I have three dreams that I distinctly remember:

I have an alarm clock whose "horn" function is impossible to discriminate from the tornado alarm down the street. Often I would wake up because I was running from a tornado, or taking pictures of it, whatever, as a result I had alot of tornado dreams.

I had a dream the other day where I was a work, I knew were everything was, how to do every thing, just like a normal day. Except one problem... I didn't recognize anyone! I was nice and introduced myself, and never wondered why I didn't know anyone.

Furthermore, after awaking and recalling the dream, I realized everyone I talked to was someone I knew in real life. Weird.

I've also had a dream like everyone does at one point in which I was falling. However, I hit once. I was about 12, and it scared the CRAP out of me. I've never been so scared in my life! I woke up shaking, and feeling my self to make sure I was still there. I was.

Interesting stuff...

I had a dream over winter break that I showed up at my school (a private school with uniforms) in a T-shirt and jeans and got kicked out of class, but they wouldn't let me on the bus and my parents couldn't pick me up, so I ended up living in a shed. Odd...

I think that it's interesting that in our dreams such strange things happen, and we don't question them. You wake up wondering why the hell you didn't notice anything was off, but in the context of the dream, you knew it was true. This often happens with people in my dreams. I know who they are in my dream, but when I reflect back on it after waking up, I realize they were nothing like (physically or mentally) the person they were supposed to be.

I've been ill with the "Man flu" and had a lot of bizarre dreams that I put down to running a high temperature. Last night, I dreamt that I got sucked into the new computer I just finished building, and the Linux penguin was chasing me around a giant desktop covered in windows full of *nix gibberish, and trying to kill me. It was a pretty big penguin too.

I agree. Sometimes I wake up and think, wtf?

I can remember another dream. I got invited by some D&D friends to join their game. Things were going fine and then the DM tells me, "Half a dozen rats have jumped out and surrounded you!"

"Okay, I'll attack the nearest one with my rapier."

"Nothing happens."

"What?!" I demand. "I haven't even rolled any dice yet!"

The DM shrugs his shoulders. "The rapier doesn't do anything; rats are ethereal." Leaving me completely confused, he goes into a detailed explanation of why your typical rat is actually an ethereal being. Another friend interrupts and points out the subtle flaw in his argument and then another joins the debate and pretty soon it's way over my head, and very heated.

I just sit back and think, "Surely if I skewer the rat it would do something..." Then I woke up.

Anybody ever have dreams after doing something all day? For example, about a month ago I dug holes all day, and got absolutely no rest that night because I was digging in my dreams. I woke up all tired.

That happens to me way to often. Usually I will be working on some computer/hobby/whatever and then just not be able to stop thinking about it. Sometimes during the summer I just get so fed up with it and end up going back to work on it, but then it screws up my sleep cycle and things just get horrible until I force myself to get my ass out of bed at like 6am so I can fall asleep at a decent hour

My dreams tend to be very rare (or I fail to remember most of them)...

Memorable events:
- dreamed that I was walking backwards involuntarily... then I was inexorably drawn to walk backwards onto a quiet road, at which point I got hit by a car.

Following a night where I scored a MAX038 in a game of poker,
- I had a dream where I was playing poker in a casino, and won an AUD$20.00 chip; I looked up the price of the discontinued MAX038 chip on Digikey to find it was USD$23.70 :P way off, hehe

After a random day where I was around some pretty gurls who didn't want to talk to me,
- I dreamed of some pretty gurls who absolutely loved talking to me, gave me email addresses and phone numbers, but disappeared when I offered them a goodbye hug... ^^ AND i couldn't remember the numbers/emails...

After another random day when I got my third 240V belting across the chest (and hopefully my last),
- I had a strange dream where a giant fat noisy arc somehow started between the back of my hand and.. something else... started engulfing my fingers, I ran away from whatever it was, but the arc wouldn't extinguish, I felt totally helpless and pathetic, and awoke quite scared..

That's probably ~20% of what I can remember... the rest is very much waaay too weird to even bother posting... can't even squeeze any psychoanalytical interpretations from them :P

... you can't get any psycoanalysis from that?

On an almost related note, have you met the TC loving punk-rock girl?

... I drempt about damn small linux the other night. For some reason all my computers were totally fried except for a pentium laptop I picked up a year ago sans HDD. And naturally, I was in dire, world-saving need of a terminal. DSL to the rescue!
... except I am a total linux noob, can barely work my way around a terminal, and am pretty sure the BIOS wouldn't have let things boot without an HDD, whether it was strictly needed by the pen-drive OS or not.
Still, beats the feaver dream I had where I was an international border made of liquid gallium, and couldn't move without setting off a war between the US and UK. That would have to be the weirdest dream I've ever had-- hurray for temperature-induced delerium!
