....dreams where there isn't any imagery to speak of? Like just inner dialogue, but no discernible setting or characters.

I know some computer types will be familiar with the infamous "programming dream." For awhile I was scripting a mod for a game on my computer, and I would have dreams where I was just looking at black and saying "Frame, underscore, set on one, enter. Should I turn off the actor too, or just the frame? Act, underscore, set state one. Wait, is one the off setting, or is it zero?" etc

I wonder because I had a lucid one of these last night. I was very definitely dreaming, but all I could do was talk to someone else in my head.

I haven't had any lucid dreams, but i have had SO many dreams of me designing site templates with photoshop or writing html/css in dreamweaver. God damn are those dreams boring

Haha, its not at all the same as you described but you reminded me of one time when I was a kid, Id just been playing theme hospital on the pc for a LONG time and when I closed my eyes to go to sleep I could still see the game playing, and the awful music was playing in my head, and getting louder. The game was turning creepy and playing itself. so I decided Id click on the exit part, and when it asked "are you sure you want to quit "or something like that it then brought up a panel saying "NO!" when I clicked yes and kept on doing this it eventually drove me to tears, I couldnt stop it from happening even by opening my eyes and closing them again, it just continued everytime I opened a sublist on th emenu options list it said "you cant > leave > no > turning> off". haha it was quite awful at the time, but rather funny when I think about it.

I've had dreams like that a few times, though I can't call them Lucid. Like typing html, webpages popping up, or chatting wiht someone I know on MSN . One time when I had a high fever I had a lucid dream about typing the same thing over and over and over again. I remember telling myself what a stupid dream it was, but couldn't change it for more then a few seconds..... Irritating then, but kind of funny to bring up here.

I;ve had dreams where I am trapped in what I call the void. There is nothing...total darkness. No one. It's just me, by myself. Usually I am lucid in these dreams and can then do various things to sort of paint myself a dream, for lack of a better explanation. When this happens and I am not lucid...I wake up after a short while, and it's rather unpleasant.
