It's interesting. My dreams, when I remember them, and when they involve nudity have changed. Prior to becoming "active" in naturism and as a member of this forum, if I dreamed about being nude, it was getting caught in my underwear (partial nudity). The feelings from that bordered on panic and horrendous embarrassment. Last night was different, as have been several others.
Last night I dreamed I was applying for a job at a company that a friend of mine had gone to work for. I was at the company reception desk totally naked getting the paperwork and my friend walked in. She had a few friendly comments, then back to work! No one noticed my nudity except me. A brief moment of surprise, then "oh, well", and I was back to getting the paperwork.
Has anyone else experienced a change in dreams like this? I imagine it would more apply to those who have "converted" to naturism, but who knows? Perhaps everyone enjoys this type of dream.

| I occasionaly have dreams in which I am naked but it is no big deal. I cant remember having had dreams in which being naked caused panic. Almost all of the dreams I remember have to do with my former occupation (that I left in 2005), although now I occasionaly dream about my new occupation. I cant remember what happened last night - except for the garbage truck waking me up at 5:30. |

Since joining organized naturism, I've had "nightmares" where we're all nude and have to get dressed. I'm usually nude in my dreams and it's no big deal. Now and then I have a dream where I have an opportunity to be nude (e.g. I'm teaching a college tennis course, get to it, and discover that it's clothing optional) and I have to find a place where I can leave my clothes safely.
I sometimes have dreams where I'm nude and I worry about the reactions of others but I never have dreams where being nude upsets me.
Naturally,
R.O. |

| I had a dream where I went to a VanTan nude swim in Vancouver BC (I have never been to one in real life). The swim turned out to be all gay men who turned hostile when they found out I was LDS. They had me trapped in a corner but managed to escape, naked, through a towel chute. I woke up before I figured out how to retrieve my clothes and car keys from the locker room. |

The most vivid dream I remember that involved nudity took place way back when I was in my mid teens. I remember that I was at a joint ward YM/YW activity at the Stake Center, we were playing games and stuff I think. Then the leaders announced that we were leaving to go swimming. I remembered that I was happy and that I checked to make sure I had everything I needed in my bag. We loaded up in cars and drove to am indoor pool. When we got there the boys went through the boys change room and the girls when through the girls change room door. It was not the other way around in case you were wondering. That was a joke, I realized how dumb it sounded to point out the obvious and had to make a comment. Anyway both doors let to a single big change room where everyone changed. A boy in another ward that I liked took a locker beside me and changed into his swim suit right next to me. I do not recall seeing him naked but I assume I did but thought nothing of it.
I reach into my bag so I can get my swim suit to find that it was empty or filled with socks maybe, that rings a bell. Anyway I am frantic because I don't have my swim suit and I really wanted to go swimming with this boy. I think that was one of the reasons I looked forward to the swim. I run over to one of the lifeguards and ask if they allow skinnydipping? The did not and I was crushed. The guy I liked saw that I was distraught and asked what was wrong, I told him and he said "Why don't you just swim in your clothes?" I ran back to the lifeguard and asked if I could swim in my clothes and she said yes. I as happy. We all had a great time playing around but I distinctly remember how hard it was to move and how my clothes weighed me down. A whistle blew and someone yelled times up, everyone out of the pool. So we all got out of the pool and with through out separate doors (girls and boys) but still ended up in the common changing room with everyone changing. I went to my locker to get my shoes and socks and only then realized I had nothing else to wear but my socking wet clothes. I think I started to cry, and the guy I liked sat down beside me and asked what was wrong now. I remember thinking that he must think I am some crybaby but I could not stop crying. I told him my problem and he said that I could use his towel to dry off then wear it home, the towel. I was happy again, I got undressed, stuffed my wet clothes into my bag and dried myself with the towel then wrapped it around myself and put my socks and shoes on.
We all got rides back to the Stake Center but I had to walk home from there. I was walking home wearing just the towel and foot wear, when this same guy I liked ran up next to me and offered to walk me home because he lived halfway to my house and it was dusk. I gladly accepted and we started on our way. Then suddenly a guy in my ward I greatly disliked because he is a jerk, ran past me yanking my towel off, he kept going laughing all the way out of sight. Now I stood naked (but my feet) beside the cute guy I liked and one the city streets. I hated that jerk! I tried to hide myself but could not. The cute guy told me it was OK and not to worry about it, he had seen me naked in the change room and besides it was his towel that just got stolen. I relaxed and we walked all the way to his house like everything was normal. I knew I was naked but no one seemed to care so I did not worry about anyone seeing me.
We got to his house and he rang the doorbell, why he would ring his own doorbell and wait outside I don't know, and his mother answered the door and invited us in. I was slightly embarrassed meeting her and being in there house for the first time all while naked. He asked his mother if she could give me a ride home and she said she would. She asked me to sit while she got ready to drive me home. I went into the living room and sat down to wait. The father comes into the room and sits next to me and starts talking to me. When the mother is ready the father and I stand up and shake hands and he says it was a pleasure to meet me and maybe next time I might wear clothes but not to worry if I don't. The mother talked to me on the way home and I am sure she said something along the lines about how well my breasts were developing. I also remember how the seat belt felt against my skin and how it kept sliding off my chest, that was annoying, really annoying. The feel of the seat belt was not annoying, just the way it would not stay in place.
She dropped me off and told me to visit again anytime. I had to sneak in the back door so my parents would not see I was naked. That is when I woke up I think.
All in all I really liked the dream witch might be why I can remember it still. I wished I could do it for real but knew I never would get naked around the guy. |

