Tell me your dreams

[milanfahrnholz]

@Guga

waiting for my train to Milan (the city, not the crazy guy that haunts this forum)

Oh, but the day will come…

@Guga

Suddenly, two trains arrive, one in platform 1 and one in platform 4. I’m in platform 1, but that train makes stops, so it’s going to arrive later than the one in platform 4

Bleh, that starts out like a math test.

@Guga

From now on, the dream is in German.

Okay, now it´s a nightmare!

@Guga

When I woke up, I noticed the dream used the wrong word for “goat”. Everyone kept saying “Kiefer”, which means “jaw”, instead of “Ziege”.

Probably comes from playing to much Jaws simulator…actually that would be an amazing game!

@Someone

To all: How are you remembering your whole dreams? How are you doing this? Most of the times I only remember small parts of my dreams.

I almost never do. I also dream several short and very different dreams a night when I wake up several times during the night.

@Guga

Also the fact that she’s old enough to reclaim her independence, but young enough not to know which rules to follow. It makes me anxious.

And then there´s that thing called puberty that´s also ahead…

@PiecesOfKate

I guess it depends how deeply people are sleeping. I remember mine the most if I’m woken up in the middle of the night right in the middle of one. My problem is that in the morning I tend to wake up after a dream and remember it quite vividly, then before I get a chance to note it down I fall back to

Same here.

@Someone

In the REM phase or before it?

Probably during it. It has been observed that when you walk up someone during it the chances of vividly remembering the dream are higher.

unable to quit the DOSBox.

The horror!

I was really about to tell you guys about what I was dreaming last night, as I´m almost certain it was even crazier than the one I had the night before. But at the moment I don´t remember anything.

Oh, it’s not there already?

@milanfahrnholz

Yes! And I can’t imagine why he had this problems. (Maybe he never thought to just exit Deluxe Paint…)

Yep. Some people set an alarm so they can wake up and jot them down. I remember reading that one of the famous neurologists (Freud? Jung?) used to hold a small bell so that he’d drop it as he went into sleep and then wake up and do the same.

I value my sleep a bit too much for that at the moment.

Soon you all will come to germany by trains.

Okay that came out unintentionally tasteless…

@PiecesOfKate

But doesn’t interrupt this the sleep? If I would do that, I would be very tired the next morning.

@milanfahrnholz

Now I’m glad that I am in Germany already.

@milanfahrnholz

… trains.

Oh. Wait…

[milanfahrnholz]

@PiecesOfKate

Sounds like something that rather Jung would do, as he was the more practical of the two. Note however that neither of them were neurologist.

@Someone

But doesn’t interrupt this the sleep? If I would do that, I would be very tired the next morning.

I envy people who can sleep 8 full hours without an interruption!

[PiecesOfKate]

@Someone

Indeed. But you’d have a nice, juicy compendium of dreams!

[PiecesOfKate]

@milanfahrnholz

Note however that neither of them were neurologist.

Maybe not Jung then. But Freud was, among other things.

[tasse-tee]

I don’t dream as often as I would like to. Looking forward to having a dream that can be analysed here!

Senk ju for träveling wis Deutsche Bahn!

In many cases we just forget (or can’t remember) that we have dreamed.

@Someone

Sometimes I dream and then forget most of the details when I think about it in the morning. I remember things for the first second or two that I focus on it, then I feel the gears in my brain coming to a halt and I can’t remember any more details after that. It’s a weird feeling!

I’d be surprised if I had no recollection in the morning that I had been dreaming that night.

[Gffp]

Does the dream stop 'cause you wake up? Or it just ends?

No *beeping* way

I spent three years of my life working on a dentistry software, simulating jaws has been my nightmare for a looooong time.

Off topic! I was the only “foreigner” at the time, and when the software was almost out, they asked me to check the Italian translation. The problem is, German and English have a single word for jaw, and it can be upper or lower. Italians don’t. We have a mascella (upper jaw) and a mandibola (lower jaw), so when we had to translate just the single word “jaw”… it was a mess.

@Gffp

Does the dream stop 'cause you wake up?

I wake up suddenly.

[Gffp]

You had to wake up? I mean to go to work or other reasons? 'Cause maybe the dream worked to get you excited to the point you wake up, giving meanwhile also a pleasant setting with people you would be really happy to meet. That’s quite common for me.

I think you´re gonna need a bigger boat…

@Guga

(upper jaw)

Oberkiefer

@Guga

(lower jaw)

Unterkiefer

Or you think I just made those up?

The dentist even splits it into quadrants.

@milanfahrnholz

The dentist even splits it into quadrants.

As I said, I worked three years on a dentistry software in a German software house. So I think I know enough about Kiefer, be it Ober or Unter, and their numeration system and so on.

That’s how I found out that I’m out of wisdom teeth.

[milanfahrnholz]

It just sounded like you said there were no german words for upper or lower jaw.

[Guga]

No, I meant the opposite. You have also “jaw”, with no indication on the position. Italians don’t.

[milanfahrnholz]

Oh okay. So you always specify. Yeah that may make thinks more complicated.

How do you call the doctor who puts the braces on your teeth?
