What Kind of Dreams Do You Normally Have?

I was reading Atenah's blog entry, which led me to think the kind of dreams I normally have. Most of the time, I don't remember whether I dreamt of anything while I was fast asleep and even if I do, I don't remember what it was exactly. Only rarely do I remember what I dreamt - the sequence and story of the dream or just the feelings it invoked.

I always dreamt of running away from something. My steps are big, I can jump very high and sometimes it feels like flying. I will be jumping over buildings or running on the rooftop, almost flying over any obstacles that come before me. It was just like in Kung Fu movies accept I don't need wires. Normally I can't remember the reason I was running or who is chasing but I'd woke up feeling very tired.

Another dream that I always have is about snakes. A few that I still remember...

I was in a room that looked like an archeological site in Tomb Raider with stonewalls, creeping vines, tables made from rock and snakes all over the place. I was tiptoeing and sometimes jumping from table to table to avoid the snakes. My aim is to get to the doorway. Thank God the snakes didn’t bite me.

Someone was holding my wrist, preventing me from moving and either the same or different person holds a snake near its head, pushing the snake's face on my hand, forcing the snake to bite my hands. I can only see my hand and someone holding my wrist and the snake's head with a hand holding it. I was struggling to free my wrist and the snake was trying to free itself too. It was a real struggle. Fortunately, the snake refused to bite me.

Quite recently...

I was face to face with a big black cobra. It slowly raised its head almost to my shoulder level and we only stare at each other. I remember it was very black I couldn't even see the shine on its scale. Its head had expanded too. We were only like a meter away from each other, staring and not moving. I remember feeling very frightened but that's the end of it.

I was in a stadium, watching someone running away from several snakes that are chasing her. The snakes were as fast and I can see her legs touching, almost intertwining with the snakes that have raised their head while running. Sometimes it felt like it were my legs. I wanted to shout and gave her warning and encouraged her to run but I couldn't find my voice. I can only watched helplessly from the seat, standing with both hands gripping the steel barrier that separates a section of seats with another. (Related entry here)

These are only a few that I can remember. Not a very pleasant one isn't it? So do you remember what kind of dreams you normally have?
