Are YOU creative?

[Deb in IA]

UI professor says creative people recall dreams
People who are creative, imaginative, and prone to fantasy are more likely to have vivid dreams at night and to remember them when they wake up, according to research appearing in the May 2003 issue of Personality and Individual Differences . David Watson, a professor of psychology in the University of Iowa College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said that the more bizarre a dream was, the more likely his subjects were to remember it. Dream recall varied, with a few participants remembering a dream every night and others never remembering a dream throughout the three-month study.




So, do YOU remember your dreams?

 

[snoopy]

Yup, I do. And I have some WILD dreams too, I might add.

 

[CEDmom]

I'm prone to really wacky dreams especially if I'm overtired.

 

[Debi]

I remember most of my dreams, and I must say that some of them are rather interesting. Great article, thanks for posting!

 

[olena]

I remember many of my dreams. Lately, they've been centering around where I grew up and old friends.

 

[binny]

yep and I remember almost all my dreams!

 

[preshi]

I remember my dreams but I hardly feel like I am creative...

 

[Kitty 34]

I remember most of my dreams.

 

[FergieTCat]

That's interesting. I consider myself creative and I do remember most of my dreams.

Unfortunately, I had some 9/11 dreams last night (planes crashing into buildings). Haven't had those in quite a while.

 

[Mishetta]

I remember quite a few...and I have been told that I'm very creative.

 

[Snowwark]

I don't consider myself creative, but I do regularly remember my dreams. DH claims to never remember his dreams.

 

[Sonya]

I don't think that I'm creative but I do daydream a lot and I remember several dreams a night. I also dream in color.

 

[figmentvi]

I remember my dreams very vividly and some of them I remember months later.

I'm what I would consider a creative person. I love to do needlepoint, sew, sing and perform in community theater. I've even gotten into some creative cooking lately. I just posted a great recipe for veal scallopini that I came up with last night on the Crafting, Cooking and Scrapping Board. Check it out !!

I usually remember mine, not always though. Often I'll have deja vu about something and the more I think about it I realize I was having deja vu about a dream!

I get paid to be creative -

interesting article.

I have dreams that Spielberg would be proud to have come up with. I often dream of celebrities, and I remember many of my dreams.

 

[Rajah]

Yep.

 

[ILUVDXL]

Yup! And sometimes I wish I didn't remember. I have very bizzar dreams. But lately most of them are about my Mom which I find very comforting. I hardly consider myself creative.

 

[Pin Wizard]

Ha! Interesting. I'm neither creative nor do I remember dreams unless I wake up in the middle of one. At times I can duplicate something right in front of me, but I've got nil in the creativity department.

 

[Saffron]

I remember a lot of my dreams! I have dreams that "feel" real, you know what I mean?

My dreams are usually strange and quirky, mostly very entertaining, usually fun.

I love to remember my dreams! Especially the naked ones! Well wait, it depends on whose naked in them!

I remember a lot of my dreams, but I am not sure I'd be considered a creative person.
