Personally I have not had 'DreamForum' related dreams - which may (or may not)be surprising with my participation here on 'DreamForum.'
Anybody have dreams involving participation here on 'DreamForum?'

- Start date
Not specifically here that I am certain of (though we speculated about one of my group-puzzle-temple dreams being related). I am too "young" here to have much dream material, but I have had previous experience with this mechanic, particularly with a college group where we met to discuss just about everything and we spent much of our time talking about dreams--and then having those dreams enhance/respond to the group attention (like we paid more attention to them and so they did the same to us)! It was a fascinating time in my life that I think triggered my recent novel-dream. 
To me, it's evidence that dreams have access to and will use just about anything in their creation/messaging.

I've felt that I'll experience a 'DreamForum' related dream one of these days (nights).

I did have a dream recently one where it was like multiple different kinds where I was reading posts about dreams.
I think the post I was reading was about a walking Star on a country road...
In the dream that is...
I thought it was weird because in the dream I pictured a walking star from the video game Mario64..

In what may be a reverse of the discussion-thread title, it's possible that I'm experiencing an uptick in sleep dreams because I've posted here on 'DreamForum.net.'
Dreams most definitely respond to the increased attention, heh. In my novel, I have the kids/students realizing that because of their having a dream discussion group and getting so involved in them, they are having increasingly potent (meaningful-to-them) dreams, some of which relate to each other in some subtle way. Like, having a certain dream and doing a deep dive on the dreams made them more prepared to have and remember even more intricate dreams.
There is clear benefit (in entertainment if nothing else) in embracing the dream-storytelling.

What is the title of your book?Dreams most definitely respond to the increased attention, heh.

Dream Knights (you can find snippets of it, including the audio version, at most outlets) -- I find it fascinating that much of what you talk about is reflected in my own experience, which I have placed within a fictionalized setting in the book (not to be confused with something completely made-up, fiction). Much of the novel is nonfiction--as in actually happened in the sense that dreams actually happen to us--but the setup/setting is from a dream as well (in other words, the group of college students in a dream discussion group fronted by a psychology post-grad mentor; I dreamed of this specific group delving into dreams and opening up to a mystifying larger reality).

I might add, I've experienced more and more in-depth vivid sleep dreams lately. I sometimes find myself digesting, and writing-up the content of these dreams - almost as fast as new dreams occur.Dreams most definitely respond to the increased attention, heh.

I feel dreams have value if they stem from unique life (or never experienced) experiences, or unique dream experiences. I'm most interested in dreams offering practical ideas, important experiences, and even humorous dreams.
Personally, most dreams that don't offer surprising/interesting insights are of little interest, and are rarely written about. Quite often, I have dreams where I'm asking myself, "why did the subconsciosuness mind even bother with these things?"Or dreams invovling matters (usually from the past) that are best forgotten.
Yeah, I've had similar experiences with dream...let's call it *acceleration*, even though it's also about depth-of-concepts. I've had them increase to the point where they wore me out and I was tired upon waking up, heh (my pattern for the students in the book having to "turn off" the dreaming for a while so they could function in school).
As for the more mundane dreams (and I remember us talking about this elsewhere), they still have value even if they feel like practice or bland exercises, because like in the physical world, if an athlete doesn't do all the boring exercises, the mundane workouts and stretching, then they will not be as prepared for gameday. I think those types of dreams still have value, if we view them (take advantage of them) in this way.

I felt I had a challenging dream where I was focusing on how to write about (those difficult to put to words) dreams for posting here on DreamForum!
