Is this unusual?

Question

Hi,
I'm a 15 year old girl, incase that is of any worth...
I have EXTREMELY vivid dreams, and most of the time I have hardly any trouble remembering them (I know alot of people do). The first lucid dream I remember having was when I was about five or six years old, and have had many since then. But the concepts, plots, people, scenery, etc. that I fabricate in my dreams blows me away! I "create" people in my dreams that are like no one I know... looks, personality, everything...I even grow attached to those people, and find myself sad when I wake, that they don't exist out of my mind, lol. In a recent dream I actually played someone else (another person nothing like anyone I know), and some of my dreams actually have plots/twists like a movie...Another example ..The other night in a dream I heard this song (not one I've heard before) it had a melody, lyrics, everything....
SO, what are your thought about all this?
Thanks for your time! :)

Answer 1

I don't think comments are appropriate as I do not know much from this small paragraph of what your life is like and your experiences, but I will suggest that you write down what you can remember, and put those thoughts together to make a story, or even perhaps a screen play. You seem to be very imaginative and creative, and you should use that talent to your advantage. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Your brain keeps bits of information hidden from you at all times. Some random person you pass on the street can stay in your subconscious without you even realizing it. Same with songs.. a song you heard years ago just once can keep itself embedded in your mind.

When you dream, you basically bring all these memories out of hiding. Mix that with your obviously creative imagination, and you have some excellent dream material.

A lot of people don't dream as vividly as you, so feel special. If you can, write down everything you can remember after you dream. Keep a diary of it all. It will be fun to read through when you are older. :)

Answer 3

The subconcious mind is more theory than fact and certainly something hotly debated AND hard to study.

I would STRONGLY suggest to you that you make clear notes about what you're dreaming as soon as you wake up. Maybe there is a story or stories there, maybe you are receiving the gift of a song that needs to be written or a story that must be told.

MANY artists cannot explain how they create the things they create. They call it "the muse." I am a Christian; so, I'll go with God. OR ... if it is a voice of evil then Satan. But the Bible is CLEAR that God communicates with us through dreams. Don't JUST let them entertain you: study them!

SEEK the sanity behind the surreal nature of dreams. Update us when you can!

Lord bless!

Answer 4

I have dreams like this all of the time. My friends make fun of me because I can go on and on about this strange dream and recall every single little detail.
Sometimes I wake up after having a dream about someone in my life and depending on what happened, I feel differently toward that person.
Sometimes I have difficulty differentiating between dreams and reality.
I've also led a very stressful life full of conflict. I spent years in therapy...so I'm not sure it's entirely normal. It's probably an indicator of some type of unconcious stress of some sorts. Pay attention to what happens in your dreams, it can tell you a lot if you can read them right.

Answer 5

I feel you have too many of imaginations about yourself. And you fall into those imagination so deeply that you see them happening in real but in your dreams.
Its nothing wrong...its quite normal. The best part is that you realise it.
Problem could have been when you did not realise what was happening with you.
So dont worry...its all good. And may one of your dream personality be real in life.

Answer 6

Welcome to my world! When I tell people about my dreams, a lot of them don't believe me. It's great when they are good, but my nightmares are incredibly disturbing. If you want to remember them, go over the details as soon as you start to wake up. Don't open your eyes. You can get a recorder and start talking about it before you get out of bed. Write them down. I have several dream journals. You can use them to write short stories. Who knows? You could become a great author!

Answer 7

I think that's pretty cool. Mine are normally jumbles of different ideas and people I already know, and I'm always looking through my eyes. Even the plot is jumbled together and usually changes a lot.

Answer 8

i agree with Sarah, you have a creative mind...ain't nothin wrong wit dat. i am not sure it is ' usual ' or ' normal ' but that does not at all mean that it is a bad thing.
it would be really interesting were you to document these events. i would be interested in the melody you created
and since you asked, i think it's kinda cool

Answer 9

Check into reincarnation. We all have more than one life and this is what you are reliving...one or more of your other lives.
A good person to read about would be Edgar Cayce...especially the end chapter about religion and how reincarnation was left out of the biblical stories...but it absolutely exists.

Answer 10

It means you have a very active and creative imagination. I have dreams like that on occasion. There is nothing weird or unusual about it.
