Um...yeah, I think. Iirc that means you either feel hopeless, like you have something to do or finish and you feel like you'll never finish it, or that you're scared of something happening and you can't escape it.
Dammit, it's the second time I dream about having the machine used in Inception.
I dreamed that I had it and used it to fall asleep, but I always forget to control this new dream.
Moveed to this page. :ohdear:
[quote]Hey everyone, I got a problem I could use some help with.
To make a long story short I had this really awesome dream about me and my friend (whom I saw the day prior) that was like an action movie or sorts. But in my dream my friend lost a fight and was caught in a room with a jet black door. While all the other doors had color to them. Anyways, after he was trapped in the room and I tried to reach it (the door was too high up). I woke up. Ever since then I have been trying to get back into that dream. The first time I had it I meditated (cleared my mind) beforehand. I wrote it down and remember it perfectly now. The problem is I cant get into it. Last night I tried, I was half awake and half asleep. I was back where I was when I left the dream. But since I hadnt fallen asleep yet, I was struggling to keep the imagery real. I wanted to create a ladder to get up to the door, but for some reason I couldnt (I had this odd belief that I should keep the dream as uncontaminated as possible with things I create, so if there was a different way to solve the situation, I should use that method instead). So I pushed (with my mind) a large climbable boulder up to the door. I walked up to the door. I was about to open it but I knew most of this was created by my awake imagination, not my subconscious. And since everything that surrounded me was created by my subconscious the dream before, I didnt want to go into a room and "lacklusterlly" create the interior of the room with my imagination. From there I tried to let my subconscious take over but it ran off in some other direction about my friends, school, family etc.. Basically crap I didnt want to dream about. The only reason I had partial lucidity was because I was more than half awake. I have not been able to lucid dream yet.
My question is, how can I get back into that dream, but for real? Not my imagining it? Nothing I do will keep my mind off of other things. Thanks for any advice.[/quote]
I used to write down my dreams, I havent done it in a while now but i've been remembering my dreams more often. (yay)
I had an insane one a few weeks ago.
I was in jurassic park with the looney tunes guys, and the cat was blue and a bit orange, somewhat like a mudkip, shit happened and we hid under a tree after escaping dinosaurs and climbing up a waterfall. Now this is when it got weird. The cat guy from looney tunes curled up into a toilet seat with a lock on it, and said in a robotic voice: "I AM NO LONGER AN APPROPRIATE FETISH" and I woke up.
Trippy as shit.
And another one yesterday.
I was reading about Axolotl's, they seemed awesome little creatures, I read about their problems with metamoprhing. My dream was them sleeping in bananas, and one of the bananas was green and had a bulge on it, which apparently meant that it was metamorphing, someone told me to open it and see if the little guy had survived, and it was half dead, sad, but really weird.
I have weird dreams, but I rarely get lucid, I've gotten lucid 2 times and both really short, I wish I'd be lucid all the time.

Man, I used to get that so much. Not being able to see properly as well, like really having to strain to see any detail at all. I fucking hate those dreams.

I also had a dream where I was a cop and Simon Pegg was my cop partner, and I kicked down my friend's door when they were in the middle of having breakfast and felt really awkward about it afterwards. My friend's mum said something like "you're going to have to pay for that, you know."
what could this mean
it means that you have to pay for that.

