You know when you're really tired, go to bed and then dream for a really long time about really good happy things.. (albiet a bit wierd). Wake up, then go back to sleep and carry on the dream..
Does anybody else find that they feel much better, motivated and happier if the have a good dream?

I have surreal dreams guaranteed every night. I'm also a terrible sleepwalker and talker 
.
Never get the chance to lounge around in good dreams, although when the alarm goes off I always want to finish the dream off, but rarely get the chance.
Happy dreams don't seem to exist for me!

I had some mental dreams over the past week (came back early from holiday with crazy chest virus) - dreams like: little kid walking around upset. I go upto him and try and comfort him, only to see his eyeballs are black like oil and his fingers have long thin black spikes for nails. He likes the affection but sticks the feckers into my arm! 
Apparently that night I was having night terrors and was delerious! Lovely Czech flu.
Back to the main question - yes, good dreams do make you feel better the next day. However, I once drempt that Britney Spears (pre chav days) was my girlfriend. I woke up and realised it wasnt true and can rarely remember feeling so bitterly gutted!
Glad I dumped the bitch now - fat chavette

Well, the alarm did go off and interupt my dream, but since its (supposedly) my day off. I turned it off and went back to sleep till 11am this morning.
Whoops

I keep getting this recurring dream at the moment about this man who chases me up and down an alley way, and no matter where I go he won't stop running after me. I always wake up just as he grabs hold of me, but I can never see his face.
Weird.
I have the coolest dreams ever. The ones I tend to remember are normally lucid too. There was one where I was rock climbing and really struggling up this last bit of a route. Then I realised I was dreaming because a few things were a bit odd - no rope for example. I was starting to lose my grip on the rock and I was like.. oh man, this is going to be one of those horrible jolting awakenings when I land. Then I figured hey, its a dream, my dream, my rules. And just like that, I could fly.
That was cool.
That was cool.
Always dream in colour.
Do the people who say they never have dreams smoke? My mate said he started to get really vivid dreams again when he quit smoking. Equally, if I go to bed pissed (often
) I can never remember my dreams the next day. Maybe it’s something to do with substances in the body?
I thought all people dream? It’s just that some don’t remember them when they wake up which is why they think they don’t.
If I have an early night with no drink I always have really mad vivid dreams that I can remember the next day.

I don't really remember dreams, but once I was spiked with LSD and met "The Cardboard Box People" which was a night to remember. It was very, very odd indeed.
I think Huxley hit on it with his "Doors of Perception", he explained how that artists/etc thought in images and had very visual minds and how he, having a mind of "Word thoughts" was stunted because of it, lacking the visual insight of an artist, the visions of the fantasy storyteller. I imagine that this is personality bias is replicated in peoples ability to dream visually. I am pretty non visual myself.
It is one of those psychological oddities which is touched on by many and explained fully by none. I suppose the proof is difficult to obtain....Hmmmmm.
Huxley proposed that insight into the visual nature of the minds of these types was gained by taking mescaline. A parallel is with musicains, people who can "hear how it should go" make the good stuff, other people just press keys as the dots tell them to.
My mum has very vivid dreams, having a chat to some people of the same ilk lead me to the conclusion that my visual mind is pretty mediocre.
Having said, I read a very odd book by some bloke about the nature of dreaming. One of his points is as follows. "When you are dreaming, you will remember to notice your hand (example he cited), when you see this, you will realise you are dreaming and not wake up, you will be able to control the direction and content of your dream". I think this is a waking/semi-waking variety of auto-hypnosis. It works, and I have had some of my best dreams this way!
God, I sound like a right yoghurt weaver (man) !

For weird and vivid dreams start taking anti malaria tablets. You have to take 1 a week for like 6 weeks or something like that. I was having the strongest dreams/nightmares the night after I took the tablet....
Also if i'm single i'll have nightmares, if I have a girlfriend i have more
dreams....

Most of my dreams are a bit odd, though they're not all bad. Always surreal but frequently enjoyable (last night's was in some weird surroundings - like Manchester crossed with Blade Runner LA, but I had a lime-green Lamborghini Miura for company 
.
One thing I do notice, though, is that my dreams never have 'storylines' - they're more like set-pieces.
