First and third person views
First, though sometimes a strange "second person" view. Don't ask.
The ability to breathe underwater
No. [Occasionally I'm drowning.]
The ability to fly or levitate
No. I don't dream I'm falling either.
Having a different body
Does marine power armor count?
Nostalgia
No. I don't get this normally anyway.
Lots of emotions, such as love, fear, and hate
Fear commonly, Who doesn't have nightmares. And whoever said you get beat up easy is fucking right. You're really weak in dreams, often I've fallen over and cannot bring myself to stand.
Vivid colors
No. I dream in a fairly lifelike colorscheme, Not very vivid, but there is colour. [Often there is no environment, just the action. Because the environment doesn't matter. The actionis the subject of the dream, I simply don't notice the lack of environment [Unless it is an obstruction]
Exploring unfamiliar places, such as different countries and planets
Sometimes the "appearance" of the dream is like a blueprint. On a grid and focussing on an object. I recognise the object [Sometimes I actually Identify it] but most of the time I cannot actually tell what it is [It's never a random object that I identified and remember, always something related to recent events. Like a radio if I fixed/broke my radio, or a book if I've been reading.]
Overall, I dream weirdly. But don't we all?
Dreams are an amazing glimpse into the mind of the dreamer. Often you can be surprised by the difference between a dream and a personality.
My dreams sort of fit my personality. Oddballish [find a gamer who isn't] but with a mind that works on logic. No trace of my often seen defensive/aggressive behaviour though, So that may be a hormonal thing. I'd still expect it to reflect in my dreams. [I do not dream about guns if you were wondering about the marine armor. I dream about the technology of starcraft, in particular the terrans. I'm mildly obsessed, and can tell you facts about most terran weaponry. For example, if I were to liken a gauss rifle to another fictional weapon, it would be a railgun. The mechanisms are very similar, if a little less powerful in a gauss rifle. But I'm going off on a tangent there. Bring it up elsewhere.]
I'm not pro-war. I believe violence should remain purely virtual.
In fact, I'll make a thread about an idea that has stuck in my head for ages.
Gah. I'm going waaay off topic. Conversations about dreams tend to do that.
Anyway, I hope this has been enlightening/useful.
Oh wait. I've exposed the inner workings of my mind...
Shit.
Oh, another horrible thing to dream about, is paralysis. You can feel everything. You can see, sense. But you're dead to the world. You can't cry for help, or move.
Nasty stuff to dream about:
Paralysis.
Incapability to breathe [I get that a lot. Unexplained suffocation. Not drowning, just inability to breathe]
Chased by bad thing [Never ever gets you, but you can't move, your often paralysed in this too.]
Good stuff to dream about:
Games [You know, the one where it all works perfectly, great gameplay, and everything. But when you wake up you can't remember a thing, or the whole game was retarded.]
[Fun] Journeys, where you go lots of places [many fictional] and meet lots of people. Bad stuff might happen, but it's all good in the end.
Also, the guy who dreamed of hitting his sister in the head with a shovel.
2 things.
1, it's sick that you'd even think of that. [Especially if she's your little sister]
2, I wish so much my dreams were a playground. I can't control any of the fucking shit going on. Most of the time, I can't even move. [See paralysis] Even in good dreams! [It's more that I have no body in the good dream, than I'm paralysed]
God I can talk for hours about this stuff.
