Been having really bizarre dreams lately..

[bob smith]

last few nights my dreams have been, let's say, strange..

 

last night an old neighbor of mine (woman) was in my dream from back home, someone I haven't seen for almost 20 years.

I was in her garage.

she flashed me and had two dongs 

 

night before last I had a very violent dream..

lot's of blood and guts.

 

wonder what tonight will bring?

I will add that I have been off the sauce since Sunday, maybe that has something to do with it??

Since you’re off the sauce you’re probably getting better sleep, rem. Alcohol consumption deprives rem and a good nights sleep.

not sure about that..

 

tossing, turning, waking up in middle of the night and very disturbing dreams.

 

hopefully next week will be better, but I do plan on having a bottle of red over the weekend.

Sounds like you’re having dt’s. Maybe permanently lay off sauce will help.

Probably not a serious thread but just in case anybody who does open this thread for serious debate, I used to have horrific sleeping problems and dreams/night terrorrs.

 

I used to drink a lot of coke zero and sice I stopped, the frequency of such activity has reduced from several times a night/week, to once or twice a month or even less sometimes.

 

My best guess is that it's the caffine that was aggravating the issue*, so if you drink a lot of coffee or soda, particularly after mid day, try cutting that down.

 

*Yes it could be a reaction to another ingredient, which is why I used the word "guess".

Alcohol, meds, sleeping meds.

Because you quoted that line and that line alone, as opposed to focusing on the actual content of the post.

You've been talking about being with a man lately, and you're already with a woman, so maybe you want the best of both, and your neighbor with the two dongs represents a wish, which some dreams actually are.

I have dreams a lot of things in my distant past. People I used to go fishing with, old girlfriends, many places. It's crazy how much the brain holds and how memories come up seemingly out of nowhere. There are triggers that happen during the day which we might miss but are stored and come about in our dreams.

Hopeful your next dream will be about RSI and the need to quit typing immediately.

Your not alone bob, I get weird Vivid dreams almost every night, a lot about the work I used to do(car HGV mechanic) but, mixed in with the present, my car is always in them, looking for it, searching for someone in a crowd, (last night a music fest with someone adjusting like a horn screw to get the bass right-a young kid feeding another with a green jelly snake) that sort of thing. Last night; Living in a house in-under a huge sloping rock, wooden garage doors, people coming for dinner, the woman driving hit the garage doors, he gets out, and drives a mini, up the rock and over the house, gets out and says that's how to drive. 

This is how vivid they are I can remember them for hours.

Melatonin can give that dream effect ...

[TheFishman1]

Hey BOB, stop posting for a week and see if that will help TIT

[scubascuba3]

Don't forget caffeine has a 5 hour half life so avoid 10 hours before sleep otherwise sleep can be a little disturbed 

[Expat68]

Fractured my skull 4-5 years ago, since then I dream every night

[Purdey]

Sounds like a case of night terrors. Be careful as some people fall out of bed (happened to me) and you could hurt yourself.

You’re wrong about how half life works.  If half life  (50%) is 5 hours, the next 5 hours is half of half life, so 25%, next 5 hours you have 12,5% left of active ingredient, next 5 hrs you have 6.25% ingredient left in your blood stream.  
Easiest way to work out when you are totally clear from active substance is to multiply half life by 5.5.

Ouch! Geeee! How can you think that? Bobby always opens up, are sincere and tells the truth. I can not for my life understand what you got such silly thoughts from.

no he should NEVER post or comment again. Unless he can come up with something sensible instead of the never ending drivel that he does.

[spidermike007]

I always hesitate to respond to one of Bob's posts, as it likely just encourages his bizarre behavior. Dreams are a form of mental diarreah. The brain just goes wild and creates bizarre fantasies. I too have many incredibly strange dreams. I dismiss them. They are supposed to mean something, but I cannot make heads of tails out of them.

I'm wondering where that 5.5 rule of thumb comes from?

 

My handy dandy HP emulator says 0.5^5.5 leaves 2.209% of the substance in your body.  In another hour, it'll be 1.1%, which seems about the same, from a practical standpoint.

I'm guessing there's a source for that 5.5 number, but can you clue me in?
