Dreaming/sleeping issues...

I'll start by saying that I'm a very odd sleeper, I usually have a very hard time sleeping. Would this affect my dreams at all? Another thing, I can't nap - literally, never in my life, except when I'm sick, can I nap. I've tried before, relaxing, reading, watching T.V., and the worst, forcing myself to nap. None work for me; does anyone have a suggestion to help me nap during the day? Now, most of my life, except for this year, pretty much, I've always had dreams, and I've always had a good memory of them. Now, it's not that I have a vague idea of the dream, I just don't dream at all. A few weeks ago I did have a Lucid dream out of nowhere, and that was the first time I had even heard about controlling dreams. I'm concerned on whether I'm dreaming at all, or I'm just not remembering. If I am dreaming, I have NO memory of it occurring, not even the most vague drawing. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks. Also, will listening to music while trying to sleep affect my dreaming at all?

I have a problem similar. If i go to sleep extremely tired am I less likely to have a good dream?

when your more tired, i think your brain might not have as much activity...i might take some multivitamines that give me energy before i go to bed tonight and see what happens.

Weird delima. Have you tried sleeping pills?

I also from time 2 time just cant fall asleep, so i love when im so tired that soon as i hit the bed, i immedtily start to fall asleep

Sleeping pills/tranquilizers kill dreams I think, or prevent you from having REM sleep, not sure

That would suck

usually, when i take a mid day nap, i dream like a mother.

this is actually quite common, Lethal. I've asked many people about dreams and more often than not they say "well, I don't dream"...this is not true. truth is, everyone dreams, every night. most people choose not to think about it, so the dreams are forgotten as soon as the person wakes up. to remember them, you should keep a dream journal. even if you don't remember anything, just sit and try to rememer something, like maybe places you often visit that may have been in the dream, people you think about alot, or even feelings...how did you feel when you woke up....chances are, you'll get SOMETHING. it may not be big...but still, it's a start. you could remember a part from a dream later in the day, something around you may trigger a memory, maybe something someone says...like today, something my boyfriend said to me on the way to lunch triggered a thought and opened part of my memory of my dream last night....just keep that up, and soon you'll be recording whole dreams, then even several in one night!


welcome to the forum..

nicely spoken, paperdoll.
