I had the dreaded "Love" dream.

[maneth]

I haven't had a love dream at least that I can remember. But I very rarely remember my dreams, unless I wake up just after. However, I have had sex dreams, quite frequently in my early 30s when I had been single for 6 to 8 years and celibate for most of that time. I've also had a quite vivid "alien abduction" sleep paralysis experience. That freaked me out.

Sure, because there's a whole segment of the population that gets up in arms about fluoride, but I'm sure they'd be perfectly fine with this!

They'll thank us later. Profusely.

I had my share of those dreams when I was single and lonely. I clearly remember the feeling of being let down. It's very difficult. Hopefully things will get better and you'll find that special person. Have faith.

I had a dream where I helped an attractive Indian woman carry groceries from her car into her house, because I was there and she asked. Once inside, I saw she had geekery everywhere. We sat down and started a conversation about sci-fi and alternate history, and we slowly edged closer and it was REAL nice and then i woke up.

Much later I realized she was identical to M. Night Shamayalan’s character’s girlfriend in “The Sixth Sense” when they come into the jewelry shop.

I wonder what the twist would have been if it was one of his movies.

 

[RJDiogenes]

That it was her dream.

That sounds about right..... I watched The Happening the other night and the ending made me want to smash the TV

I had this exact dream last night in fact I just woke up from pt. 2 of it. I was deeply in love with a woman who looked like Megan Markel's mother (whose picture has been splashed around of late) only she was about 30. We were both in the army (which would never happen) and we were so happy! In part 2 which continued on after initially waking up and thinking about the dream we were traveling in Dubai together on holiday. It was lovely.

I dream about old girlfriends a lot.

I had a dream like this once. I was a dashing intelligence agent for the allies in WWII, and she was Eastern European. Then I met her again at the height of the Cold War, and she was an agent on the other side of the Iron Curtain. It just wasn't meant to be.

Sometimes I still miss her.

I got to wonder if the ole wet dream thing is even real or more myth.

Oh, it's real.

What you do is you drink a ton of water and go to bed. When you wake up, if you are wet, you had the wet dream. ;-)

 

[PureCrimson]

I always dream about either meeting someone new (I genuinely enjoy making new friends wherever I'm at), but it's usually always a female one.

Or I have dreams I'm already in something established with someone like that, which is nice.

Then I wake up and get bummed that it's not true to life. But recalling them throughout the day usually makes me feel pretty nice.

The Love Dream is nothing compared to the "I retired but here I am back in the office and my old cubicle is still available and they didn't remove my sign in and they expect me to get down to work and all the people I didn't like are hanging around" dream. I have been having those too often lately.

That sounds like anxiety. You get so used to routines, they get in your head. I have this dream where I'm supposed to get to the airport and haven't even packed my suitcase. Then I have to tidy the house before I leave and it turns into this impossible task and for some reason I have to get dressed up in an evening gown.

I would have a version of that dream a couple of times a year.

This kind of reminds me of the dreams my mom often has. She works in a kitchen and sometimes dreams that she is at work having to bake things. Then she wakes up and has to go to work for real. I often wonder if it has to do with the fact that she spent a good deal of time in the past having to work two jobs.

That redhead I dream about, I posted earlier happened again last night, only we were walking hand in hand and she had a stroller.

Considering how much I loathe the thought of children this is a nightmare

That's similar to my most frequent recurring dream theme, wherein I return to either Boston Medical Center or St. Margaret's or some dream-version mashup of the two. Not too surprising, I suppose, since I worked in hospitals for twenty-two years. I also often frequently return to my old houses in Dorchester and Weymouth.

And the really mean thing abut work dreams is that they usually happen in the weekends or during your vacation. I spent practically all of last weekend determining maggots.

As for wet dreams: they actually exist. Don't know whether that's typical but I usually wake up a bit too early.
Love dreams seem to me to be far rarer. But that might be a personal thing: about 95% of my dreams used to be nightmares which is why I developed the ability to instantly forget my dreams the moment I wake up. Only the really good or really gruesome ones stick in my memory. For some reason I mostly have murder mystery dreams lately - I should switch to childrens books or SciFi for a bedtime reading, I guess.

Oh dreams, how you toy with me.
Like the OP and others in this thread, I've had the love dreams. No one I know except one time it was someone I knew. I had always been attracted to her but after the dream, the knob got turned to 11. It was great until it became clear that I could never be with her. Took me a long, long time to get over that. In some ways, it's still with me 25 years later.

Most of the time, I don't remember dreams but when I do they are very odd. Not bad but very strange stuff.
One of the worst dreams I used to get when I was younger was the night my family came home from vacation. That first night back It would not be unusual to dream that I was still on vacation. The worst part was that moment when I woke up and realized that I was home. It's that same moment when you wake from a really good dream and realize its not real. Horrible

I’ve had a few love dreams and one sex dream that I remember. The love dreams suck, the sex dream was “wow”.

In fairness that pretty much sums up my take on reality....
