You guys actually remember your dreams?

Weird.

Depends actually, some I remember clearly (like last night), some I forget fast (first hour of being awake) and sometimes I just wake up with knowing I had bad dreams but not knowing wtf it was. The lingering disgusting feeling is always there though...
As a way to cope with it I try to distract myself asap each morning with reading/music/video so by the time I get at work I'm more or less able to act normal when dealing with clients

I remember the jist of the dreams I have just before waking.

It's uncanny how many of these dreams involve anxiety about being tardy for work or for some other thing I was expected to do.

Yeah, I'm not that complex.

When I feel depressed I do one of three things:

1: I simply watch an slice of life anime with no plot of course like Lucky Star and azumanga daioh.

2:listen to music while playing Minecraft.

3: Watch an anime that I'm really hooked on at the moment when I'm depressed

Lol purple and alcohol will give you weird dreams.

Just saying. So I've heard at least.

I guess it depends on a person then or they was not drunk as hell. That stage of drunkenness when you can not open eyes and are almost asleep and then get a weed, but not much.
No strange dreams for me then...

For me the worst dreams are when I see people I know or go to real places and tell them something and after the dream you wake up and do not know if you did say something, if you did go somewhere or you did something. True, one can get the best ideas by having these kind of dreams, but it messes up reality quite a bit. Its like, I was fully sure that I told my closes friends that I was going to Turkey for 4 months, but it turns out I did not and they got to know that only after I was already here.
But nightmares I like, nothing to do with reality nothing to screw up irl

I never had anything that extreme but sure know the feeling all too well ... many times I was very relieved to wake up and realise I just dreamt it, but I also had times it completely jumbled my memories from reality and dreams making me unsure what was what

try to drown my sorrows with music, or sleep, chat with friends, watch comedy, rant with friends if its angry depressed, or a huge near fatal dose of MLP: Friendship is Magic or sugary cute anime

Distract myself by doing housework or homework. After that, I usually feel better.

Continue thinking. That's what makes me depressed in the first place but sometimes a little depression is all good. The mystery of the birth of the world. How irrelevant one life is in all this. How tied down we are by family, traditions, society, law and everything. Mind expanding drugs are for those people who don't hold the intelligence to do it themselves.

For me 'depression' seems to be tied to the thought of something virtually impossible to overcome. I could take quite a while to come up with a solution (which is guaranteed for being not-stupid), but once I do the feeling of escaping 'depression' is of the best kind.

Incidentally, the force of a precise attack onto an issue is a fair measure of mental health.

i don't usually get depressed, i'm sort of optimistic all the time, but as it happens, well i chase the depressing feeling and let's it go through instead of hiding it inside somewhere.

I don't get depressed frequently but usually when I do I talk to someone about it. I find that just releasing it to someone helps relieve the depression. It may also help me come up with a solution if what is making me depressed is the type of thing that has a solution.
