I rarely dream, but the dreams I have are vivid (or at least have been vivd recently). Sometimes I wake up and kind of fear they are true. They always involve me trying to protect someone I care about from something terrible happening, like an impending bus crash, or walking on a very narrow bridge and trying to keep balance, ...
What do you dream about? Do you ever have really cool/happy dreams?

When I was younger I had two reoccurring dreams.
The first was I could fly and everyone was amazed that I could fly. The thing that was always sad was that the dream was so vivid so when I woke up I'd be like 'Fuck... I really wish I could fly!'
The second was that I was driving a car and I'd drive off a cliff to my death.
I haven't had either since high school, so I guess they were brought on by high school angst? Who knows.
I haven't had many vivid dreams in the past few years. I don't sleep very well to begin with, I toss and turn and wake up at least have a dozen times in the night which could explain why.

Yeah, I had the flying dream only once in my life, and it was incredible. If that was a recurring experience for you, consider yourself lucky.
I recently dreamt of arriving at a huge Catholic church (I was raised Catholic), the biggest church I have ever seen. The interior was sort of a glowing fluorescent blue, similar to that movie Avatar. Other people are walking into the church with me. I don't really know them. That guilt-inducing organ is raining sombre music down upon us when a man pulls me aside and whispers to me, "we've been expecting you". Then I see a very dear friend from high school in a casket in the front of the church and I realise it is a funeral. The whole temporary nature of life fills me with despair, and I wake up. ???
I hate dreaming. lol
