This is a fun thread!
I've also had the test dream! Hilarious that so many others have, too!
I frequently have a variation on the "test" dream. I'm a singer, and I dream that I have been cast in a leading role in an opera, it's opening night, and I haven't even looked at the music.  I'm freaking out, trying to learn and memorize my part by showtime. And that dream always seems so real...When I wake up and realize it's just a dream, I'm always so relieved...
When I was younger, I used to have a dream that a giant blueberry was rolling after me. It was a nightmare and I had to run to get away from it. I always woke up just as it was about to roll over me. Then, one night, I realized I was dreaming before I woke up and I let the blueberry run over me. It was like James and the Giant Peach and I had a really cool adventure. Then I never had that dream again. Weird, huh?

I have the most vivid dreams but rarely repeat them and my husband never dreams, so Dh and I get our coffee in the morning and then I'll start retelling my dream from that night. He is always amazed - aren't you exhausted? All that happened last night??? I always feel like we should be around a campfire for storytime. 
So last night's dream was not one of the more pleasant ones because it actually woke me up but then I started laughing, it was just so ridiculous in the light of day. I dreamed about....Killer Manatees! Faster than a barracuda they can leap higher than a dolphin (spin too, that was a sight) crashing down upon unsuspecting snorkelers, stunning their naive prey.
It was like some awful 1950's movie but so detailed, I could go on about wind direction versus current, color and style of clothing, etc...

OK, I should not have read that with a mouthful of coffee!

My dh almost never dreams...or remembers them, but he did the other night, and woke up laughing. He had a dream about cats in France forming a labor union . Hope they don't give the killer manatees any ideas  .

It must of been b/c of this thread...I dreamt my old teacher, Dr. Piland, was assigning me 50 lapbooks to complete in two weeks!!! 
I was at Franciscan University from 1992-1996! I know someone asked, but I couldn't remember who it was!
Just a few weeks ago my dh had a nightmare which woke me up...he didn't remember anything about it in the morning.

I haven't had the 'time for finals but haven't been to class all semester' dream in a long time - I must be getting old and it's been a loooong time since school. Stacy, that's funny to hear yours. I have the same nurse dream - shift is over and I haven't seen my patients all night. But I haven't worked in 16 years so I have to be realllly stressed to have a nurse dream now.
Recently our dear Monsignor, 94yo and sharp as a tack, told me has a recurring dream that he can't get through the Mass- he gets lost and can't find the right page in the book....
My 16yo ds has dreamt that he has to play for Mass (piano) and serve on the altar at the same time running back and forth, or that he has to play but they haven't picked out the music yet and he has to try to choose songs for Mass as he goes along.
It is interesting how so many of these dreams revolve around not being properly prepared, whether it's Christmas or finals or whatever. What is it about the human person that fears not being prepared? Hopefully we spend out lives preparing for what we most need to be preparing for!
But Killer Manatees...that's just too funny! Now we know what sailors dream of!

Jennifer, love the killer manatee dream! Both dh and I have really vivid dreams, but mine usually top his. Someone told me it means I don't get enough REM sleep...and the way I feel, I would agree!
Thinking about this thread reminded me of some of my other recurring dreams. One I've had since 3rd grade. I'm wearing my little yellow coat to school, go to my locker to take it off and have nothing but underwear. Hate that dream. I'm grown up, but that dream pops up, with me little again with the same coat.
A recurring theme in my dreams is the world is under attack, my extended family and immediate family in danger and I come to save my family and the world. Most of the time it's from the communists. But these dreams are so vivid and long, and so much work I wake up drained.

I have the teeth-falling-out dream periodically. Dh has nightmares pretty much every night. Usually he dreams that ds and I are in danger and he is powerless to help us. It really disturbs his sleep - and sometimes mine! I really wish there was some way to help him sleep peacefully.

Another recurring dream I have is that the "bad guys" are after me and I *do* manage to get in the house ahead of them, but then the lock on the door won't work, so they can get in also, or else I try to call 911 for help, but there is no dial tone. Yikes!
Peace,
Nancy

Well, some of my dc have some very interesting dreams - one dd had a recurring dream when a toddler of snakes attacking her. It was hard for me to tell whether she was awake or asleep because she would sit up straight, eyes wide open and start talking. I, thinking she had awoken from the bad dream and just needed mommy cuddle time just made the matter worse. Then I realized that she was still in the middle of the dream and I was scaring her more. Usually, I would awaken the child in desperation, but then I came up with playing along with the dream, so I started reassuring her that the snakes were all outside, etc. Well this dd, told me insistently that they were right there - didn't I see all the baby snakes. Then, before I could answer, she said, "don't worry mom, I took care of them, I spit at them." Unfortunately, after that, she thought the solution to every problem was to spit at the offender even when she was awake, so we did have to address that.

I don't know whether to laugh or be really scared of those killer manatees showing up in my dreams!
OK...I'm a major dreamer (no dreams for psych dh...you can imagine the teasing I get about mine.) In addition to the testing dreams, I have the one where I'm stuck back in high school because I missed some credits and now none of my degrees count...I hate that one.
I had the tsunami dream for years. It became so regular that one time I realized mid-dream that I was dreaming. I thought, "Drat, this is that wave dream again." So while in the dream, as I was running away from it as usual, I stopped mid run, shouted, "Enough!" or something like that, turned around, looked to see no wave, just a trickle of water hitting my toes. I never had the dream again...not even when dh was deployed to Indonesia for post-tsunami work. How interesting is that?
Love,

Very cool, Angie. I have always been a little envious of people who knew they were dreaming and so could "direct the action" but stopping your dream altogether: amazing!
Thanks everyone for sharing and watch out for those killer manatees and striking cats!
