Most of the time my dreams are better than life. Of course I also have dreams that the majority of people would consider nightmares. I think that it can only be a nightmare if you're truly afraid, and my weird dreams just don't scare me. Dreams of being in massive crypts, being chased by vampires and skeletons, dreams of falling into the blackest pit only to wind up in an even deeper crypt, dreams of giant lizards guarding forbidden gates, dreams of being hunted by fuzzy green scorpion-things with swirly red eyes that would infect you with a moss disease, dreams of wandering in peat bogs covered with heavy fog, dreams of killing things (self defense mind you). I like these dreams, and I have no fear. They pretty well could never happen in my real life.

The dreams I hate are the prophetic ones. I've had numerous dreams of things that would happen to me later on in life (usually a month to a couple years after the dream), but it's never something like winning lotto numbers, it's always bad stuff: g/f breaking up with me, THE MAN audits my taxes, things like that. These are my nightmares. I might not remember after a while, but when I'm in a real situation and I get that sinking feeling in my stomach, I suddenly recall with clarity the dream. Never exactly the same as life, but the important stuff is still the same. Now if only I could harness this power for evil.... I mean good....

I remember a lot of my dreams, and I recall a dream from when I was in sixth grade with clarity to this day. That dream was more than 20 years ago (lizard guarding gate dream).
