MERCUTIO
True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air
And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes
Even now the frozen bosom of the north,
And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,
Turning his face to the dew-dropping south.
Did you have a dream last night? Do you remember what your last dream was about? Do you dream every night? Or, have you ever had a nightmare?
I've had dreams that seemed to come true. I've also had dreams that woke me up and made me question things I have done. One time I had a dream the recurred nightly for a week!

I had a dream last night that I was playing in a baseball game. It was the last inning of the game and we were up by one run. The bases were loaded with two outs. I was playing third base and a hard ground ball was hit to my side. I was thinking to my self that I new it was all up to me and that I had to make this great diving play. But it only took one second for me to react. In a split second after the pitch was thrown I dove to my left and grabbed the ground ball. I got up and knew this base runner was really fast so I chucked the ball as hard as I can.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I dream every night but most of the time I know I do. Sometimes when I’m really into the dream and my dad wakes me up I ask him why he did what he did in the dream. He usually answers with a complete random answer.
I don’t have too much night mare dreams unless I see something really scary the night before. Although I don’t dream about what happened in real life until about two days latter than it actually happened or what I saw.
By reading this article makes me think that dreams are something really strong that tries to tell you something it brings the future the pass and something that you are always thinking about, something’s dreams are something beautiful that makes you wonder a lot and hope that it happens I dream every nights I don’t remember what it was but I do remember the peoples that where their with me. Last week and this weeks my dreams are really weird is me always crying every time that I am happy something needs to kill it and the same person is in my dream but I shows me something that I really have inside and that I want to let out and what is the best for me. And I shake to wake up and stop dreaming that is what everyone does when they don’t like it. Last night my dream was me running with my sister to get to a place where someone really important was going to be at and I never got there, yeah I almost all the nights I dream,
ReplyDeleteLast night I did have a dream it was really scary I was camping with my family for the 4th of July we always do that we stay over for about 3 or 4 days. In my dream it was like the 2 day and it was like around 6-7 so it wasn’t so dark I was with my cousins it was me and my older cousin she’s 24 and her boyfriend also my other 2 cousins he’s 16 and the other one is about 14 their friends where there too. We were walking and talking we had flash lights. We walk like for about 3 hours and it was really dark I was scare and so was everyone we were lost then my cousin try to call her mom but the phone didn’t work we walk and walk then we got to this one cave in there It was cold we strait to look everywhere and we found snakes millions of them I was so scare im afraid of snakes. One of the snakes was about to beat me I woke up.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot you could search about dreams; but I decided to search about dreams that are related to the dreams I’ve had. I’ve had dreams about falling and being scared of dying; then suddenly jumping and waking up. The article said that having a falling dream is about being scared of some type of failure in your life; like in school or failure in love. Sometimes when we have these falling dreams, we feel our whole body twitch and we wake up from this twitch. I also decided to read about nightmares; I wanted to know what caused them and what they actually mean. I’ve had dreams about death :[ I don’t want to really describe what my dream was about because it scares me just thinking about them but in the article it said that if we dream about people who have died along time ago is a way of remembering them; that it indicates that you miss them. Then again if you have a dream about someone you love dying then it means that your feelings for that person are dead. I’m scared of that because the person I dreamed about is still and will forever be very close to me. In another note to have death in your dreams is because you have a bad influence in your life; or that you are just hanging out with the wrong people. I hate nightmares! I don’t understand why we can remember them so clearly but yet we can’t really remember the good fun dreams.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did have a dream last night! My dream was very weird last night I have no idea what it was about I remember some parts but not all! That my friend was at my house and that’s all I remember. I don’t think I dream every night but there is a time where I have a continuation of a dream and sometimes I do dream every night. Yes, I’ve had a nightmare it really scared me because it was like I would never think I would dream something like that or hopefully never will happen to me and I was afraid to walk out of my house because of that nightmare. The nightmare was that I got shot and my parents didn’t believe me and they would see the blood every where but they still didn’t put attention on what was going on with me. I agree with the articles because there are things you could never think that someone (you) would dream about and then they do happen or maybe you dream things for a reason. I learned that your dreams my come from what you are feelings or things that are going through your life. Some do or may mean something. Symbols are something in your dream it’s like something you remembered in something or someone.
ReplyDeleteI have had dreams. But the dreams that I have I do not remember the next day. The dreams that I do remember are the ones that have my friends in it. It is just I can not remember. I hate it because all my friends are talking about the dreams that they had, but I can not remember what it was about. I have had dreams when I wake up crying.
