I have more than two hundred pages of dreams typed out. It was a lot easier to do this when I was younger as I had much more time in the mornings. I remember everything vividly but once ten minutes have passed since waking it's pretty much gone unless I make a conscious effort to commit it to memory. It's great fun to go back and be prompted to remember some of the crazier ones or Ctrl+F to see how often various peop…
Do you not dream? I'm almost 50 and I don't have a memory of ever dreaming. I probably do, but have some sort of selective amnesia so that I don't remember dreaming when I wake up. Does anyone else out there experience the same thing?
Even if you start with a single word once every few weeks, in time that can grow.
I have read that certain antidepressants have "strange dreams" and "nightmares" listed as possible side effects. Not sure what to make out of that
Do you ever dream about programming? I sometimes dream about code or debugging, especially when my team is working on a deadline. A few times I dreamt of solutions to problems we had. It felt good on the spot, calming and relaxing. Unfortunately, after waking up, they don’t make any sense.
Anyway whenever I "dream" about programming it's almost always a scheduling cue. The exact type of programming, technique, language, etc. will provide details as to the type of scheduling that needs to be done.
For example, an interest in lisp seems to point to high-level, conceptual plan-making/life-design which leads toward a schedule. BASIC interest seems to point toward making a simple schedule / zeit-plan and working up from there. Getting with the program, metaphorically.
I mention this in part because you brought up the deadline...and that is related to schedules and timing.
If I dream about debugging, there's almost certainly a timing issue in my schedule, something unrealistic or problematic.
Just my subjective experience...
How else has this? I sometimes remember dreams from easily 15y - 20y ago absolutly vividly, although I have had forgotten them in the mean time. Suddenly, during the day, like in a split second (maybe triggered from a scene or scent) I feel that "feeling" (or more like a superposition of all impression of that dream i had) of a dream long lost and the dream is fully present in that moment and I kind of "remember" it…

I would like to know what small children (1-2 years) dream, but we can of course never really know for sure. My daughter (2 years) definitely seems to have nightmares. She also seems to have conversations in her dreams, as she often speaks answers to questions while sleeping. Personally I very strongly remember some wild dreams when I was very young, probably around the age I started remembering things at all, so aro…
This website is actually part of a bigger one called DreamResearch.net where you can find interesting info such as some investigations into what children dream. It seems that there are some "cognitive prerequisites for dreaming", which are mostly developed around the age of 5-7, which might explain your dreams being so crazy and full of colors, as in those ages you are still developing "the ability to produce mental…
But seeing cats and dogs dreaming is fairly common.
Would it be interesting to fine-tune GPT-3 on these?
Sometimes when I try to force the AI in AIDungeon to do something specific, the reaction is often weirdly reminiscent of the behavior of dreams. For example, I once kept trying to force an elf to teach me how to say certain phrases in their language (in an attempt to see if the AI could invent an imaginary language to some degree of consistency), and the character kept "laughing it off" and abruptly changing the subj…
> I'm at a Sunday night church gathering. I'm thinking, "I haven't done this in years." It's crowded. A drunk man next to me whispers, "Reproductive organs." I good naturedly tell him to shut up. I see a big sign that says "Brothers, Jesus..." Later someone, a male, says he has to take part of my reproductive system out. I just play with my nipples and enjoy it, i.e. I have an orgasm. I look at him and say, "I can't do that. I would feel embarrassed that I would have to go to orgasm with people watching." A girl whispers, "You can do it."
