The majority of your dreams consist of STEREO equipment. I don't mean dreams like goals, I mean dreams like as in REM sleep patterns. I dream about stereo stuff more nights than not. Some good (cable upgrade), some bad (I honestly wanted, got, and loved some BOSE bookshelfs).

Does anybody else experience this? Hopefully minus the BOSE dreams which I must seek counselling on.
Make it Funky! :)

    Funny you posted that!!
    I think about stereo stuff all the time,all day long, dream at night, first thing I want to do when I wake up is take a dump reading Homet theater or sound and vision or any other's I have stacked up in the bathroom.
    Hell I even do it for a living,I used to be a auto mechanic,but found that my hobbie pay's better(go figure).
    My better half think's there's something wrong with me.Also think's I spend way to much money.

    Maybe we all need a little counceling:confused:
    :D

    I had a dream once that I was watching my HT in my basement HT room. The room was awesome. I dont remember the movie. The design of it was absolutely perfect and some of the aspects of the room I would have never thought of. When I woke up I realized the basement was still unfinished. I walked downstairs and looked around and sure enough, the room I saw in the dream was possible. Now if I could get my lazy a$$ moving I could make it a reality! The funny part of the dream was that I was not necessarily looking at the room, just watching the movie. Let me tell you though, this room will be awesome one day if I can remember it all. A key to remember your dreams is to think long and hard about it the minute you wake up. If you don't then all will be forgotton in a very short time.

    Juice it is perfectly normal that you don't remember your dreams, at least that is what my AP Psych teacher told our class. We did a whole chapter on dreams. It was actually quite interesting. There are 5 stages of sleep. REM or rapid eye movement is the first stage which only lasts a couple of minutes. During your first couple minutes of sleep, Your eyes twitch and you can actually have halucinations. Then you fall deeper and deeper into sleep until the sleep cycle returns to REM stage about 40 minutes after the initial cycle. So you can actually have about 9 cycles of sleep in which to have REM stage during a 8-hour period of sleep. Freud, that crazy **** is a Psychoanalysist and he believed that the solutions to one's problems were in dreams. He used many different techniques to determine a dreams manifest cotent (or the real meaning of the dream). The latent content is the actual story line that happens in the dream.

    what if you are dreaming and figure out this is a dream??I was told these are lusid dream's.I have over time been able to realize that i'm dreaming in my dream and was like awake inside my dream.Weird because I have talked to people in my dream and tried to tell them that this is a dream and you should remember this when you wake up.The mind is a weird thing,funnier when your dreaming and realize it is in fact a dream.

    Man I thought I was the only one. As soon as the alarm goes off in the morning , BAM, thoughts of stereo equipment dance in my head. I think of all the different things I could do and all the systems I could bild if I had the money. It's even hard for me to do my school work. I can't stop thinkin about em. At least I am not allone. :)
