If someone wants to remake it accurately, the program he used is BizAgi process modeler.

Isn't the chance for dream recall higher when being really tired?
I had two awesome (sort of) dreams last night, both were zombie related and lucid In the first one, I was on the titanic, and it turns out instead of an ice burg, zombies sank it somehow. Everyone was running and being eaten and stuff and these zombies were fast and strong and being on a boat, there was nowhere to hide, so I went into my cabin, where in a draw I had some soft metal like Lithium, which when eaten, would slow my heart to a stop - so thats what I did, then when I died I woke up in the next dream, which was in my house with all my friends where we were hiding from zombies, but they all broke in. This is the cool bit, my alarm went off in real life, and I could hear it, and my dream went to a stand still and the g-man appeared and told me to wake up and turn off my alarm. Twas good.
I suppose I'll post my content. Mind you all of these are real. A year ago I had a dream about some fat girl at my school. She had a three way with two kids under the stairs in the main hallway of my school. I went upstairs and cried to my teacher who is a massive bitch. She bit me. Not so long ago I had a dream about an assembly at my school. The principal went batshit insane and unleashed swords into the air that had wings and could track targets. I hauled ass and dived out a window like a boss. The other day I had a dream where I was getting changed for gym class. There were millions of lockers and everyone acted like it was normal, so I thought it was cool. Then I kept appearing outside away from the school in my gym clothes and I had to run back. Eventually I was like "fuck dat shit" so I realized I was dreaming. There was this girl and her dog in the back yard. This girl had a massive rack. I went to fuck her but my balls got heavier and heavier as I went nearer. I woke up before we even touched. Last summer I had a dream about this cardboard box. This cardboard box made anything come true. I was playing Fallout 3 the night before and suddenly I was in Megaton with my brother with a lot of fog that reminded me of Minecraft. After a course of events around the bomb, which looked a lot like the Liberty Bell, I was suddenly in a cell. I told the cardboard box my dick was huge and it grew to be 10 inches long. I had a dream about a girl I'd talked to for the past week. She kept asking me to find her phone in exchange for something. After finding her phone, which looked a lot like a pink calculator, she just hid under a desk and laughed. I also had a dream about zombies before. I had been craving to see I Am Legend for whatever reason and there were several hundred survivors. By day, this place we had been living in was a beautiful resort. But by night, it turned into a frightening hell hole where zombies broke in occasionally. Will Smith happened to be killed by a sliding panel. There's probably more, but I'd rather not go on.
Man, this frustrates me so much. Some nights, I'll have very vivid dreams, sometimes even two or three distinct scenarios in one night.The next night will be like the last, except usually only one and less vivid. Then the night after that I'll get just a few scraps. After that I'll get nothing for about a month or so. I haven't been able to find anything that causes this.
I almost went lucid last night THREE DAMN TIMES but kept getting too excited. any tips on how to stay cool?
I also need help I've been trying since summer to do this but i can not. I've tried all methods and I found the closest I can get is going into sleep paralysis, but nowadays i can't even get to that phase. I find that when im trying to lie perfectly still, I swallow my spit too much, or have these minor twitches from my body staying in one place for so long. Then i either give up or fall asleep because it never works. TBH I've only actually gotten to sleep paralysis mode once and it only lasted a few seconds then I was wide awake.
Had a dream last night that somebody made my guitar strings all funny. They took the strings and extended them out. I also remember a part where I was gonna sell my guitar to somebody, but then halfway through advertising it I was like 'hang on a minute, I love this guitar. I'm keeping it, fuck off.'
I had a dream so boring that I never noticed that it was actually a dream due to dream-logic. I was in Helsinki near the dome church and I was trying to find someone to sell an airsoft gun, a AEG G3A3 with a red-dot sight. Due to dream-logic I never noticed that I was walking around town, holding an assault rifle by its front grip and everybody being just casual about it. I also tried some cinnamon before going to bed, but nothing special happened. [editline]13th April 2011[/editline] Just tought about something: If a sensation of touch is stimulating in a dream. Shouldn't it improve recall? Gonna try this weekend to just crash on my bed with my clothes on.

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;29153438]Dusk is amazing. You can think of anything and you can watch it like you are there.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah. Tell me about it. Not as detailed as dreams, but more controllable. [editline]13th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=DJ999;29154620]Elaborate please.[/QUOTE] Dusk is the term I made up for that phase where you are half asleep and can have really vivid daydreams.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that HI?
Had a dream that there were two copies of my grandmother, and only I could see the second. You can imagine how confused I was when it was going on, trying to explain others that there's a second granny making food at the moment while another is sitting in her own room and everyone was like "no"
[quote=Orkel]Had a dream that there were two copies of my grandmother, and only I could see the second.[/quote] I've had dreams similar to that. Last night's dream was shooting headcrabs in my own house with a Winchester 1897. It was awesome.

