The kind that you index and remember later on for no noticeable reason.
And I thought I'd put this in here since I always wake up from these in a dead mood (or a mood that I have no idea how to recreate and haven't), I didn't want to discuss the spiritual aspect all that much. Unless it helps.
BTW, you can skip the small text if you don't care about my dream.

I had this dream last night that my sister, my mum, my dad, and I were at this family or something get together at this trail. It looks like it was for hiking and it went around a lake. I remember someone offering me a sea doo for something. Then I or my dad asked if i could ride it on the lake, the guy (my uncle?) said it was illegal but they never checked anyways. And I saw a cop car driving up the trail to where we came in. And then I said "What's that noise?" and apparently it was an electric kind of sea doo. It sounded rattier. So I remember different things, like a whole bunch of us people sitting at the trail near where we came in and talking. I remember it clearly, which is strange. It felt like when I was a kind at summer camp and I didn't want to talk to anyone.

So I decided to walk home afterwards or something, I ended up walking anyways. I said it was Toronto, I had a map, and I was walking, something happened, I think I went into a convenience store. I was walking away from it or a gas station(?) when the cops pulled over. I had my head hung and my map pullod out and I could hear them rambling on, questioning nobody about what they were doing over the radio. I think it was their thoughts? So I walked down, following this map, down to this catwalk. So I go through to this street that has no cars and is only accessible through this catwalk. There's a fence blocking wherever the road would normally continue onto a street. There was a big wide-land road behind it, a race track or a highway or something, I don't know it was empty and it was like looking at it from overhead but slightly tilted.
The area was shaped like a capital E with curved corners and I was going to a house on the middle part sticking out. I can't remember what happened, but I went to the outer side of the road at the top curve to talk to somebody. I ended up going to the house across from it and witnessing this... fight among insects. And it was like a video game or something, overhead and such. So I leave but I can't get to the catwalk fast enough. I'm a fly and some other insects pick on me. So I start imagining myself trying to get away in a couple of ways. I eventually just start rambling on and woke up.
When I was waking up I couldn't clear my head. And I was stuck in a mood (still sort of am, but it could be that I'm watching Dark Corners full-screen in the dark.)

Usually I feel like I'm not paying attention to my real problems but this dream made me feel like I was smack in the middle of some area of control.

It was really vivid, even now. I don't usually ever have those dreams.
Does anybody else have these kinds of dreams?
Do they have a specific meaning pertaining to my mental issues?

And has anyone here tried lucid dreaming? I'm considering spending time practicing it since I t hink it could help considerably.

I had a dream the other night that i was on a bus wearing a short skirt and had really really hairy legs and everyone was laughing at me... Didnt put me in a mood, but it did inspire me to shave my legs when i woke.... Generally my dreams are horrid

I had a dream that I had a radio interview with Britney Spears last night, and my hair started falling out when the interview began. No joke. I woke up really paranoid.

I also drempt that my mother had a baby and I picked him up, but dropped him. When I dropped him I became instantly infertile. The next day I felt genuinely upset and un-feminine, because the dream had felt so real.

i love dreams where i feel insanely happy. usually, i'm scared out of my wits and trying to get away from something.

i'm taking a psychology class this semester that has a unit on dream analysis. my teacher mentioned lucid dreaming and said she doesn't think lucid dreaming has any substantial meaning if you don't already understand the metaphor of your dreams.


but anyway. i have dreams that put me into a mood almost EVERY night. it's really annoying actually because their so vivid that i'll get upset randomly during the day just thinking about one. most of the time i feel like my subconscious is trying to tell me something that i can't remember. it's pretty widely believed that everything in a dream is a reflection of self, but also that dreams are metaphorical and none of what happens should be taken literally. you should look into what different things mean. (even inanimate objects and small details will have meaning.)
