Do you remember your last dream?

I usually don't remember mine several hours later but I do today.

I was riding a bike, at one point going 60 mph, but I slowed down.
I turned down a street that was very shady with trees stretching from both sides of the road. and vines all over houses.
The houses were painted all different colors. I saw one that had colorful numbers on it.
I saw another house that was polka dotted and one that had each side of the house a different color.

I exited that street, nearly got stuck in the mud, then realized I lost my shoes lol

Tremendous dream. Lots of detail.

I remember most of them, maybe not the last. Though I remember several from over the year(s).
Mostly because they were significant to actual events in my life.
All pleasant, or uneventful, thankfully.

@SethGreene531 I remember some really vivid ones also. One used to give me chills thinking about it. When I was younger and would wake in the middle of the night, I had a habit of looking out the window. I actually still do this 🤷‍♀️I had a dream that I woke in the middle of the night, and was "led" outside for whatever reason to take out the garbage. I did so, then decided to get in my parents car, but there was like a demon thing in there that locked me in.

I can still see it, it was like part old lady, part demon thing with rollers or something in it's hair

@iamnikki Yeah, I'm still stunned how the mind can craft such vivid images---out of nothing.

That's a terrifying dream, especially for a child. And chillingly accurate in the evil spun to entrap you.
Not unlike a dream I had about my attic. The 1st and only time I've ever awoke yelling for help in a dream. I was an adult.

The car theme was also recurring for me all through childhood, except, I'd snuck out, climbed in the family sedan and got it going. The dream ends with me in the back seat staring out the rear window as it disappears down a hill.

@SethGreene531 it really is. I have had a theme of being trapped in plenty of my dreams. I now realize that it is mirroring how I feel about real life. Feelings trapped in "dead end" jobs. Feeling trapped working, paying bills, sleeping and repeating, feeling trapped with my emotions etc.

@iamnikki I'm sorry waking life is the real nightmare. Sleep should be the one place we can escape --if only temporarily.

But as they often do, dreams express our worst fears or ongoing angst, in technicolor.

Been having much the same lately, and it too mirrors reality. The trapped theme is really unnerving---hate those!

Sometimes introducing little breaks, or small spaces of breathing room (time for you) in your routine can start to curb the intensity of your stress, and thus intrusion in your dreams.

@SethGreene531 thank you, yes I'm learning how to just stop and breathe
