how often do you remember ?
i originally posted this back on July 6th at another board. sadly, it received no replies.
===============================================
I don't know if this is normal or not, but for the last two nights I have been awakening on average every two or three hours, and after every awakening I remember exactly what happened in each dream.
I can usually remember bits and pieces of one or two dreams per week, but over the last two nights I can recall bits and pieces of minimum a half-dozen shorter dreams, about 2/3 of which occurred last night (Tuesday night).
During my regular dreams I usually have an uncanny knack for remembering specific DATES, NUMBERS and MEASUREMENTS. These dreams featured very few numbers other than which floor of a building things were located on in one dream.
Also, in one dream I can recall specifically being a member of the opposite sex while walking through a room; for a period of at most 30 seconds. This is bizarre, since this is the FIRST instance I can recall ever dreaming of being a woman!
Here are little snippits of those I have the best recollections of:
1) This was last night's first dream. I remember moving into a new building, almost like a residence for university students. I recall walking in thinking it looked more like some sort of empty classroom, as it had a metal door (like in our schools) to a concrete patio outside. I remember a friend of mine and one of her femal friends (haven't seen either in a year) knocking on that door to come it. The room number was 314.
2)
This was I believe the second or third dream last night, as it incorporated ONE key fact from the night's first dream.
During that dream, my room (314) was on the third floor of a building.
I recall wheeling into the elevator on ground floor in a wheelchair. I walked out onto the third floor into what appeared to be another room filled with girls my age (early 20s).
I turned around thinking "sh*t! i left half my stuff (on the wheelchair) in the elevator!" and for some reason recall it heading up to the 20th floor.
I recall some of the girls talking to me, and I told them my room was on the thrid floor, but I didn't recognize the room where I exited the elevator. I remember one particularily attractive redhead walking over, rubbing me and trying to seduce me. I remember telling her she could come to my room once I found it. To that she responded, "Oh, nobody leaves this room!"
Confused, I questioned why, then her voice changed into a spooky demonic voice and said I was in some lair of the dead; not sure of the exact wording, but something to that extent.
I remember saying "f*ck this", leapt out a window and began running through a grass courtyard. No fall from the third story window or anything- just straight out onto the grass.
She then followed me out, and started falling behind.
She then pulled out a gun and took two or three shots at me.
I distinctly remember the first one missing.
Now here is the STRANGEST part of any of these dreams:
While being shot at I recall thinking "Okay, if I die in this dream (acknowledging it WAS a dream in during the dream), then I will awaken, fall back asleep and dream about something less traumatizing."
The next shot hit me and I fell to the ground. However, I knew that I willed for this shot to take me down so that I could escape this fantasy gone awry and transport myself somewhere better.
3) (BEWARE- THIS ONE IS SEXUALLY EXPLICIT!!!)
This was either the dream after being shot at, or the second one after.
I recall talking with a woman; a stunningly beautiful italian/mediterranean black-haired girl.
I forget what happened next, but next thing I remember, she was naked on a bed in the centre of a room. I recall fondling and kissing her breasts and nipples, and fingering her genetalia. When it came time to insert my genitals into hers I awoke again.
I appologize for the length of this post; there are more topics I wish to cover, but will appear as new posts here.
Thanks,
