Why do I always dream when there is a full moon? Is it genetic?

Nearly everyone dreams every night. The difference is in remembering it.\n\nThe full moon is associated with, um, exaggerated behaviour. Perhaps your dreams are more vibrant during this time, hence your family's tendency to remember them.\n\nLest you doubt the ability of the moon to influence our bodies and brains, think of the tides and the fact that our bodies are 70% water.

It's good to have dreams. It's even better if you have dreams that can be made true, then try to pursue those dreams of yours in order to make them come true, you will see that your life is a whole lot more interesting. :)\nJust be aware that dreaming all the time without doing anything means that you are wasting your precious time. ;)

I wonder that myself. I think it might be due to the fact that when people of both genders dream, we are physically in a state of arousal. Since I generally wake up right after a long dream, I assume men do, too. But this is just a hypothesis.

The body when alseep turns off the bit of the brain that tells it to move.  However every now and then it flickers back into life and you move as you are in your dream.  Its very natural and if you watch dogs sleep they chase things and sometimes even bark.  Very odd, but the brain has to stop you acting out your dreams, otherwise youd be knackered.

Lets clear one thing up, the moon is always full. You just can't see all of it easily every night because of it's position and relative angle between us and the sun. \nHowever, the reason that people, and other animals, have strange behavior during a "full moon" is because of the amount of light we get from it. On a clear night when the moon is full it's like the sun never sets. If you've ever been in the wilderness during this time, you know that you don't even need a flash light to walk around. It's like the lights are on. All this light coming into peoples homes causes them to not sleep. It gives a bit of skew on the internal clock that we have. Also, predators roam at night. And during a full moon it's easier to see them so animals, including people, get braver. This lends to the felling that people do strange things during a full moon. You just feel more comfortable at night when you can see whats around you. So being Hyped up during the day is just a feeling of comfort because the night won't be so scary.

Dreams ARE often a result of something physical. but sometimes the aura of a dream won't leave you and you get the feeling that it is somehow prophetic. I don't claim to be an interpreter of dreams, but sometimes think maybe the Lord has given me that  gift. I only think that the people in your "pit" are all the people you will encounter in life. It is your job to "process" whatever these people have to offer you. There is no with-holding on their part or malice or shame on yours. It is simply a dream telling you to accept life, use it, and make the most of everything you've been given! You are in control of what you do with what you are handed.\n                                   God Bless You!!

Not superstitious, but I think that dreams tell you what you really believe and even want to believe in your heart. It is you thinking without subconsciously second guessing yourself.

You really seem like a kind soul. These days people have become selfish and go-getter with no time to spare a thought for another person and here you are wishing for everyone's dream to come true! Great! Well, I like it best when i have dreams at night (which i have most of the nights). The nights without dreams are like so vacuous. I look forward to sleeping at night so that i can see a new dream. For me dream world has much more charm than the real one.

Hmmm... I think I can recall something. I have dreams about a girl who looks very much like me picking flowers at the base of a large volcanoe when the volcanoe explodes. I don't know if this is a past life or just a weird dream.

I think so. I know a lot of time dreams could be a glimsp of what is to come. At other times, you dream to get answers to questions you have in your life, basicall its your brains way of finding solutions to problems or conflicts in your life.

Dreams fit the person.  For example say you grew up in a home with alcoholic parents, in and out of shelters, poverty, violence, all that stuff.  I think it would be perfectly normal for someone to have a dream where no yells in their house.  Or they have a job and can pay all of their bills.  Do you see where I'm going with this?  There is nothing wrong with just being normal.

Hey you could be astral projecting at night! That's when you leave you body behind and you soul or spirit goes out to perform some type of task. Your love and devotion to your girlfriend might be affecting you in the dream world as well Some ways to tell if you might be astral projecting are the following. Have you been tired when you get up even the you slept soundly? Do you seem to remember your dreams vividly as if you were really there. Do people comment on how hard it is to wake you? Or do you wake up suddenly for no reason. If the anwer is yes for most of these questions, then your probably astral projecting. Look it up on te internet. This is a very rare and useful gift and you should learn how to focuse it to your advantage!

Go to the library and get a book titled "Dreams", by Sylvia Brown.  Or check out other dream books.  I doubt that you were burned at the stake, but if its reoccurring, it may be worth checking into. It could be some type of stress or underlying problem, that you'll be able to work out.

That would be so neat if it could happen:) I have this reoccurring dream-the dream that I am watching sunsets with a particular person. If he could have the same dream at the same time-it would mean that we were meant to be together. I'd hope that it was possible if only wishful thinking.

Dreams are steeped in symbolism. They are the detritus of your day and of things/issues hidden away in your sub-concious. The blood could represent newness or change and the babies are probably your inner child representatives. Are you at an age where you're coming into adulthood or taking on new responsibility - or wanting to?\nSounds like it could be time for a fundamental change in your life - but first you have to change what's inside. And that's the hardest part. There may be a pattern in your life or your psyche that is no longer serving you well and in order to move on you need to address this. It's not easy but its worth it. \nYou can click on the avatar if you need to chat about it more. Good luck!

Well, there are probably people who can give you a "scientific" explanation, but my own take is that our brains cannot shut down completely, or we would be dead.  So they do a sort of background operation, an "idling" (idol-ing?) mode.  Now, this is an opportunity for things in the hind brain to come up and mess around together; correlate one ungainly half-thought with another and see what they produce.  In times of stress, when there are demons lurking in the dark corners, they can get together in unholy revel and produce a nightmare.  In times of sensual excitement, the dreams take a very different turn.  Lately I have not been able to remember my dreams, which suggests to me that nothing important has gone on.  When you can remember your dreams, take them as evidence that your unconscious mind is trying to tell you something, and lie quietly, thinking, for as long as you can.  The messages could be very important!

It's because your mind sees the moon in proportion to landscape features when it is low.  It's kind of an optical illusion - it's not really bigger but your mind interprets it as bigger.
