Can heat influence dreaming?

Heya, I bought some weeks ago new terrycloth beddings (pillows, blanket and bed sheets) and since then I started to sleep longer, feeling more powerful when waking up and I started to have more and intense dreams. Well, I suppose terrycloth seems to be much warmer than silk- or cotton beddings and I wonder if the heat is related to what I experienced. I am living in the basement and especially during winter it is colder here than in any of our other rooms of the house, so could it be that my body just reacts to the effect of a general temperature change?

I never thought much about it and I am especially delighted about the stuff that happens in my head during sleep. My dreams become much more multi-variant in storytelling with things I never dreamed of before and are not only connected to events I experienced on the day(s) before. They are also not strictly positive or negatively connected to emotions or my general state of mind.

The reason why I tell you is because I wonder about it in the first place, but I had also weird Gamestudio dream tonight that was fun ^^ Well, I was a bit annoyed that the forecast page wasn't updated for months now and I dreamed that I turned on my PC as always and I went to the gamestudio site and it was completely new! JCL had secretly sold the whole thing or invested a large pile of money, the site was white and bright and colorful, so pro and so elegant, the users had to re-register to the forums (I noticed because JustSid already spammmed it and I wasn't able to reply) and he also re-branded it: The name changed from Gamestudio to something stylish, it had 3 letters and new stylish logo, something with Y, N, U or so..., I don't know. --- Well, and the best thing of all was that the compiler wrote some poem lines between the dots during compilation, and when you opened up the EXE code in a hex editor, there were sometimes small short stories from JCL embedded as unused static char arrays

So, has anyone experienced the same? - not my dream, but the experience of a relation between temperature and sleeping/dreaming?

Haha this completely reminds me of ulillillia, the issue, the basement and esp. the funny description of your dream.
(Sorry that I'm not really helpful here.)

You should post your dream in the "Ask the developers" forum! Thanks for sharing it. It was very funny. :-D

@ Your question: Yes, I experienced that, too. I`ve got a very cheap slatted frame plus a 24,90€ matrize here in my little appartement. And I wouldn`t recomment that to anyone. I`m dreaming weird things, I`m always a little bit tired and sometimes "confused in my mind" and inconcentrated, and I`ve got some back trouble. I`m feeling "bad". I`m sure that this is caused by my cheap bed because always when I`m at home sleeping in my teenage room, everything`s fine and I`m way more rested.
Maybe I should look for a better bed, too. I should save some money for this.

Oh stop it, you

Hey Sidney, it`s starting to get somewhat dangerous. Rainbow horse with big tear-filled eyeballs, posts with pink letters and sweet red cheeks. (not serious)

to answer your question:
yes. when the body is cold, it tires to protect vital organs by reducing the blood flow to them. when its warm, the blood flows throughout the entire body better and its able to mvoe more oxygen through the brain, resulting in a more powerful sleep with more vivid dreams.

i have the opposite reaction to you though. i live on the second (third if you be american) floor directyl under the roof. my flat is faced southwest, so i have it pretty warm. i have it too warm, cant sleep so i need less bedding. i have a very hard time sleeping ebcause my brain never rests, its always rattling. and the warmer it is, hte harder it is for me to sleep...

It might be because he doesn't have a girlfriend anymore, so he is filling the void by being his own girlfriend

At least it was a girlfriend and not a pony.

But the pony was the reason for her leave.

Hehe, bad thing

Sid, a girlfriend oO?

What else? A boyfriend? ^^

Problem?
Btw, the pink color was a inside joke, otherwise I had just posted the picture and nothing more.

Thank you for your answer, Spike that explains it a little to me.

No, it`s fine and cool. . I just didn`t know it. Sorry.

When I sleep in a warm or hot room terrible things start to happen. My dreams can be very intense, and make me feel very drowsed and unrested when waking up. Some years ago I started to realise this, and enjoyed my dreams, weird and crazy as they went. But after so many years I grew so tired of them (pun). Especially in summer when the sun is beaming directly on my bed, dreams are getting very intense. Often the images/settings keep stuck in my head the rest of the day, or even week. Makes me feel so un-rested.

Best to sleep in a cold bedroom, that's what I always have been told. I feel that is better too. Although due to my tallness the cold gets on my muscles quite fast, terribly cramping my foot, leg or toes (ough hurts so much). So socks then, that sort of helps. Ugh. Too hot, too cold, never a pleasant and dreamless night. WHYYYY.

I can confirm that ^^
At home, I slept under the roof and in summer I got very strange dreams, it was very warm. For sleeping in the summer I took my sleeping bag and went to the cellar, where we stored our drinks and vegetables or I just slept outside on the grassland - the weather was fine (mostly xD).

I can't confirm this, I also live under the roof and currently its just cold and I still dream the weirdest stuff imaginable (most of my dreams are so fucked up, that I have the fear that people might hear me talking in my sleep and later ask questions. Luckily they either never dared to, or I at least stfu when I'm asleep).
