Sleep Sounds

[oracne]

Do you have sound in your dreams?

Mine are sometimes really noisy. I know this because if awakened unexpectedly from a dream, I'm startled by how quiet it is in my room. Then I wonder if there was a real noise that woke me, and sometimes there is, but it's a different noise than the ones I was dreaming.

That's just me diverting the monkey chatter from our house into your brain so I can get some peace and quiet.

Yup.

Sound? Yup. Sometimes loud enough in dream to startle me awake.

Normal, waking life sounds, yeah. Talking and whatever "natural" sounds should be happening. Last night I had an annoying dream that I was in a sailboat race, and not only did I bring my two cats with me (waking life I only have one), their carrying cases were broken and didn't keep them in well. My boat crashed off some forest coast, and I was worried I'd lose my cats out of the carriers. I heard the sound of the sails and ropes, and the voices when the people came to rescue me. Also smaller things like the sound of the plastic case as I passed it to one of the rescuers.

I can't think of any loud dreams offhand, but I'm sure if one had been in a loud setting it would have had the loud sounds for that area.

I do have sound in my dreams, though sometimes sound from the real world intrudes in my dreams as well.
