Saturday, 26 September 2020 23:131. Why do you think we dream?
I don't believe in the saying that you dream what you think about during the day, or it's your innermost desires, or what...
2. Do you tend to remember your dreams or forget them as soon as you wake up?
I do remember right as I open my eyes, but depending on what the dream was about, I'll forget as the day goes. Like, just this morning, I dreamt about one of my Boss' "off-work responsibility" association (some kind of charity thing), where a staff called Sam kidnapped my dogs. It was a bullshit of a dream because:
a) I have never seen anyone from that particular association/organization, as they are situated in Hong Kong
b) the few I've had email contact with, none of them are called Sam
c) dogs can't cross borders just like that, so I have no idea what a guy from Hong Kong kidnapping my dogs will achieve
3. Do you keep a dream journal and has it been productive in any way?
Nope.
4. Have you ever had a premonition dream?
There were various deja vu moments in life but I don't think any of them were from dreams....... not sure about that.
5. Do your dreams tend to be happy or more in lines with being a nightmare?
I've had a nightmare that I still remember, and I remember that I woke up in cold sweat and scared shitless, but other than that, most of my dreams are just weird and makes no sense. Just the other day, Facebook popped up a "memory" post that I made a few years back, I was complaining about a dream.
The gist of it is, even in my dream, I was able to correctly recite telephone numbers. People tend to mix up my number with another colleague's number (e.g. extension 1122 and 1222 that type of thing) and a caller was arguing with me saying that he's sure I'm someone I'm not. I guaranteed him that I know who he wants to contact and that definitely isn't me and I gave him the correct number. He goes and say "but that person is Mr. X's assistant!" And I had to reiterate "yes, and I'm not Mr. X's assistant, I'm Mr. Y's assistant, and you want to contact Ms. A, SHE is Mr. X's assistant!" And to prove a point I recited all Mr. X's, Ms. A's, Mr. Y's and my own phone numbers.
Of course, in real life, I wouldn't be reciting phone numbers to strangers, but I had to make a point in my dream.
