Is anybody else as interested in dreams as I am? I've always found them so fascinating. Has anybody ever had a dream within a dream? I have. I've had a dream, then dreamt that I woke up from that dream and wrote about it in my journal or told somebody about it. I've even had a dream within a dream within a dream.

Has anybody ever realized, within a dream, that they were dreaming? I've done that all the time. When I used to go to school, I'd often have a dream that I was in school, then suddenly remember (while still in the dream) that it is the summer, so I shouldn't be in school and am therefore obviously dreaming. Has anybody ever actually tried to pinch themselves to see if they'd wake up? I actually have a few times. I've realized I was in a dream and thought to pinch myself. Suddenly, I feel a dull sensation of a pinch on my cheek and wake up, being the only person in the room, so obviously nobody else woke me.

Ever have a REALLY awesome dream, but then almost completely forget it by the time you wake up? That just happened to me last night. I had a really cool dream that I know I'd have loved to have written down and remember forever, but by the time I woke up, I couldn't remember anything about it except a few vague, minor details. DAMN IT!

Anybody ever have something from the real world influence your dreams? Again, back when I went to school, I'd sometimes be in a dream at school, and in reality, my alarm would go off to wake me up, but in the dream, the alarm would become the school's bell.

Experts often say that dreams have meanings. If mine have meanings then I am probably completely insane, because I have the WEIRDEST dreams. The weirdest one I can recall off the top of my head included me traveling through space by sitting on a small rocket resembling a missile and landing on a haunted moon with a ground the consistency of pudding. What in the Hell could any of that crazy crap have meant?
