*****

How often do you remember your dreams?

Occasionally, maybe once or twice a month. I know they say everyone dreams every night, but I wonder about myself! ;-)
About what percentage of your dreams are nightmares?

I have really emotional dreams where I am upset, but I don't know if I'd call them nightmares. I've rarely have truly scary dreams - about 1% of the time, I'd say.
What's the scariest dream you remember? the weirdest?

I vaguely remember having a dream where I was being chased by someone with a knife. I don't remember the details of any other scary dreams.
The weirdest? Hmm... Probably the dream I had in which Obi-Wan Kenobi moved into my house and was the "nanny" for my kids! Hey - nothing wrong with training them in the Force, right? Yes, I am a Star Wars geek.
Do you have recurring dreams? If yes, tell us about one.
Yes! That's one thing I have often - well, as often as I remember my dreams. One of them I've had since I was a child and it goes like this: I am driving a car along a highway and there are lots of overpasses and ramps. I keep driving and I'm getting higher and higher up, driving up ramps and around curves. Then I get really high - almost like climbing to the pinnacle of a roller coaster - and the road just ENDS. My car starts to go over the edge, and I wake up.
Do you believe dreams have any meaning?
Yes. My husband has read books on interpreting your dreams and it's a pretty cool thing to consider. I think it's one way our subconscious works things out.
What's the most recent dream you remember?

I was lying in bed sleeping and woke up to my junior high school boyfriend playing the piano. I sat up and the whole opposite side of my room was like a piano bar. I got up, put on a robe and went to have a drink. (This dream was definitely the result of said ex-boyfriend recently contacting me via email.)
