When studying I also solved some algebraic equation in my dream. I always hated algebra. :evil:


"Thought transfer" - I went through my teens afraid that people could read my thoughts. :lol: It must have started after I read John Wyndham's classic.

But the 'solving problems' aspect of dreaming was very useful when I was in my competitive element of experimentation. I used to wake up with lists of follow-up experiments to try; and had nightmares of missing out a vital control.

What I miss the most from dreams of younger years, was the ability to change the course of a dream and tune it willfully to something more interesting. :D Can't do that any more ... :?

I often tried to control my dreams to no effect, but if it was neccessary to get up mid-dream, I could return to bed and carry on from where I left it. This has happened on numerous occasions. If it were a bad dream however, I would terminate it then and there. It was always the sweet ones that I could resume. Frightening isn't it?

I rarely remember my dreams (which to my knowledge have always been in English). That said, if I have several different dreams in one night - these I do remember. Go figure! :?

You are as bad as my wife (house work finished then?). She swears she never dreams then comes up with a torrent of them first thing in the morning. They usually are nightmares involving me and Jamie/Boris etc. There must be a message there somewhere. :evil:

What can I say? Great minds dream alike! :lol:

The last dream I had that I can (partially) remember was last week - could not tell you about the one previous. Go figure. :roll:

Normally in my dreams just a lot of heavy breathing leading eventually to some loud screams. Then I wake up and realize that I haven't been running and accidentally run off a cliff. :oops:

The only time I dream in Greek is when my father, of blessed memory, appears in my dream. The dream typically starts in English, then moves onto Grenglish, and usually ends in Greek. The language change is commensurate with the level of "pathos" my father happens to be exhibiting. In other words, by the end of the dream, he's usually pissed about something. :lol:

Hmm ... methinks, Freud might care to analyse Filitsa's dream. :?

Naaa, it really isn't that complicated ... just an emotional man who is missed this holiday season.
