You know, one of those dreams where you wake yourself up because you’re laughing so much.

I’ve had several over the past few years, and I thought everybody did. But a friend recently told me they’d never, ever had one and that you only have these LOL dreams when you’re totally relaxed and happy (which sort of fits the times I’ve had them). So I’m wondering how many of my fellow DAZ Forum-ites have had these LOL dreams?

Feel free to post a brief summary of any LOL dream you’ve had if you think it might amuse any of us. Judging by the forums some light relief is definitely required!

Since the poll’s been removed, here are the non-poll results so far from the posts in this thread as at 07 June 2012 08:15 PM (DAZ time, I think?):

Yes I’ve had LOL dreams (2) - vagabondfantasist, Norse Graphics
No I don’t have LOL dreams (3) - lordvicore, Vaskania, wendy♥catz
Not sure, can’t tell from the post (2) - Richard Haseltine, Miss Bad Wolf

Here’s mine for starters - for several years I couldn’t repeat it without falling into fits of hysteria. I’ve got past that stage now (mostly). Not sure where the dream came from. Not sure if anybody else will find it even vaguely amusing. But here it is anyway…

We (can’t recall who) were chasing these guys (can’t recall who) through a ship/steelyard/corridors (can’t recall exactly what/where) when the middle guy stopped, turned round, and in a condescending Prince Himperdinck type voice proclaimed:

So I threw the big kitchen-knife/throwing-knife I happened to be holding at him, and he did, so it missed!

Poll removed - we aren’t sure why polls are enabled, they weren’t on the old forums, but it isn’t the intent that they should be there.

What fantasies? Dirty ones?

Come on, show some courage and tell us…

I’ve never woken up laughing… I once woke up with my fist through a huge hole I made in the wall next to the bed… really hurt… it was wood lathe and thick, real plaster.  You don’t want to startle me when I sleep.
I do have “movie dreams” sometimes with pretty decent plots and one even had its own soundtrack… the cool thing is as far as I’ve ever been able to figure out, it was unique… a little James Horner-like but I don’t think my brain copied it from anywhere… weird because I can’t play any instruments.

Can’t say I’ve had ‘lol’ dreams. Mine are usually action/horror or some sensual crap.

I had a dream last night that I was at a small college.  I felt like everything was wrong.  I tried to figure things.  I somehow turned into Supergirl and was fighting crime but there was some bad guy near by and he must have some kryptonite on him as I could not do anything except watch the other heroes save the day.

I thought it was funny that I was Supergirl but I could not do anything but watch other super heroes do their stuff.

Some times horror, other times floating in outer space.

Anyway, on the first, I remember I had a dream of being chased after watching ‘Alien’ the first time. It was a non-LOL dream.

On LOL-themed dreams, of course! Something about being a cat and singing in “Greatest Talents”.

lol! I started a poll the first week of the forum!
other foums have them too!

my dreams are boring, scarey or weird but never LOL!

They were enabled on the prior forums as well.

Aw, Richard, you party-pooper…
...or did the sandwich doctor force you to take the poll down… 

:D <—smileys don’t seem to be working for me today either… ho hum…

P.S. I’m sure the option to add a poll was there when you started a thread on the old forums, but I never tried it. So I’m not sure if it ever actually worked. Come to think of it all the polls I recall were started by DAZ staff (or maybe mods/admins).

Okay, since the original purpose of this thread (i.e. the poll) is gone let’s see what it turns into. I’m sure that dreams provide many people with ideas for renders, so maybe we’ll end up with a few ideas here instead…

Btw - for anybody whose interested (and judging only by the people I’ve spoken to) it seems that only a small minority have LOL dreams.

Norse Graphics -  I never mentioned ‘fantasises’ - anyway, no flags on the forums!

lordvicore‘s ‘movie dreams’ sound really cool! Given the number of ‘creatives’ on these forums, does anybody have stories of creative genius at work in their dreams? I do recall waking up once from a dream where I was reading aloud from a really interesting book, and I carried on reading aloud - I had no idea what was coming in the story, but it continued to make perfect sense (I wish I’d written it down - maybe I’d be a best-selling author by now!). A friend had a similar experience, except they realised that they were actually just talking gobbledigook!

I like Miss Bad Wolf‘s - wonder where that comes from?  The site/store/forum in a shambles, frustration about being able to nothing, Genesis Supersuit… just coincidence…

I’ve had LoL dreams before, but I can’t remember completely what they’re about now.  One had something to do with us as giggling kids (siblings and cousins).  Maybe my memory will jog, or my SO’s will if I ask him what I’ve said.  lol  

He laughs a lot in his dreams . . . and seems to dance and tap his feet to music a lot also.  Usually, he falls back to sleep so fast I don’t get a clear answer as to what the complete scene is.  I usually just push on him a few times and ask if he’s having a bad dream and he wakes enough to say he’s laughing, or dancing, or something usually fun.  My dreams vary so much that there’s quite a variety.  Lately, I’m having dreams where I’m young.  It’s kind of weird . . . because when I look in the mirror after having gotten up - I’m really disappointed!  LOLOL

Maybe your SO is dreaming on doing tapdancing on “Dancing with the stars”...

I have vivid very weird tecnicolour full smellovision and taste filled dreams but not ones where I wake up laughing!
I even find myself in Carrara and studio after using the computer changing my own parameters!
have nightmares.
the myth that dying in a dream results in real life death is untrue,
I have been in car crashes where I then look at my headless body sprawled through the windscreen presumably from my severed head!!!
