Sleep and Dreams Megathread v2 - General

[QUOTE=solid_jake;24735959]Move your shit[/QUOTE] yess

Any time, Jake.

:smug:

Sleep Master Zen, why don't you post some of your dreams? -Also, in other news, I cannot lucid dream for the life of me. Here's how a morning works: -Wake up, try to remember dream. -Get ready for the day, eat, then right when I'm about to leave the house to get on the bus, I remember that dream. Sometimes it's early enough to run upstairs to grab my notebook, but I always end up forgetting it. HOW DO I REMEMBER DREAMS?

Jake post your shit. [editline]10:42PM[/editline] Or you will be fucked by vampires in SP [editline]10:42PM[/editline] On your dick, They suck the blood out of it.

Trying to enjoy nazi zombies here jesus

[QUOTE=solid_jake;24738246]Trying to enjoy nazi zombies here jesus[/QUOTE] Type up dreams now. Fuck zombies later. In other news, going to sleep, not sure if trying to WILD. Hell I'll do it. Probably will fall asleep tho.

Kill Zombies in your sleep with Ellen type now!

You know, I enjoy Nazi Zombies too, but I managed to stop playing it long enough to reply to this thread whenever someone talks to me. Every hour you don't post your dreams I'm delaying v2 by five days. [editline]10:16PM[/editline] This is totally not a procrastination strategy.

I always seem to be sort of kicked out of my own head once I realize I'm dreaming. There's a loud bassy grinding noise and everything distorts around me, and then I wake up.

HOW DO I REMEMBER DREAMS?[/QUOTE] This thread has become useless, and hopefully I'll give it some life. It's really easy to remember your dreams, but you have to follow my instructions exactly. Before you go to bed, you need to journal everything that has happened throughout the day. Not how you felt about it, but just what happened exactly, with as much detail as you possibly can. Then lay down to go to sleep, but say out loud "I will remember my dreams" three times, out loud. Then go to bed. Get 8-10 hours of sleep. When you wake up, DON'T GET UP. Lay in bed, trace your steps if you even have the slightest bit of dream in your brain. If you don't, lay there and let your mind wander. Observe your emotions and see if you can find a link to your dream. If you cant, get up, and try again the next night. You have to be rested, and have a consistent sleep cycle. If this requires napping, or anything along those lines, do it.