I hate that, although for me it's more of a drunken limpness.
I've had two lucid dreams, I don't remember them when I wake up just the mood and the fact I was conscious while in the dream (lucid dreaming).
One was where I just experimented with lucid dreaming, played a nostalgic video game, and at the end I attempted sexual activities by fingering some girl I cant remember, and Icant remember anything else.
And the second one was a nightmare, I barely remember this but I remember I woke up and looked at my hands, they were white and see-through, and the lines of my hands were black and glowing.
I remember I kept waking up and running, each time I randomly woke up again, and each time I felt more fear and tried to get out of the dream and wake up, and eventually I did.
So I had a lucid dream this morning. The dream itself wasn't all that great, but the way that I induced it was pretty humorous.
So I was laying in my bed in the morning after I just woke up. I started thinking about school, then my teacher, and then I starter to trail off. I soon realized that I was on the verge of a dream, but then I got too excited and snapped out of it. So I thought to myself, "Shit, I gotta start daydreaming [i]fast[/i]." I started thinking about fighting some random person. As the imagery got more vivid, we were boxing at some big Las Vegas venue. I just had this feeling of "knowingness" that if I connected a solid punch to his head, I'd enter my dream. So I took a swing, and voila, I was lucid dreaming.

Happens to me with fighting dreams. Like I'll have to fight someone or punch someone or whatever and my arm feels like it's moving through like molasses or something.
How long do we have to watch the hypnagogic image until it forms? I never get LD because it's so long. I even almost open my eyes.

Don't focus on it if it gets boring. Just kind of chill out and watch stuff forming before your eyes. It's interesting what you end up seeing sometimes.

I fucking hate it when I fall in a dream, mainly because I sleep on a tall bed, and fall off.

Involing lucid dreams, if you are actually [i]hurt[/i] and do not die, is the pain real and truely, pain?
I've tried lucid dreaming off and on, I never succeed though. But one thing is for sure, I'm not the only one who gets a weird effect when looking into mirrors. One thing that has stuck with me for a while was about a few months ago. All I remember now is that I remember going into the bathroom for a bit and I wanted to take one of my contacts out so I looked into the mirror and all I saw was my eye. But for some reason my pupil was detached and it was all mishaped and in a weird position. Then I just remember screaming and then waking up. Fucking eerie.
I also recall a slight pain in my eye, I don't know if it was just placebo or I was actually touching my eye in real life. I've been known to talk in my sleep, so this wouldn't surprise me.

