<p>I had a dream last night where my house caught on fire and everything was destroyed because someone wanted to kill my family, but we all made it out alive. And in the dream, I was thinking, "YES!!! Fodder for college admissions essays!!!"</p>
<p>If you would actually think that IRL then yes, but if not probably not… I’m sure everyone here has had incredibly strange dreams.</p>
<p>LOL this thread made my day.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Damn, I am a bad person. Honestly if something like this did happen. I would be really really sad, I mean, I’ll feel all the things and think all the things a normal person would feel. But I think in the back of my mind, I would be thinking “hmmmm I could use this”</p>
<p>And your dog died in the fire</p>
<p>no. The fact that you have to think about whether or not you’re a bad person tells me you’re not. You’re probably frustrated with your family right now as a lot of people are in high school, and a lot of people have dreams similar to yours. You’re not a bad person.</p>
<p>Do you guys dream in create your own adventure stories? Like, my dreams go like this sometimes. I would dream a story one night, some kind of awesome story where I’m some character doing something. I play out the dream and if the dream doesn’t end “right” I dream it again the next night and everything happens exactly as it would have, except I have the choice to change some of my actions, and I will keep dreaming it for days on end until I get it right. Sometimes I’ll spend the day thinking what I could do later that night in my dreams to end the dream “the correct way”.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’m dreaming about dreaming those kind of dreams or if the dreams are actually happening. I’m trying to Google what this phenomenon is called, since apparently my friends have never had those kind of dreams or even felt like they have.</p>
<p>Was that too confusing?</p>
<p>^ You may be onto something… sort of… I’ve had a recurring dream in which I have to gather up items on a scavenger hunt list that the devil gave me so that in order to save my girlfriend for about six weeks now.</p>
<p>Wow six weeks!! What happens in your dreams? And what accent do you have?</p>
<p>@ Tents</p>
<p>Regarding my accent: RP-British but non-rhotic like Boston (where I lived in the US) accent. Very VERY distinctive, and I don’t want it to change as for some reason girls love it.</p>
<p>Dreams: Items on the list recently have included a DVDs for every season of MST3K, a jug of whiskey that actually has “XXX” written on it and a pointe shoe from Bolshoi Ballet.</p>
<p>No, you just need to alternate your perspective and reevaluate your preferences and priorities.</p>
