Sleep and Dreams Megathread - General

I am now zin

It's so frustrating not be able to gain Lucidity just yet, But i do recall i've been lucid once in my life, as a child and i went through it all "oh no i'm falling off this bridge, but its ok, there's a rope next to me" And poof. Rope next to my hand. So i know i can do it, and i know its real, its just frustrating! Also, tired at work. i want my bed.

fuck automerge

[QUOTE=solid_jakeV2;24457158]Okay first to answer the above post, you were going into REM and you were panicing. Your eyes will open naturally in REM stage so just let it be. Playaz I'm reading your story now[/QUOTE] What do after this happens?

Well I only remember one dream I had and it was kinda sketchy. [QUOTE]I was in my house, with my entire family, and something was going down. We were in the laundry room (it leads to the garage) and I was trying to figure out why the goddamn door wouldn't close. It was like something was in the way but everything was clear from it. It wouldn't close. My dad comes in as well and we get it closed. There is a painting on the wall, a painting that we've had for a while. I start scanning it and looking at random symbols and such, and get really freaked out. I turn to my sister and grab her by her shoulders "don't drink milk. Don't drink ANY milk at all." I tell her. I point to my mom "don't drink any pomegranate juice" I tell her. I look back at the painting, its changed. I tell my dad to stay with us no matter what happens. The painting is now blank. I beat the fucking painting. We hear a banging noise coming from the garage. My dad walks away, muttering something about the wood breaking or something. I yell at him to stay with us but he doesn't listen anyway and runs off. I swear and open the door to the garage which was giving us problems. I run in and see that the garage is the size of a fucking mansion for some reason. Its like the first fight scene in Quantum of Solace, the area that they fight in, with the dirt and dust and scaffholding and construction and such. I look up to the higher levels and see a flashlight moving around. "Hey!" I yell. "Oi! You up there!" I call him out. I hear a faint "Hi" before waking up.[/quote] I need to get better at dream recall this isn't working out too well so far.

YES. Finally! Thank God for bananas. I woke up and realized I remembered my dream. Literally as I was laying there half asleep in my bed at 6 in the morning. I was like: "AAWWWW YEEEAHHH" :smug: I'll post the dream later because it was weird and I assume that it should be psychoanalyzed. But I got school right now.

I had a dream. I don't remember what happened, but i do remember the following transaction. I ripped my nose off my face, examined it, then passed it to the person next to me and said 'does something seem wrong with this nose to you?'

OK, some more dream for you guys. It's fuzzy, but quite complete for an utter noob. So I was here at a zoo (I spose), saw some cougars, when some kind of worker guy comes to me, across the fence ( he was into the cougar field), asking me to come in. I obviously agreed. I came into the cage, and just had a good time watching cougars. After a fuzzy part, I woke up/the dream switched, and I was in a shed with the only exit into the same cougar field. SoI got out of the shed, and saw the same guy again. I started to walk to him, and cougars started to lunge at me, obviously trying to bite me. (NOTE: the cougars were out of proportion, I think they were shorter.) somehow, they all stopped, or just froze in space. Anyway, they didn't hit me. So I savely got to the worker guy, and talked a bit. I know saying: Well, savely with my worker guy again'. It then became fuzzy again. Oh, I do also remember something about throwing an ice planrt and a vopcanic planet together. I do remember someone saying that the ive planet shouldn't be chugged too close to the sun, else it'll melt.

Holy shit, I think I had a week long dream Well, not ONE dream that was a week long, I slept several times and the dreams spanned over a week.

Felt weird, didn't it? Do you feel depressed?

