i dream in pictures though, which is about the only time i think in pictures. i have dreams like movies, with storylines and endings. i never get those persistent dreams with messages, like climbing an endless hill, or running away from things, etc. mine never are that simple.

do you remember if you have really real dreams? not quite lucid, but detailed enough to taste, hear, smell - and totally experience it?

i used to run. or i used to see things like storms far off in the distance. or i'll have a continuation dream, where i am there at different times. an open marked field, houses being built, people living there, now abandoned, then really neglected with tree's growing through them... all different dreams at different years, from different views of the same place.

from my understanding, if you drown or fall in a dream, it means you have asthma, or sleep apnea - an odd tidbit.