I had some strange dreams last night. One involved the dream version of my middle school's pool. In dreams, it has an entire arena built around one side, entirely made of concrete. Pretty much a larger version of the real stands. I think it involved someone getting married, and everyone was in swimsuits. I congratulated the newly weds, then walked off with some girl. Immediately after this, I was in the dream version of my high school, walking along, having a conversation about intelligence with a guy I consider an intellectual equal. He said something about how he actually only had an IQ of 120, and faked being intelligent. I told him something involving a chart of commonality of IQs, implying he was stupid, and he just stared at me with a funny look on his face.
had a weird one a while ago, in it i walked out my back door, and everything was covered in snow, and it never snows here. On the patio table, was a geiger meter, similar to the ones we use at school, and it was going berserk, clicking almost constantly, indicating a high level of radiation. Then i woke up. Did i just have a vision of the nuclear holocaust? :v:
I need to do some kind of an activity to make my dreams more memorable. I've had such lame dreams lately that breaking out from them is near impossible.
If you guys want to remember your dreams better, try having less manufactured sugar in your diet. Things like Starbucks, soda, junk food, etc. can all affect your sleep cycle. I've been eating healthier and not smoking weed (dream killer), and after a while some pretty vivid things can happen. [editline]14th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=God of Ashes;29122951]is there anyway to stop yourself from dreaming about something. I keep dreaming about my ex and it sucks[/QUOTE] Ask yourself why you think you've been dreaming about her, and if it's because she hurt you/not over her/something else, you need to confront it while you're awake.
[QUOTE=Birdman101;29162880]Whats HI? [editline]13th April 2011[/editline] My advice to you, brotha. AIM FOR THE HEAD[/QUOTE] hypnogogic imagery
[QUOTE=geogzm;29165243]hypnogogic imagery[/QUOTE] See, I would have known that if you said "hypnogonic imagery" the first time. Anyways, eeehhhh, it kind of is.
[QUOTE=Birdman101;29167886]See, I would have known that if you said "hypnogonic imagery" the first time. Anyways, eeehhhh, it kind of is.[/QUOTE] Is it like prolonged HI? I think I get Dusk sometimes when I'm sat down with my eyes closed.
It's more of the state you are in that allows you to get HI. The state where you get more alpha brain waves. It's really similar to the bliss state you get from meditation, only you feel like you're kind of asleep.
Time to go to bed soon. Another take for trying to control my dreams.
lol i keep forgetting to try wild again

I had some weird dreams last night. I was driving around my dream world with my dad, I think in continuation of a dream a few nights ago. It's a stick-shift car, which makes the ride bumpy. We were in the mountains, specifically a small hill that I perceived as a mountain from dream logic. He said to me, "Watch this" and began driving up one of the steep foot paths, that were definitely not for cars. Holding on for dear life, I screamed at him, "What are you doing?" Eventually I was down on some sort of metal platform next to the hill. Embedded in the mountain was a large tank filled with cloudy water, that some people I knew were drinking out of. I began to flip out about how the water was dirty and was filled with all kinds of living things that you really don't want inside of you. My memory is faint from here. I remembered my dreams more this morning, but I didn't have a chance before I left the presence of my laptop for most of the day :v: Does anyone else have dreams that take place in a "dream world"? A lot of my dreams take place in areas similar to places I know in real life. Recently, I've realized that the places in my dreams don't change much between dreams, and are starkly yet subtly different from real life. In addition to this, they seem to be part of one woven together landscape, cut apart by the now mostly gone Black Fog. I think at some point, I can make a post where I can try to put together a more thorough description. Maybe I could make it my goal that when I go lucid, I'll try to summon my sub and go on a tour of my dream world, and get him to stick the memory of the dream into my mind like a video I can go through it, and help me recognize my dreams better. I already noticed while in my Invasion dream that it was my dream house, but I didn't think anything of it at the time. On the topic of the Black Fog: It was a strange gaseous substance found in my dreams, usually obscuring certain parts of the dream. It was untouchable, and unmoved by objects passing through it, like darkness. It started when I started seriously trying to remember my dreams, and ended after a single, very long dream, sometime last week. I have a feeling that it was some sort of test by my subconscious, or something much more sinister.
had a semi-LD in which the folks from who's line is it anyways brought me a bag of peaches and walnuts, telling me to crack them open that we might make the MIGHTY LIOCHEETZUBUMAFOO. Apparently it's some sort of lion-cheetah-lemur hybrid. I don't even know.
