Nightmares are pretty scary, but I would rather have an intense, adrenaline pumping, awesome nightmare than an extremely boring, long lasting dream. Sometimes when I get really into a game or a subject I spend the whole night dreaming out scenarios of that (like scrabble or sudoku or physics problems, etc..) These can be pretty boring, especially if they continue all night long.
However, the most boring dream I ever had happened when I was about 8 or 9. I was sick with the stomach flu this night and I fell asleep and slept for a full night without waking up. But the whole time I was asleep I was having the same dream. The whole dream consisted of rows upon rows of toy soldiers (like nutcrackers) marching in place. I watched them just march in place for hours upon hours. I was so bored and even tried to wake up, but couldn't. I just continued watching them march in place. Watching Andy Warhol's "Empire" would be more interesting than this dream.

I often have those same kinds of boring dreams when I'm sick. They don't make sense, they keep repeating, there seems to be some kind of unsolvable puzzle, and they never seem to end. I wonder exactly what happens to the unconcious mind when someone is sick.
