I don’t know if that’s unhealthy or therapeutic or what. FWIW, I think it sounds like a painful endeavor that cannot possibly yield any kind of positive results or conclusion. Dreams are interesting but they’re not telepathic messages from another world that knows the future. Difficult because I’m not saying you think they are but if you don’t are you trying to figure if you should have caught a warning sign from your dreams? Because that’s ridiculous and needless self-flagellation. If the question in your mind is it in anyway your fault? Should you have known? Should you have guessed? The answer is 100% no. As you know, every living thing dies. And as you also know, it’s not the least bit your fault.

If your mind starts playing tricks on you I suggest putting your mental energy into reading a book. Hope that helps, a little.

Thanks, but I'm perfectly aware of all of this. (I have experienced death before.) I occasionally re-read all of my dreams from the previous year regardless, so. Of course I do not actually think that any of my dreams are psychic messages or meaningful in any way. But it hasn't even been one full month since he died, so I can't help but dwell on death in general whenever I can't sleep. (Doesn't matter if I'm reading a book or out with friends or what.)

To clarify-- the "irrational part of me" is also frequently worried that I have a deadly brain tumor or that someone will break into the house at any moment, so it's more of just an intrusive thought/worry. And I have a huge interest in dream symbolism in addition to all of this which doesn't help.

I keep having sex and music dreams

I dreamt I saw Pink Floyd waters era and even at the end of the songs no one made a peep

Then I was in a 4 way sex thing another man and two women

Then the other man (no one I know irl) taught me how to play Cortez the Killer on the guitar irl I can’t play instruments but in my dream I learned it easily

It was so cool - I love that song

I had a dream where I was in natural landscape that shifted from desert to jungle to plains with zero manmade structures or any other signs of man. There was no one else around, so I was exploring and trying to find someone. After no luck I decided to bathe a river I found because I was covered in mud and filth. I got in the river then bathed for a bit before I noticed that I was hearing breathing that wasn't my own and it was kind of like it was trying to follow my pattern of breathing to not be noticeable. I began to call out "hello, is anyone there? I've been exploring for hours." No response. I tried a few more times and failed, but the area still felt ominous. I began going forward to try to find a human and the landscape shifted to this desert where it had recently rained. I went down the path and got lost in a train of thought for a moment before I noticed that I could hear someone else walking. I looked back and around, but couldn't see anyone walking and the footsteps stopped whenever I looked back. I was a half freaked out and half relieved because someone was clearly following me but it also meant that I was able to accomplish the goal. In dreams I have random and pointless missions that tend to be arbitrary btw, not sure if you guys get that. So I turned back to see if I could find the person that I heard and I saw a set of footprints running parallel to mine about 20 feet away. I walked over to that path and started following it back towards the direction I came from and noticed a figure over on a path close to me. I ran forward a bit to get a better look when it turned around and we made eye contact when I realized it was me. I woke up panting. Weird **** dude.

So I just started to forget that this girl exists again, and as always, she comes back to me in a dream and the cycle starts again. So I made a music to express how I feel.

Some weird mix of blowing myself, harry potter, and a church event with matt dillahunty that didnt involve atheism. I vaguely remember some sort of ritual being interupted. My dreams are always a weird mix of f*ckery. I want cool dreams like Chio and Frown. Ivwant to wake up feeling like i actually experienced what i was dreaming, not "wtf?"

-Dreamt today about discovering some guy in a cave who had really weird hands and two brains and at first I thought that he developed those adaptations because of the environment. But then I found corpses in the cave with missing brains and it turned out that he ate their brains and they somehow ended up in his skull and his weird hands came from trying to dig himsef out of the cave.

-dreamt yesterday that somehow, through the music of Magma, one could gain access to a weird but beautiful parallel universe. I kept trying to get there, but it only worked partially. Then I got into a discussion with a friend about how he didn't like Magma, because they are too hectic and overloaded with stuff. Then he told me, he liked Cardiacs though. I responded that I loved Cardiacs and wanted to play some but somehow every song I played was a slow ballad. It was really frustrating.

That sounds hellish.

My dreams still haven't returned to normal. Instead (for the past few weeks) I've just been having vivid dreams about talking to people I know (online and in real life). Which is much less exciting than I'm used to. But the conversations are always extremely long and delve into things we don't usually discuss IRL. Sometimes they're online conversations and sometimes they're long handwritten notes passed back and forth throughout the entire dream. In the last one, there were always smaller notes folded within the larger ones. I'd find them in a large open envelope in the top drawer of a dresser beneath a window in an unfamiliar room. Most of these dreams aren't terribly exciting but some will stick with me for the remainder of the day and feel very real, and I'll often remember specific things the other person said for a few hours after waking. So, yeah. Not terribly exciting.

Really nicely worded, you should write poetry based on your dreams if you don't already.
