and you can't quite shake the feeling it created? Now I can't get back to sleep and I can't quit thinking about the dream! :-(

I think I've found the cure. Read some of the questions and answers on Yahoo. That's some funny sh*t right there!!

i savour the symbols and metaphors of all my dreams and welcome them. The more dramatic and confusing the better. They are such unique window into the world. Send me yours if you don't want em!
Lately, i have been dreaming about the places and things being split in two ...like a class i am in with teachers at the front and the back of the room ....and last night i dreampt Sinead OConnor was singing on the main stage at a show and a small stage at the back of the arena. Good stuff!

Wow, my sentiments exactly...I have had times when I could barely remember what the dream was about but I woke up feeling extremely terrified, sad, etc. Other times the dream is so vivid it can seem more real than reality to me, if that makes sense. Mundane daily life cannot compete with some of these fantasies for my imagination.
I guess all you can do is carry on about your business and if you stay busy the dream will fade away eventually...at least that's what works for me. Try not to dwell on it throughout the day, as I tend to find myself doing, or you will end up with images from nightmares stuck in your head for years, maybe fo life.
Believe me I know.

I have found that if I go directly back to sleep after a nightmare, I continue in the same dream scenario. That is, the same, a similar, or another bad dream. I also have found that if I get up for at least fifteen or twenty minutes, the rest of my sleep that night is not troublesome.

I hate those but I usually lay there scared until i think how the dream was "supposed" to scare me then I get mad for being manipulated into being frightened. Dream feelings are hard to shake, good or bad. Separate the dream and the you in your mind. Tell yourself it was only thoughts, then tomorrow, try to remember it, write it as a story and sell it. I do mine. Not the selling but the writing.

its natural you shake when you had a bad dream, but it doesnt mean the bad dream you had will happen in real. bad dream sometimes is part of premonition for better or for worst, depending on the situation of dreams. it maybe, you should be on guard on every steps, decision you make. its also warns you to protect yourself from any evil doin by some people. everytime i had this bad dreams, i bite my pillow and turn it over and slap my pillow, they say if you do this ritual. the bad dream will not happen in real as expected, and of course you can go back to sleep without any worries in your mind. tell me more about your bad dreams, so in my own little way i can help you to interpret it to you.

I get up and watch something light-hearted on tv like a comedy,even an informcial if I can't find anything else.I also have a snack. After doing all of this,I usually find it easier to go back to sleep since my mind is more refreshed.

I tell someone about it and we try to analyze it together. Usually you wind up laughing about it. For instance, the other night I dreamed a lady died of a stroke, and the docs handed me her defective brain, which was like plastic or foam, and told me to bring it to the lab next door to be analyzed. This was all in an abandoned shopping mall. See? Nightmarish at the time, but when you try and talk about it seriously, it's FUNNY!

i hate that! it's the worst when the feeling follows you all day and you eventually forget the dream, but the feeling is still there likeit just happened, and you don't even know what "it" was!!
i also hate dreams where someone close to you dies or gets hurt and then you can't get a hold of them the next day and you worry all damn day. or the ones where your spouse cheats!!! i HATE those! you feel like waking up and slapping the **** out of their sleeping body next to you...hahah. but they say that one is a dream of contrary, so that always makes me feel better about it. ;o)

I'll call everyone I love, and make sure that everything is the same as yesterday.. Then I'll make some jokes for my self that makes me laugh and happy all day.. Coz life isn't bout the dream we've had last night. It's about today, and how to make it happy day by day.

Because it really happened. What was the dream by the way?
