The title should read “You would NOTdo IRL” I’ve reported to the moderators as well.
I don’t often remember my dreams. Those few I do remember tend to be really weird or disturbing.
Last night I had a dream that I drove to a shopping center. I had a kid, an infant, in the carrier seat. At the store I only needed one quick thing, so I thought, “It will only take a second, and I can see out the window the whole time” , so I left the kid in the car(windows cracked)
I came back out of the store, and the car was gone, stolen!:eek: , and the kid along with it. I called 911 and the police came and took information. In my dream there was another car that looked almost just like mine that was flipped on it’s top, in the same parking lot.
I was in hysterics, feeling terrible guilt, and then I woke up.
Now, I don’t have kids at all, and I’d never, EVER, leave one behind like that. So why did I have such a scary dream like that? Have you ever dreamed of doing something you would never do in the waking world? I was bummed for a while this morning, over something totally outside of reality.
aruvqan, I assume those are all things that you would do, but which you simply can’t. I don’t think that’s really what the OP is looking for.
To the OP, I’m a lot more casual about sex in my dreams. In real life, I would never even considering walking up to a random woman I’ve never met before and saying “Hi, want to have sex?”. But I’ve done that in dreams.
Yeah, yeah, I’m sure that answer is completely unique.
I would never, ever smoke crack in real life. But the other night I dreamed that I was a crackhead. I was smoking crack in my dream, but I didn’t get high, because I’ve never done it IRL, so I guess my mind didn’t have any frame of reference for how it would feel.
I can recall only one dream where I suddenly became aware I was deaming. My first reaction was to try to fuck the first pretty girl I saw (yes, I was in my teens back then). But off course, I woke up just as I was undressing her
I had a dream where I met this girl and was going to have sex with her, then I remembered I was married and it would be a betrayal of my wife. But then I decided I should have sex with the girl after all. I woke up feeling horrible.
I quit smoking years ago. It was easy for me to quit, and I don’t miss it. But no matter what I dream about, I always take a break from the action to sneak away and buy a pack of cigarettes. Marlboro lights. Then I smoke them with great relish.
My afternoon naps are horrorific. I always dream in short snatches about something bad happening to my kids, me or my parents.
Today I dreamt my youngest boy drowned in the pool while with his mother, and after I awoke and then went back to sleep, I dreamt that my Mom called me to tell me that my Dad was dying of a heart attack (he has heart issues). In my dream I screamed at her “Why are you calling me? Call an ambulance!” and then I woke up.
This was in the space of about an hour. I can never nap peacefully in the afternoon and I don’t know why. Its bothersome, to say the least.
I get that sometimes too, but on the other hand, I also sometimes have dreams where I’m trying to take off my clothes, but it’s a Bartholomew Cubbins situation: No matter how many layers I take off, I’m still wearing more.
I have beaten people to serious injury or death in dreams, which is always an indication to me that my waking life is too stressful and it’s time to do more meditation and yoga. The people I’ve killed are only very rarely people involved in the stress of my waking life.
I’ve had the dreams where I can fly or breathe underwater, too.
I don’t usually remember dreams, but the other night I dreamt that I murdered my best friend by choking her to death, and then had my 13-year-old son help me conceal the body. It was beyond disturbing!
My stress dreams are so scripted that I’m able to wak up in the middle of them. I’ve lost a cat or cats, then lost carriers and lost cars. I’ll be running around in dark places, crying my eyes out and suddenly have a cat in my hands. The change from dream to rl happens so quickly that I cry on cat fur.
Yeah, only the other night (well, early morning) I dreamed I was having sex with a woman who wasn’t my wife - and in the dream I was thinking “Wow, I’ve never been unfaithful before. Oh well, now I am.” Unusually it didn’t end before the fun started as it does 99% of the time.
And the number of times I have dreamed of wandering around naked or taking a pee or a dump in the most inappropriate places… a waste-paper bin is common, a drawer almost as much for some reason.
