I have frequent vivid dreams, which I attribute to a certain prescription drug I take. I had never dreamed as vividly nor did I ever remember dreams the way I do now. In fact, I took another version of this drug originally and I dreamed in color for the first time ever! Switching drugs switched my dreams back to B&W but are still very vivid. Most of my dreams can be put into three categories:
1. Odd terror
2. Odd real life
3. Extreme love or sexual
Examples of each:
Odd Terror: I was simply walking down a city street (this one was in color) and all of the sudden the sky darkens as if we were experiencing an eclipse. I don’t look up but notice people beginning to run. I hear booming sounds and finally look up and see squadrons of saucer shaped UFO’s blasting away at us on the street. I run for a store and then feel a blazing heat in my back and I fall forward through the door of the store cutting myself on the glass as I break through the door. I am laying on the ground bleeding and can see the space ships landing. The owner of the store comes up to comfort me, but as she gets close she pulls off her head to reveal that she is an alien. I woke up. I had this dream well over a year ago and will not forget it.
Odd “real life”: I was on a sales trip in this dream and I landed at BWI and took the bus to the car rental center. On the bus everyone began to sing “and have a nice day, and have a nice day, and have a nice day” Everyone had these fake creepy smiles on their faces and they kept singing “and have a nice day, and have a nice day”. We pulled into the rental center and everyone gets off. I am last to get off and the bus driver says “You thought we didn’t know, didn’t you?” Freaked me out and I woke up. The back story to this is that in real life the bus to the car rental center at BWI has a recorded voice that makes announcements and after every announcement the voice (female) says And Have a nice day”. Like this: “Our next stop will be for United, please make sure you have all of your bags, and have a nice day.”
Lastly Extreme Love or Sexual feelings: I get these intense dreams that I am so in love with someone. Not always sexually, but just as if I feel that we are bonded. An example of both in one dream: I was in my hotel room (I travel a lot) sleeping and there is a knock on the door. I get up an look out the peep hole and see my ex-sister-in-law. I open the door and she walks in. We don’t say a word. She walks around the far side of my bed and begins to dis-robe. when she is completely naked she crawls into the bed and I am already there, naked. We spoon and fall asleep. We awake together and I have this most awesome feeling of love. A word is never spoken and, without details, she makes love to me and I feel as if I can fly. Lovely, really.
I remember some dreams for quite a long time.
