Do you ever dream of your childhood?

I living up to this day!!

[Moose]

I don't. I can't even remember most of my childhood. I've supressed a lot since I'm from a broken/abusive home.

I wish I could remember some things though.

[Naive]

I actually don't Well at least not a lot.

I do have a lot of beautiful memories though.

[HokeyReligions]

I'm still in my childhood!

My dreams are largely scary dreams where the world is dark and dangerous, monsters lurk in so-called safe zones, and parents fear pain when their children walk out the door. Oh wait, that's the world as it is.

I had one dream a few years ago that actually changed my life. I don't believe it was just a dream. I won't go into it -- it would take reams and reams, but the impact it had on me that night and day have permanently changed part of my life. No, it was not a religious experience, although others may interpret it as such had it happened to them.

I don't dream about my childhood. I'm like Moose in that I can't remember much of it! Snap-shot memories is all. Although, the older I get the more memories I have of my youth and less memories I have of 'now'. !

nope – I keep defaulting back to my high school days, and relationships with certain people. The absolute worst part of those HS-themed dreams is my chasing after a guy I had a huge crush on from my grade school days through high school.

last night I dreamed it turned out that I had married him instead of the guy I actually married and I woke up feeling weird ... but I digress. I think I don't have dreams about my childhood because for the most part, it was a very happy one. Teenage years weren't.

No...thank God.

I'm being nosy here, but would you share? I can recall the one specific dream that helped me change the very way I think about about myself, because it helped me to accept (and appreciate) me for myself ...

[Thinkalot]

Yes, I have one very happy recurring dream about my childhood...set in the childhood home which I loved.

Well, my dreams have been sexual fantasies as of late.

I was really a hyperactive kid growing up - plus I haven't been out of childhood as long as you guys have. So not a lot of dreams about the past. I do think about it a lot. Trying to solve some of my "problems" over break. Like my issues with talking about sex and why I can't seem to get close to a woman. The first one is because of porn and the second is because I was hurt real bad by a girl I went to Prom with. Didn't really think much of it at the time, but I realized that I never had a good time at another school dance after that. She basically used me to see this senior she had a crush on. Anyway, that's behind me. I just need to overcome these so I can have a healthy relationship with a woman. They seem to be the biggest problems I have around women.

But I digress. Must be the bad attention span. Oh well, my childhood was happy for the most part. Jr. High and the first half of HS was a hectic time though.
