Are you a dreamer?  Do you remember your dreams?  Yes, and Yes.  In fact I have dreams from years ago that feel like memories.  I have gaps in my childhood and adult memories, yet these damn dreams stick with me.  Yeah, I’m a bit strange.  Or, am I? 

Lets jump into the Google rabbit hole of dreams. 

One of the search results was most common dreams and reoccurring ones. You can find the results HERE.  Falling is the most common dream and 38% of people said that their reoccurring ones started in childhood.  I have to raise my hand for both.  Though I found having glass in ones mouth a bit odd.  Of course, only 1.1% of people have dreamt that.  Ouch!

How about those lucid dreams?  The ones where you know you’re dreaming but can’t wake up?  WebMD states that half of people may have had one lucid dream during their lifetime.  What?  Really?  Cuz I’ve had them back-to-back before.  🤔 They also claim that people who have lucid dreams are more self-reflective and are always in their head stewing over stuff.  Yup, that’s me.  I’ve also had dreams within a dream within a dream.  Not sure where that fits into their studies.  😹

Let’s go down the rabbit hole a bit more with Shared Dreams. This is when you’ve shared a dream with another person.  Bob and I used to do that.  But, it was more me initiating the process than him.  I’d wake up and ask if he had a dream about such and such, and he’d be like, Yep.  I always knew when a dream I had was actually mine or one of his.  His dreams had a different element to them.  So cool and so weird.  Also, not a common ability and one that researchers in the USA scoff at.  Whatever.  I know what I know. 

Now, we’ve hit the bottom of that damn rabbit hole.  Boom.  Levitating while dreaming.  I can see people rolling their eyes at that.  People can’t levitate.  Well, yeah, we can.  I only remember one time that I levitated.  I was in a half sleep and slowly rotating in the air.  I felt the sheets moving across my body and also heard them as they rustled on the bed.  When I mentioned it to Bob that I thought I’d levitated that night, he said it wasn’t the first time and he’d just gently push me back onto the bed.  What?  I had no idea. 

At this point, I want to bring up that people who’ve experienced alien abductions also levitate during their sleep, but it’s not them doing it.  I’ve pondered this before as I’ve had other strange shit happen to me over the years.  

Because I am a prolific dreamer and some are so crazy, I started sleeping with Dream Amethyst Chips in my pillowcase to keep them a bit calmer.  They do seem to help, except during a full moon.  That’s another story.  LOL.  Do you dream?  Have you had any of the above mentioned ones?  Let me know in the comments.
