I had a dream where I was happy, all the blackjack and hookers a man could ask for
Alright so for the past like 5 nights in a row I've woken up at around 4 in the morning, roughly 3 hours before I get up, and had no recall at all. Then when I do wake up Ive remembered at least part of the dream I was having before it got interrupted by the alarm clock.
Is it normal in the slightest to have weird sudden sleeping pattern changes
(S)ex Games
The dream takes place in a massive desert canyon area, where a massive truck roars at high speeds. The truck is segmented into parts like a train. Inside, there are numerous women sitting on all fours. They are dressed in leather outfits similar to female wrestlers or the “Merry Murderesses” from the movie Chicago.
The dream then cuts to the last segment of the train car where another woman, wearing the same kind of outfit- only with an added green silk sash tied around her waist- holding something in her left hand. A narration ensues in the voice of Morgan Freeman. All I remember of it is him ending with: “The prize…? Soap.” The object that the woman is holding drops down to reveal a bar of green soap hanging from a rope. This entire scene appeared to me in slow motion: The dust flying past and the sash fluttering in the wind were all vividly displayed before me. It was apparent to me now that this was all some sort of tournament.
The dream cuts again to the truck segment with the women in it. I was standing in a corner over-looking the truck segment as a sort of referee (I may have been wearing a mask of some sort too). The dream ends as I observe the women competing an obstacle course on their knees.
Had a dream involving magic and shit from Harry Potter, 400,000 droids and tie fighters from star wars and batman.
Needless to say, it was awesome.
I dreamed I was but of a controversial government psychological test. Me, a little girl, and this chick I know IRL were the test subjects. They would try to get us to bond with mascots from major league baseball teams then find them in a dark sewer tunnel and fight them to the death. Of course, we had the advantage, they wanted us to win, but wanted to see if we could do it. The girls both snapped. They took off their pants and started protesting. I went on through the test and killed a mascot.

It's a conspiracy, man :tinhat:
I approached the odd building; there was a large and very artistic entrance; clearly they hadn't skimped on an architect. I entered alone, only to meet a man there for the same reason as me, as he helpfully stated. A nurse approached and called our names, then led us to my room. It was larger than your average one-person hotel room, with a recliner, cable, a personal bathroom w/ shower, and a SleepNumber bed. She then showed us the breakfast room, so-called because of its primary purpose. At the time, though, I was just looking for some ice water.
I went back to my room alone, for the time content with fiddling with the bed's controls. The inclusion of a massage feature was intriguing to me, but made a horrible racket.
About 20 minutes passed, and the nurse returned. We made small talk as she stuck wires all over my body, and by 8 o'clock she was done. She asked when I would like to go to sleep, and I told her 10:30 would be about right, though I ended up deciding to stay up for the Colbert Report on the cable TV. Until then I played Beat Hazard Ultra, attempting to get the six achievements left.
When she came back, she put the finishing touches on the sensory equipment, making sure that I was comfortable with my bed's settings. Through the intercom she asked me to, with my eyes only, look left, right, up, and down (I resisted the urge to signal the Konami code), to point the toes of both my feet three times, and to hold my breath while pushing my stomach in and out. I sincerely hoped it was to check the setup.
I took an hour to finally get to sleep, with the cords significantly constricting freedom of movement. According to the results, I slept for 2 and a half hours before they woke me; I had several instances of a mild form of sleep apnea, during which my oxygen levels lowered significantly, as well as abnormal leg movements. I had, on average, 56 sleep events per hour (during which I awoke ever so slightly). When I was awakened, they informed me that they wanted me to try sleeping with a CPAP machine, which would provide constant air pressure to my airways and, theoretically, keeping them open. I dreamt I was on a recreational swim team for people with personal breathing machines. There were times when I felt that my machine was forcing me to breath faster and faster, but these feelings generally subsided. Any more details were pretty irrelevant.
When I was woken up for the final time, I told the nurse about my dream, and she stated that during my REM sleep, I had several instances of rapid breathing.
All in all, I got approximately 40 minutes of REM sleep, 70 of Stage 3 sleep, 60 of Stage 2 sleep, and 130 of Stage 1 sleep, for a total of 6 hours of sleep. I was still tired.
I attempted to take a shower to get rid of the gunk in my hair, but water was cold. I decided it would wait until after my Continental Breakfast. I went to the breakfast room and examined what it had to offer. A pot of coffee, Corn Flakes, assorted juices and milks... I decided on making myself a PBJ sandwich and some Oreos, mortified that they would have the nerve to call it a Continental Breakfast without waffles.
I returned to the shower, not quite sure how to approach my problem. If anything the water had gotten colder. I gritted my teeth and bore through it, bereft though I was of my earplugs. Shampoo was provided, though regrettably in a dispenser, thus resisting my effort to collect souvenirs. I decided to simply raid the breakfast room again before leaving.
I now have in my possession a prescription for nose pillows, which I am assured is quite comfortable as far as CPAP masks go, silly though the name may be.
All in all, I give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Would stay again if paid by insurance, though going wire-free would be a plus.
I had a dream which was exactly like these two fanfics.

