Common elements of dreams?

I am now aware majority of the time that I am dreaming, my dreams are very vivid and in colour, though in the past instead of moving 3 D images it has been sometimes a moving images from a slide projector.

In my dreams, they now seem so much more realistic than in real life, I can touch the ground and feel the texture and whether it is cold or not. I can even feel the heat from the sun and smell the scents from the flowers.

The other day, I woke up from a nightmare and ran downstairs and I tried to switch the light on but it wouldn't work. I knew instantly I was dreaming and not awake even though everything around me looked identical (its the only thing I can't do in a dream). I can read text in dreams, but if I am trying to ring someone on the phone, the numbers will change each time I glance at them, or the phone doesn't accept coins but something else completely irrelevant.

I also dream of flying, sometimes if I am running away from some entity and I am in a field, a high barbed fence seems to block my way, so I fly instead to get over or to fly onto a building. The falling part of a dream is not my cup of tea, I am afraid of heights in real life, but in a dream it seems to be the only way to escape. I never hit the bottom but seem to avert danger at the last minute.

Sometimes regarding dreams I am finding it harder to distinguish from reality only that I am in sceneros which I cannot remember how I got there--so I must be dreaming.

Odd my morals are very similar as I cannot steal things in my dream without feeling a strong sense of guilt, but I can protect myself from being attacked LOL

I always dream in color. I never noticed of I could read text. I know that I'm dreaming a lot of the time, and when I do, I try to fly. I usually can fly, but sometimes I can't quite get up into the air. Or I can't go as high as I want. I usually wake up shortly after this happens. I have also noticed that a lot of times when I am having a dream, I will wake up, fall back to sleep, and the dream will continue. I have also had dreams that recur. They are not identical but they are similar. When I was a child I had a dream that I lived in a different house, and I would live in that same house in other dreams that I had months later. There was even a bald man in these house dreams that would resurface from time to time.

As for themes, I have dreamt about tornadoes since I was a child. Usually in these dreams I live in the house where I grew up, and my brother is always a child in these dreams, even though I'm an adult. I also have recurring dreams where AI am in Chicago or New York, and there are lots of casinos there, like in Las Vegas. I always win money in these dreams.

I always dream in full color. Most of the time, I don't know that i'm dreaming, but sometimes I do. I usually have a theme in my dream, like the other night, a big thing in my dream was a field. What that means can be interpreted differently. The images are normally clear when I'm asleep, but when I wake up and time passes, the images get blurry and fuzzy, and I start to forget them.

The ability to fly, things that don't talk in real life talk, you being with a person that you would normally not hang out with, etc.

The best way to tell if you're dreaming or not dreaming is, in your dream, to look at your watch or read something, look away, then look back at it. If it's different the second time you look at it, you're dreaming. It's worked every time for me, but the thing is remembering to do it while you're dreaming is very hard.

Also, about never realizing that you're dreaming. If you don't question in real life whether you're dreaming or not, why would you question while you're actually dreaming? You just go along with everything in real life, and so that's what you do in dreams as well.

There's not much difference between dreaming and reality if you really think about it. In fact, your brain sends signals to your muscles to do the things that you're doing in your dreams (but you're paralyzed while you're in REM), and so everything that you're dreaming is real... to your BRAIN. There are real physical effects on your brain while you dream.

The differences though I think are that strange things happen that don't normally happen, and yes, the overall feeling (once I remembered to check if I was dreaming because it "felt dream-like.")

Hope I helped! I think dreams are VERY interesting.

When i dream, it's always in full colour, it's always fully clear and not really distingushable from real life. I can read text in my dream, but as a rule i don't see too much of it.

For some reason i dreams i don't think about bizarre events that are happening, like me and my friends sat in a circle packing cereal into a blunderbuss, you just go along with it, so maybe the part of your brain that analyses what's going on is inactive or something.

For my dreams, id say they are always in haste. Nothing is calm, it is usually rushed. Once I had a dream where a big monster thing was chasing me and someone else and if i jumped then I could start flying for a short period, but he could also jump really high and he would chase me and stuff. My dreams are always tense and feel like situations where I'd be sweating if they were real. Also I always have these dreams where it seems like im falling and hitting the ground feels weird.

To have a dream that takes place at night, represents some major setbacks and obstacles in achieving your goals. There are some issues in your life that you are facing that are not too clear. You should put the issues aside so you can clear your head before coming back to it. Alternatively, night may be synonymous with death, rebirth and new beginnings. To see snow in your dream, signifies your inhibitions, repressed/unexpressed emotions and feelings of frigidity. You need to release and express these emotions and inhibitions. You may also be feeling indifferent, alone and neglected. If the snow is melting then it suggests that you are acknowledging and releasing those emotions you have repressed. You are overcoming your fears and obstacles. If the snow is dirty, then it refers to a loss in innocence, impurity and uncleanness. Some aspect of yourself or situation has been tainted.

I can dream on colors everynight.

I have experiences out body.
