Do you have funny (comedy) dreams?

[woof woof]

I do

I sometimes laugh in my sleep. Mrs WW thinks this is most odd but googling tells me it's relatively common. I have vivid and also lucid dreams quite often and the latter might be less common.

I rarely have bad dreams. Mrs WW definitely has more and sadly more since a recent upsetting incident and I suppose that's easy to understand. As a kid I had night terrors and I remember them to this day and in later life they fueled an interest and I've read about dreams, night terrors, nightmares, false awakening etc. I remember my mam asked the Dr about them and he said I'd grow out of it and I did but I've read that some people don't and continue to experience them. They seemed real and to be awake and yet still experiencing them is... unsettling. I'm glad I grew out of them. I used to have reoccurring dreams but now, not really. Compared to those night terrors having comedy dreams seems like a bit of welcome nice payback

I just wondered if anyone else has comedy dreams? Lucid dreams? To know you're dreaming and to be able to influence the dream is like the comedy dreams also not bad

I don't get comedy dreams but I often have dreams which tell a story. The most annoying scenario is when the alarm goes off in the middle so I will never know how the story ended.

As I've gotten older, my dreams seem to have become more bizarre and also more vivid. I used to get night terrors quite a bit and would often try to shout in my sleep, much to my wife's suprise as it usually came out in a muffled groan. I don't get so many night terrors nowadays but my dreams are more vivid and story like. I get the odd bad one but mostly, they are good.

I do seem to dream a lot more now about when I was a kid and into early adulthood, mostly fond memories.

I had an odd one yesterday morning though, not so much a dream but an odd experience. I had to get up early and had a restless night, incase I slept late. As is always the case, I was fast alseep by the time it was time to get up. I had set my alarm but I woke a full minute before it went off, with a loud knocking sound somewhere in the house, or so I thought. I asked my daughter if she had heard it, she'd been awake for 10 minutes by then but she hadn't.

I believe dreams are just thoughts as you sleep and sometimes you remember them.

Years ago I went through a phase of reading about dreams although reading Freud nearly made me give up. I've recently Googled vivid, lucid and funny dreams and it appears they're quite common, so that's nice as I can tell Mrs WW that I'm not quite as mad as she thinks I am for laughing in my sleep

Mrs WW has quite a few dreams which seem to point to anxiety but today she was saying that she's happier and more content than she's been in years so hopefully the dreams seemingly pointing towards anxiety might reduce.

David, I hope you get to finish a good story soon

Dale, I can't say I've woken to a knocking noise but I think I could probably do without an alarm clock as I always seem to wake up just before it's due to go off. That brings up a whole load of questions about how a body can keep such accurate time.

Thanks for posting guys.

I have lucid dreams often. I love the world of dreams and dreaming. I sometimes even dream in my dreams. Also, sometimes I even know when I'm dreaming; and because of this knowing I do crazy things that I'd never do otherwise. I've also woken up from a beautiful dream before forcing myself to go back to sleep where I continue that beautiful dream--this is true. None of the things I mentioned here are exaggerations, either. Lastly, I'd like to say that I have the entire continuum of dreams from tragically sad to euphorically animated. I laugh uncontrollably and sob hysterically in my dreams from time to time, too. I can go on and on and on. One day, before I sleep that last night's sleep, I'd like to see a Jungian psychoanalyst to talk about my dreams just as Carl Jung did with his analysands while he was practicing.

Lots of my dreams are based around fixing / installing things and that's not surprising as that's what I did for years. I had a very lucid dream recently in which I was sent to the arctic to a research base near a small town to install/fix stuff in their portacabin village. That's something I did a lot of but on industrial sites not the arctic. When the work was completed I walked to the boat and everything was just so real... the portacabin village, the boat, the water, looking back towards land and seeing the lights, everything. It was a running joke between me and Mrs WW at bed time... "I'm so tired. I hope I don't get sent to the Arctic tonight."

A great story there! And it's funny, as well. "I hope I don't get sent to the Arctic tonight." Don't worry, not tonight! How about Siberia?

I walked away from work at 49 and often dream I'm back there but also had a very vivid dream recently in which I was back at work but realised I didn't have to be and just got up and left