ReplyDeleteThen other dreams that I have come true. The next day is what my dream was about and that kind of freaks me out. It is true when you are dreaming that your whole body just kind of dies, but it is just sleeping. Just by seeing all the different ways you can have a dream is really weird. The dreams that I have come true and I don’t know how to have dreams that do not come true. I have dreams that my friends life and they die and I do not want that to happen to them.
I am kind of glad that I do not remember my dreams because sometime they are bad and I do not like that. It makes me feel sad when I have bad dreams about my friends. There are some days that I do not have a dream or I have dream and that dream is just all blank and other stuff like that.
I really liked thee articles , they were very imforming . I agreed with what all the articles were saying ! I believe that when you think of something happy or watch something happy , your dream will be about something happy & thee same goes for bad dreams . I learned what REM & NREM stands for . These articles were really amazing , we should read stuff like this more !
ReplyDeleteI have had the same dream for about 2 nights now . Me & some friends will be at the trolley by Parkway Plaza then all of a sudden these people will start shotting us out of nowhere . I wonder if this means something or if its just a nightmare !
I agree with the article because I do think that dreams have a meaning. Dreams try to tell you something, like a piece of advice. It’s almost like your helping yourself without knowing it. But the sad thing is that sometimes you can’t remember some of your dreams. Dreams are based on how you feel about something. I learned that you can die in your own dream. I never thought that was possible. Also when you have a falling dream, I never knew you could touch the ground.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn’t have last night. Yes you have a dream every night but some of them you can not remember. I read in a book that dreams usually last about 3-5 seconds but to us, it seems to last for a very long time. Yes I’m pretty sure I’ve had one before I just can’t remember it. When ever I have a nightmare it usually happens the next day.
ReplyDeleteI agree with some parts of the article “How Dreams Work” because the others ones are unbelievable, to me. I agree and disagree with Dr.Freuds theory because I believe that it is a way that we show our desires, but not a sexual desire. In a dream a person can be whatever they want to be. They can do what they could have never done in the real world. In the theory that we dream to help solve problems I believe it only works for some people. A dream can help realize something but doesn’t always help solve something. I learned a lot from all the articles I read and I can’t wait to tell someone all that I have actually read.
ReplyDeleteTo start out i have had alot of dreams and nightmares that felt so real.The nightmares ive had felt so real i woke up at midnight and i was like " oh my god it just a bad dream.This one time i went to sleep and i had a dream i was skating in San Diego with my friend Dee. So me and Dee are skating the streets of San diego, were fisrt skating the county courthouse. I went up and did a noseblunt on the hubba,Dee goes up to do a fakie tre flip. We then headed to city college Dee and i skated the 9 stair handrail,the campus police shows up and tells us to leave. While werwe leaving we decide to go hit up my other friendm, because he has a car and we could drive it.
ReplyDeleteNow that i have a better understanding of dreams and learned something new, i think that most of my dreams come from deep sleep. it takes us 90 minutes to fall into deep sleeop and start dreaming. for example if you take a quick nap fo 10 min. most likely you wont have a dream but if you sleep for a couple of hours you will have a dream.
ReplyDeleteAlso not all dreams are remember and scientists approximate that we spend at least 6 years of dreaming whiloe asleep.Most of the times dreams arent remembered because we tend to wake up fast. Dreams are also forgetfull because your mind feels that its information that your brain doesnt need.
Now whenever i go to sleep im going to be more cautios such as drinking lots of fluid before i go to bed and making sure im not inturrupted during a deep sleep.
Whenever i have a dream its fun and exciting even though it isnt what i always expect. Dreams are like a poker game you never know what you are going to get until you get it.
I don’t agree with the article because I hade dreams to the one I remember the most was falling from a mountain. But in the article said if u don’t wake up before you touch the floor maybe you will die. Now in my experiences of that dream I fell once to the ground or floor but I didn’t die.
ReplyDeleteToday I learned so much from reading like 3 to 4 articles on dreams and what they mean. they were all very interesting. I agree with the things they were saying about dreams. I learned that when your snoring your not dreaming, there’s 5stages when you go to sleep and that it takes about 90 minutes to go threw all 5 stages I also learned while sleeping you dream two times. Today’s articles were very fun and I learned a lot.
ReplyDeleteI do and I don’t agree because it tells you if you don’t wake up before you really die in your dream you really do die but in my dreams I die alot but im still here. But I do agree about alot of the other stuff it talks about.
ReplyDeleteI learned alot of what the dreams mean but for different people they can mean different things it depends on what’s going on in your life and how your feeling because when your sick you have nightmares so yah.
