Sometimes I have a really strange dreams. Or it seams like a reality or it some kind of thoughts of a madman or a crazy person. Do you belive that dreams can mean something? Our dark thoughts... our future (when we have to decipher our dreams)...

Our dreams have meanings. Some could be warnings of what might happen in the future.

I believe if we think strongly about something so strongly then we will have dreams about it too

Not sure why we do dream. Dreams do have a meaning.

@kevin1877uk It was the job of your ex-partner or only a hobby?

I have really crazy dreams. I remember a lot of them. Some, I write down. I used to have a dream journal but I can't find it. Maybe it flew away to dreamland. Yes, I think some dreams mean something. Other dreams are the pepperoni pizza talking.

When I was younger, I had a book of dream interpretations and every times when I remembered my dreams I was looking for some explanation :)

Dreams are actually the activities of our sub conscious brain

I had a bizarre one the other night that involved steampunk airships, which I'm positive was inspired by a thread I was reading on another forum. A lot of users were discussing the original poster's steampunk tattoos, and she shared pictures of the airship she has inked on an arm. It was also the day I received a mousepad I ordered from another myLotter's Zazzle shop. The mousepad features the Santa Monica pier and its Ferris wheel, and the dreamy color scheme inspired the color scheme that appeared through my dream. For some reason it also featured characters from Jim Butcher's most recent steampunk novel, which I haven't read since just before it was officially released. I think it's safe to say that popped up from my subconscious after the discussion about airships and steampunk-themed tatts... It's bizarre how our minds can take things like that and mix them up so thoroughly!

It also happens to me! So funny x) Especially when I read a book or watch TV before go sleep. It has to be something that inspire me, I think... And when in a dream you see people who don't even know each other, but they are talking like friends. Very confusing...
