Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'll start off with a pretty funny one. Actually this is a waking dream I had a couple years ago. I've always had more vivid and bizarre dreams when I work nights and sleep during the day. This one in particular happened after I'd worked a graveyard shift (10pm to 7am). I was asleep for maybe two hours when a train went by (I live directly across the street from a railroad track). The trains don't normally bother me anymore, but for some reason, this time it caused me to dream that I was in bed, just as I actually was, but the train had derailed. Not only that, but the derailment was causing the train to fly through the air...heading directly for my apartment. In fact, I was so sure that the train was going to crash through my bedroom wall that I scrambled out of bed, threw all the blankets and pillows on the floor (cuz, you know, I had to make way for the train... rolleyes ) and ran out into the living room. Where I fully woke up, and spent a few moments wondering what I was doing in the living room...then I laughed myself silly for a while, and went back to bed.

xD

Yes. All of the above. But I've also been wondering about this: occasionally I wake up from a dream & check the clock. Next, I fall back asleep (almost immediately). Then later, when I wake up & get out of bed, it is earlier than when I checked the clock! What's up with that!!!

Gallo! That's awesome. rofl rofl

Triscuit ~ I've had that same train dream. Only I didn't run into the living room; the thing that woke me up was puzzling over how it was that I hadn't died when the train hit the apartment. And why the train was able to skip over the tops of the buildings in between my place and the tracks (just two buildings). I woke up like, "How could that be?!? Oh!!!! I must be dreee-ammm-ming!"

Awww! And in your first reference, was calamity coming to your family? Is that was it means this time? Or is it just the discord of the upcoming holidays not meeting everyone's expectations?

Boy that can be a mushroom cloud all right. Especially around my sister! biggrin

I've had a lot of natural disaster dreams for some reason. Like earthquakes, or most often I dream about volcanoes erupting. The volcano ones are usually pretty scary and involve me trying to get people to evacuate, but nobody ever believes me that a volcano is spewing lava everywhere, and they all die. o_O No idea what that's supposed to mean. But when I dream about earthquakes or tornadoes, they're really fun. Like amusement park rides. xd

I hope everything works out for the best regarding your career. I was out-of-work for 20 months, but I just got a great job. The very job that I studied for & everything. Just do your best to make your tasks funny & you will perform great! Can / should you work as a temp? Temping can be a great way to try-out different jobs.

I'm glad you are hooked up. It sounds like a great program. smile

The funny thing is, (if it's not a nightmare xd but a normal dream of sorts), I can usually continue from where I left off.. kinda like taking the remote control and hitting the "Pause" button.

When I am dreaming, I know I am in a dream and it's not true.. (usually if the dream doesn't bode well). It's probably due to stress, but I generally have to let the dream run its course before I can wake up. sweatdrop No breaks allowed.

My dreams aren't usually as intense as my brother or sister, theirs kind of foretell an omen or some sort.. it usually has connections with death and the deceased. On the other hand, mine is usually plain weird like having a dream which my grandma turned into a werewolf, a couple of times I think... xp or having the house burn to the grounds. As I said, I am probably stressed. >.>
