You know what I mean [editline]08:24PM[/editline] and good
Hey, I have a question for you guys. I've been having some REALLY bad problems getting to sleep lately. I have anxiety issues and I take benzodiazepams(super antianxiety meds) before going to sleep, on a normal basis. Would you guys know of any methods to calm down? I also have been having incredibly strange dreams, ranging from oedipus complexes to Harry Potter+World of Warcraft. My Death Knight killing Harry is the weirdest thing I have ever dreamed.

Then I breathe in and out and tense my muscles from my feet to my head on each breathe in a cycle of 3-4 times. Then I just lay down in my bed.. close my eyes.. and drift away. Like I'm about to do now because I'm calling it for the night. Sweet dreams to everyone

i dreamt that i got shot in the chest last night. it felt like what my brain thinks it would feel like, which wasn't very painful.
Holy shit! I think I should stop lurking now. lol. Well, for the oh so many days I've been trying to achieve a lucid dream, I finally had one earlier today! All I remember was relaxing on a small island alone and saw possibly the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen in my life. I lost lucidity a minute after. Oh well.
I had a true chugging of nightmare fuel a few minutes ago. I was watching a Doctor Who video on Dailymotion and infront there were the heads(As if they were sitting infront like a cinema) of some young girls from the age of 12-13. And they were out of focus, As the funny moment kicked in the girls slowly turned around to show them laughing happily. At this point my dream cut to me playing GMod STALKER RP. Then the dream occured, After the funny moment the girls turned round as normal until after it cut to black, when i started hearing them crying and because this was my own, twisted mind, i knew, just knew, there was going to be the most built-up, terrifying scream of the damned, so i woke up. It sounds insane but i was just happily dreaming about pornography(I fell asleep jerkin' it) And chilling on Stalker RP. And this came out of the blue. Sometimes i dislike being in my own mind. Not just because of this, But also because i constantly hear a stream of thoughts. even when trying to sleep. I'm going to curl up and cry in my cold, dark room. i am much more insane than you think in my deep subconcious because if my subconcious does that to laugh at me then. god. i can pretty much feel my subconcious laughing like a shithead at me right now
[Quote=Nick895]I'm trying to Lucid Dream (Like half of the people here) and I've started to say in my mind that I will do things that my subconscious wants me to do, like a test, but in real life. Because I learned (Or from what Jake said) that your subconscious can hear you when you think. Last night, I barely remembered my dreams, but I remember seeing one of my friends, whom last I saw had long fingernails. Considering I had long fingernails, I took that as a sign to cut them and remember to cut them when necessary. Basically, the way I want to try to get into a dream is for my subconscious to trust me, kind of like Jake. Do you think this will actually work, anyone? [/Quote] Anyone? Please?
You probably can't get your Subconcious to "Trust" you as it's not essentially a whole different mind, it's literally as it suggests, it's just below conciousness, not a different personality. Your subconcious can hear you when you think because it [I]is you.[/I] In my case my subconcious holds my darkest most evil thoughts and likes to torture me with them.

I nearly had my arm sawn off last night :eek:
Hmm, true, Comrade General. I seem too braindead when I'm dreaming to realise that I'm dreaming, but I suppose that's what dream recall is for... Does anyone know whether dream recall makes your dreams more detailed and makes you think more like yourself in your dream? Sorry if these questions have been answered before.
I was going that thing where you're consious and try to make your own dreams and it sucked.
Hrm. I've realised why I'm having a bit of trouble lately. Before I'd started easily remembering my dreams and at least taking shots at reality checks or something. Part of the reason I've been having trouble since school I had suspected all week, but it's been confirmed today. I've remembered bits and pieces of my dreams since Monday, considerably less than from before. However, all the dreams are... normal. They're just my life, but with minor bits amiss. Today I dreamed I woke up and had a normal few hours in my house on a Saturday morning lounging around, thinking about TF2 Hats, and watching TV all while sipping a cup of tea. The only thing amiss was I had an extra set of eyelashes growing in and I felt how prickly they were. I actually checked for them when I got up. It's just been stuff from that. Tuesday, I think it was, I dreamed I was in my Composition II class. However, the only real "difference" from the normal class was the colors of the room, there was a set of shelves in the middle of the room I hid behind to use my phone, and out the window was the Washington D.C. cityscape from one of my first schools instead of just a courtyard in Florida. It's nothing I'd really detect, it still registered as right somehow. Dunno. Perhaps it'll get better as I adjust to this sleeping pattern and my dreams deal less with school. Also, some of these posts remind me of how in one of my last really vivid dreams I remember from my childhood (Which I just realized was actually... partially lucid), I learned how it felt to have my throat slit. It's refreshing and chilled at first, and then you realize you're dying and can't scream.
Good morning to everyone I had one of the most boring dreams in the world. [QUOTE]I am in school, walking through the front door with one of my friends. It's the first day of school, and everyone's grabbing their schedules and running to their classes. My friend and I grab our schedules and run off. I look at my schedule but realize that my first class is Physics 12. "Wait that's not right I already took physics in summer school" I say. (this is actually true) Frustrated, I go to the guidance counselors office but the door to her office is locked. The rest of the dream is me running around the school trying to find her [/QUOTE]
I had a dream last night where I watched TV uninterrupted for a half hour, and unfortunately there weren't any gaps, it played flawlessly. Jake, something is happening.
What show?
School of Rock. I've memorized the whole thing because I've seen it so many times. I know it's longer than a half hour, didn't watch the whole thing.
hahahaha its the same thing with my friend. He loves that movie
I had a boring dream last night too. I was just in a store or something and when I left I woke up.
Just took the dog out for a walk and had a dream flashback. Boring but weird at the same time. [QUOTE]I was outside on the porch of my house. It was starting to transition to the evening, and I was just staring out into the backyard of my house. Then I could hear a buzzing sound by my ear and I could feel something circling around my head. My heart leaped as I realized it was a wasp. I froze and tried not to move or freak out. Then I woke up[/QUOTE] I'm deathly afraid of wasps so yeah
[QUOTE=SteeleCratos;24409632]Just took the dog out for a walk and had a dream flashback. Boring but weird at the same time.

Scared the heck out of me.
I had a dream about potatoes. I dont know why. [editline]11:40AM[/editline] it was scary