Your brain can simulate pain, yeah. It'll feel very very crisp in a dream, though. It'll feel very different to a real injury.
You can wake up feeling hurt, yes, but you won't really have whatever injury hurt you. Your brain will make it seem like it, though. It's an odd experience.
Oh my god, I had a sexy dream. I had to go to my Romanian teacher to sign some marks at her house, she's around 24, so yeah. I wanted to fuck her but I was a bit too scared, I through it was real life really. Then she invited me in and turned on the TV while she was taking a look through my marks, I woke up few seconds after, horny as hell.
I wasn't lucid either, I kept myself awake so I can go lucid but I failed because I blacked out, I was tired as fuck. I'm surprised that the dream subject was what I wanted, through.
I had another dream where a octopus monster fell through my roof and I killed it with a sword.
Hey guys. Sorry for not posting in here for a long time, I just had nothing too worthy of posting. But today, I just HAVE to tell you about this.
I just had one of the most creepy/intense/awesome/interesting trans-reality-lucid-dream experience EVER.
Going to sleep, I lay down on my bed, sideways. The first dreamy sequences start shortly, as illusions. I start hearing a soft trumpet melody. I still feel the soft breeze of my open window, but it goes along the imagery of a large field, covered in rich flora. I stop feeling the breeze as the image switches to a young girl, smiling. I continue having nice imagery such as this, but as time goes, they get more and more distorted. First thing, contrast increases and increase until everything is particularly either light or dark. Then some sort of photographic-style image sharpen kicks in, further distorting the images until they're essentially all white, the shadows being strokes of the three primal colours. All of the while while the trumpet slowly shift into radio blabber, sort of like if I was rapidly shifting through radio frequencies, only catching parts of words, and hearing a lot of static. Further in, I start seeing more... creepy images on top of the now-distorted nice imagery. A human skull. The head of a creature which we could expect from the ocean abyss (Kind of like a pterodactyl head, but it's jaw held "open" with probably thousands of disproportionately long but thin as a toothpick teeth, giving it a hellish grin, and with elongated, glossy black eyes giving it an alien look), then several more creepy creatures that could have come from Hell itself. Note that during this whole ordeal, I don't feel any fear. Then I fall asleep, which comes to me as a cut to black with complete silence. I don't know how long it lasted, nor if it included any dreams.
Next part starts with me waking up in a chair inside what I'd describe as a modern control center (lots of LCDs held by a frame in a half-circle panorama around a panel with many buttons and sliders, the only thing really sticking out being a thin, sleek microphone), lit by a green neon (which somehow emitted white light). The screens showed many places, quite a few I could identify, many of which were foreign yet slightly familiar. I already suspect a dream, but it isn't quite lucid yet. The intercom blares alive, a masculine, operator-like voice sounding through. Conversation goes like this:
[QUOTE]Greeman: Greeman to Kawasaki. Do you receive?
Me: Kawasaki to Greeman, get you 5/5. What is it?
Greeman: Found a loophole. Think I found a way into a sealed beta area of the world.[I](Note that I'm not sure if it was a designation for a type of area of if he's really talking about beta)[/I] Investigating.
Me: Alright, keep in touch.
[/QUOTE]
After hearing this, I start questioning this, and I end up going lucid. I decide to use the LCDs to track this Greeman guy. As I expected, he's all geared-up like Solid Snake. For a laugh, I decide to complete the suit by giving him a bandana, to which he answers: "God damn it, stop messing with reality Kawasaki. Only makes my job harder." I laugh at this.
It's only about then that I notice codename Greeman's surrounding. He's walking on a dull brown walkway (by the way, the cam is following him from a heightened view, somewhat like in most 3D RPGs), it looks like an old, brown photograph of a modern urban setting, but only in about a 5-meter radius around him. Beyond this radius is what I could best describe as a starry void, but there was something more to that. Like if I could perceive deliberately the depth of the endless void.
About at that time, I wake up and get sleep paralysis due to thunder, but I manage to look outside. Sky still dark, but the shade of purple leads me to believe sunrise should be soon or it's starting, but it's still pretty early. I fall back asleep.
I'm back to my control center. "Greeman" is now in a park, munching on a Snickers. He goes "Got kicked out... Think it's Zone ## (It's either 34, 37, 42 or 78). I get another episode of sleep paralysis. The sun is now risen, and it's raining. To be honest, this is the only point I doubt. I THINK it was sleep paralysis, but it was still one of the most awesome feelings I ever had, which makes me think perhaps it WAS part of the dream. I could see the rain as individual droplets instead of some mist, was soothed by the soft pounding of rain on the ground, refreshed by the rainy breeze coming in through my still-open window (my window style allows me to do that). I fall back asleep.
