holy hell, keep this thread going! I had no idea I liked hearing about other people's dreams so much, but almost every post in this thread gave me chills.
I usually don't remember my dreams at all, but I speak in my sleep too. I've no idea what I say, but from my girlfriend's explanation it seems to be things I'm thinking about right before I sleep (tests or work to do the next day, etc..)
Analog: Your story especially freaked me out, because I'm deathly afraid of the dark. If someone was laying there next to me kept saying that I'd be so fucking scared.. especially after you the killing part. God daaaamn.
As for the sadistic mutterings, they say that (for the most part) dreams are imagery and concepts acquired/thought about during the day, being reprocessed for storage into permanent memory in your brain. Do you find youself subduing anger often, during the day? Not murderous anger, just anger? Seems like it could manifest itself as physical reactions such as stabbing and killing, etc..
I really really wish I could remember my dreams. The last two, though.. I remember being "consious" dreams. They seem to occur most when it's a midday nap or when there is stimula nearby that keeps me semi-consious. I'm in a dream, but about 1/2 way through I "realize" that its a dream and start to control it. I really wish this happened more often, becuase its quite interesting when you're like .. hey.. I wonder what would happen if I did *THIS*... I know in my last dream, I was just like hm.. this is a dream, I'm not really drowning under this submarine. I wonder what would happen if I changed my dream and drilled a hole into the bottom. So I did, and the dream compeltely evolved from there. Anyone else have "consious" dreams.. ? I know there's a specific word for it, too..
