Ever since I was little, I always found dreams to be so fascinating, to "live" in an alternate universe where the laws of physics and normality don't apply, and I would share dreams I had openly. But people either don't want to listen or don't want to share their dreams. I want to know why other people aren't as fascinated by dreams as I am, or why people don't want to talk about them as openly as I do. Please no rude comments, I'm just curious if there is a reason why people keep their dreams to themselves.

Fear of social rejection, and ridicule is why. Dreams are very personal and can tell much about oneself. Some are not comfortable around being open, or being around open people.

Dreams contain your personal, thoughts and feelings, disguised through metaphor. To tell their dreams is to tell their inner most feelings.

I love my dreams, I dream every night, but I can't recall 90% of my dreams. Some are vivid and last forever.

The question is, how do I know if I can share my dream with someone? How do I know they will care or listen? I was never close enough to anyone. I do want to share my dreams, but I don't want to share them with people that don't care or don't feel as enthusiastic about dreams as I do.

I have always found dreams fascinating as well. I can still remember vaguely a few recurring dreams during childhood. I greatly enjoyed watching the movies Inception and Insidious because they related to my views on the subconscious. People also find me reminiscing about dreams odd. No one ever voluntarily tells me theirs either. Quite sad considering how much of our lives are devoted to sleep.
