| Text of work or job-related dream reports from participants in the Demographic Survey 2012. Exact question: Have you ever dreamed about your job or a situation at work? |
I am a Grad student getting my second Masters. In the last month. I remember trying to get to another part of town for a class or test. I was lost, got directions and was amazed that when I looked up, I saw buildings I sort of remember from Columbus Ohio where I got my double BA. I kept going but never got there and woke up. I am getting my second masters from the same online school, American Military University. That may be why I was confused about having to get somewhere for school. |

| Text of visitation dream reports from participants in the Demographic Survey 2012 and other sources. Exact question used in the Demographic Survey 2012: Have you ever dreamed about someone who is dead appearing as if they were still alive? |
This 'dream' seemed to be much more than a dream. I had been feeling a sinking feeling for a few months that I was going to die soon. I spent the day cleaning up my apartment. And just before I went to sleep, I verbally asked my Grandmother to help me if she could, and that I would like to live if there was anything I could do to help in the future. I 'awoke' walking from a dark hall into a brightly lit room with diffused light I couldn't see the source of. I walked in with a very tall, white robed person with flowing hair. There were 2 sets of 2 chairs facing each other offset from each other. The person in front of me, sat down and turned from me so I could not see who he/she was. Then after a moment, a child of like 10-11 in overalls came in followed by a woman of about 30 with a very pronounced swooped bangs hair style. They sat down, with the child in front of me. She looked angrily at me and put her knees to her chin and looked down to the floor. The woman was talking to me, but I couldn't hear her. I was looking at her and was thinking, 'Where do I know you from?' and then the swooped hair, and back to her face again, back and forth from hair to face,for like 20 seconds. All of a sudden I remembered having seen a photo of my Grandmother only once in her early 30's nearly 10 years before just after she died. And it looked like her. I blurted out, "You're my Grandma!" She burst into a smile and stood to hug me. Just as we hugged, boom, I was back in my body, awake and breathing hard. I went back to sleep. I awoke sometime later. Unable to breath. I have sleep apnea, and was choking on mucus, and couldn't get a breath. I heard in my head really loud, "Stand up!", I had no problem with doing that and did. I then heard, again in my head "Breathe out!" But I said in my mind, "But that is counterintuitive." and once again, in a more exasperated tone heard, "Breathe out!". I thought, "Well if I am going to die anyway, there is nothing that will will make a difference." I did breathe out and punched a small hole through the mucus, enabling me to get a small amount of air and eventually breathe normally. Afterwards, I was saying over and over again, 'Thank you Grandma'. This happened in about 2002 or 2003. |

| Text of lucid or self-awareness dream reports from participants in the Demographic Survey 2012 and other sources. Exact question used in the Demographic Survey 2012: Have you ever dreamed that you were aware of being within a dream? |
I have, but a years ago. I was outside with others I couldn't see around me. They said "Look UFO's are coming". I saw them and we ran into a house. The UFO's were firing around the neighborhood and everyone had gone off to hide. I went to the window at the end off the hall on the second floor. I saw the craft coming towards the house. And at some point, as it was coming, I said "This is a dream and you have no power here. Go and never bother me again." It stopped and flew off. I eventually went outside and saw a clear sky, and woke up.It is very rare that I am able to be aware that I am asleep in dreams. |