Greeman looks concerned. He asks me if I'm alright, to which I reply yes. He tells me the hole detector is going nuts, as if reality itself was getting unstable. I reply telling him to find back Zone ## (while I say the number, all sound becomes highly distorted, as does the image. Greeman looks like he got hit on the head, and has a headache). He goes "Alright", before setting off. He goes behind some bush, and he's back to the void, only this time the circle is only in a one-meter radius. The image and sound again gets distortions.
I wake up in another fit of sleep paralysis, but this time I really know I'm awake. It probably only lasts a few seconds before I fall back asleep. Greeman sounds genuinely worried. He goes and tells me that he's got kicked out again, but this time he doesn't know where he is. I note he's not on any of the LCDs, either, and that I can't force a screen to track him. He goes on rambling that I must seal Zone ## for the sake of everything (the sound again got distorted at the mention of the number). He goes on and repeats: "SEAL ZONE ##!"
At that point I get one last fit of sleep paralysis which leaves me unsettled enough to not fall back asleep. And now, here I am, writing out this story, feeling like for a few minutes I was a backdoor operator of reality itself and that I found an "eldritch zone", a place which wasn't meant to be known.
What do you think about this?
^ I think it's fucking crazy what your mind can make up sometimes.
You have a cool imagination.
So I was going to start the dream journal today. I had a really clear, vivid dream I could have written about. Rather long, too. As soon as I woke up from it, I did in excess. Was still half asleep and rather blurred. It worked, anyways.
And then I woke up with an empty dream journal and entirely forgot the preceding dream. [I]Fuck.[/I]
I had a dream last night that someone hit me with their car. As they sped away, I saw their license plate number. 8866J5. When I woke up, I googled it just for shits and giggles. [url=http://www.google.com/#hl=en&safe=off&q=8866J5&aq=f&aqi=g-p1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=7227c13cd0365e2e]I had a mild freakout[/url]
Hey guys. I've had 3 "Lucid" expriences.
They have all been the same thing.
I felt somewhat crushed and I felt like I was acesending up somewhere, there was lines around me going up, like some futuristic gate with lines around it.
I've had this three times.
The 1st was when I went back to bed when I woke up, still being tired.
2nd was the same thing, but I thought the words "Lucid Dreaming" which caused it.
3rd was some sort of sexual dream, and when it climaxed, it happened again.
Oddly enough I get cooler dreams when my dog has to sleep with me.
But then I forget them because she wakes me up at like 5 in the fucking morning.
Ha, I did it! I became lucid in my dream by simple realizing I wasn't in the same position in my bed as I was when I fell asleep, then I just rubbed my hands together in my dream to get rid of the feeling of me lying on the bed, and I started levitating crap. It's an amazing feeling knowing you can do whatever you want, I could think like I would when I was awake. But for some reason I wasn't excited, so I really didn't think of anything to do. I changed my dream to a city and was laying on the opposite side of my bed that I should, and made a bullet fly by my head, I stopped the bullet mid flight and turned it into some weird liquid and wrote my name in it, then I woke up and tried to lucid dream again. It worked but I forgot what it was about and that's about it. My mind totally blanked on things to do. That sucks.
Also, I did this by taking a nap right after waking up which is the most common time to have a lucid dream.
How do I remember my dreams better? I know I should write them down. And the few I have remembered I wrote down and now I remember them perfectly. But I cant remember any dreams any more. None. I am getting tired of my life. Bored of it. I dont know where to go or what to do. In my dreams everything feels "good". Like the feeling you get when you get into a really good movie. The only way to feel that is to remember my dreams. So are there any other methods of remembering your dreams better? No matter how long I lie in bed and wait for my brain to remember, I cant. :smith:
So has anyone here asked themselves what their biggest fear is?
DID THEY DIE?
[QUOTE=Raneman;24124131]So has anyone here asked themselves what their biggest fear is?

Goddamn that question is starting to annoy me. I certainly have to put that in v2.
Here's my problem in a lot of my dreams I realize I'm dreaming but don't become lucid. Unless I don't remember the lucid part. The thing is, I'm not trying to become lucid. Bad things will happen and I'll basically be in deep trouble. I dunno, maybe I stole something and I go to jail or something. I'm freaking out thinking that it can't be happening and stuff. Then I realize "wait, I'm dreaming," then I just relax, stop caring, and I'm really thankful. I have these kinds of dreams all the time, and 80% of them have me realizing it's a dream, some I don't realize until I wake up, but most I figure out before. In fact last night I had a few layers of dreams(at least two), and in at least two of them the scenario happens(get in trouble, freak out and remember I'm dreaming). And every time I have a dream like that, I can never remember anything after I realize I'm dreaming besides the enormous relief. So either I'm not going lucid or I'm not remembering it.
Since this thread is about sleep, question. So my sleep schedule has been off lately but I've gotten it back to where I can maybe fall asleep by 12-1 AM. I wake up at 6 for school and get out by 3. So with 5-6 hours of sleep, I'm wiped after school, so I've been taking 1-2 hour naps after school. Is that healthy? Or do I need to have a straight 8-9 hours of sleep or is splitting it up fine?
