Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 1)

I remember dreams maybe half the time? Maybe a little less. Sometimes i enjoy it, other times it’s stressful. I voted indifferent, but that’s not actually a good answer.

I figure that there are enough enthusiasts right now that if I spent less than $10K for a CyberTruck right now, I could turn it over for triple the price with no trouble. But don’t hold me to the price in a few years. Remember the Hummer? At one point you couldn’t avoid them. The line peaked in about 2006 and was discontinued in 2009.

Though in finding the figure below, I see that the Hummer EV is responsible for a comeback by this brand. Why buy a useless science fiction style CyberTruck when you can buy a heavy, dangerous faux-military EV?

I couldn’t find an accurate answer in that poll, and didn’t vote.

I know I dream much more often than I remember the dreams. I usually only remember them if I wake up in the middle of one.

When I do remember them, I usually feel good about them, or at least neutral, but occasionally there’s one I remember that was unpleasant.

I’m dreamy-fied. I dream often several times a night. I generally like them.

I assume I dream, but I rarely remember them.

I dream occasionally per the OP in that I wake up, remember I was dreaming and some details at least briefly - probably twice a week? Maybe 3? I wonder if that’s supposed to be frequently? Anyway, maybe 10-20% are some sort of nightmare (because they tend to be more memorable) and 70ish% or so are various flavor of stress dreams: stuck at work but haven’t worked there at years, naked somewhere public, some school/work project is due but I forgot - blech. So 10% TOPS of my dreams are just weird / interesting / fun. And the emotional fog and frustration tend to linger all day if it’s the last dream before waking up.

In light of that, I went with dislike and wish I didn’t overall.

My dreams are mostly pleasant. Occasionally I have lucid dreams, which are always fun. Recently, I became impressed with myself - during the dream - by the realistic and detailed environment I’d created.

A really good dream will help put me in a good mood when I wake up. Conversely, I’m generally able to shake off a bad dream pretty quickly.

I, along with @elfkin477’s brother, am in the minority.

I dream every night, several times, and I consider them an annoyance.

They are never scary, just ridiculous.

mmm

I think dreaming is an important part of sleep, and everyone dreams every night. But the poll defined “dreaming” as “waking up and remembering a dream”. So I went with that definition.

Does that retro airline also allow smoking? Because that’s the biggest difference to me between flying when i was younger and flying now.

I often do pay for more space, but I’m not especially interested in any of the other changes, except the smoking, which is way better now.

I rarely remember my dreams, other than during my yearly two week tolerance break when I go without cannabis. Then I remember extremely crazy dreams that often leave me thinking about them for days.

My dreams are usually either something going wrong at work, or being back in school, and unprepared for a test or term paper. Stuff that is uninteresting to me, and I would never inflict on others. I really get annoyed when people feel the urge to tell me about the dream they had last night.

Whoops, I forgot all about that.

What I was thinking of was the seating, and the lack of electronics (presuming everybody didn’t just use all their individual ones, that is.) I’d prefer the modern attendants to the old-fashioned short-skirted stewardesses.

The food might be better now, if you get any – but you seem to be a whole lot less likely to get any.

Me too. That might be a dealbreaker.

I’m sure I dream all the time. Given the questions definition of dreams you remember it’s only occasionally. I sleep deep and only remember half waking dreams like when outside noises intrude and become part of the dream.

I feel bad for people who don’t like dreaming. Last night I was on the Starship Enterprise and Data was missing. I found him. Dreams rock!

Yeah, well, I’m happy for you.

I couldn’t find my class on the first day of school.

mmm

I don’t want and have no room for the Tesla truck, although I kinda like its looks. If I had to take one, I’d just sell it ASAP.

I remember my dreams maybe two or three times a month, and they’re usually pleasant, although just a few nights ago I had one of those “gotta take a test and I know nothing about the subject” dreams. Ugh.

Stir-fry over rice, please, but fair warning: unless it has a good and strong taste, I’ll probably add teriyaki or soy sauce.

I’d be glad to fly on a retro airline, just for the aesthetics and the experience, if the price was right and if it still didn’t allow smoking.

I’ve been fascinated by dreams my entire life. In my younger years I wrote them down. I have many notebooks full of then. Now that I’ve retired, I’ve made remembering dreams part of my sleep pattern. I have alarms wake me during the last two hours of sleep and I think about what I’m dreaming. Often I can go back into the same dream.

I’m not looking for meaning from them. They are just fun. It’s the same kind of enjoyment as reading a book or watching a TV show except that I am part of it. On the rare occasion I have a nightmare, I wake myself up as soon as it gets scary. Dreams are a normal part of my life and become memories like anything else.

I don’t normally tell anyone about the dreams unless they are really weird. Last month I told my best friend about the one I had where I was talking to Richard Nixon through a plastic cup of ice water. That one was crazy. :upside_down_face:

I said that I dream “occasionally,” which may be a bit generous, although the bar was pretty low in the poll: we didn’t have to remember them very long or in any detail. Still, as far as I can remember, when I dream I have some sense that I know I’m dreaming, and that therefore I find my dreams entertaining even though they might be scary or disturbing or unpleasant if I thought they were really happening in reality. Thus, “I like it when I do.”
