I dream every night. Every. Single. Night. It's exhausting to me, because my mind is never just...quiet. And I feel almost like I live two existences; day and night. I don't think I've ever met another person who dreams EVERY night (or at least someone who remembers them every morning, I know science says we all dream every night). I hate it, frankly. My dreams are almost never pleasant, they range from nonsensical to bizarre to terrifying.
Anyone else here experience constant dreaming? Sometimes I dread going to bed, because I have no idea what my mind will conjure up, it's like being forced to watch TV without having control of the remote.
Anywho...use this thread to post your dreams, whether they're old, recent, funny, scary, powerful, confusing...
I have tons of dreams about being chased and hunted by people or creatures who want to kill me. Last night was more of the same.
Last night I had a post-Rapture-ish dream (which I've been having a lot of recently), where we (left-behind Christians) were all living in a huge city. Suddenly, the non-Christians (which we knew were evil and wanted to capture, imprison, and kill us) appeared, and everything was in mayhem as we tried to run and hide. Some of the non-Christians were giants (like 100 feet tall) and they could smash their hands right through walls and buildings to grab us. We were all running, screaming, everything was hysteria all over the city. Many of us were finding hiding places though, in closets, in basements, in alleys. Sometimes the Christians could make themselves invisible. At one point I jumped into some sort of pit or ditch beside a building, and I heard a voice say “you’re hiding here, too?” and then I could see a big group of people all huddled down there with me. Another time I saw some non-Christians patrolling down a street in a car, and I jumped into a bush to hide, but (get this!) I dropped my PURSE of all things, on the grass. For some reason, I had my wallet in my hand, and I thought “maybe without any ID in the purse they won’t find me or know who dropped it”. But they instantly saw me and grabbed me. But I was able to break free and run from them (they were two girls) and they ran after me. I kept expecting them to have a weapon to shoot me, but they didn’t, and all they could do was chase me. When I realized they couldn’t hurt or catch me, I turned around and grabbed the one closest to me, and threw her like a wrestler would do. The rest of the dream was all running and hiding and dodging all those big, scary hands that would suddenly smash through buildings and grab whoever they touched.

I dream & remember every night. They are mostly about normal things, sometimes good, sometimes bad. but I remember them, and I write them down in the notebook on my nightstand.

Hebrews 4:12
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
If my mornings weren't so rushed, I would like to write mine down.

Have you ever done any reading on dreaming Vicky? It makes me wonder if there are others (there MUST be) who have the same issues. Especially if you are waking up exhausted, it must be so dang frustrating as sleeping is supposed to be our recharging time! Do you find that it affects you negatively, as in sleeping patterns, and waking exhausted?
I know one of my daughters dreams every single night too, and I only know that because she talks in her sleep every single night. But she doesn't talk to me about her dreams, and has never mentioned anything like this. So I can't say that I have any experience with such vivid and mind boggling dreams!
I think I might do a google search and do some reading...

Most of my dreams are so complex and involved that I've never been able to find a book or source that goes into enough depth to explain them. Most dream interpretation books will tell you what a color, or an object means. My dreams aren't just "a red ball was sitting on a square table", ya know? lol I call my dreams "epic dreams" because they're very complicated, long, multi-layered stories, almost like watching an entire movie.
I don't wake up physically exhausted, it's more of a mental exhaustion. It's like, I can't ever just stop thinking. When I go to bed, I want to be oblivious and unaware until I wake up, and not remember anything. But it never happens.
If you find anything in your research, let me know!

Before the kids came along I used to remember my dreams every single night, and even used to keep a dream journal where I'd write them down. Now, usually when I remember my dreams it's just sporadic because I konk out at night from exhaustion

I have had very vivid dreams everynight for what seems like my whole life! I think that worry and anxiety is behind it. The other night I had a particularly awful nightmare and it really disturbed and upset me. It is rare that I feel completely rested in the morn.

Hey Vicky, I found this link. Some of the article sounds a bit like what you're talking about, but if nothing else it's quite fascinating to read about what happens when we sleep/dream. And there is a pile of links after the article that all speak to the same topic. Maybe you can find something in there?
