Tap Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) My life is pure chaos right now. I really, really need some time away. Last night was one of those nights where you go in and out of single theme in your dreams. In my dream, I was at a really, really beautiful cabin. The situation was varied in each part of the dream and didn't really connect together, but the location was blissful. I woke up, so much more refreshed than usual. I really wish I could go back there tonight. I hope that in our lifetimes, they figure out a way to help people control their dreams more. I think that would be a lovely investment of research dollars. I often have very stressful dreams and wake up even more stressed out than when I went to bed. At least once a week, I have bad dreams and then can't go back to sleep. I could use more visits to beautiful cabins. LOL If you could have a vacation dream, what would it be?

nd293 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 That's a great question! My day-dreaming vacation would be nothing like my dreaming vacation. My day-dreaming vacations are the places I really want to visit, full of culture and food and sightseeing. That's not at ALL relaxing, though! If I had a perfect dream about a vacation it would need to involve floating in the ocean. I'm not really a beach vacation person, but the perfect beach is perfect peace. Years ago we were living in the Middle East and I was floating on my back in dead calm, warm sea late on a very hot day, with palm trees in my peripheral vision on one side and the sun setting on the horizon on the other. It was a perfect moment. That's what I want to dream about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tita Gidge Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've had moderate success telling myself what I would (or wouldn't) dream. I picked it up in a random article from an airplane magazine years ago, and find it bizarre that it mostly works! My "dream vacation" and my "vacation dream" are pretty much identical. It involves me, alone, naked in bed with room service and trashy television at a high end hotel for the weekend. I have the room temperature set to overly warm during the day, which I can't do at home because I'm the only one who runs cold. And it's set to polar cool during the night, which I can't do at home because I'm too cheap to pay for it. The only time I leave the bed is to take care of biological functions, and to open the door (robed!) for room service. I may or may not raid the liquor bar. If I dreamt that, I'd wake up so calm, so rested, so pleasant to be around! I've taken those kinds of vacations and have returned to calm, so rested, and so pleasant to be around! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 my dream vacation would be to get away to a cabin in the woods with a creek running through the property. My family would be with me for 1/2 the time and then the other 1/2 everyone would leave and I would enjoy some complete down time alone. I'd bring a loom and lots of books and stay. Maybe watch a movie on CD, becuase I don't want wifi or anything that connects me to the outside world. If the internet was available, I'd be tempted to waste too much time on the computer.

Amira Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I love this question. I almost never remember my dreams, but if I could control my dreams, there are so many vacation dreams I'd want to have. I'd go somewhere new every night. I'd want to be in a yurt on a cliff right next to the Pacific Ocean or in Kyrgyzstan, climbing pyramids in Guatemala, camping and rafting in the Tetons, exploring New York City, taking a cruise to Antarctica, poking around Jerusalem, hiking in New Zealand, biking the Karakorum Highway, seeing the mud brick mosques in Mali.... Going to sleep every night would be so fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 My perfect dream vacation and perfect vacation are pretty much the same. They involve walking on a nice beach (not too sloped or deep sand) for miles and gorgeous vistas all around. Few other people. Hubby and my boys being there would be great as we all enjoy the same things. Then we'd wind up at a local restaurant or market and buy something locally prepared to eat/drink before walking back.
