I don't get why people are like this, I love hearing about people's dreams, especially the crazy ones.

Even if you’re not interested, it’s worth bearing in mind that everyone talks a load of bollocks sometimes.

Other people couldn’t care less about some of the stuff you talk about, but you may not know that because they do the polite thing and take an interest.

Anyone who thinks they never bore other people has their head up their arse.

I agree, not necessarily that I like hearing about other people's dreams, but that I think people should be more willing to actively listen when someone talks about their dreams.

I don't necessarily like hearing other people's dreams, but I do like talking about my own dreams, so I will listen. While dreams aren't real, what happens in dreams can effect people because it is still something they experienced, and talking about stressful situations is a great way to let go of any negative feelings associated with the experience.

Same, it can be really interesting. I hardly remember my dreams so to hear other people in a way makes up for that.
