What's Your Favorite Kind of Dream?

[dragongirl253]

Heya! This thread is exactly what it says on the tin! Post here what kind of dream is your favorite to have! And by, "Kind of dream," I don't mean lucid, non-lucid, etc., etc. I mean kind of dream as in what kind of stuff goes on in the dream. (i.e. Ones where you fly around, ones where you make out with random people, ones where the whole thing is in third person perspective, ones that are total mind screws, etc.) Personally, being a teenager, my favorites are the ones where I get to make out with people, (Don't you dare judge me.) although any dream is fine by me. PS: Why do I get the feeling that this kind of thread has already been posted a million times, even though I couldn't find any like it when I searched?

Exploring a vast house with many rooms. One room has fantastic furniture in Another is full of antiques. Another has scientific gadgets in that I can not even draw, never mind remember correctly. Often the rooms have been closed up for years, and I am only just discovering them for the first time. Something different in every room. The stairway in the house is always very grand, and made of carved wood

It's difficult to describe, but it's a dream that has a unique feeling about it, but the word "feeling" doesn't really do it justice. It's a bleak landscape. Lots of grey. There are often large areas of flooding. All the buildings are grey and walls are damp. It's like being in a bleak piece of art. It's like I'm visiting another world in another life. Never get lucid in them, but maybe that would spoil it.

I like dreams with complicated plots. I love that feeling when you wake up and it's like you've just lived a film, you know? I hate nightmares (who doesn't?), but sometimes a little adrenaline feels good too.

Wow, I just now realized how vast people's tastes in dreams are... =p In an attempt to not sound superficial, I'm gonna change my answer to my second favorite kind of dream... The ones where I get to interact with characters that could never exist in the real world. (i.e. Video game characters, anthros, (The animals with the human shaped bodies, for those who don't know) people drawn in anime style, etc.) Yeahhh, that's totally a better answer =P

Adventure style dreams.

I like dreams with complicated plots. I love that feeling when you wake up and it's like you've just lived a film, you know? I hate nightmares (who doesn't?), but sometimes a little adrenaline feels good too. Yes, i know what you mean, i absolutely love it when i wake up and i've literally just been on a serious adventure. But when it comes to nightmares, i actually kind of like them.

I love dreams that stay with you for a while. Like flying can lose it's impact over time. But sometimes a dream can be so twisted, abstract, absurd or mysterious that it will only leave you awake with questions.

There are often large areas of flooding. All the buildings are grey and walls are damp. It's like being in a bleak piece of art. It's like I'm visiting another world in another life. Never get lucid in them, but maybe that would spoil it. I know what you mean by 'feeling'. I call them 'atmospheres'. And I agree that they're indescribable. I think we have them in real life too but they change so gradually we don't notice. I'm not sure whether everyone experiences those different atmospheres or feelings to dreams so drastically. ------------ My favorite type of dream... It may be a tie between those unforgettable adventure dreams with unique atmospheres and plots that I don't know how my mind came up with (however I'm at the height of frustration when I know I've had one but can't remember it), and 'sensual' dreams. Unfortunately I don't get the latter as often as I'd like. When I say 'sensual', I don't strictly mean 'sexual'. It can be sexual, but isn't always. Sometimes it involves sex or kissing or touching, but sometimes that overwhelming sensual feeling can be triggered simply by talking, being around, anticipating an interaction with or even thinking about the right DC in the right mood, with sexual or romantic tension. The feeling of sensuality can be severely heightened in my dreams, stronger than anything I think I'm capable of experiencing in real life. It's probably the best feeling in the world.

I like to read books, fantasy, sci-fi, suspense...my tastes range from authors like Tolkien, Koontz, and King to the likes of Gardner and Clancy. So, I likewise enjoy adventuresome dreams. My ultimate goal is to have a LUCID adventure dream where I let my subconscious actually control the events and I just follow along, using my lucidity to help me deal with situations that arise. I'd also like to have at least one dream that takes place in the Fallout universe. Wandering the post-apocalyptic wasteland, running from death-claws and sneaking past raiders....that just sounds really fun That is, as long as the death-claw doesn't eat me ~SilverWolf~

[SilentDream]

I love having dreams that involve adventure and happen in places that either don't really exist, or I can never really go. Also dreams where I wake up and say "what was THAT about?" because they were so twisted and strange. It's fun to try to figure out how they might relate to my real life. Oh and flying is the best, but I'm not very good at it...yet.

I like those kind of dreams that stay with me for a while. You know, where you keep getting reminded of the dream without even trying, because it was so puzzling, beautiful and/or vivid. For me, these memorable dreams are mostly about family or falling/being in love, but I can also embrace a nightmare, when it belongs to the memorable category. Oh well, basically 'what Booney said' xD

[insideout]

I think my favorite kind of dream is when it's like I'm visiting another world, or universe. Second to that would be when I meet interesting people or beings and entities that I feel are important in some way. For example, deities, other lucid dreamers, and travels through different planes. Neat stuff like that. Bonus if I'm lucid for it. My favorite kind of dreams I would like to have (but have not been very successful with) would be creating my own world and visiting it.

[TheSilverWolf]

That sounds like a lot of fun. I might try to do something like that tonight with my WILD attempt later Have you had any interesting conversations with aliens from another universe? In your dreams I mean :p ~SilverWolf~

[TranquilityTrip]

Dreams that involve a combination of flying and exploration are easily my personal favorite so far. Zombie dreams are also high up there on my list of favorite types of dreams.

[VashtaNerada]

Dreams where I meet new DC and have a short friendship with them. Some conversations can be very interesting and insightful.

[VashtaNerada]

And, how could I forget, zombie/any other mythical creature apocalypse! Some awesome music tends to play in the background (specifically, Eye of the Tiger).

[Ashikael]

I like dreams that are bizarre and seem nonsensical on the surface, but obviously are full of symbolic meanings. They engage your mind twice - once while you're dreaming it, and once while you're sitting there trying to interpret it I also like hilarious dreams full of comedy, and also dreams that involve religious experiences.

[Latrodectus]

My two favorite types of dreams would have to be adventurous ones where I'm constantly exploring a place or setting that isn't real and nightmares. Nightmares tend to stick with me, be incredibly vivid, and give me a bit of an adrenaline rush.

[realdealmagic]

My favourite type of dream would have to be a lucid one Non-lucid, my favourite type of dream is just a vivid one. If it has a lot of clarity, and I can remember it well, it is a good dream in my book (in my dream journal? ).

I love dreams that i cannot comprehend, love thinking about them. From adrenaline dreams i like flying into the sky and then to falling down into the middle of the ocean, or running into any brick wall, breaking through and then falling down into the ocean which is very far below. I also love to make out with people, but i prefer random scenarios instead of any desired person. It is better to say that i love most of my dreams