Last night I dreamed I was playing the original Legend of Zelda on a handheld.
I got to a point where I would acquire a horse. It was really fucked up looking, kinda like a creepy zombie. Instead of winning a race or something to get it, I just had to decide whether to take it or let be chopped up into meat.
I ended up fighting Gannon while riding it, having to ram him into spikes on the walls.
It was pretty weird.
Before this, I again tried bothering Antoine into letting me have vivid dreams and stuff. He ignored me.
i had a wet dream erololololol
(it had water in it)
I dreamed
Ah shit I forgot.
It was cool though.
You're not meant to remember dreams, is this true?
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;30626730]It's hard to tell when it's a DEILD and when it's a FA. Generally speaking, when you DEILD, you don't wake up. You just kind of...continue. That was probably a false awakening.[/QUOTE]
Hey. Would it help greatly if I had bananas before I slept, or does it just help recall? Also, I've been having a 'tough' time getting a dream lately. Any reason why?
Had a dream I ate a brownie-flavored pie and a cinnamon roll next to some suited men and C(my sub).
'twas goooooood.

Told you man
stuff tastes like orgasm in dreams.
I cant even get to sleep paralyzis :frown: I go really numb for like an hour until it interrupts itself for various reasons.
1. Most often the insides of my eyelids dry out and I have to blink. If I don't, my eyes open by themselves.
2. Many time my arms/fingers starts to move by themselves and I lose the numb feeling.
2. Sometimes it feels like the muscles in my arms and legs contracts until it becomes unbearable and I cancel the whole attempt.
Any ideas?

You have to remember that WILD is hard to do for beginners. You should attempt easier methods(I just dream occasionally and try to look for dream signs.)
I'm at my grandparents' cabin now for vacation, pretty cool. I've been looking forward to it, both consciously and subconsciously. Dreamt about it so much it was practically a dream sign.
So last night I had a pretty long dream or dream series or something. Mostly communicating w/ my sub, though other stuff went at the same time (escaping a castle under attack?). I had a notebook, and when I focused on a particular part of what it said, words would appear that were addressed to me (from my sub). I wrote some stuff back on a clean page, I would go back, and more writing would be there in response. Cool stuff, not something I've done before.
For some reason, though, my sub wants me to make a word document designated for communication to him, but only in ciphers. To which I'm like......
...what?
Otherwise, nothing doing... my appointment for nose pillows is on Thursday. I apologize for the TL;DR quality of my last post, but I've been thinking about getting into writing, and I suppose the point was to make sure I could... well, and I wanted to say that treatment for sleep apnea should help me get more REM sleep, which is cool, though I suppose irrelevant to most of you...
So yeah, sorry I don't have any advice, but the few people asking are asking for something I have no experience with. (DJSwitch, I can't help with your 'tough times getting dreams' unless you have more details, and Fiskepudding, awesome name, but I've never had SP. So, y'know, it's not required, but I don't have any more to say about that)
I dreamed me and two broskis were having a multi-vehichle road trip through mexico in tuxes. And we got chased around by a mexican in a tank 4-wheeler.
Dreamt I was so skinny that I could see the outline of my hips. What the fuck sub..?

