- dandandantheman, on 06/04/2009, -2/+16I usually remember dreams if I wake up in the middle of one, i.e. alarm clock 3-4 hours into sleep. ***** way to get sleep, but good way to have some crazy dreams.
I dreamed last night that I was swimming in the ocean near Atlantis, but Atlantis was only partially submerged. A giant T-Rex was standing on one of the buildings and jumped into the water and ate a whale whole. I was scared, so I swam underneath a submerged building and suddenly there were reptilian mermaid people with tridents swimming around and looking threatening.. The end.
BTW that is a crappy article - Sirocco, on 06/04/2009, -0/+13Drinking orange juice a few hours before bed helps a fair bit. It helps produce acetylcholine, a potent neurotransmitter that helps with the formation of memories. I can generally remember 2-4 dreams per night.

Of course, I'll bet there will be all sorts of weird stuff
posted on YouDream. - supermanly, on 06/04/2009, -1/+10I agree, and your dream is 1000x more informative than the article.
- nomadspartan, on 06/03/2009, -0/+6I still don't know how to recall 'em.
- TheObviousChild, on 06/04/2009, -0/+5Get your ass to Mars!
- BoutDemCanes91, on 06/04/2009, -0/+5I've been smoking since i was a fetus and it hasn't effected my memory. Well, maybe a little, i'm not sure, i dont remember.
- StayLucid, on 06/04/2009, -1/+5Absolutely. Lucid dreams can be the most amazing experiences you'll ever have... If everyone was able to lucid dream, the world would be a much happier place.
-StayLucid - Subduction, on 06/04/2009, -0/+4God, please do not let my girlfriend see this.
- keenkumar, on 06/04/2009, -0/+4Alright, so before I sleep I'll think "Megan Fox Megan Fox Megan Fox..."
- Stoke, on 06/04/2009, -1/+5Good dream recall is key in learning how to lucid dream, and lucid dreaming is awesome. Seriously, everyone owes it to themselves to learn how to do it.
- commulction, on 06/04/2009, -2/+5Speak for yourself. Hasn't had an effect on me.
- BaphClass, on 06/04/2009, -1/+4He might be on to something. The only thing I can recall about my dreams when I've been smoking is that they are really, really ***** up.
- commulction, on 06/04/2009, -0/+3Dream landscapes are so cool. Last night I recall being in an awesome waterpark with a floating inflatable jumping castle full of polar bears drifting next to me on the lazy river. Everyone was like, "That's so cool!" as the bears roared and swiped at the nets trying to get out and kill people. ^_^
- Sil369, on 06/04/2009, -0/+3holy crap dinosaurs and ppl really did live together one time
- censormagnet, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2whats harold from harold and kumar doing there?
- soez, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2Normally I only remember random pieces of my dreams, not all of them.
- inactive, on 06/04/2009, -1/+3In my experience, pot only seems to help dreaming.
- bellerina22, on 08/10/2009, -0/+2i dream of u jesse ;)
- RatatRatR, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2I kept a dream journal real seriously for a year or two. First I just wrote 'em down. Then eventually I started keeping a tape recorder by the bed and dictating 'em. Then, in the morning, playing the tape and typing out the dreams. My recall got so good that sometimes it'd take an hour or two to write it all out! (I didn't have to be to work until the afternoon.) Eventually I let it go, and now I'm back to barely remembering any of my dreams. But I have some pretty huge dream files saved on my computer, and there were some fantastically *****-up dreams in there, so it was definitely worth the effort.
- kaosethema, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1they wore togas, i could see them from behind a chain-link fence... i looked over my shoulder and saw a figure in shadows hurling something over the fence. i looked back in time to see the toga-figures vanish behind a sharp explosion.
i looked down on the ground and saw what appeared to be a mask. upon closer inspection, i realized that it was not a mask but the ruined skull of one of the toga figures.
i remember the dream vividly... however, i don't remember, now, when i had that dream. - roderpol, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1Here you go guys: Why Dreams Mean Less Than We Think http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,188 ...