I hope you're seeing a pattern here because that question is answered in the OP [editline]02:03AM[/editline] So I don't see how this thread became useless that's a little drastic [editline]02:09AM[/editline] This is from tonight.. [quote=Dream Journal]I had a long nightmare. AJ was there. [sp]It started in a hospital. I was a patient, laying in a bed. Nurses popped in and out asking if I needed anything. I never did, so I usually sent them off. I couldn't move. The only thing I could move was my head to look around. I inspected the room. There was a TV in front of me hanging off the wall. There was a single window at the right side of me and the walls of the room were all white. On my left side was a door, and a one way see through window that I couldn't look through. I tried to look at my hand to find the ring or do a reality check but again, I couldn't move. Two nurses walked in. They lifted me up from the bed and onto a another bed, this one pushable. They pushed me through the hospital somewhere. Something started getting really weird. The walls started peeling as we passed by them. I didn't really find it weird though, so I didn't make a big deal of it. We entered into an operating room. Now I couldn't move my neck either. I could only move my eyes, as if I was in sleep paralysis. A doctor was there, he had his back to me. I felt really tense and something was wrong. The doctor turned around, it was 'AJ'. I was put under anesthetics and went into a sleep. I remember being in a hallway. Long. My leg was broken. My hands were all burned up. On the other end of the hallway was a door. I limped there. It took a while. Every once and a while I would stumble on the floor. About 75% of the way there blood started to drip on the floor. It smelled rancid. I vomitted on the floor. I was finally at the door way. I went to open it. I blinked, it was gone. It was a solid wall. I looked at it puzzled. Blood was higher than my feet now. I turned around. The door was on the other side. I sighed. I limped to the other side. I vomitted again on the way. I reached the door again, and it turned into a wall. I started to get frustrated. I turned around. The door was a lot closer. I limped again. At the door, I reached for it, and it turned into a wall. I turned around. The hallway got drastically smaller. I continued the pattern until the hallway became a box. My vomit was blood now. The ceiling collapsed and I was knocked out. I woke up on the floor. I was perfectly fine this time. I got up and checked my hands. I had a ring on it, I knew I was dreaming. I rubbed my hands together. I took a better look at the room I was in. It was the exact same room I was in earlier, with the bed. I saw my subconscious. She looked eerly depressed. I came to hug her and she denied it. "Why would you do that" she said to me. "Do what?" I asked her. She looked at me. "why would you hurt me" she said. "Why would you do that to yourself" she continued. "Do.. what?" I asked again. She got angry. "You don't even care to remember?" she said. "I thought you liked me.." she continued. I started to feel really bad. "I.. like you.." I said to her. She got even angrier. "Then why did you do it" she shouted. Her skin started to peel and decompose. I started to get hurt. She started crying. I started to trace facts and realized this wasn't my subconscious. I took a few steps back. She had the most diabolical smile on her. I lost feeling to my legs and dropped to my knees. I blacked out. I woke up on an operating table. I was strapped down and couldn't move. "He's awakening" the nurse said. A doctor came to me. It was AJ again. "How much anesthetics do we have left" he said. "Little" the nurse replied. He grinned. "Looks like you'll be awake for some of this" he said. I knew I was dreaming. I couldn't wake myself up. I felt a knife slice into my stomach and cut a hole. It hurt a lot. I tried to alter things around me to get myself free. It didn't work. The pain was so bad. I felt a bonesaw start chopping my leg. I passed out of pain. I woke in a room. My friends were there and we were watching TV. My wrist was itchy. I scratched it. My friends were talking about something. I didn't really care, I was just nodding pretending to agree. My wrist itched a lot. I scratched accordingly. I watched TV and continued scratching. After a while it started to hurt. I looked down. My wrist was cut up, I could see blood pouring out. But it still itched. I kept scratching. It hurt more and more but it felt good and relieved the itching. I started to see my veins, and kept scratching, cutting into them releasing so much blood. My friends caught eye on me and gave me water. They continued their business. I kept scratching. I couldn't feel anything anymore. I scratched into my nerves. Now the pain was so bad. I scratched faster. I reached my bone. The itch was gone and I sighed in relief. My friends were were freaking out. One of them punched me in the face because I wouldn't stop and I was knocked unconscious. I couldn't see anything. It was all black. "A being of pure evil.. sure" I heard AJ say. I regained vision. The room was dark. There was a single light looking over the floor. I saw my subconscious sitting there, in fetal position just sobbing. I walked over to her. The light turned off. I was blind again. The light came back on. AJ stood in the light. "I've found your achilles' heel" he said to me. I felt someone pull me back. I turned to look, it was my sub. I was a little skeptical at first if she was who I thought she was. I felt positive energy from her though, so trusted her. I felt some really strong force toss me back to AJ. It took her with me. We were on the floor, hurt. My back was killing me. She grasped onto me. I was scared. She buried her face in my chest. "I can't look at him" she said. "I'll look for the both of us then" I said to her. AJ walked to us. I shivered. I felt my back go into spasm. She tried to make me feel better and hugged me. AJ's eyes were glowing red in the darkness. It was like a demon. "You and her want to expel a part of you that is necessary to have." he said furious. "And this is a suggestion you take from a person you don't even know?" he yelled. "He could live without you" she said to him. I felt a blade go through the both of us. The pain was indescribable. I closed my eyes and imagined a pistol in my hand. She squeezed my other hand. I opened my eyes and it was there. I shot randomly. It hit him. I heard a groan and the lights turned on. He was gone. All I heard was my sub saying she was sorry constantly, kissing me trying to make me feel better. I looked down at the blade. Blood was pouring and dripping out of it. She got herself off of it and pulled me off. I put my hand on the hole that the blade left. I dropped to my knees. I still couldn't wake myself up. All the sound disappeared. My sub started talking to me but I couldn't hear her. Now I heard AJ speaking. "This is only a mere glimpse at the pain you caused me" he said. She looked alarmed. I dropped to the floor and laid there. She laid next on the puddle of blood I left. She held me. I closed my eyes. I woke up[/sp][/quote] Read at your own despair. I'd just like to say that this isn't what always happens in your lucid dreams or nightmares so please don't take this as an example. This is my own personal fight by the looks of it. It hurts me to re read that god..