Personally,to me I thought that dreams were something that some people have and some people don’t have. I have had many dreams some good and some horrible, I have woken up in tears because I thought it was really happening. And sometimes I have a dream that it’s Saturday and then my mom comes in to wake me up for school. Dreams to me are enjoyable weather they are good or bad they are an experience but that isn't really happening. You can dream that you are the richest man in the world and then wakeup in the morning and know what it would be like. Sometimes I dream about certain things and then in real like I will think that I have seen that place before and then I remember and it was in a dream. So it could go either way, dreams could be something that could happen in the future or it could just be something everyone has that we were born with. I don't think any one has control over if they have a dream or don’t I think it’s just natural.
ReplyDeleteLast night I had a dream about me and my friends were waliking down to OB and all of a sudden a crazy homless person jump out of no were and justed mumbled nothing that made since and after that I don't know what happned because I woke up. Some of the things I learned about the dreams that it is a long process to go threw when you dream and sometimes when you have a dream it can turn into a nightmare that could have been something that happened in your past.
ReplyDeleteIn all my life i had so many dreams and nightmares.What i think about dreams is that they are wonderful and that they are helping you in believe things just might come true. well in my opinion i hate nightmares and well if you like them.... you're scary!!!well i have some scary nightmares like zombies actually chasing after me. also like scary little fish tryingto eat me!!!scary enough to make me scream. well dreams are really wonderful.I just love having dreams not nightmares.
ReplyDeleteYes I had a dream that I was skating and I was showing up everybody (skating better then everybody). Then a pro skater came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be on his skate sponser. And yes I pretty much dream everynight but some of them i cant remember which sucks. I think I've only had like 1 or 2 nightmares and they weren't that bad. Dreams try to tell you something. Its almost like your helping yourself without knowing it. But the sad thing is that sometimes you cant remember some of your dreams. Dreams are based on how you feel about something. I learned that you can die in your own dream. I never thought that was possible.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to agree with all of the articles. That your dreams are tied to your emotions and the mood you are in before you go to sleep. They can have a connection to what you did that day or what really upset you. I think that dreams are just your inner desire or inner conscience trying to tell you to do this or don't do that because this/that is going to happen.
ReplyDeleteThe tricky thing about most scary dreams is that when you are about to be harmed, you'll probably wake up and start screaming. I'll overcome some of my nightmares because even when I'm in like a little trance I still know it's just a dream. The nightmares are probably telling you don't be afraid of it or it's just going to keep happening which is my statement about nightmares.
I really was interested in what the article said about you won't remember your dream and sometimes you would depends on how long it is. Most of my dreams I remember and it happened or I feel like it happened already, which is odd because de javu in a dream used to be really weird to me a while ago, but since most of my dreams feel like that I don't even notice it.
These articles really help me understand a lot about dreams. I learned new things about how dreams accrue.
Dreams are things that happen in your brain and lets you experience life or death. I had dreams but not bad ones. I had one that actually came to life because in the dream I called the police in 4 grade. But, after I woke up I don't know why but I decided to press 911 and then they called back. I got in trouble that was my one that really got me because it was the same thing I dream about. Now I know that dreams can come true, good ones and bad ones.
ReplyDeleteI read some articals about dreams most of them were interesting. I learned that there's 5 stages when you are sleeping and it takes about 90 min to go threw all of them.i also learnd that when you snore your not dreaming.And i found out what REM is.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream last night, that I was practicing riding a dirt bike with my dad, uncles, brother and my friend in the desert, in 29 palms were my aunty lives. So I was riding it and I saw a huge ramp I was going to do it but I got scared but my uncle told me to do it and he said you could do it so I went and do it and I land it I was happy. Dreaming is a good thing because it could make you feel better because you could dream stuff that you cant do or you are to scared to do.
ReplyDeleteDreams can be crazy; they can be out of this world. The article said that they can be like other world. The other article said that all you yoyur life and stuff

ReplyDeleteI read the dream moods article. It was very fascinating and I agree with the material. I find it to be very informational and true.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a dream last night. Normally I can't remember my dreams, I also
have dreams on and off, never day by day. I've had nightmares that I find questionable, but i learn from my my dreams. My dreams keep me aware of my surroundings. I agree with the article because the last dream I had was revolved around what I did the day before.
Why or why not? What new information did you gain? Or analyze one of your own dreams after reading the sites.
I can agree with all of these articles. Because I fell that when I have had a good day that I can dream about some thing good that happened to me. Just like when I am having a bad I feel that I don’t have the best dreams I will have a dram about fighting or violence’s. I have had it where I had a dream and the next day something from my dream will happen at school. Like’s it’s really crazy but I believe that my dream is just telling me that I may have a gift. Like Dr. Freud’s said , that he found out that he had a problem because of one of his dreams it showed him that he was addicted to smoking , and that is how he later died.
