Does women dream more often than Men? all I know is that I dream quite often, last night I dreamt that I was shopping, I like to have good dreams, then I was talking to my Granddaughter, I picked her up, yesterday, and we were talking she said Grandma, I dreamed about my daddy, I told her that is good, did you have a good dream about him? By the way my son is deceased, he was in a car accident 8 yrs ago. she told me that he was talking to her telling her I am sorry that I can't be here for you! I thought that was kind of sweet for him to say that, I think she understood. I dream about him from time to time, and I am always happy to see him. what kind of dreams do you have, do you dream about your decease family? or someone that is close to you? I am just curious? Thanks Marcie, have a wonderful week-end!

If you are asking about the dream at sleep, then I will say I dream almost daily. I can also say, I dream whenever I go to sleep, in the afternoons or at the nights.
But if your question is about Dreams of life, then I do have some dreams, not too many, of which some I have already achieved and some yet to be done, with lot of plans for them in action currently. I dont think the women dream more than the men or vice versa. Dream is common to human kind.

Some dreams warn you about different things in life, it even warns you about you future.

It is unpredictable. When I am in happy mood, when things go well in planning of my projects, that night I get into bed with lots of thinking on the project. That day I get the dream. Similarly when I am in bad mood too, when I am thinking about all the bad things that has happened to me, that night I get a dream. So it is not in our hands to get the dreams.

A lot of times you you tink hard about something and it is worrying you you will dream about it. I can't concentrate on somwething before I go to bed, and I will dream about it. sometimes I get answers from my dreams. no joke. I can dream things and it actually happens.

I tend to dream about things that will happen. I have dream that my hubby was going to be fired and one week later he was. That kind of thing. I do dream some other stuff however mostly it is things that at some time will happen, and that is hard to figure out when it will be. Would be nice to be able to pinpoint the events, so far that has been too hard. When young I was afraid of it and would change things during the remembering. Now I count it as being on track and it reassures me.
I think the son/dad is communicating in the dream to the daughter and you. That is the easiest way normally.
I hope you have a terrific weekend also.

I only dream when i sleep light, but i am usually a heavy sleeper. These past couple of days, i am frequently visited by dreams, sometimes i wake up and try to sleep again to continue it but it never continued. if i dream again, it would be another kind of dream.
The other day, i woke up shaking my head. I dreamt of my former boss. in that dream i was working in my new job and suddenly she was also transferred to that new company and we were working together again. The thing is that one of the reasons i quit my previous job was because i do not like my boss and now in my dream she seemes to be following me around.
This morning i dreamed i was to go on a mountain climbing trip with my crush. hahahha i like this kind of dream. I hope i only get to dream happy or romantic kind of dreams. =)

Yes I know what you mean, I read your common that was funny about you getting another job and your old boss was there. I have this dream book that tells you about your dreams, I am going to look up the dream you had and tell you what it means I will be back a little later like in about 15 mins. I am cleaning up the house and doing some more things around the house, but I will be back!

I dream practically every night. However, I don't always remember my dream unless I set out to remember them.

I dream almost every night, usually because I fall asleep with music or the TV on, to drown out noisy neighbours, and the dog barking. I have weird dreams, whether it's hearing the song in the background in my dreams, or actually being involved with the news story playing in the background on MSNBC.

I think women do dream more than men. I say this because most men are having trouble with sleep. Most of them are suffering from insomnia, not like us women who can sleep the minute we put our heads on the pillow! Just joking, actually. Well, to me I often have dreams. I have dreamed that my father has passed away, but actually in reality he is healthy. I cried that morning and felt so scared but thought again, heck it was just a dream. I've also dreamed about stupid and out of the ordinary things, but again it was only a dream and dreams are supposed to be that way. Once I dreamed about my grandmother who had passed away. She came to me, and said something sweet and told me that she loves me very much. She told me not to worry because she is in good health and is in heaven. After the dream I feel happy and I guess it is one way for us to contact a deceased person. I wish you a very happy day, and happy posting!

I tend to dream most nights, but usually only remember them rarely. There is only one dream I actually remember and it was almost a nightmare. I am not sure what movie I watched the night before but the dream included King Kong. I ended up with a group of people who were trying to capture him, I think I was only 10 or 11 at the time.

I dream a lot, all kinds of dreams. One dream that really freaked me out was I was at a party at my grandma and grandpa's house. I have lost them both, my grandma in 1969 and my grandpa in 1988. I dreamed this just about two years ago and I still remember it plain as day. I even described relatives that was in my dream that I have never met to my mom and she knew who they were. I even told her about this one man how he was dressed and he put a quarter in my hand. My mom told me this was someone they didn't even have pictures of, but he was a great uncle to my mom, and always gave kids quarters. She said she never told me that, so how did I know to dream that? And the way he dressed, and they party stuff...kinda makes me wonder what your book would say about that.

Its not just women, even men dream. Men's dreams are all about women...lol
I too dream as everyone since i'm a normal human being. My dreams are only about thing which are possible and achievable. I don't have dreams like becoming a billionaire within one month or winning a lottery or something like that which is out of reach and have less chances of taking place.
Its usually like improving my financial status, becoming successful in life, becoming famous etc.
Happy dreaming and posting:)

Everybody dreams, every night. Dreams happen when you are in REM sleep. As you fall asleep and continue to sleep, your brainwaves go through different frequencies. It's when you go into REM sleep that dreams occur.
You dream because unlike your conscious mind, your subconscious is active 24 hours a day Your subconscious produces the dreams, it's your minds way of coping with all that is thrown at it, including abstract ideas.
You usually remember dreams only if you move into a lighter brainwave or if you wake up slightly.
Al sounds very clinical, but dreams are a very necessary part of sleep, without them we would struggle in the waking world.

Well it really depends on how good or bad or stressful is your day. But men usually dream on naughty things =)

I get many kinds of dreams.When i was young i was always terrified after watching some horror movies or listenning to any frightenning incident or ghost stories.so while sleeping i used to have bad dreams and my mom said that sometimes i wake up and start crying and shout for the lights to be switched on and request my parents not to switch it off.They said only after they know that i have slept they switched off lights.After that i was never allowed to watch any dreadful movies during night times.
Nowadays i get dream about friends and family members .Sometimes iam unable to recollect the dream and remember only half of it..Once i saw my grandma in my dream whom i have seen when i was a kid and hardly remember her face and she is no more now.
