I remember my dreams almost every night. Last night was a sad one so I won't post it. My favorite dreams are the ones where I know I'm in a dream and so I do what ever I want - especially with the ladies.

Anyway, this may be my own personal dream space since I've met few people who can remember their dreams almost every single night. Post 'em here, you might even learn something about yourself.

If you WANT to be a vivid dreamer I recommend Mugwort (쑥 in Korean). You can smoke it or drink it or put it in soups or just put a load of it around your pillow. You can buy it in most markets or supermarkets.

Thanks but if my dreams were any more vivid I couldn't tell them from reality, which begs another question?....

It's ok if nobody wants to post their dreams cause I will be.

My dreams make no sense, wouldn't make for interesting reading. Only thing that really sets them apart is the fact that almost every dream I have takes place in unfamiliar places. Be it inside or outside, a school or a park, it's always somewhere I've never been. My dream world is bizarre and powerful with vast backdrops of scenery.

Last night I had to choose between sleeping next to my stinky, drunk brother or outside in my 1985 vanagon, which was freezing cold. I chose the vanagon.

I was back in the Army but I had my own personal Hummer registered in my name. I was with a couple of buddies and we were trying to figure out what to eat. There was a cute asian girl at one of the restaurants I was hitting on.

I was in Seattle and my Dad was showing me a houseboat he found for me. He said this place is great then some guy came out smoking and he cringed and said, I hate smokers.

I kept missing college classes for one reason or another. I was panicky that I would fail. Then I remembered in my dream that I had already finished college.

I have very vivid dreams and sometimes when I wake it takes me a few minutes to get my bearings. It is like ok you live in Korea, your name is... this is your house... That is because my dreams are so vivid it is hard to tell which is real this world or that world. As they say in Jacobs Ladder "our soul is afraid to let go of this world" people who are afraid to let go don't have vivid dreams. The ones of us that do let go at night come back to report it was like we were in different dimensions.

Some say our dreams are the unlived stuff from our days.

Good stuff!

Anecdotally, I've met very few people who can remember their dreams longer than just a few seconds after waking.

I've met even fewer who can remember their dreams every single night like I can.

What I'd like to do or see with this post is a longitudinal posting of dreams to see recurring theams and what they may mean in our lives.

If you can't remember your dreams then try putting a note pad next to your bed and write them down as soon as you wake up.

Last night I dreamed I was with all my old friends and we were playing soccer against some Koreans, on - what else - a pitch of sand. There were strange things nearby, like a stone castle or a traditional Korean village - maybe both. There were children watching the game and drinking energy drinks. It was an west meets east show down; emotions were high; but I woke up before the match ended.
