Last night I was running a slight temperature (damned summer cold) and had the most odd dreams
In one I had to go back to school as a sixth-former and had to wear full school uniform. When I arrived Humpty Dumpty was Pushed (old school qotwer for you young 'uns)was standing outside, he laughed at me but hugged me and told me I'd be alright.

Most odd.
What do you think it means?
And do you believe in dreams being a pathway to our subconscious desires and fears?

I like Terry Pratchett's theory that it's our brains filing our memories whilst we sleep

my daily activities have never included zombies
or being chased by monsters and I dream about that sort of thing frequently

no but you've seen zombie films
hence, brain filing under "films I've seen"
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:20, Reply)

I don't dream about them when I've been watching the films though
I dream too much odd stuff for it to be filing.

I used to see a Pratchett looky-likey on the way to work each day
Same hat, style of dress, glasses, beard, the works. What was infuriating about him wasn't the resemblance but that he would walk down the street whilst reading from a small laptop. A Darwin award waiting to happen.

I just don't get Pratchett
Sorry folks, but I don't.
I tried reading some of his stuff years ago but it just didn't grab me.
I haven't read Lord of the Rings or Hitchhikers Guide.

Does this mean I have to leave the internet?
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Oh the shame!
You don't have to leave but you will be put on a list and have to go about introducing yourself to other internet denizens making them aware of your hideous crimes.

To be honest I haven't read Lord of the Rings either. Read most of Hitchhikers Guide but I found the quality dipped later on. Read some Pratchett years ago but am not compelled to read any more, but then I have the same experience with most writers, three or four books is usually my limit before their style starts to grate.

Wet dream = not had sex or a wank recently enough

You know, that's never happened to me
Even when I was a teenager with a hair-trigger cock, I never woke up having 'emitted' during the night.

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:31, Reply)

There is that factor
If you've wanked yourself dry before falling asleep, then there's less chance of automatic jizzing during dormancy.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:33, Reply)

I'd always wake up just before I got to the good bit in the dream
thus saving me from cleaning up nocturnal emissions

I was lecturing on laser physics a while back
and had to explain the terms 'spontaneous emission' and 'stimulated emission', as encountered in that subject. It was on the tip of my tongue to say that they were analogous to a wet dream and a wank, but I thought I may have been disciplined had I said that!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:37, Reply)

I wasn't having a wet dream though
And it certainly wasn't sexy - I just felt bewildered throughout. I couldn't understand why I had to go back to school and why I had to wear uniform - I was driving myself there too!

I've had erotic dreams and they're not full of schoolgirl clichés. Mind you, it's been so long since I've had that sort of dream I can't really remember what they do feature...probably the big bloke from 300 - but not in any other film, just 300.
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:33, Reply)

I've had quite a few dreams where I've been back at school
And have always forgotten to do my maths homework. As I'm being berated by the teacher, I think "Hold on, I left school years ago!".
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:35, Reply)

Yep, that was what kept going through my mind!
Especially as the last job I finished a few weeks ago was teaching A levels....
( chickenlady b3ta's very own Elizabeth Taylor, Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:36, Reply)

I have a recurring dream...
...that I'm sitting A Level English this very day and that I've not handed in any coursework or revised.

Strangely, I don't seem to feel at all odd about being 18 years older than the rest of my classmates.
(Bicycle Repairman "you're also a bit of a wanker", Thu 29 Jul 2010, 13:38, Reply)

I can never have sex in a dream.
Something always stops it from happening just at the point where me and my amore get together.

I could probably cope with not getting any IRL better if I could bloody dream some nookie.

And on the very rare occasions I start to get some snogging action, it's with fucking Eddie Murphy.

my dreams, despite mainly consisting of being chased by things
or searching for people in deserted places with a sense of dread, are thoroughly entertaining, and I wouldn't be happy if I stopped remembering them.

I also once dreamt a feature-length sequel to The Thing, which was excellent.

And if it does, god help me. I have had some pretty fucking weird dreams.

I don't ever try to interpret dreams. Unless something awesome is happening in them. Like I had a dream last week that I got to work and my boss said "we decided we're all going to kings dominion today!" and I was stupidly excited. So I told my boss and he said "haha yeah right" sad face.
