I'm not sure what else to call them. Over the course of my life I have had a series of dreams that are vivid and clear inside the dream world but upon awakening I realize there are no words in English or any other language to express them.
This morning I woke up from one of these dreams, trying to recount it, but unable to. Not because I couldn't remember it - in fact, the dream was still very vivid in my mind - but because when I tried to put words to the dream there were none.
Even the feeling of the dream didn't fit any words we use for feelings.
All that came to my mind was the feeling - not nameable - and some unknown to me characters, a sort of alphabet or math symbols or something. A visual representation in my wide awake mind of what I might write if I were to write down the dream. But again, completely not known to me in terms of what the "writing" means.
It is odd but I have become used to it. I always wonder where these dreams come from and how they happen inside my brain.
Have you had a dream like this? What do you make of it?

I don't have dreams like that. Maybe you're dreaming of a past life in ancient times in another language and place?
Maybe! It almost feels like other-worldly time and place but I don't even know how to describe it. Very weird but not at all scary, either in the dream or after waking up.
