot the thing in the mouth just as it went down to grab someone.

The thing blew up and somebody gave me a beer.

It was crazy.

For the longest time I had the same nightmare that my ex was stabbing me. It finally went away a few years ago. Not too long ago I had this dream that my parents were in the hospital dying of cancer and I just wanted to get out of the hospital to go home to my kids. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get off the escalator. It was like a perpetual loop. And then there was one the other night... That was a doozy. I dreamed my ex b/f was an OB/GYN and told me DH and I were having twins. One boy and one girl. I was at the hospital in labor and my ex was there and DH was there and...OBAMA!...was there and he and DH were arguing gun laws. That one was weird.

 So at the risk of sounding like a total weirdo, the dream with your parents  and the escalator makes sense. 

It represents your deep anxiety that your parents' profound sickness will hold you back from being able to parent your own children. You don't want to perpetuate the cycle, but you are afraid that you wont be able to break it, no matter how much you want to.

 Now that makes sense.  I can believe that.

Well, if I had good dreams it would be nice. Mine are always weird.

 Are you not able to control your dreams? 

Maybe I should ask this first, can you smell in your dreams? Do you dream in full, real world color or are the colors either faded or sometimes stark?

Can you taste in your dreams? 

How many of your senses do you have in your dreams?

---

 No.  I can't control my dreams.  I dream in color.  I incorporate things into my dreams.  If the kids are making popcorn and burn it I incorporate the smell into my dreams.  If I hear something in the background I incorporate that into my dreams.  Basically all my senses but only if it happens IRL.  Here's an example, when I was a child I used to have a recurring dreams where a shark was eating my leg off.  I'd wake up and my leg would be sore.  It wasn't until I was an adult that I came to realize I was having charlie horses in my legs and sleeping through them and incorporating them into dreams.

---

 Ok. That means you have the ability to learn to control your dreams. 

Now, I don't mean you control what you are dreaming, but rather you can control the outcome. Change it.

 

Take your shark dream. 

 

While dreaming the shark is attacking you, with practice, you can learn to recognize the pattern leading up to it, and change it.

Instead of the shark attacking you, eventually you can make the shark swim away.

Such a bummer. And it wasn't just Flan who ruined it. Just saying.

 I'm aware.  But the "people have left because of all the bickering" by some of the biggest bickering offenders is rich.

 I'm merely stating the truth.

Newsflash: We are both stubborn and opinionated.

 Once the insults started being quoted...no such chance...

 I was hoping this would be a fun thread and an encyclopedia of Geek verbal treasures!  

For what it's worth, the reason I cut and pasted the head banging quote was not to direct it at anyone, because I really couldn't remember who it was directed at, but because I thought it was funny....if you're banging your head, you're not posting. Sorry if others didn't find the humor in that.

So, why can't the "challenge" be on this thread and this remain a sticky?

 I'm afraid to ask what happens if the toilet is round...

 Ever see a grown man turn into a toddler?

Ummm, yes?

But it still conjures up a...unique...mental image, chef.

flan

 Nothing unique.

He's just too good to sit on a round toilet. He says round toilets aren't made for men.

My powder room is really small. The first time my BFF & her SO came over her SO made the comment that my powder room was so small he couldn't go #2 in it.

He wouldn't want to use our powder room then. It's small, so a round toilet fit better.

---

 I've never even thought about what type of toilet was available until I met DH. As long as I can use it, I don't care what shape it is.

I really hate small bathrooms!

 And now I'm thinking about ours!

I guess they ARE oval...

flan

 I'm trying to mentally picture mine.  I think they are oval too.

Our "little" downstairs "closet" is so small, you can sh1t, shave and spit without moving off the toilet. But, you will be banging your knees against either the door or the cabinet. Sit sideways folks, sit sideways to close the door.

 That's what we have in our master bath.  We have the set up where it's just the tub and toilet in the little room and the counters and sinks and closet in another.  The actual bathroom part makes me claustrophobic so I never shut the door.  It's too hard to anyway.  No knee room.   You can get really sick and throw up in the bathtub at the same time your making use of the other end.  Yep.  THAT small.

---

NJN, ours actually was a closet at one time. There is no tub. It measures 51 inches wide by 37 inches deep. Sink and counter take up a third of the space.

Go ahead, chalk draw that and give it a try.  

---

 Nooooooooooooooooooooo!  That is too little!

I can do that math.

Isn't it amazing what you're grateful for sometimes?
