Strange question for you all

[valis2]

Are you always yourself in your dreams?

As a teenager, I was almost never myself. I've been the matriarchal leader of a group of humans being wiped out by machines. I've been Prince Michael, determined to save his people from the black oozing menace that threatens his lands. I've been Death, collecting the souls of sorority cheerleader bunnies. I've been a knight in full armor, riding a horse, who lost his only true love. I've been a superspy agent. I've been a poor Russian peasant running with her husband from the police, who climbed a tower and then threw herself off and died. I've been in Hell, and Purgatory. I've been a mermaid in a swimming pool.

As an adult, I am usually myself, and I'm someone else about 15% of the time, I think. Going through my dream entries, it seems like that ratio more or less holds true, though in one I'm an Asian water dragon, and I think I was Snape in another. And sometimes I'm not quite myself, but a version of myself.

What about you guys? Are you ever a different person in your dreams? Are you ever a different gender? Species? I'm curious.

I have a lot of Riptide dreams, too. Whatever I think about most, I dream. Sometimes it sucks, and sometimes it makes my week. :D

That's so cool--I'd love to have Riptide dreams! Though, like you say, they could be evil and then I'd be depressed.

Yeah, there was one where the guys were zombies. That was weird. But it was compensated for with the one where I was in a jail cell with Murray.:)
