Dreams

I have had prophetic dreams, but never anything of importance, just trivial bits of a conversation or an event in my life of no obvious significance.
I have also experienced waking up in deep sleep paralysis (very scary) usually from a bad dream.
I have trouble remembering most of my dreams, but there are portions of some that I still remember years after I had the dream. (Even some from my childhood)

you can teach your self to remember your dreams. i have.i started about 15yrs ago intertainging my freinds by recoleceted dreams. what i waoud do then is to delve into my subconcious, seting my brian to narate befor hand and give in rivvating detail a dream that i may or maynot have had. wanteing better acuracy because it was darn distrating to pause mid snetance to agrue with my self over the probability of my next sentance, i started remembering them in reverse right after i woke up. then i have to put them back together forwards. wich leaves alot of room for discrepancy when you think that befor i can type it all out for my dream diary thread i have to remember it twice. first backward then forward.

everyone is welcome to read my dream diary btw its over in stories and rp as Candles Short Stories

Aye...I wish I was anythin' more like that.
It can take me countless hours to fall asleep and then I'm almost guaranteed to wake up within two hours...I can usually get back to sleep pretty fast, but I'll still wake up soon after again. Screws me over 'cuz I can never really get into a deep sleep for very long; makes me permantaly tired; also means I spend a lot of time rememberin' my dreams.
I honestly don't know the last time I managed to sleep 8 hours straight.

They did an experiment on that, to try and put some science behind that; they reckon that there's a selective memory effect on a large series of random dreams, some of them tend to wind up bein' similar to later real life events and the mind remembers a dream, thinkin' that it was a prediction.

Although, this probably summarised it pretty well.

Another experiment gave subjects a fake diary of a student with apparently precognitive dreams. This diary described events from the person's life, as well as some predictive dreams and some non-predictive dreams. When subjects were asked to recall the dreams they had read, they remembered more of the successful predictions than unsuccessful ones.

My sleep problems aren't so much of an issue as long as human society crumbles, but while they expect me to be able to do anythin' routinely I'm in trouble (ever heard of non-24 hour syndrome?) and then sleep deficiency on top of that to make sure I don't ever feel awake, and then a problem on top of that that no doctor I've ever spoken to will even acknolwedge exist.

Dream diary...iunno....my dreams disturb me at the best of times; I don't see much entertainment from them, only intrigue. The act of dreamin', the cause and differences are a mystery to me, and get me curious, but my own personal dreams I try not to think about too much.

mine were horably disturbing befor i started my diary. they have calmed a bit since then and i lash out at ppl randomly less and less. not because i understand my dreams any better, not because writing them gave me magical insight into how to sleep better. i still stay up till 2 then get up at 7 on a regular basis.
the first night or two my subconcous seemd to suffer, for lack of a better term, stage fright, then kicked back into its normal crazyness and when my friends helped me laugh off what i had dreamed, as friends are wonderfully good for, no matter how bad they have been since they seem easer to deal with
