Answer 1

Yes, indeed I do. I dream of people from my distant past that are long gone and others in my more recent past that I don't know if they're still alive or not. I keep telling myself I'm going to check on the more recent ones but I never do and then I forget til I dream again. Most of my dreams are plea sent ones and I look forward to my trips back in time.

Answer 2

I dream in color and when I first started on Yahoo Answers, I would dream that I was answering questions.  I do dream about others, but not that often.

Answer 3

Once in a great while, I'll dream about my grandparents or my father. Though they are all deceased in real life; it always seems as if they want to tell me something important in my dreams.

Answer 4

Yes I have had dreams that feature my Mom and other loved ones gone away, they seem so real, and I too am sad when I wake up and realize it was only a dream.

Answer 5

Not in quite awhile. Though last year I had more than alot of them. They all had to do with people who were no longer in my life, due to

separations or dying. I had so many where they were fiances' I'd had

for a short time, and in my dreams I was always trying to find them.

I'd catch a glimpse of them as they were seen going around a corner,

or driving by in a car. I would see them so briefly and then they were

out of sight. There were a few though where I did see them close

enough for conversation. And they were even better looking than in

real life. I'm sure that must have had some valid explanation to a

psychologist who studies dreams. But to me, it just made the dreams

more greater. I forgot until just now, that I have dreamt of my husband

many times too. And though he's never left me, in my dreams, he

goes off to meet me somewhere later, and I end up trying to look for

him, when he doesn't arrive at the meeting place. Those dreams are

usually very disturbing, as I usually end up in danger, where someone

is coming after me, and I'm trying to find my white knight to save me.

Luckily, I never come to the end in these dreams. I make myself wake

up and end them, because they are turning into nightmares. And

who needs them?

Answer 6

I dream of members of my family. We are together doing things.  They are normal size.

I don't know if I dream in color or black and white.

Answer 7

This is a good question. Yes I dream in color. I always dream of people from the past. This may sound crazy, but I really enjoy my dreams! It is funny, when I first wake up I can remember the dream and by the time my feet touch the floor the dream becomes confusing. It is hard to explain, even to me. Remember The Mamas and The Papas?  " Dream a Little Dream Of Me."    Poppy

Answer 8

I don't dream...someone must have stolen my color monitor.

Answer 9

I sure do.  

Answer 10

This has happened to me a lot more often in the last couple of years.  They usually appear much as I remembered them, although sometimes they will look different but I'm still able to recognize them.  I always dream in color, and sometimes there's even a sense of smell and tactile feeling.  Sometimes those sensations are pleasant, sometimes not.  

There are a couple of people who I'm thrilled to "see," and have been experimenting with giving myself suggestions before sleep that I'll "meet" them in my dream for that night.  So far, I haven't been very successful; I have to wait for them to show up when they feel like it, it seems.  I'm just excited whenever they decide to surface.  I also often have the feeling of them being around even if I'm not asleep, and would like to think that maybe they are showing up in my dreams so we can interact a little more directly.  

Answer 11

For 42 years, every few years or so, I would dream about my first love. The dream would be about us getting back together. He just a month ago located me on Classmates.com. We are arranging a reunion in two weeks. He said I have always been in his heart. So, who knows what will happen. It is amazing that our lives have been very similar. We both have two sons, we each have 4 grandchildren, and we are both drug and alcohol counselors, and still attending school because we love education.  We have talked everyday via phone, messenger, and emails. We have even lived within 100 miles of each other 3 times in that 42 years. WOW, what a life!!!

Answer 12

My very first real girlfriend still pops up on occasion even after all these years. I'm lucky, I dream in color and have all the senses working too; smell, taste etc. My point of view also changes. Sometimes I'm the observer sometimes I see through the participents eyes. It's nice.

Answer 13

I don't sleep well enough to have dreams that I remember anymore.  I wish I did.  I used to dream of loved ones.

Answer 14

I dream in colour many times and those who I love who have passed on and it is sad to wake sometimes!

Answer 15

Yes I do. Quite often. I dream in color.

Answer 16

Yes I dream but not that often these days as one has to be in deep rem to dream. When I do dream it is always in color and can be very vivid. Sometimes they are so real I have to ask others if it happened or I dreamed it! lol! I often dream of people I haven't seen in a long time and usually it is working out my frustrations or just being happy to see them. I love to dream about family and loved ones I don't see now and wish they would not end and do wake sometimes sad that the dream ended. Like Gladys, I see them as they were but I am as I am now. Amazing experience!

Answer 17

Oh Dizz, yes I do.  It's almost eerie because I will go back 50-60 years to people that have long been gone, but they are just like they were back then.  The only difference is that I am as I am today!  It's almost like traveling back in time because I wake up feeling like I just saw them.  And the details of the surroundings are so vivid too.  I wish I could bring a camcorder and video tape my dreams!

Answer 18

Never, I rarely dream of anybody I really know.  

My dreams are always in color.
