Oh, forgot about my dreams...

The only thing that makes me different than most people (in my opinion) is that I remember every dream I have, every night, and remember ones from when I was as small as 5 years old. I know everyone dreams, and most people remember some of their dreams, but with me, it's every single night, 2-3 dreams that I remember through the morning, and usually one that will stay with me all day. I can also alter my dreams while I am dreaming - I am aware that I am dreaming when I am dreaming. When I was a kid, I used to LOVE going to bed (quite opposite of most children!) because I knew that there was a whole other life awaiting me when I fell asleep. In high school, with all the teen-angst (you know, you think EVERYTHING is so important and life altering and serious - hahaha) I had dreams in which I died at the end of them - every dream I had I died. I could be frolicking in a field, and would fall off a cliff (and contrary to the old wives tale - yes you can die in a dream without dying in real life - dying in dreams is very possible). The worst thing about the "death dreams" is that I could feel the pain - whether being shot, falling off a cliff, being stabbed, etc - man, they hurt! So I learned to control my dreams, and that very very rarly happens anymore.

I've had 3 dreams that have come true - sounds very exciting, but they were actually about very dull topics. And it hasn't happened again in a long time. :(

Anyhoo, I'm thinking I should put down a short summery of my dreams here. I need an outlet. I also have the craziest dreams too - but after twenty-some years of listening to my daily dream report, friends and family are tired of it!

So, tomorrow if I have a dream worth mentioning, I will post it. Last night's dream was very dull (it had a mansion and the grandmother from the Waltons in it) so I won't post it. Usually they are much more fun. :)
