Have you ever had a dream so vivid that you can actually remember what people said in them?

Two nights ago I had a movie dream in which Bart from the simpsons was pushed back to 2nd grade and put into Ms. Elizabeth Hoover’s class, and Lisa was bumped ahead to 4th Grade in miss Edna Krabappel class . In the end they settle for a new teacher from grade 3 (me) and then everything goes back to normal.

I later woke up in the hospital in real life and then I was released… I guess I shouldn’t have had two guacamole spicy teen burgers just before bed.

Yes, pretty regularly.

I had one two nights ago where my wife and I were at a ski resort that was being invaded by terrorists with Super Soakers. People would freeze in place when squirted (it was Winter after all). We all ran and my wife turned to me and said, “I got this. Protect the kids”.

She then proceeded to run ahead, leap into the air from a park bench, do a ninja-like flip, and steal a Super Soaker from one of the terrorists. She then went all Rambo and began squirting the bejezus out of the bad guys — freezing them in place.

Guess who wears the trousers in @cookieman‘s marriage…wait, he’s married!?!

All the time. A few months ago I had the strangest dream in which my dad said “I have pancreatic cancer”. And I replied “Why do you have to die?”

That morning I called my dad up and spent the entire day at the King’s Island amusement park in Cincinatti, Ohio. Probably the best time I’ve ever spent with him.

@ucme: S’okay with me. My wife’s a ninja baby.

All the time. Many of my dreams are so mundane and the activities and conversations so “normal,” that I have difficulty determining if it was a dreamscape or reality. It’s quite annoying actually.

@cookieman Ninja baby/Adult baby, a match made in…hell?

Sure. I remember after my Mom died, I had a dream about her and we were just having a nice normal conversation (you have to consider she was non-functioning, non-verbal, non-moving for 6 months before she died.) I could hear her voice plainly and clearly. I woke up crying.

Yes, routinely. I often remember entire dialogues verbatim. But that’s true in the waking world as well. I’m wondering if one’s memory for real spoken words is simply consistent in dream life.

Had this fucking dream years ago that really scared the crap outta me. I was 15 or so. In it, I’m walking down this alley, everything is really dark, this was happening during midnight’s heart. Then by some garbage cans, I see a silhouette, taking something out of one of the cans. I walk over there, and I see a teen, about my age. (at the time) Some slim, shirtless dude, with blond hair tied in a ponytail. His hair was really messy and unkempt, for some reason I’ll always remember that. This dude pulled out the dead body of a child from the garbage. Said child was naked, and his skin was all gray. He tried to hand the corpse to me, and says ’‘I want you to throw him away’’. Then as he was handing the dead child to me I backed away, and the body fell on the ground. I ran off, only to see the pony tailed teen way ahead of me.

I realize you didn’t ask for us to describe a dream in its entirety, but to answer the question, this is the one dream that freaked me out the most, where I can remember the exact words. There have been plenty of others where I can remember what was said, but this one will always remain, so far, as my most haunting one haha.

OMG. How horrible. Too much TV, Sym.

Yes; often.
