If this is true, I'll have you know I'm an expert in fighting leprechauns and making sweet monkey love to Jessica Alba.
If I dreamed I was a taco. Does that mean I am mentally preparing my self for taco reunification?!

Oh wait thats DnD.
There is no actual theory to what dreams are. In fact, there are only three really solid theories that people believe in.
1. Dreams are nothing. They are just neural impulses that your brain tries to make sense of with words or pictures.
2. Dreams are a way of entering you unconscious mind, seeing what you truly don't 'know'. (which was Freudian, I believe)
3. Dreams are a way of viewing and altering the past as you'd like, to ultimately fake yourself into being someone else in your dreams. Or, in laymans terms, a reflection on what you have done that day, or in the past at some point in time, and seeing what you would have otherwise wished.
Truthfully, I believe the Freudian method of dreams, that they are just a way of seeing into your unconscious. (the unconscious mind is so damned interesting!)
I wish I could at least remember my damn dreams.
Then keep a dream journal.Quote:

If I could find an article, I'm pretty sure they'd be able to explain it better, but I'm too lazy at the moment...
Blasphemy! :eye:Quote:

Like that one time I was eating ham and I woke up to get some ketchup and realized it was a dream. Pissed me off.
No when you wake up. When you get up in the morning write your dream down. It works great.Quote:

if i was up instantly in the dark by myself, ill remember the last part of my dream. if i dream that i was in a castle, and then i appear in a bunny place or w/e, then ill remember the bunny place
if light, alarm, or som1 else wakes me up, ill forget it right away
