So, do you dream often? What are they about, and do you log them?

From my Dream Log...

I had a dream that I was on some sort of a boat, and in the cabin, I believe it's called? It was really weird, because the part that I was in looked like a classroom in an old school building (I'd have to say that the construction was fro mthe 1930s to the 1940s), and there were people in it, and maps everywhere. Which I like! I love to pore over old maps and history books! I also remember a table with coffee, tea, and bagels. Not too sure about muffins or donuts, or any of that, but I do remember coffee, bagels, and tea.
It's just that the maps were "off", at least to me. I recall that I came from THIS reality but somehow ended up in the one in my dream, where the continents looked a little different. Here's what stood out to me.
I remember looking at East Asia and seeing that...
-Cambodia was larger and had an almost octopus-like shape.
-Japan was shaped differently: Honshu forked out to the southeast and Hokkaido seemed to be a part of it.
-There was no Yellow Sea.
What I can recall of Europe, is that the Mediterranean Sea might also have... not existed on this map. There were small bodies of water like lakes where it was, but nothing like our Mediterranean Sea!
The Red Sea was also absent?
What was the most concerning to me about the United States, was that the Great Lakes were of a different shape and that Lake Michigan was much larger, so much so that the part of my home State that I was born in (Illinois) didn't exist. In fact, when I said something about being from Illinois, everyone looked really confused, and asked me what I was talking about.
I could NOT wrap my head around this at all, and eventually had a meltdown in a room full of people who seemed to believe what I was saying. Some of them seemed disgusted, or cold, while some seemed concerned. Everyone else seemed, well, disturbed... I remember someone, and for some reason I remember it was a man from Cambodia, trying to comfort me, but my being too caught up in just how wrong the other map looked for it to really matter to me at the time. He said things like, "Hey, dude, it's going to be okay, this is hard to accept, but it's the reality.".
I frequently dream about watching the continents shift, sink, and change and am always really distressed throughout.

Wertle-wertle-wertle-woo, wertle-woooo...

I dream, & sometimes I have some pretty interesting ones, but I can barely hang onto them long enough to tell my wife in the morning, much less write them down.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

My dreams are pretty mundane-----------I dream about work, and my family.

Very occasionally I'll have some vivid dream that I'm back in school and I've forgot a giant assignment, and it'll freak me out so much that I'll wake up and run to my backpack to find the course materials and syllabus, only they won't be there, and then I'll remember that I'm not in school at all. Truly, my subconscious is a vicious prankster.

I haven't dreamed much in years. The rare dreams I get now are fragmented and meaningless.

I dream fairly often... they're weird and I enjoy the weirdness of them for they are entertaining.

I write down ones that seem to matter to me. These dreams are like a message... and I usually find them to be very reassuring.

I rarely have nightmares now. YAYYY go me!!!
