Everybody dreams, but many don't remember them. I, however, have been haunted by dreams my entire life. A multitude of types of dreams.

I've had the ones that just summarize recent events in life. I've dreamt in black and white. I've dreamt in colour. I've had dreams where I'm observing events as an outsider and ones where it seems I'm actually there. I've had good dreams and nightmares. I've had these weird dreams where it feels like I'm wide awake and surrounded by spirits. I've watched movies in my sleep. I don't have too many sex dreams, but there are a few, and I dream of masturbation, sometimes I wonder if I AM masturbating as I sleep. I've dreamt about people before meeting them and buildings and places without being in them. I've had dreams come true word for word and recurring dreams. I've had realistic ones and bizarre, abstract ones.

I've flown and floated in my sleep, sometimes losing control so I end up stuck to the ceiling. And just so you know, if you dream of falling off a cliff or something, you don't die when you hit the ground. I've survived it more than once.

For these reasons and more, I have decided to keep a dream journal. I've wanted to for years and have tried in the past, but to no avail. I figured if I keep it online, I might be more likely to keep it and that the more I write, the easier they will be to figure out and remember. I've also convinced myself that I'm prophetic, so if I keep a record, I will have proof later when they do come true.

This may or may not work out. It may or may not be interesting, but we'll see.

It's called id dreams because:

1)I am called by some 'Iddy' or 'The Id'
2)they're my dreams (or they will be)
3)The Id, according to Sigmund Freud, "is the centre of our primitive instincts; it is blind and ruthless and caters to the business of gratifying our desires and pleasures." Also, according to Freud, "'Dreams are invariably a product of conflict...releasing tensions that come from unattainable wishes.' It is the Id which unleashes our dreams; their meanings are expressed in symbols." [all this according to the second link that came up in Google.]
