Dreaming in Thought?
March 26th, 2008 Posted in TammiI was talking to a dear friend of mine about dreams. I’ve been having some very unusual ones lately. My dreams are vivid. There’s lots of color and the sequences often play out like movies. The sense of smell and touch are often involved in some of them as well.
My friend is having interesting dreams, too. She was describing some of them in great detail. After discussing a handful of examples including lucid dreams she added, “Those are better than when I dream in thought.”
She explained that she sometimes dreams in words—well, in a way. From what I understand it is like having a series of thoughts that you really don’t control.
I’ve never experienced dreaming in thought but I am so fascinated by this that I have to ask. Have you ever dreamed in thought? What is the experience like for you? Can you related to dreaming in thought even if you never have?

I have dreamt like this - and it’s often as I’m dropping off to sleep … my thoughts meander, mash together, break away and start the process all over again. It’s quite weird and strange .. because there is an element of control, like lucid dreaming, but its still very out of control as to where you do go.
Unlike my other dreams … I often do not remember them, which is a shame, because I wake with a sense of having ‘got’ something really important but now sense of what it was, other than a lingering ‘feeling’. Rather annoying.

I don’t recall dreaming in thought, but I guess it’s possible I have. I don’t know. It does sound interesting.