The point isn't to induce a coma, you can move and close your eyes and stuff.
Just go to sleep, but stay aware of what's happening. It's a difficult concept to explain, but it's like you need to be conscious and aware while still falling asleep.
I'll WILD tonight and then post my experience/steps in the morning for you.
Okey doke.
So basically, you just go to sleep. It's not difficult. Don't try to plank up or keep your eyes open or stop breathing or anything. Just go to sleep.
Usually right before you drift off, you'll see static and stuff. That's the first sign of your brain shutting down for sleep. Visual feedback happens before auditory feedback, so once that happens, you're on your way. Don't be like OH MY GOD and wake up, just realize it's there and try to figure out what it is without moving your eyes. (Even though your eyes are closed, you'll try to focus on the image and then it will go away. It's almost impossible to not try to stare at it, but try. It's good discipline.)
Just chill out and take a back seat to your brain, watch what happens. Don't interfere and try to think of boobs or whatever, just let it happen.
Eventually, and this is where it gets hard, you'll hear something. Instinct will tell you to jerk up in bed and figure out what it was (usually it sounds like a really loud CRACK. It does to me, anyway.) You have to ignore it and take it in stride, which is the hardest part of WILDing, imo. It's the same attitude you take to your doorbell ringing. "Oh, a sound." not "OH SWEET JESUS WHAT WAS THAT".
Once you've gotten that far, just keep being all passive. Eventually you'll feel your heart slowing down (second hardest part, it's an odd feeling and fights some conscious instincts), then your feet will get super heavy (or light, depends on how you go into SP), then you enter some weird territory that differs for most people.
Just stay passive until you "wake up". Sometimes you'll literally wake up, or you'll be in a situtation, or everything will just be black. Test control of your limbs, do a reality check, and then do whatever the fuck you want. Just don't freak out that you finally managed to do it, because then you'll wake yourself up and hate yourself for it.
Best explanation I can give for WILD. I can expand further when I'm not tired, I just woke up.

Just to add, it has to be after a few hours of normal sleep, it's nigh impossible to WILD right after going to bed.
Well, yesterday I was with my family in a Starbucks and I somehow managed to fall asleep deep enough to get to a semi-lucid state (either that or I was hallucinating, which I think is highly unlikely) in under 15 minutes. It makes sense that I would fall asleep because I had been having sleep problems during the week)
What basically happened was that I lay back on one of those comfy chairs they have and closed my eyes. I opened them a short while later and the entire room is deserted. No customers, no staff. I was shocked and immediately I got up from the chair and ran towards the door. As I'm approaching the door, a Walther P99 falls out of my pocket and onto the floor. I actually felt it leave my pocket and heard it slap the floor. As I bend down to pick it up, gunfire erupts from a van across the street, smashing glass and punching holes in the plaster on the walls. 5 seconds into this, my eyes blink and I'm with my family in a bustling Starbucks.
The clock had only passed ~20 minutes. :confused:
Nap dreams.
Fun stuff.
[QUOTE=Orkel;30727133]Just to add, it has to be after a few hours of normal sleep, it's nigh impossible to WILD right after going to bed.[/QUOTE]
So should I go to sleep and set my clock like 2-3 hours before I wake up, and then try WILDing?
[QUOTE=Orkel;30727133]Just to add, it has to be after a few hours of normal sleep, it's nigh impossible to WILD right after going to bed.[/QUOTE]
I disagree. You fall asleep within 15-20 minutes of going to bed, and three sleep cycles are spent solidifying dreams. WILD is basically defined as going lucid immediately after going to bed.
If you wake up and do it, it's not WILD it's WBTB.
So, I actually managed to do a RC in my dream. Something just didn't feel right so I pressed my tongue against my teeth and the room shifted about three feet to the right. In the same second I snapped back into reality and my tongue was doing the RC in real life.... I didn't even get a chance to do anything or get the thought that I was even in a dream by the time it happened.

So uh, I should just sit still? That's what I've been doing, other than the occasional thinking about something else/counting down

Very informative; I'm doing this tonight.
I had a pile of dreams two nights ago. Here are some brief overviews:
1. I see all animals as people, regular average joe people. Also I'm in a puzzle game a puzzle game.
2. Read some creepy book, now I'm hearing things. I'm driving along a mountain road in the rain. Something is in the car with me.
3. I fall into some golden necklace shaped like an eagle. I
4. I stumble upon an Elder Gods Social. An embodiment of envy is a black guy in a shiny green suit, singing "ebony, ebony" while playing a keyboard that came out of nowhere.
There were a few more, but computer trouble just happened to coincide and stop me from recording them all.

Also I'm gonna go for WILD tonight.
On another note, last night I tried having a pile of cinnamon before bed. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.