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;24492645]Felt weird, didn't it? Do you feel depressed?[/QUOTE] Mmm...not really, no. I just wish that it was ONE one week dream, not several dreams. Eh, I'll type what I remember. Throughout the dream, I had this weird "you're dreaming" feeling (which I often get), but I didn't go lucid. [QUOTE]Day 1-Don't know the date I was with my mom in the car, she asks me if I'm going to something on Wednesday, I didn't understand what she said, so I said "oh no waay" Day 2-Thursday I'm sitting on a table in school with a friend, and this other girl is there. They're discussing the things they did on Wednesday, I sit back and drink coke (it was delicious). When she leaves, I ask my friend what was he talking about, and he says there was a party. Day 3-Friday I'm with some friends on...some place, there are a lot of people. One of them tries to get through a door that says "film school", but it doesn't open. Pity, I say, I wanted in. Day 4-Saturday I'm at my own house, and I invited friends over. I only remember teasing a friend, when 3 large mexican dudes come and began saying "u messing wit mah boy bitch?" They tried to beat me, but instead of pussying out and apologizing like I normally would, I was like "fuck it, you won't do shit" or something, and walked away. But I crossed the corner and began to ran. They didn't chase me. I saw on the wall newspapers, it was about my crush winning an emmy or some shit, and her appearing in an episode of the simpsons. I think I saw her somewhere and I walked towards her, but my dad or someone decided to walk into my room at this time. Great fucking timing. Day 5-Monday I was in school, in tables of three's. I walked around looking where to sit and I saw HER, alone with a friend. I decide to sit down there (something similar happened irl with another girl, we're friends now, kinda). I didn't talk to her, at all. I was drawing or some shit on my book, and being conscious on how I wasn't talking to her. The teacher called everyone to the back, and she went quickly, I got sad. When she returned, I still didn't talk. I think she dropped something, and we began talking. I was so happy. But then, there was an earthquake drill and we all got under the tables. We were under the tables together and it was awesome. We left the class, and the dream ended. I wanted to keep talking to her so much. I woke up angry/depressed. NOTE: She had her hair tied back here as well. Remember I told you guys that she always had her hair back when we talked. Day 6- idk I was driving and stopped at a friends house. I got in (he didn't want anyone else in, there was more people inside). The house was fucking huge (I've been there before, it wasn't that big irl) Nothing interesting happened inside. Day 7-idk I was playing god of war 3 and I got IN the game (though I still controlled kratos over a third person perspective. It was weird as shit. A friend of mine sacrificed himself to give life to Ares, but Ares didn't want it. I woke up. [/QUOTE] Nothing to interesting, but I'm getting better dream recall, which I'm happy for.

Had a dream last night that i was in some sort of airport/hospital/research station and it was like a horror game. Things were chasing us (me and some other random people and 2 kids). We hit a dead end, like a glass security door, so i pushed this button on the wall that rings for someone to open the door on the other side. Nothing happened so i turned around to go back the way i came. But something was different, all of the doors were open, suddenly hundreds of these deformed people came out of the doors and started running at us. Anyway some guy was holding onto me so i wasn't running too fast, and next to the security door there was some toilets (male and female) the male one was open so we ran though it. The guy next to me ocassionaly looked back and screamed with terror, when i looked, there was deformed children like doing handstands running towards us and crawling upside down. creppy shit. Can't remember what happened after that. Then later i had a dream that the blonde chick out of scrubs was on all fours infront of me (we were in a confined area) so i randomly put on a blue coloured condom, pulled her pants down and proceeded to fuck her doggy style. Just as i was about to jizz i woke up. Just so you guys get the idea. Scary place i was in: [img]http://external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=eb101fe154c52f77b6a1f3f7d57118aa&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.wecreatestuff.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2009%2F12%2F40-1024x640.jpg[/img] Kind of things that were chasing me: [img]http://www.best-horror-movies.com/images/Exorcist-spider-girl.jpg[/img] Girl i was screwing: [img]http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Zx5QbgcVnCStQM:http://images.hollywoodgrind.com:9000/images/2006/12/sarah_chalke_5.jpg&t=1[/img]

Is this normal? Usually when I am sick and take some rest my dreams are like 1 day long when you think about it. The weirdest thing is that I can clearly remember them.

