Magnesium glucinate, not the kind for constipation.

When a teenager and had a secret love (like Doris Day) I would wake up from a lovely dream and then go right back to sleep and pick up the dream where I left off.

 

Now when I do remember a dream upon waking up, it is amazing that bits and pieces of the previous day were woven into the dream.

@SilleeMee I remember taking that with Calcium citrate and K2 although I dont remember how much of each.  I don't remember it having any effect on my sleep though.

The dreams about trying to get to class tend to stay with me for about half a day.

Twice I was trying medicine that the doctor wanted me to try and these two dreams produced true terror in me and I remember them to this day.

A "falling" dream repeated over and over during childhood.

Just this morning before I was fully awake indreamt an INTRICATE dream about starting a classroom program at school like a "play economy" (have been retired 9 years) and this went on and on and on and even waking up going back to sleep wouldn't stop it!

I think it's fascinating when I can actually remember a dream.  Even then, it's gone after a few days. 

 

There have been dreams that I'm happy to have awoken from, but none that have frightened me after the fact.  That would be strange.

I always dream in color and remember my dreams in vivid detail.  And I've even had some dreams through the years that are the same thing repeated.  In my sleep I've been known to think "Oh...it's this dream again!"

 

And I've had times when I've woken up, gone back to sleep and picked up the dream from where I left off.

 

I found it interesting one time to read that, if you "die" in your dream, you really will die.  Well, that's not true, because I've died in my dreams many times.  Weird, but true.  And it's always that I've drowned in some kind of engineered water - like a reservoir or near a massive dam, never a natural body of water.  I swear I drowned in an earlier life!  Woman Surprised

 

(I've had those dreams of drowning from a very young age.  As I said, weird.)

After having the same dream over and over again where I have an exam scheduled but I never went to class; never got the textbook; don't know where the exam is being given, I finally told myself:  Enough of this nonsense !

 

Next time that dream starts up I will tell myself Stop it right there, it's over and done with tonight !  It works for me since then.

 

The dream I hate is where I am working on a career seminar day-long project and no one is interested; the materials to be used never arrived; and I must complete a resume for each person by day's end.  I wake up exhausted as though I had actually experienced the scenario.  

 

Come to think of it, I did handle situations like this in real life.  I feel angry because I " worked " all night without being paid for it. Lol....

 

Only once did I have a terrifying dream filled with violence directed at one family member.  I had taken the first dose of a medication and when I talked with my PCP next morning she said to stop it....this was a possible side effect to the medication.    

 

Interestingly, that member was deceased and had caused so much pain and hurt to everyone around her during her lifetime.  I totally understand why she figured into that dream.

@LTT1  I've heard other people say they frequently dream that they're falling.  Very interesting!

Occasionally I have a dream that I'm falling and then I suddenly wake up.

I have had nightmares so terrifying, that my own SCREAMING wakes me up.     (I always wonder if the neighbors heard me.)
