[QUOTE=Sabrina;30197914]No need to get worked up over a nightmare.[/QUOTE] I calmed down after I woke up but the dream was so vivid. Normally I get painful headaches after vivid dreams.
[QUOTE=xxfalconxx;30196174]"Anti self? What anti self. There never was an anti self, john. It was simply a construct created by your mind from reading an article on your forum. The 'anti self' as you call him was simply a being brought into matter by your will and your negative aspects. Most minds have it, albeit in different forms. It is up to the willpower of the dreamer himself to conquer his negative aspects in order to gain full access to his mental prowess. Have you not noticed, since you've beaten him, how nice things have become? How much you're enjoying things now?" I was shocked. "Take this lesson to heart, and don't forget it. There will always be a negative part to your mind, but if you have the will, it will never completely become you." I just thought I'd share this with you guys.[/QUOTE] [quote=OP][highlight][b]What and Who is my anti-subconscious[/b][/highlight] First, lets get this clear, your anti-sub may appear due to reading this, so read at your own risk. [sp]Reading that first sentence has already caused incentive for your anti-sub to appear, so, good luck. Your anti-subconscious is like a subconscious, it is a pit of emotions, however, it is negative emotions. Most people identify anti-subs by them being something they do not recognize, but is capable of bending their emotions in negative ways, such as to invoke terror, fear, misery and rage. I myself have never had to experience dealing with an anti-sub, mainly due to the fact that I believe it is a placebo. It usually appears, due to a few reasons, like knowing they exist, being lucid and fear. Of course, if you didn't know they existed, it would otherwise just be a nightmare. To deal with it, it's like dealing with a nightmare, just be brave and poof, it's gone. Note that you cannot summon an anti-sub, because what you summon will not be the anti-sub. Actually, I shouldn't have said that, so good luck dealing with possible traumatic experiences. [/sp] [highlight]By having read that whole section, you have ultimately screwed yourself. Good day to you[/highlight][/quote] Sometimes, I really wonder who reads the OP. Thats pretty cool that you conquered it anyways. Congrats. [editline]2nd June 2011[/editline] Anyways, once again, I got my ass back on trying to lucid and with each day, I can say my recall is getting better and better. Soon, I'll be back on getting lucid dreams.
Yeah, when I asked K about having an anti-sub or not he just looked at me and said "You know thats just some dumb placebo right?" I said yes. At this point he just facepalmed and changed the subject. I love little talks with him.
[QUOTE=Eonart;30198540]how please[/QUOTE] How...what? Get a split personality? Experience massive stress and get trauma. Chances are it's not going to be worth it. If anything, this is a consolation prize for getting through rougher times. Also, it's taken me years to actually get this stuff balanced, I couldn't even detect the guy at first.
I had a dream just now. I was in a rave club. They were playing shit like Deadmau5 and throwing around human limbs. I just walked out and tried to find a gun. There was none. Instead, I summoned Waltz and he [U]ripped my bones out of my arms and reshaped them into a massive axe.[/U] He gave this [I]boner[/I] to me and touched the blade, making it move like a chainsaw. Now I had a chainsaw axe made of my own bone. I went in and slaughtered everyone. One of them stuck a white hot bar of iron through my back. That [U]hurt.[/U] Srsly. I know what hot iron feels like and it isn't fun. I just wonder what the hell the dream meant.
I finished my exams, now to get to sleeping.
I had a dream that I was a Russian soldier carrying out a secret mission to overthrow America. For some reason it involved me and my comrade engaging in a speed dating session. I got in, and the first girl that I talked to said: "My favorite colour is purple. What's yours?" and I said: "COMMUNISM"
[QUOTE=Birdman101;30203100]Yeah, when I asked K about having an anti-sub or not he just looked at me and said "You know thats just some dumb placebo right?" I said yes. At this point he just facepalmed and changed the subject. I love little talks with him.[/QUOTE] Thats probably because deep down we all know it's a placebo even If we don't realize it. The mind is a fun place, but I'm bereft of ideas on what to do. It's the god complex. What do you do when you've done everything?
Start a family in your dreams.
Had a dream last night where I used toilets as portals. I threw a piece of magic paper in there and then jumped in, and I got sucked through the pipes and popped out from other toilets. Felt strange to be squeezed in there. And another dream where I was a samurai and challenged some other guy, then we had a sword fight and it was cool. He stabbed my lung but I lopped his head off.