Raven... As always, it's such a pleasure to read your comments - you make 'em "come alive".
Personally, I don't have many dreams of any kind (that I can remember, that is). Used to have more when I was much younger, but those days seem to have gone forever. I do remember one, embarrassed to say, that I somehow was taking a shower with my brother, and all I vividly remember was thinking to myself "How Gay!!" even though, as I recall, nothing happened between us.

Thanks for reviving this one Raven. I too really enjoy your story telling style. I also picked up on argonauts comment:

I know you've been there argonaut, but I can't resist telling you than my "day" is almost an hour on its way by 5:30 - five days a week anyway. There's no way that's "night" to me.

I'm an information technology project manager for a financial services company. My "day" begins at 4:45AM when I get up and go into my "gym" to exercise. 250 situps, 10 minutes on the recumbent bicycle, and some bowflexing if I get the chance. By 6:00AM I'm on the road to pick up the carpoolers. We're in the office by 7:00AM (usually 6:45). Work runs until 4:00PM when the carpool resurrects itself. Many times, like today, I'm on the phone (not driving!) for a teleconference on the way home. I get about 3 - 4 hours at home. I attempt to get time with my bride of 38 years (still my bride!), time on this forum and with my photography. I try for 9:00PM bedtimes, but its usually 10 or 10:30PM. Night? 8:00PM - 4:45AM, I guess. [Edited in] Maybe I'd have better and more frequent dreams if I got more sleep.
What's your schedule?

| Last night I dreamt I was visiting the country where I served my mission. I was on a commuter train that was fairly open with rows of seats facing outward. I was completely naked. Everyone else on the train and everywhere else was clothed. People noticed I was naked but nobody seemed shocked or horrified. They got on and off the train like normal. I rode from the town where I was staying to another city and looked at some of the architecture. There was a beautifully ornate church. I looked around for a while and then took the train back, thoroughly enjoying the exhilaration of nakedness. I was concerned that by then someone might have notified the police that there was a nude guy on the train but nobody bothered me in the least. I had a computer bag with my passport, wallet and a shirt, but no pants or other clothing. I never made it all the way back to the place I was staying because the real life phone rang. Mrs. A was on volunteer phone duty for an international organization that has no regard for time zones. Every wednesday night the phone rings 6 to 10 times from midnight to 6 am. She helps a lot of people so its okay, but it sure makes it hard to sleep. |

| I must have a really boring life because none of my dreams (that I remember) come close to any of this stuff. But I have one favorite that seems to recur with some frequency. Anybody see the Peter Pan movie that came out about 3 or 4 years ago? Remember that scene where all the kids are flying through the night sky above London? How spectacularly beautiful it is? Well, my dream is that I'm up there flying too, by myself, clothes-free. That's it. Not speeding along, just gliding. Sky is blue-black, air is warm, the stars are like a loose tapestry of diamonds above, clouds here and there glow with reflected light from the city below, which itself is a carpet of lights. And I'm in the middle of it, as free as can be. Doesn't get much better than that. |

We have pursued this topic elsewhere, but this is the thread I found this morning before heading to work.
Last night's dream was okay. I was in our house with our grown children and their children. I was nude, they weren't as far as I know (dreams are difficult sometimes). After some period of time of being nude in the house, I realized that all the window blinds were open. Yikes! I wasn't so concerned that someone would see me as I was that someone would see me and report me. Imagine that. Anyway, at my request my daughter closed all the blinds as if it were just a normal thing to do. I don't have a clue as to why I asked her to do it instead of doing it myself. All was quiet after that.
Off to work - in a better mood - the cardiologist gave me the "clean bill of health" yesterday, so I can resume normal living. It wasn't as serious as I thought. Now I can exercise without thinking I'm going to die (the next great adventure!) within minutes...
