  • Dreams and Dreaming

    Dont know if this id the right place to post this but here goes.

    I was musing the other day about the dreams you have when you are asleep. Most of the time of course we dont remember our dreams, but just occasionaly one sticks in the memory. I was wondering what sort of dreams nudists had. For instance in your dreams are you nude or clothed. Do you have nightmares about wearing clothes just like textiles would have nightmares about being naked?

    I think my own dreaming experiences are what has led me raise this issue. Before i rediscovered nudism, i can recall frequently having dreams about having to go out in public wearing little or no clothes (or maybe clothed on top and nude below). The interesting bit about these dreams is that it seemed as if i was the only one who could either see i wasnt dressed properly or the ony one bothered by it. I do wonder if there is a message there but i dont know what.

    Since rediscovering nudism and starting to sleep nude, i have dreamt very little that i am aware of, however last night i had a very vivid dream concering nudism; I will try to share it with you if i may.

    I was back in my teenage schooldays (i think) and i was with a group of other guys about to go swimming. Everyone got changed and headed out to the pool. i was one of the last in to change and was under a bit of pressure to get ready. For some reason we were told to wear t shirts with our swim suits. Mine was quite a long tshirt but didnt quite reach below the crotch. I rushed out onto the poolside to join the others. The instructor/teacher hadnt yet arrived poolside. One guy was moaning about forgetting his swim suit and had had to come out in hs underwear. Then one of my mates came over and wispered in my ear 'you forgotten something mate?' Didnt think so. Checked attire, goggles - yes, tshirt - yes, swimsuit - NO! OH MY GOD. Panic id come out with out them. Didnt know what to do, had to go back but became frozen to the spot - couldnt think of an excuse to go back into the changing rooms, and didnt want to draw attention to my 'exposure'. Oh well just have to get on with it i thought, I have t shirt on, just have to hope noone notices. Unfortunaltely someone did and word spread throught the group. I could tell, but the secretive conversations between the other lads.

    'Alright', i thought, i'ts no good I have to go back.' I then made a bolt for the changing rooms and sprinted as fast as i could back to my kit. After taking a while to find my swimsuit, I was rather releived to get them on. I then made my way back poolside.

    I dont know what had gone on, but it sems there had been some form of revolt whilst i was 'changing' After a swift reprimand from the instructor for 'being late' (he could talk!). i soon found out what all the trouble was about. The lad who had forgotten his kit had been told he couldnt wear his underwear in the pool (hygeine reasons or something). He was given the choice: swim naked or not at all! He was a keen swimmer and claimed it was not his fault he didnt have his swimsuit with him. He chose to swim naked. It was this that prompted the rebellion amoungst the others. they said they would not swim with someone who wasnt wearing a suit. Not sure why this was a problem, either they didnt want to swim with someone nude or they wanted to do the same themselves!

    The instructor was fuming. He was obviously a strict chap, and couldnt beleive his ears. He turned around to the lads and said ' i am not having my time wasted. You WILL have this swimming session. OK so if you dont like swimming in suits with someone without one, youd better take yours off, then you'll all be the same. I will not have you lot rebelling on me'

    I was kind of thinking 'my god, I was panicing about forgetting to put my suit on, now i am going to have to take it off anyway!'

    The instructors statement sent ripples of conversation though the group, comments like 'what the heck', 'nothing to hide' 'might be fun' and one or two 'aint getting my tackle out infront of everyone'. In the end one by one thy all complied. Either well up for nude swimming, or too keen to swim to be bothered.

    Sadly this is where the story ends, I think i was just about to join in when i woke up! Shame, never got to swim nude in company even in a dream!!

    Theres one dream i wish had been for real. Sadly it could never have happened for real, since by the time i got to do swimming at school, it had become co-ed. I dont think it had ever happened in the past when it was male only. Besides it couldnt happen these days anyway, evne in a single sex school. Too many pervs around to risk it.

    I should add that as the dream was a bit vague, i have added some detail and made assumptions as to events. i am not even sure it was a school setting either , its just an 'impression' i got as i often have dreams going back to schooldays (strange or what?)

    Anyway I hope you like the 'story' and i look forward to reading your 'dream experiences'!

      Very intesting and vivid dream recollection, thanks for sharing it.

      Not being terribly well-versed in dream analysis I'm typically loath to assign meanings to my own dreams, much less anyone else's! I would however say that the frequency of dreams in which I am and no one else is nude seems to have increased in the few years since I became a nudist, and I can't say that my dream nudity has been much of a bother to myself or anyone else in the dreams. I have yet to experience the inverse of the typical nude dream; the one in which I'm the only one wearing clothes!