Had an awesome, kick-ass dream last night, but forgot most of the details by playing Metroid Fusion the second I woke up. From what I can remember, someone gave me their girlfriend, then I had to protect her from something.
After these past few dreams being of fallout 3, I wonder what Ill dream about now that Ive beat the game. I'm kinda depressed that your options at the end are to either die or live to be the biggest asshole on the planet.
Had a dream that myself, Perfumely, and Denzel Washington went to rob a bank but were killed by something before we walked through the door. I'm completely serious.
okay i tried creating a lucid dream last night because i had been awake for two days and apparently that's good if you want to try it. i was playing terraria inside my head and then i woke up on my floor. must have been one hell of a dream, too bad i can't remember it.
Okay, so im going to start repeating phrases to myself throughout the day. I used to have lucid dream without knowing what they were, but I am having trouble getting it nailed. I usualy just go to sleep normaly... Anywho, my last recalled lucid: D-day, but I could ride a unicorn and shoot lasers.
I totally forgot about lucid dreaming. Seeing this thread brings back good times of me trying to dream and talk to my conscience.
[QUOTE=riceyrice;30241437]I totally forgot about lucid dreaming. Seeing this thread brings back good times of me trying to dream and talk to my conscience.[/QUOTE] I talk to my conscience all the time. He's a total ass.
[QUOTE=ZakkShock;30241922]I talk to my conscience all the time. He's a total ass.[/QUOTE] When you see him again, tell him I said hi.
How many of your dreams are video game related in some way? I mean they don't have to directly take stuff from video games, but just have video game elements of some sort.
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;30245479]How many of your dreams are video game related in some way? I mean they don't have to directly take stuff from video games, but just have video game elements of some sort.[/QUOTE] All the time.
Ok good, I don't just play way too many video games.
Sleep related. So my friend told me about how she would wake up and be in a frozen state where there was constant pressure on her chest, which made it hurt to breathe, with a constant thunder sound in her ears, every few days. I think she has some form of Sleep Apnea thats putting her in a SP like state state. I told her to go to a sleep specialist, that it was probably cause by a respiratory issue when she sleeps, that can easily be treatable. I think my theory to her situation was spot on. Thoughts?
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;30142045]I had this dream again last night. Same basic scenario. The crowd was just less populated. The first time she stopped to turn around, she tazed me then continued walking. The second time, she sprayed me in the eyes with pepper spray and then used a foghorn right in my ear then bashed me down over the back of my head while I was blinded and confused. I woke up, facedown, on my floor. My alarm clock going off right next to my head (I don't have a nightstand, it just sits on the floor). The alarm is a loud-ass klaxon that can be heard in the next house over. I set it to go off because I forgot that it's a national holiday here. Rest-assured, I tried getting some more sleep, but couldn't. So, today, I decided to be...[i]productive[/i].[/QUOTE] The past few nights, I had this series of dreams shift course towards something else. This time, once again, I am following this redhead through the crowd. She eventually stops yet again and I close the distance between me and her. She doesn't turn around at all when I get close, though. I reach out to grab her arm and she vanished, as if turned into vapor. I look around me, the crowd I was chasing her through was nowhere to be found. Just dead silence...and me. Without any destination to travel to, I curled up into the fetal position and stayed that way, unmoving for what seemed like days. I woke up eventually and started my daily routine. The next night, I found myself back in the fetal position in that silence. The scenery reminds me of a bleak industrial landscape: a dark, dingy grey for both the ground and sky. The only way to tell the difference between them was the sky being slightly lighter, but it didn't appear any more welcoming. Time passed, and I roll over onto my other side and see a figure in the distance, I couldn't tell if it was friendly or malevolent, but I did not care. I picked myself up and started towards this unknown, distant figure. After what felt like hours of walking, I didn't seem to be getting any closer to this figure, was he/she keeping his/her distance from me or was I imagining it? Eventually I got tired and fell asleep. I then woke up and went about my day like I normally would. The following night, I was where I left off, lying on the road(?). I picked myself back up, the figure was still in the same direction as I remembered. I started towards this figure and increased my pace, moving faster and faster. I could see the figure getting closer as I broke into a full-sprint. I could clearly see a silhouette, it was that of a young woman. She didn't appear to be facing my direction, so I kept sprinting with all my energy such that I could approach her. I'm within 100 meters of her and my heart is pounding and I feel as if my legs are going to give way underneath me. I'm hardly even paying attention to what I see because the sweat is dripping into my eyes, just keep running forward. 50, 40, 30, 20 meters away. 10 meters more, I see that she was with a male figure, whom she was hugging warmly. I trip suddenly. I outstretch my arms to try to latch onto something such that I won't fall but instead plummet into a pitfall (don't ask where the pitfall came from, I just started falling a long ways). I eventually land at the bottom (miraculously unharmed), I look up and see a small spec where the entrance to the pitfall was, the rest is complete darkness. I hear conversations echoing down the chasm, not a single one of them keeping my attention for longer than a few seconds because none of them had any relevance to me. I wanted to get out of that hole, but no one seemed to care that I had fallen in in the first place. Feeling exhausted, I laid down on my back facing the spec of dim light above and drifted to sleep. I woke up in a hot sweat at around 4am. My bedroom was uncomfortably hot and I scrambled to get a source of light on before I did anything else. I took an ice-cold shower (still 4am) and could not get back to sleep afterwards. I tried drawing to pass the time, I was displeased with each work. Eventually, sunrise came and I started my day, just without a shower since I had already taken one earlier.
Psycho, you really need a confidence boost, or just a hobby. You wish to belong, but you lack optimism and confidence to obtain it. Something tells me the girls you know have boyfriends, or at least the ones you want. Go get some help from maverick's love thread instead of shelling yourself.
Had this awesome dream me and my friend were the only two people in the know of this huge conspiracy involving some kind of evil, I can't really remember what but there were clues everywhere. I saw a note and it was scribbled in black pen that I should read this book I read years ago. I'm kind of hoping for it to be episodic because it was really cool even if it was really vague and unexplained, if I think enough about it before I go to sleep should I theoretically be able to continue it?
Off to another vacation. See ya in a week!
Had a large amount of dreams last night, most likely because I've been sleeping nearly twice as much as I normally do. The first memorable one: For some reason, me and my family went to Japan. We went into a place sort of like an electronics store. I've seen this place before, in my dreams. It's essentially the best electronics store you could ever imagine. We came in a side entrance (I probably would have gone lucid if I came in the front, and my sub is too lazy to make a new store.) and saw the rest of the store, it was huge. (The organization of the store was only familiar to me at that time.) We were standing next to a huge assortment of Japanese video games, and I got to get one, so long as it was not currently available in the US. (Hell yeah.) I never decided on anything, but I did consider a copy of Cave Story 2, the third person 3D shooter sequel to Cave Story. My second dream was pretty strange. I was sticking my banana in something when it suddenly grew to an unrealistic size. (Thicker than my arm, and a foot long.) Surprised with the fact that I now owned a log instead of a banana, I tried to use the toilet. First, immense amounts of urine began to pour out. Then, five normal streams of urine began to spray out in a fan formation. I don't remember much besides panicking. My third dream was again striking upon the fact that in my dreams, I always forget to bring my swim gear when it's time to swim in physical education. I've had this dream twice before, different each time, but not when it's actually happening. I was walking up to where our class meets, and found people in swim suits. A friend of mine said to me, "You forgot you stuff [i]again?[/i]" I started to get pretty annoyed at myself for forgetting. In the dream version of my high school, the locker room extends out to where the pool is supposed to be (they're right next to each other)and has a second floor, and the pool is where the cafeteria and tennis courts are, but it's Olympic sized and has gigantic metal bleachers. My locker (in this one and the one before that) is on that non-existent second floor, in a strange, slanted locker. The first dream involved me being late, having forgot that we were swimming, and having trouble changing. I arrived, and went into where the Gym usually is. Instead, the interior was a multi-floored shower/locker room. As in, all the walls and floor were tile, and the lockers were on little four-sided islands with benches going around, with showers interspersed between them. My fourth dream is the one I no doubt [b]regret[/b] having. Mostly it involved me having my banana in a cartridge slot. It was great, blah blah blah, until I abruptly woke myself up at the point where I began to release my banana fluid. Guess what I was doing when I woke up. In addition to this, I had decided to sleep in my living room last night. No one was in the room at the time, so I stealthed it up and got things under control...
:haw: I'm finally done with my exams which means that this summer I can focus entirely on practicing LDing. I will start tonight!
I have been absent from this thread for quite some time. I do have my reasons, one of which being realization. It was revealed the purpose behind the torment I received in dreams. Which is now no more than a memory, I can currently enjoy the freedom I have received from this. I had been fooled the whole time, my anti-self was never my anti-self. It was just trying to get through a message. Good dreams.
