I have a theory on dreaming. I've been studying my dreams, and how they work. Possibly the same with most people. After a few days, I've realized something. I think you only dream about what you see in the day or night before sleep, but only if you think nothing of it. If you are watching a movie and you think "I want to have a dream about this movie." more than likely you won't because you thought of dreaming. But, if you are watching a movie and you don't think of dreaming, you have a pretty good chance at dreaming about it. Now, I don't know if this is true or not, but it just might be. I don't know if dreams work differently for different people, maybe they do, maybe they don't. But I think this is a good theory I have. |

I agree with you on both counts Dream Child. Most of my dreams are in some way related to random events of the past few days. When I first realized that a few years ago, I started making predictions like "I will dream about aliens tonight because I just watched Alien. These predictions were always wrong, so I reached the same conclusion that you did. For me, thinking that I will dream about an event or a topic means that I almost certainly will not dream about it. The only exceptions to this rule are when some event so hugely important happens that I think of nothing else all day. An example of this: for the past two presidential elections I have gone to bed not knowing for sure who won, but knowing that I will have horrible nightmares all night about it. But anyway, what you were saying always holds true for me with regards to minor events. |
