Had any interesting dreams recently?

This week I was dreaming that we were staying in a holiday cottage and had made a complete mess of it. On the final morning we woke up to find we had all overslept and had 10 mins to tidy up and get out. The relief was immense when I woke up and it wasn't true....

How strange the 'exam' dream seems to be so common. I often dream I am back at school and about to sit an O level without having revised for it.

After my mother died I used to dream of her often. In my dream the phone would ring and it would be her. She would always tell me that she couldn't stop. I remember in one of the dreams telling her of my second pregnancy, she told me not to worry and that everything would be alright. Sometimes in the dreams I would also see her coming towards me, she always appeared to be hovering slightly above the ground and wearing the most beautiful dresses which were lilac in the begining but in later dreams a beautiful blue. I found the dreams immensely (excuse spelling) comforting. I was just 27 when my mum died suddenly.

I often have repetitive dreams of places that I have never visited before or heard of. Then bizzarely we will be passing through somewhere and I suddenly recognise it from a dream. This happened to me in Whitehaven in the Lake district I had never been there before and the visit was entirely unplanned. I do sound mad but I'm not making it up. Strangely once I have visited the place I don't dream about it again.

Strangely, I have never had a dream about my driving test and that's the one I did fail - twice.

Annobel only twice? I passed my driving test on my sixth attempt Never mind dreams that's stuff of nightmares

Five for me!

Sorry I should have said that's the stuff of nightmares.

Anagram I spent a fortune on driving lessons. I was just so nervous each time my test was due and desperate to pass because the local transport was diabolical and I had to cycle everywhere. I am quite a good driver as I imagine you are too.

I was 19 and desperate to pass before my younger sisters started to learn. I entered the test far too soon.

sook, I spent a fortune as well! I made such stupid mistakes on my tests, but I just didn't have the confidence that long-term driving obviously gives you, which I now have (thank goodness!). Best thing I ever did, though - I love driving.

I often dream I am driving the car and parking it but can never find it again. I passed my test, first time, but have never driven since.
I have the exam dream too but when I come to write my answers the paper turns into a bath towel and I am trying to write with a fountain pen on an orange towel.

What a waste! Why did you take the test in the first place, harrigran?

Like a lot of other things in my life, just to prove I could do it.

Oh wow I have the 999 dream and running to the phone box and dial and get a dialling tone again and again I am running for help and my legs are unable to move this dream occurred first About 34 years ago just after my first daughter and my died died within weeks of each the running for the phone box was always after my dad had had a heart attack and I wanted help for him,I don't get the dream so often now,but I have a anxious personality and the dreams are a probably about feeling out of control never knew other people had similar dreams wow.....

Littlenel...A nice warm (hug) from me.

I think the dream about sitting an exam for which one is ill prepared or not prepared at all is quite a common one. In my case, it's always A level Geography, though heaven alone knows why.

Desperately needing to telephone someone – the police, frequently – and always getting a wrong number is also quite common. In my telephone dream I invariably contact a Chinese takeway while being aware of the sound of a burglar descending or ascending the staircase (depending on which room I am in).

I also talk in my sleep. My favourite is the occasion when, apparently, I sat bolt upright and announced very firmly, "I will not have cats being unpunctual for their meals." Then I lay down again and was quiet.

When I was having a lot of problems in my life I often had the dream about not revising for an exam I would be in a panic and wake up distressed. Another dream I frequently had was that I was walking along the street and I'd look down at my feet and I had no shoes on. Someone told me I had these dreams because I wasn't in control of what was happening in my life.

absent also talk in my sleep OH and E have conversations with me this is usually as I am just dropping off.
