Do you dream about books?

Post by Melaniep »

I always read before bed to help clear my mind from a busy day. Every now and again (especially if I'm reading fantasy) The characters and/or storylines from my book show up in my dreams. It can make for a very interesting dream!

Does this happen to anybody else? Or is it just me?

Adult Hint: if you watch porn before you go to bed, your dreams will adapt accordingly. Pretty much any activity before bedtime can take effect in your dreams.

What? I have watched porn before bed but havent dreamed about it at all! My dreams seem to be the standard fare of work, life and the countries i have visited, nothing too strange. I dont think there is a connection between activity before bed and your dreams, to be honest..

I agree. People dream about whatever is on their minds, I think. Sometimes I dream about work, but if I get out of work in the early afternoon and then stay up until midnight, how is that an activity before bed? MWAHAHAHAHA! I have defied your ideas! :)

I usually dream about stuff that I am worried about. Wish I could influence my dreams like that. There are alot of stories I would like to see.

That happens to me as well, and I end up playing out a billion scenarios in my dreams before actually dealing with the problems the next day. That can be a bit helpful, sometimes.

Something or someone I've been thinking about before I fall asleep have often turned up in my dreams sometimes very very vividly.
Don't know about the porn though ... it might keep just me awake all night

Huh, interesting. I took this connection for granted, but now I think it might have to do something with me being a man of 22 - those tend to see sex anywhere I guess.

Maybe it could become a great test of maturity. You know, run porn, measure dreams and decide - horny punk / adult man.
