The difference between zero and the smallest possible number? It doesn't matter; once you cross that edge, it might as well be the difference between zero and 1.
The difference between infinity and reality? They are mutually exclusive.

I have a recurring dream that I go to Vegas with some friends and they want to do a bunch of things that don't involve gambling (perhaps it is a work trip and there is a lot of work to do), and I end up wasting my one night that I can go out gambling (perhaps it was a long flight and I'm too tired when I arrive). Usually I don't figure out that I've wasted my one night until it is too late.
Probably have it once a week. Really.

Quote: JIMMYFOCKERFlying
Just curious, I have it all the time as well, ... when you realize that you're dreaming, but want to stay asleep and keep flying because its so awesome, do you find that you really need to concentrate to "keep it up"? That when you don't totally focus on flying, you loose altitude? And sometimes (not often, but once in a while) you can get into a groove and fly like superman anywhere at any speed, ... until you loose focus...

I don't remember my recent dreams well enough to pick any of these categories or to name another.
A dozen or so years ago, I had a period of experience that I suppose falls into the category of recurring dreams. While asleep, I would realize that I was asleep. Each time, my reaction was a degree of panic, as if it were very important for me to wake up. It was very similar to the end of Alice in Wonderland (at least the Disney version), where Alice is running from the cards that are chasing her ("Off with her head!"), peeks out of the hole and sees herself asleep in the garden. It is tragically important that she wake herself up, and I felt the same way. I would (in my dream state) pinch myself, pound on my leg, whatever, seemingly to no effect.
Eventually, I would wake up. My reaction then was always, "Dang, now I need to get back to sleep again for a few hours." Never did learn to just ignore the fact that I was aware of being asleep. That recurring experience went away, fortunately.

Now that is creepy, because by far, my worst set of nightmares were nearly identical...
I had them off and on for a period of 15 years or so until I was about 35 and they suddenly stopped.
But if I had one again, I would immediately recognize it and bitch-slap myself silly until I was SURE I'm awake, and those moments are nothing I'm looking forward to.
The worst it ever got with me was what I called "5 nesting levels deep", where I knew I was dreaming and desperately wanted to wake up, pinchin myself or whatever, only to find that I was really still dreaming, falling back into horror... On that one occasion, on the 5th level when I was never so scarred or despreate in my life, I walked into the bathroom to splash some water on my face, looked in the mirror, and saw my face gushing with blood from a bunch a nails hammered into it somehow. OOOPS!
So I hear you, Doc! Its dreadful. Maybe its what we think dying might be like, sitting in the 'ol coffin, still able to think, but unable to move.
And if THAT is true (my mother's greatest fear throughout her entire life, BTW),
DOESNT THAT IN AND OF ITSELF make a GREAT reason to follow the golden rule, to live a life a decency, without regrets?

I used to have recurring dreams where I was back in college, and taking a test that I hadn't prepared for. I understand that is a common dream.
I have a variation on the "flying" dream; I'm going down a long stairwell of stairs, and instead of taking the stairs one step at a time, I jump at a rate that is equal to the pitch of the stairs, and I float down them effortlessly. At each landing, I do the same, and I descend the stairs, but to no actual destination, no bottom; I descend stairs for the pure joy of floating down them.

One of my most common, though, is crawling like really fast, like trying to go as fast as possible, but still being limited to only crawling...

By far mine is going to Vegas for 10 days to gamble, and forgetting to do just that. Its the last day and we still haven't gone inside a casino, we screwed around for 10 days doing all the crap tourists do. I have the dream a couple times a week.

My wife always wants to go to museums and exhibits and stupid stuff that we can do anywhere. I go to Vegas to make money, not flit around like a camera clicking Japanese guy with an expense account.

My dreams are often about falling. Not from great heights, but even slipping and falling. To the point sometimes that I move around in bed.

Trust me, you don't want to get me started... I have the most bizzare dreams humany possible and I have a good recall of 'em.
How's about this...
What is your one most memorable dream of your life... the one that affected your more than any other ?
Mine is short and sweet (kinda)... I used to work in a hospitals as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I was often the guy who gave CPR and the last guy a lot of, thousands of people, ever saw. In one of my hospitals (Ingham medical center in Lansing, Mi.) we had this head nurse, I think her name was Mrs.Anelli, working midnights with me. She used to lean over and softly wisper into the ears of the patients on their way out, (as soon as the attending doc would "call it"; stop CPR)...
"Everything is gonna be alright. It's all over. Your safe now. They can't hurt you any more"
OK,
I had a dream ONE TIME, and I think it's the only time, in all the dreams I've ever had, where I actually died. I mean like, I always wake up just before I hit the ground or whatever in nightmares. This was NOT a nightmare, though. I dreamed that I had died, and someone wispered in my ear
"Everything is gonna be alright. It's all over. Your safe now. They can't hurt you any more"
and it sounded so soft, so sweet, it made me melt away with joy. And then I woke up.
I NEVER BS or lie.

ditto. i've mentioned in another thread about my sleeping and dreaming habits, and like you, my dreams are very bizzare. i can describe in deep detail much of my dreams down to, say the hair on a persons face, but my descriptions would be incomprehensible. for example, one of last nights dreams: i was in a house so big it had grass growing in it. the bathroom was like a huge cave with 50 foot ceilings and rock walls. the living room had two 20 foot gaurdian lion statues. they were made of wood and were dusty. thats just a small part of this dream. i just lie back and 'watch' my dreams like watching movies, and usually don't even try to analyze them. it would be too much to try.

THe most common dream I seem to have is of a Zombie Apocalypse where the Casino I work in has been relocated to Vegas, and my wife and I as well as a few colleagues that have survived use it as a safe house.
I dont think I want to know what it means.

Tell me..
In your dream, are there chips or is it a chip-less (touch screen) casino?
Knowing so might help determine when it takes place... how far off in the future. Like before or after Vegas runs out of water...

Nope, there are chips in the casino. In one of the dreams I have which takes place slightly later, casino chips are used as currency.

OK one more question
if I may be so bold...
when you threw the chips at the zombies as they made their final charge, did you grab a handfull of them and throw overhead, or did you grab one at a time and take 'em out like ninja throwing stars? Did you use a FOREHAND or BACKHAND grip, in this case ??? Did you FOLLOW THROUGH with your flicks?
Just curious...

Neither. As even in my dreams I know chips are terrible weapons against zombies.
