Do you think about stuff before you fall asleep?

Question

Before I fall asleep in bed I'm always thinking about something...pleasant...lol. But I never or rarely have dreams relating to these thoughts and images.

Answer 1

It's not your conscious mind that's the bugger of your dreams.  It's the subconscious mind s******g around with you when you're unconscious. Follow that? It's absurd, but true.  But I'll bet you this:  Try eating something deep-fried, followed by a liter of the sweetest soda you can find and, man, oh, man, will you have the most lucid dream of screaming  your head off while, zombies, vampires or the school bully you feared back in grade school chasing you around at the twilight hour.

Answer 2

Yeah I find that I can manipulate my dreams by concentrating on a certain thought, which helps because I'm afraid of the dark and if I don't do this then I usually have the most freakiest dreams.

Answer 3

My mind is always busy. I think about many things in bed before I fall a sleep because I am too busy during the day to think of any thing. It is a part of my down time which I need.

Answer 4

Lol, every day

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes. I don't usually dream about what I think about, but I do sometimes.. rarely. At least rarely I remember it.

Answer 10

before i fall asleep it's always about something bad.  i almost always have nightmares about what i think about before bed too.  i guess it's cause i'm a worrier.

Answer 11

When i dream (which is everynight) I often dream about stuff from earlier in the day not what i think about right before sleeping. Sometimes i get a mixture of everythign i think about from the day and it all gets muddled up int oa weird concoction.... but yeah. Just because you think something before you sleep doenst mean you will always dream it, sadly ;)

Answer 12

I do too think pleasant thoughts and have a dream that gots nothing to do with what i was thinking. It's weird. Hate it when I'm having a good dream then wake up......pisses me off.
