I've been having very vivid dreams lately. I'm not sure why that is. Either I'm getting too much sleep (which seems impossible), or I'm being wakened during my REM sleep a lot, or else I have a lot of weird stuff on my mind.

The first one only a few people are going to understand, being that the subject is an inside joke between the Vogons (my campmates at Burning Man) about a cat. This is the one I was having Monday morning when I woke up:

I was in Los Angeles (an impossible location for this event to occur, given that none of the characters live there), sitting, maybe, on a bench, or perhaps crouched somewhere. I happen to look up at a deck as a Mexican man comes out and calls "Hector, Hector..." In my dream am surprised and pleased to actually be present for this notorious event. Then, from out of the next building who should appear but Chip (which is also strange because I think it was supposed to be Ford). Only I wasn't sure if it was Chip, so I called out "Here kitty kitty," and of course it turns out it was Chip! So in my dream I was happy to see Chip and to see the Hector Hector dude for myself. Weird dream, but cool.

Another dream, this one from earlier in the week, was about a guy named Michael who I dated way back in 1990 (no, that kind of dream!). Nothing unusual about this dream at all, given that I had dozens of variations of this dream between 1990 and about 1998. It was just a simple and fuzzy dream about meeting up with Michael and reconciling after all these years, getting closure, finally. It was nice. The only weird thing about it was that I hardly ever even think of him anymore, much less dream of him.

The next dream, thankfully, I don't remember at all. It was earlier last week, and I woke up from a very bad dream in the middle of the night. When I woke up I knew it was a terrible dream, and I knew that if I let myself fall back asleep I'd land right back in it (I do that sometimes, go back into the bad dream to try to fix it). So I had to actually turn on the light and make myself fully awake before allowing myself to go back to sleep. Thankfully, when I woke up the next morning, I couldn't remember anything at all about the dream, except that it had been very dark and bad.

So there must be some dream analysts out there. What do these dreams mean?

Wish I could help you with the analysis, but I don't know much about dreams. I've been having very vivid and often scary ones lately, too, though. Maybe it's something in the air...

Hmm. I can't analyze that one, but there are several dream encyclopedias online. I'd suggest you record the most prominent symbols in your dream, visit the sites, and look up the probable meanings. That always helps me.

I too have been having very vivid dreams. I actually came across this site because I was doing a search on what that could mean since I don't hardly ever dream and remember in such detail.

My guess is the same as Ailina. I don't know. I also found this site on a search trying to make more since of the variety of dreams I've been having lately.

as far as the dream with the guy goes , i had one similar to that, i used to date this girl in elementary school(yes elementary school)and just knew 2 years after that, into middle school and then i moved. And now im 20, but i all of a sudden for the past two years kept having dreams of her, and the thing was i would never think of her during the day so i took a couple hours one day to drive to her house, to see if she actually still lived there, and she did ,(surprised) we talked about all that has happened since i moved and other things and from there on i have had no other dreams. I think its a closure issue of why i was having the dream.I would say go see the guy but your probably in a different situation than i was in.