ReplyDeleteI had many dreams and the one dream I had today was I was a swat team leader for some reason and their was a hostage situation in Horton plaza in downtown. And I had to go in and save people. Don’t know why but it was creepy because the terrorist were zombies with guns and any ways that’s my dream. It says in the article dream mood that dreams are the mood you have and some how connects to reality it’s also exploring yourself it says and learning futures about you. So maybe its saying I like guns and saving people .I learned stuff about myself and about dreams during this assignment and it also feels good to dream.
ReplyDeleteYes, I did have a dream last night. My dream was about me moving to a whole new place. Just that the funny thing is that it was the hardest task I had to do. It was a new but fun experience for me my family and I were happy and didn’t need to worry about anything any more.
ReplyDeleteYes, I dream every night. All my dreams are mostly about me going to college and watching my mom see me graduate. It made her so happy. Yet and some are about me and my family struggling to stay on our feet. Those are my nightmares.
I do agree with some of these articles, some of them are jusr bazzar. For example saying that if you dream about an opening and a cylinder type shape you're wanting sex, I think thats pretty bazzar. But some of these articles I agree with, one article said what's weird of dreams is that it's very gard for us to remember the dream we just woke up from. This is a very true statement and I think that the reason they give is true, they ae very logical and reasonable.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with the article that talks about lucid dreams, because I think that you can control your dreams I do. I have a lot of lucid dreams, if I want to dream about anything I can it is easy for me.
ReplyDeleteAnother part of the article I agree with is when they were talking about recalling your dreams. It is when you’re dreaming about something and the next night you still dream about the same thing. In the article it says that five minutes after the end of a dream, we have forgotten 50% of the dream’s content. And then in ten minutes later, we have forgotten 90% of its content. I thought that was very interesting because sometimes I do that, but not that much though.
I really agree with the article talking about recurring dreams and nightmares. Because everyone has had a nightmare before whether it be when they are little or older, even I have had nightmares. In the article it talks about that nightmares mostly happen when you are a child but it happens to everybody. It talks about night terrors to and I thought they were the same as nightmares but they aren’t night terrors happen in non-REM sleep it can last up to 20 minutes and it usually happens in the first stages of deep sleep.
I really learned a lot from these articles and I thought they were very interesting
Yes I had dreams before I had many dreams that I have came true in life. I’ve learned a lot about dream like if u dream about the color black that means sadness or even death … there many thing that u can dream about and every little thing means anythings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the article “how dreams work” because I was dreaming nearly the same or close by dreams. But the weird part is that my dreams were coming true one by one over the last three months. I sometimes wonder why we have these different dreams. I use to think that they predict the future or something. I love dreams they help me relax and have such a great time and most of the time I think is true like it looks so realistic that I don’t want to wake up. On the other hand some people say is a visual, and emotional and even sometimes broken, but for the most part entertaining stories. They also say that we can even solve problems while sleeping. I say yes because I solve lots of my dreams just by seen then happen. I still wonder would your most wanted dreams come true or would you die waiting for them.
ReplyDeleteYes I do. Yesterday or today I guess I dream of the swine flu. It was me and my friend at my house and on the news they had reported a public announcement on the TV about the swine flu and that it was expanding everywhere and where we were at. So my friend said that he wanted to go home, but I wouldn’t let him. So then he started to get frustrated and was very furious. So then I told you can’t leave or else something bad Is going to happened. So then I go to my room and come back to look for him and he wasn’t there anymore. He was nowhere to be found. That’s basically all I remembered. I’ve had have nightmare there the worst.
ReplyDeleteIn the article I read that “we can even solve problems in our sleep or can we”. I disagree. I disagree because you can’t if I do they just wont be solved in the real world. I hate when your dreams mess with you because I might think that I’m awake but yet im not.
Teusday night I had a dream that I was on the roof of a sky-scraper and I was going to jump on to another building because there were people chasing me with guns and I jumped and i made it but the people with guns were still chasing me so I tried to jump another to another building so I jumped and I was so close but I missed the landing by a foot and when was about to hit the floor I woke up . In the article “how stuff works” it said that some nightmares can be triggered by stress and anxiety and I remember that I was stressed out by the c.s.t. that night.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I read a dream is the thoughts one holds back from reality. But it also said that they could delta waves projecting images in the mind. But these dreams don’t come immediately, There are 5 stages of sleep. With each stage the sleep gets deeper. By stage 5 you have lost control of your body.