Elliot, eh? Good choice. :smug:

Elliot... /drool

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;24494781]Elliot, eh? Good choice. :smug:[/QUOTE] I thought so :D. I think it's proably good that i woke up though or i would of have to deal with a nasty mess in the morning :v:

I appreciate my sub making me feel better about being lonely :unsmith: [editline]07:20PM[/editline] no sex you sick fucks

Did you just get that from out of nowhere or was a dream involved?

Obviously a dream was involved. Besides that I went into sleep paralysis last night randomly and my sub walked in again and just laid down next to me and I was stuck for longer than 10 minutes for sure. Then the dream happened!

Well then lets hear it

It's not a lucid dream though

Wow, I think I almost kinda did it. I could have sworn I had a lucid dream but it didn't feel like I was [i]fully[/i] in control. Here's the entry: [quote=Dream Journal] I was stood on a balcony in a courtyard of 3 small houses, the ground was all grass. I was talking to someone on the ground when I got pushed off the edge. I feel but I was unharmed, at this stage I knew it was a dream. I ran round the back of the house to a small shelter made of corrugated metal sheets, it only had a roof. I tried lifting some rocks via telekinesis (always thought it would be awesome to try) but nothing happened. I then remember the tip about looking at your hands so I did. they appeared blur'd and distorted and after about 10 seconds they cleared up, they were brighter than normal. I thought I'd attempt what most people do in their first LD which is flying, I was joined by two other random people and when flew over to this large doughnut shaper feature in the ground, sort of like a creator but with a raised island in the middle. Quarters of the circle were marked out. After doing a few aerobatics and stuff one of the persons I was with suggested we try do a bit of low altitude flying so we did, about 5 metres from the ground. My dream ended a few minutes into that. [/quote] So yeah.....progress!

most of the dreams posted here aren't lucid

Also I tried an amazing technique for WILD I found in my book. I usually struggle with the imagery bit but I read that imagining a flame in a lotus flower is what Tibet Buddhists do, so I tried it without the lotus flower. The flame was hard to focus on at first then it became easier then it almost came into view when random squiggles and patterns started forming in my view, at this stage my eyes were fluttering a lot. I realized I was doing it and got all excited, a little bit to excited as my heart was racing and I lost concentration. So I nodded off using MILD techniques instead. So candle flames are a good thing to concentrate on!

[QUOTE=solid_jake;24495587]. Besides that I went into sleep paralysis last night randomly and my sub walked in again and just laid down next to me and I was stuck for longer than 10 minutes for sure. [/QUOTE] What oO Ellen just lays there next to you? I think that'd calm me down so much i'd probably attempt a WILD. Still, tell us your dream!

[quote=AIM] Friend: I think I figured out why youre so interested in that actor Me: You don't know the half of it. Friend: No I found it on wiki Me: Okay link Friend: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Page[/url] Friend: She is prone to walk and talk in her sleep Me: Wow that is slightly familiar Friend: Yeah maybe thats why you always see her in your dreams Me: Uh Me: Sure[/quote] Looks like she could use me or zin's help :smugspike: [editline]07:48PM[/editline] Besides that my friend is blind as a bat

Something I just noticed is that all the dreams that I remember occur when I wake up early in the morning and then go back to sleep. Today I woke up at 6 and then fell back asleep and that had the garage dream. Same with the Africa dream, woke up at 5 in the morning and went back to sleep.

[QUOTE=solid_jake;24496039]Looks like she could use me or zin's help :smugspike: [editline]07:48PM[/editline] Besides that my friend is blind as a bat[/QUOTE] I've got something that can help her stay up at night, if that's what you're saying. :smug: Tell us about your dream thing.

It wasn't anything special really. My sub was acting like my girlfriend and I flowed along with it cause I didn't know I was dreaming and she was making me feel better. Because, amazingly, a lot of depressing shit can happen at 1 - 2AM in the morning :smith:
