Last nights dream: My arms were cut off and I had robot arms. Somebody was telling me a story about a wood farm, suddenly I was in the story. There was a wood disease that was ruining all the wood, so we decided to move all the piles of wood away from each other. Then the lady in charge said there was an old windmill about a mile up that was filled with socks and we were going to set it on fire so it would light the place up. Also, people were complaining about the socks. Me, a supervisor, and a really cute chick (who was also blind) ran up to the windmill to check it out. The supervisor went inside and the blind chick climbed up on top of the house. I followed her up and she told me she needed help, because she was lost. I helped her up to the top and said "what a view, huh?" She punched me in the arm and said she wanted to go down now. Then I woke up.
I forgot to be dreams in this thread D: Now I gotta catch up to the recent ones. Russian Tundra The dream begins as three men and I are walking through a barren tundra towards what appears to be a camp. The man beside me- to my left- is wearing a black took and an olive green snow coat unzipped with brown snow pants and black snow boots. As far as facial features go, all I remember was that the man had a full dark brown beard. The other two men with us I do not remember, but I know two others were with this man and I. As we approach the camp one of its inhabitants begins approaching us saying something I could not quite hear. The man to my left begins shouting back in what sounds like either Russian or some other Eastern European language. After we arrive a certain distance away from the man and the camp- as the “Russian” guy is still shouting- the “Russian” pulls out a glock and shoots the man in the chest. I shout “What the hell are you doing?!” at him. Another person from the camp is running away. Before the man can shoot them I knock his gun away and pursue the person. I eventually tackle the person to the snow and flip them over. To my apparent surprise, it is a woman. She could not have been any older than at least thirty. She had long untamed dirty blonde hair and a narrow face. The hood of her olive green coat covered half of her head as she lay in the snow. The fur around the seems of the hood is only slightly darker than her hair. Her coat is unzipped revealing a maroon colored sweatshirt. The dream ends as I express my initial shock, saying “It’s a woman!” (mostly to myself).
I only remember one dream. It was pretty strange. I was at some highschool, the mascot was ro (fish eggs that taste delicious and salty). I was thinking of deleting my twitter password, and some assholes were like "Hurrr, lets steal his account." ThenI decided I would steal Duke Nukem's Twitter password. Then we cryogenically froze Duke and cloned him and stuff. I woke up quite a few times throughout, that probably messed with me.

[QUOTE=DJswitch;30594322]Hey, can you tell me why my sub's trying to fuck with me? post is ^[/QUOTE] Because you think so. When it comes to dreams, what you think about, is.
Oh lord I was wondering where this went! I haven't posted in here for months. I really need to start going lucid again. I was on the brink of going successfully, completely lucid in a majority of my dreams when this thread was moved, then I lost it, stopped going lucid, and even stopped remembering my dreams! Argh, I need to get back into this! It was so fun!
[QUOTE=Orkel;30597239]Because you think so. When it comes to dreams, what you think about, is.[/QUOTE] When it happened the first time, I sorta shrugged it off. But the second time it's like what the hell?

Why is it that at the slightest bit of trouble or any "weird" dreams ( arent dreams always weird...) it MUST be a. The anti sub or b. Your sub is "fucking" with you I mean, your subs fucking with you by beating you up in your dreams with no real message? Some dreams can just be random thoughts or fears sometimes right

