Monsters live under my bed, too.
Sometimes I'll space out, deep in thought, drifting to a deeper state of consiousness, and suddenly I wake up/snap out of it, and I can't remember what I was thinking about,
my subconscious begins to go to work on a sort of autopilot, and that's part of the reason I can't remember what I was thinking about is because my mind went so far on it's own that it began to think in such abstract terms that I couldnt understand it upon retrospection. It was like a different language.
What Purpose Do Dreams Serve?
...the leading position holds that dreams “help us process new, emotionally important information and add it to our conceptual memory system,” says Rosalind Cartwright, Ph.D,
...REM dreams link new events to old ones, putting them in context. For example, if you’re feeling anxious about your job, you may dream about another anxious time, like when you were taking a test in college. “It’s almost like the old card-catalog system in libraries,” says David Linden, Ph.D.,
...when scientists do brain scans on subjects during REM sleep, they find that the visual center of the brain, the dominant area that processes all the new information people encounter while awake, is shut down. The visual memory center, though―the part of the brain that stores images from the past, like what your childhood bedroom looked like―is in overdrive. This indicates that all the images we “see” during our dreams are being pulled from our memories, … It’s almost as if your brain is taking a new experience and flipping through the old photo albums in your memory to find out where it fits, which ultimately may help you better understand it.

Really? Wow... Hey why not make a thread detailing your experiences? Everyone here is really supportive and you don't have to fear some ignoramuses waltzing in and mocking you just because they aren't intelligent enough to come up with an actual, real response that would actually be useful to someone. I mean, sure, occassionally you might get one or two idiots with such empty lives that they really do have no useful skills of their own, and nothing better to do than to skulk about like a desperate scavenger, waiting for one of the hardworking folk who actually contribute to the site to slip up and leave an opening for a cheap stab out of nowhere even though they have done nothing to deserve it.
If anyone does bother you, just let me know and I'll make sure to let them know, and everyone else know, what a complete and total asswipe they are for taking a dump all over someone else's efforts.
Got your back, bro

Second dream was actually way more interesting. It has nothing to do with ufos or aliens. I accidentally can't hop off the train and lose my friends. They call me in my dream and ask about what happened how did you end up at another train stop. So here is the interesting part; as I answer the phone and hear the question I try to recall how I lost them, in the dream. I try to remember where I left them and how I ended up where I was. It was like a brain dreaming and another brain trying to think about the lost parts in the dream.

Great comment my friend. I usually walk in my dreams or fly plus walk on water. What about flying? =)