- jamiecarter, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1I only vividly remember one dream.. i was being chased by dogs and fell down a huge hole.. then the whole wake up before you hit the bottom scenario..
freaky! - IsraGeek, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Good advice!
- Thebruce88, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Somehow I doubt that dreaming is "random". It might appear to us that they are, but that is just an interpretation of a consciousness that is really only exists because of the complexity of the human mind. What we see in our dreams is not 'random', but I'm sure actually has a purpose, but our (largely shut off) mind cannot discern it.
- Sirocco, on 06/04/2009, -1/+2Well, yes and no. The people and places you encounter are random bits your subconscious has pulled from your very recent memory, which is why occasionally you'll be thinking about a certain place or person during the day, and suddenly they will be in a dream that night.
The situations being played out in your dreams -- that's what is significant. Take away all the random weirdness and you have dreams about how you approach and overcome various situations that your subconscious feels are relevant to your survival. Which is why when you're a kid you dream about scary monsters, and as you get older (and you've acquired some survival skills) your dreams turn to more social aspects as you try to adapt to an ever changing society.
Dream analysis goes bunk as soon as you go any deeper than that. - stonebear, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1People so often act as though their dreams were somehow separate from themselves. It depends entirely on how you feel about your dreams. Your subconscious wakes you up when it wants your conscious mind to remember a dream. If you genuinely want to remember your dreams, your subconscious will be more willing to do that; though it will not jeopardize your health by waking you after every one. I recently had one that included a figure repeatedly commanding me to remember something, and I awoke immediately afterward. I still remember it. If you want to learn from your past lives, then your subconscious will begin to reveal fragments which are related to your present life experience in dreams. I have recently formed a strong desire to do so, and my dreams have taken a sharp historic turn.
- inactive, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Nicotine patched help....
- jesseshort, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1its easy, just make it a habit, when you wake up actually try to remember your dreams and what happened. instead of how to hide the smell of weed and hooker spit you have all over you..
with this tip alone soon you can have dreams that are rich in meaning, like polar bears on a lazy river or a Trex eating a whale. usually i just dream of chicks... but i guess im the odd one out here. - sdipaola, on 06/04/2009, -1/+1there is one unpopular but science based theory that we do not have dreams (or I should say we only create in real-time them on thinking back) - that is at night at REM - we have something ( brain firings and such but nothing like a real world narrative) - but it is only on a certain type of waking up that there is some awareness and memory of that something - at that point the reasionng part of your brain - whose job it is to make sense of things for you no matter what based ont eh sensory data - starts putting together (with your consciousness input) - the best interpretation of this non narrative something could have be in waking man's term. This is why you are always constructing the dream you had - you are creating from bad data on the fly. yes - not very poetic I grant you but very plausible.
reply if you are interested in sources. - censormagnet, on 06/04/2009, -1/+1i always have badass sci-fi dreams with robots and advanced technologies, and time travel
- FSUMole20, on 06/04/2009, -0/+0I genuinely wish I could forget the dreams I have at night. My dreams feel so vivid and real that it just feels like hours and hours of more "life" happening, as opposed to the sleep I was hoping to get.
- tandjk, on 06/04/2009, -0/+0i disagree, waking up abruptly, such as from a nightmare or alarm clock, helps make dreams easier to remember than slowly waking up
- soniapaul, on 06/17/2009, -0/+0Nice Advice...I try often but don't suceed!
- BigSmallMan, on 06/04/2009, -1/+0I had a dream once.
- Rev0lver, on 06/04/2009, -5/+2facepalm.gif
- roderpol, on 06/04/2009, -6/+1INTERPRET them more clearly? Excuse me?! Your dreams mean ***** all! Random neurons firing... trying to give them meaning is on the same level as goddamn horoscopes...
- MMusick, on 06/03/2009, -14/+5Here's a hint. Don't smoke pot.