I am with Zin when it comes to the fact the [highlight]subconscious is you and you are it. You're both one and the same[/highlight]
Feels good to shrug off overly weird dreams like a normal occurance.
K, another question. Sometimes I dream, have a vague impression of what the dream was right after I wake up, and then forget about it completely when I wake up, forgetting I even had a dream. Then sometime in the next 3 or 4 months something happens that I somehow recall, and then I remember that dream that I had so long ago, and the situation plays out exactly how it happened in the dream, until I realise that I dreamed about what I am experiencing, if that makes any sense. De ja vu basically, but it takes months to happen. I only recall a very short time of real life when it happens, not an entire situation. Most of the time the way a place looks or where people are triggers it. Is there any explanation of that?
when you dream a girl is hugging you or give you a kiss, and you wake up and perceive it was all a dream, and your life is a shit.
I just experienced SP for the first time. The dream was that I was in a porno. After I got done getting happy with the bitch I sat down in a chair and kind of fell asleep. I was sitting in the same position as I was sitting in real life. Everything went fuzzy and I couldn't move. The only thing I could control was my breathing. After a while I realized it was SP and woke up, but still couldn't move. I kind of liked it tbh.
Wait till the monsters find you [editline]21st June 2011[/editline] I got barely any sleep compared to usual last night. No recall :frown:
Banana Spiders The dream shows a large banana spider crawling on a box in my current Florida home. My brother and I are watching and wanting to get rid of it. I say to him “Get rid of it, damn it!” My brother then gets a ruler or pencil and starts poking it. He then scoops the spider up and flicks it towards me. The spider almost lands on my face, as I remember the feeling of its legs touching my face. Humorously, when I woke up, I awoke flailing. When I realized I was awake, I turned on my light and began to look around and see if that large spider was actually just a dream. Thankfully, it was.
Guys I am freaked the fuck out, I would really appreciate some support here. Yesterday (today being Wednesday 12.50am) I changed my methods around a bit. I had been trying hard to lucid dream for a month or two and I had watched a video (how to double your brain peformance - youtube) recently about the subconscious. The video said there's two ways of 'programming' your subconscious to achieve something in real life, trying to encourage the bursts of inspiration or solutions to problems. Anyway, one way to to focus 100% on the problem, the other is to let it go and completely believe and have faith it will be worked out by your subconcious. I tried the latter for a change. The result: 4-5 lucid dreams up to the point I woke up. First two or three were good and i got the hang of flying for the first time and lots happened but I forgot about my goals. I had been DEILD chaining so i could jump straight into another one. On the fourth I tried to accomplish my goal, which was to ask my subconscious to help me get lucid every night. I asked him to personify himself, nothing happened. I was at some cafe setting and there was a guy in a chair (biker kinda guy) and said to me "I best not do that if I were you" or something along those lines. I was a bit confused why. I decided I should wake up to record these or at least go unconscious so I could write them down later when I woke up. The dream eventually fades and I'm in my bed with my eyes closed so I get up and my desk and computer are missing (this is a consistent dream sign of my mine btw), what the hell? I get up calmly and think about how to exit dreams and I remember something about breathing patterns so I mix it up by breathing fast, slow and random. Nothing happens. I begin to hear my breathing from the real me in my bed at this point - it sounds pretty bad like I'm gasping for air. I start to panic at this point and pace up and down my dream room blinking like mad and breathing randomly, anything to wake up. Whoo it works, in my bed. Get up. It looks different and a nose RC fails. Shit. I fly down to my street and start thinking stuff like "oh shit I hope i don't see my worst fear" and then worry because I'm thinking about not seeing it and stuff like being trapped. I end up going to a bar and getting into a fight (and purposely losing) to REALLY wake up. tl;dr - break dry streak with new method, get 4/5 lucid dreams in a row, feel trapped, exit methods fail, panic. I'm not even sure if that DEILD chaining was real or just false awakenings. :tinfoil: Sorry about any typos or spelling mistakes, I'm just a bit dazed right now.
Ok, now that I'm back into lucid dreaming for good, started 3 days ago. I have a problem, especially with stabilization. Rubbing my hands never seems work and last night, spinning caused to me go blind, so I was basically left fighting to get out of the dream. (Call me dumb if it's SP. I've experienced it before and this was nothing like it.) I swear, in the next lucid, if hugging doesn't stabilize the dream, can someone suggest me a method?.
Stroke your chin in a thoughtful way, or rub your fingertips against your lips. (Both you fingertips and your lips are pretty touch sensitive, so it might pull you more into the dream)

It'll make your brain want to stay dreaming longer.

[QUOTE=Oblivious1;30624759]I'll try it if hugs fail.[/QUOTE] Touch everything everywhere. Listen to it. see it. smell it. taaaaaste it.
What the hell fp says there's a page 33 Anyways, um... I've got nothing to contribute, really, other than that when bad stuff happens in dreams, you're usually trying to tell yourself something Maybe it's as simple as "I should try to avoid getting a katana up my solar plexus", maybe not As for me, gonna sleep for 6-ish hours, go postal at my unbelievably boring workplace, 'finish' my absurdly overdue homework, then hook myself up with machines in a lab half-an-hour from where I live in an attempt to figure out whether my chronic fatigue is sleep apnea or just terrible, terrible sleep habits. So sleep study woo That's on-topic, right?

Generally speaking, when you DEILD, you don't wake up. You just kind of...continue. That was probably a false awakening.
In my latest lucid nap I had a mild case of exploding head syndrome. I kind of liked it. It was funny.
Blink really fast to wake up.
I just slept from 2 am to 2 pm, with no recall. Now this is just getting silly. I'm shooting for 10 pm tonight, I think I'll go swimming for a few hours just to make sure I'm tired.
Has anyone ever had a weird dream that nags in the back of your mind for the whole day after, like you're getting little flashbacks to it? I had one where this girl I knew in my school was dying of cancer. It was long and drawn out, and at the very end she died. For the whole day afterwards I couldn't stop thinking about it. I distinctly remember a chemical smell, from chemo drugs in the dream. It actually affected me so much I struck up a conversation with the girl on MSN that night in real life, which is weird because we barely ever talk any more. This was a while ago, by the way.
Dreams come by so rarely to me now. They used to be abundant back then. I still haven't been able to dream since the fighting dream I had, so I'm trying to base my dream signs on that girl-thing who's been showing up.
Am I the only person who whenever I'm having a good dream, sometimes I'm taken out of said dream and put into a horrible nightmare?
