Often times I find my DC’s saying things that make no sense at all, calling things by names that don’t fit, ect. But I always know what they mean.
It could be anything from calling a mushroom a bullet to just saying something like “Tell the white sun” and meaning “Pick that thing up”
I find it strange, if anyone ever heard the dialogue in my dreams they’d think they were listening to a foreign film that was poorly translated, but I always know exactly what’s going on.
Furthermore, there’s never any actual sound in my dreams, kind of like if you immagine the sound of something; you can’t hear it, but you know exactly what it sounds like. The entire sound in my dreams is like that.
I was really just wondering if I’m the only one who experiences dream sounds and dialogue this way, or if anyone else does?
This sounds so familiar that it makes me smile We understand the meaning behind the words in dreams, instead of just the words. It is still funny how strangely the DCs can choose their words…and i often wonder what the connection is between those words and the real subject in my subconscious.
I’m not sure if there’s really no sound. It’s been proved that by now almost everybody dreams in colour and in sound. But I suppose it could be like that. I’ve had a couple of dreams that were silent films actually, where I would disappear and random words would appear (that’s what you get from watching a marathon of silent films. Worth it though).
For the randomness, I can’t really relate to that, as normally my DC’s are very well behaved,
But I suppose that is possible. For example, have you never dreamed in a language different from your main one? It has happened to me, and then sometimes words appear as though they should exist, and look like they should belong there, but neither exist nor look like anything recognisable (for example, lktyur sounded like was perfectly acceptable at one point in one dream). It’s all because you don’t realize it doesn’t make sense. Now, whether it’s possible to use it as dream sign, I’m not sure. But theoretically yes…
That’s interesting, I’ve never dreamed in another language (that I can remember), but obviously there is some form of audible communication in my dreams or they’d all be silent films like you described, it’s just not audible in the sense that sound vibrations hit my ear drum and make a noise mesurable in bass and treble.
Although occasionaly if a word, phrase, or sound is exceptionally important in my dreams it will have and audible, real-world type sound and I’ll hear it quite clearly.
e.g. An old hag dream of mine in which a black figure ran around a circular room of which I was in the center, shouted “There’s a victim in the house” so loud it was as if someone blasted it from a guitar amp next to my head–then came towards me and proceeded to strangle me… I was paralyzed for about 2 minutes after I woke up.
But I do have DC’s (and sometimes even myself) say words that don’t actually exist and they’ll have meaning, and I’ll think they’re perfectly normal words, 'till I wake up, then I’m just like…
We understand the meaning behind the words in dreams, instead of just the words. It is still funny how strangely the DCs can choose their words…and i often wonder what the connection is between those words and the real subject in my subconscious.
