Have you ever had a dream that you could not explain in words?

That means you have very vivid dreams..I have the same problem, though my dreams are not so pretty for me to wish to talk about them, rather weird to say the least. The interesting part is, like you've said, when I think about them, picture them in my mind, I know exactly what it's about and what it means...but there is no way I can write them down. Maybe if you really want it, you could try to write down all the motives in your dream first, people,surroundings, your emotions or what ever that was going on and was in your dream. Put down as many as possible and in order in which they've appeared. That way you might be able to connect it and express it.

Interesting question Anita....

No don't want to lie and say I've experience what you've experience...which is probably a very rare phenomenon (maybe happens 0.001% if I were to take a guess). I have experienced though many a times I've dreamt something, woke up, and can't remember exactly what all I've dreamt (that you know as well as I do happens with a higher frequency).

Yeah, dreams fascinate me....I mean we're talking about the unconscious here. In regards to your question about someone feeling autistic, my personal opinion on this (though it will vary) is most likely not. I mean the fact they have prominent dysfunction in their communicative abilities, I don't think they would not want to try to explain it to anyone else. (not sure if that was what you were asking) Nonethess, they are so fascinating aren't they - it's like their entire reality/realm is seems a dream-world in itself to the non-autistic individual :-)

Yes, it's happened to me. A lot of my clients have reported the same experience.

It's not an autistic phenomena.

have you ever tried to describe being in love? Or your sadness at losing someone to death? Much of human experience cannot be captured in words ... that's part of the reason why art (including poetry) has developed.

Don't sweat it. It's not an autistic phenomena.

If you want to play with your dream, do something creative to express it ... draw ... paint ... dance ... act ... write haiku.

good luck!

I had that happen to me once a long time ago. I can still remember it very vividly. I can see the dream, and I can still remember the emotions it evoked. But, for the life of me, I can't find the words to describe it. When I woke up, I just remember the powerful emotions I felt. It was just overwhelming. I've only had that happen to me once. Glad to hear that I'm not the only who has had that happen to me!

Dreams are often hard to put into words or what they mean to you.

yes it has happened to me it was something about candy land.

This wouldnt happen to an autistic person. evveryone does it

yeah!!! it was soooo wierd...it was like.. 4-5 dreams coming at once....

that kind of dreams occur when you sleep with mixed, uncomfortable feelings.

yeah have a dream to be a prime minister.

never happened to me.. wel.. sort of..

the difference was that i tried to explained but no one get it. :(