        I have had a recurring dream that centers around trying to get to a hot springs up in the mountains. I don't know that I've ever been successful in getting into the fictatious water to enjoy but I've certainly tried in my dreams. I think this dream comes from a foiled attempt about 6-7 years ago to actually visit a privately owned hot springs here in the state. Let's just say the outing didn't go as planned and we never made it up there. I suppose my subconscious is still trying to get me there!

          I can recall or remember re-occurring dreams I had before becoming a nudist way back in junior or high school of arriving to first class slightly late, sitting down at the rear of the class, looking down and finding myself nude. I always woke up before figuring a way to get out of there or excuse myself without being seen or embarrassed, or getting in trouble.

          I also had real fears or "what if" thoughts on occasion of having to get in front of the class to read or answer something when I was having or thought of one of those unforeseen unwanted uncontrollable teen age erections while sitting in class.

          After waking from a dream can anyone recall if you thought your dreams are in full Color or Black and White?

            I have had a few dreams where I am the only one naked. Usually, I try to hide until I realize no one else really takes notice or cares that I am naked.

            Unwired, dream analysis is more than looking in a book for key images. It involves the feelings the dream evokes and where in your life those feelings mean anything. Of course, this assumes that the dream is the analytic kind. Sometimes, dreams are just meant to be taken as dreams and not looked into.

            Gary, I dream in color. In a related aspect of dreams, there was a story in my local paper (I'll try to find it later) that talked about whether dreams are primarily first-person, primarily third person or both. I think I fall in the both column.

              I am constantly having nude dreams - usually where I am naked in VERY awkward situations where most if not all others are clothed. Mostly I am not embarrassed but I feel after I wake up that these sort of dreams indicate some sort of underlying insecurity with my nudity.

                  Thinking about it maybe the dreams where you are naked and noone but you is bothered or notices is an indication that whilst you yourself have worries about being nude socialy, to others its not a problem.

                  The other thing it could indicate is that you have a deep desire to be nude but have no way to express it except in dreams.

                  I think either scenario would apply in my case. I want to be nude but still have reservations/insecurities about actual social nudity.

                  Other recurring dreams I have tend to concern going on a journey and either not getting there or getting lost. Another is where i want to go somewhere or do something but things keep getting in the way to delay me or hold me up.

                  I also find twisted versions of past experiences/memories manifest themselves as dreams.

                  When i dream i dream in colour. Sometimes the dream can be so vivid and real feeling that I dont realise I am dreaming and think the experience is real. In these situations I often have trouble 'coming out of it' and waking up. Not nice if the dream is an upsetting or disturbing one.

                    Usually dreams of you being the only one naked is interpreted as that you are hiding something about yourself that you are embarassed about. Usually something you feel is a character flaw, or you feel ashamed of, and if you feel uncomfortable about being naked in the dream you want to keep it hidden. Being exposed physically in dreamland equates to being exposed emotionally in real life. This is what I have heard, there may be other interpretations.

                      Not only do I dream in color.....I can often feel, hear and taste things I am dreaming about. It's quite amazing once I wake up and realize it was all a dream, yet so very vivid.

                        usually i dream where i am the only nude but some times everyone is nude. the other night i dreamed i had a nudist family moving in next door. after waking i was wishing it was true.
                        stay nude and stay happy--i'm always happier when i'm nude--pahjo

                          WOW you are the first person i have ever heard say something like that, (except for myself)

                          I too have such vivid dreams they are well...REAL!
                          I remember on many occasions when I was disturbed about something in my life I had such vivid dreams that would literally terrorize me. I would jump up in a cold sweat with my heart pounding thinking "THANK GOD!" it was a dream, it was a dream, I think, I hope, OH God I hope that was just a dream! I had to remain awake and think real hard if what I had just experienced was Real or a dream!

                          and it's not just the bad dreams, it's all of them. that are just totally real.

                            Yes, some of the dreams are SO life like, it's really scary. I have even had dreams about dreaming......now try waking up from that/those!

                            Have you ever tried to "pinch" yourself in a dream to see if you're awake or not.....lol!
                            It doesn't work!

                              I HAVE!... dremped i was dreaming that is.
                              that is a funny experience. I remember wakeing up and then realizing my dream was true only to wake up a second time then discovering it was a dream in a dream LOL

                              I have tried to pinch myself, i cant get any feeling and I get panicked thinking something is wrong or I start having fun with it thinking i'm indestructible literally trying to hurt myself in my dream then I usually wake up and realize I had been dreaming again. then I usually think to myself... I wonder if anybody else dreams like this.
