Do you remember your dreams? Any recurring themes?

@Chakramaster: maybe, but what you dream isn't anything you can help!

Next time I have a super vivid dream, I'm going to try to post a blog here. And that's the hard part but also the fun part of writing down your dreams: because it all plays out as imagery that can only make sense if you could draw it out visually...with perfect accuracy. xD So painting a dreamscape with words is very challenging. But definitely worth the challenge! Especially if you ever want to look back and reminisce.

Oh! Another recurring theme I just remembered is being late to college. Yes, college; the place I haven't attended to for over a year or two now. :p For some reason I always have dreams where I forget about a class I was taking (usually a class pertaining to math, pffffth) and go the whole semester in ignorant bliss until one day it just hits me. They're very, very frustrating dreams of mine and I have NO idea why it's commonly a thing. X_x

Oh! And sometimes I have dreams about finding "hidden" Pokemon that are from generations in the future. It's weird: I'll have one of those Prima ultimate pokedex guidebook things and I turn to the back and suddenly OMG WHAT ARE THOOOOSE? Usually they're Pokemon that exist in whatever the newest generation of Pokemon is at that time that literally have NEVER been revealed before. Not your BS with Pokemon like Hoopa, Volcanion, Genesect, and the like. None of those guys that are hidden in plain sight (JUST ISNT OFFISHULLY REVEELED GUYS LOLOL!), like, they actually reveal ones that have never. Ever. Been. Revealed. Kinda like how the Pokemon fandom discovered Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion on accident. :o

Anyway I'm loving these responses, guys! :D

Ah, of course, Neo. I'm all too familiar with sudden changes of setting too! I mainly experience changes in characters. For instance, I could be referring to one person as Bob and then the next time I see them they're physically a different person, but they're still Bob to me.
@Scytherwolf: YES!!! EXACTLY!! Oftentimes mine are completely fabricated theme parks, yet my mind still associates them with theme park names I'm familiar with. :o

Water parks are the worst for me! Oftentimes I get there like, an hour or half an hour before the water park closes. SO. FRUSTRATING.

I cant really say I've lucid-dreamt before...not to my knowledge anyway.

Well, I mean...I guess I KINDA have before? In my dreams sometimes I'll have supernatural abilities like being able to rewind time. It takes a lot of energy out of dream-me, though? Someone just died? WELP TIME TO GO BACK IN TIME. Or just make myself wake up because that **** ain't happening on my watch. Also, I'm not sure how typical this is but I DO have full control over my actions while dreaming. I've heard that some people dream as if they were watching themselves from a third-person perspective.

I find it so hard to force myself awake from a dream, though!

I also experience this weird dream-like state in my early stages of sleep. The dream is usually really shallow, and I often find myself jolting awake because I fell on the floor or something jumped at me in said dream. Doesn't happen often, though.

One more thing that used to frustrate me but I'm pretty sure I've overcome now: as you guys probably know, I'm married. Even so, I still fantasize about other guys--both real and fictional. That's just how I roll. I used to have this thing in my dreams in which I'd hook up with a guy I liked and was like, OH WAIT LOL SRY I CANT IM MARRIED.
Which is just, like...REALLY annoying because I want to be able to live out my fantasies in my dreams, you know? :P But with the past several dreams this doesn't seem to have been a problem...thank god

Haha, that's pretty much what my dreams do. xD

And yeah, I also have full control over myself in dreams, even when I'm not aware I'm dreaming. When my dreams ARE in third-person perspective, which happens less often, it's always me watching other people, not myself.

I also find it hard to force myself awake. I just try to manipulate the dream instead.

Oh wow that happens to me too. Like I'm walking down some stairs and fall and then jolt awake really quickly.