I can only remember fragments off the top of my head but this was what I dreamt of last night: [QUOTE]The dream kept skipping from scenario to scenario, probably cause I can't remember most of the dreams. A common theme that I found was present was ambient blue light. I remember being in a dark room with someone who was freaking out about something that was emitting a bright blue light. I think I had something to do with but I can't remember what happened. Another skip happened, and I am in Pripyat from STALKER, except there was a sort of blue tint in the visuals of the city. I don't remember anything in particular that happened though. [/QUOTE] [editline]10:13PM[/editline] Sounds like AJ's jealous of your relationship with Zin there Jake.

Jake, im deadly tired and i htink reading that will freak me out, so gnite, and ill read it in the mornin'

[url]http://health.yahoo.net/articles/womens-health/8-things-you-didn%E2%80%99t-know-about-dreams[/url] [quote=Article]7. You can control your dreams. The premise of the new movie Inception is that people can take the reins of their dreams and make them what they want them to be. But it may not just be a Hollywood fantasy. According to the results of a new survey of 3,000 people, dream control, or “lucid dreaming” [b][u]may[/b][/u] be a real thing. In fact, 64.9 percent of participants reported being aware they were dreaming within a dream, and 34 percent said they can sometimes control what happens in their dreams. Taking charge of the content of your dreams isn’t a skill everyone has, but it can be developed, says Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, a dream researcher and visiting scholar at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkley, California. The technique is particularly useful for people who suffer from recurring nightmares, he says. Dr. Bulkeley suggests giving yourself a pep talk of sorts before you go to sleep by saying: “If I have that dream again, I’m going to try to remember that’s it’s only a dream, and be aware of that.” When you learn to be aware that you are dreaming—within a dream—you not only have the power to steer yourself away from the monster and into the arms of Brad Pitt, for instance, but you train your mind to avoid nightmares in the first place. “Lucid dreaming enhances your ability to learn from the dream state,” says Dr. Bulkeley.[/quote] That part made me rage. Not only that, but the fact that lucid dreaming is only popular because of Inception.

I love the movie but that also makes me rage.

Im sorry for ya zin. :gbsmith:

And Jake...I feel a little weird about that. I feel like I'm intruding on something I probably shouldn't be intruding on. It does make me wonder, though. Something I said clearly struck a nerve with AJ, and it did prove a couple more things to me. 1) AJ and your sub are still the same thing, just kind of...split. 2) I'm right, he's just concentrated evil thoughts and emotions. 3) They naturally repel each other. There are two things here, and I'm worried about one of them. One is that the things I'm telling you are actually INFLUENCING your dreams. That is, I'm not interpreting, I'm commanding. Like I tell you what's going on and then your brain is like OH THAT'S WHAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING? OKAY LOL. Two is...I think you should try just talking to AJ. Don't be super defensive, just be conversational. Try to imagine a coffee shop that you two are both in. Ellen won't be there, you don't want her to distract you. If you're naturally inclined to be a nice, kind person, as I suspect you are, you can do it by yourself. If he summons her and hurts her or whatever, remind yourself that this is what would happen for real if you gave in to whatever he said. He is an example of what you never want to be, and you've got a good enough sense of right and wrong to know that he's not right. Alternatively, keep telling yourself your light is stronger than his darkness. Ellen will start to be able to combat him. Just think about what's happening, most of it's up to you. You can do it, I believe in you.

You know what, fuck her. I saw boobs today, and she failed her first test of college. If she's going to be immature, then I'll let her. If she keeps this shit up, I'm removing her as a friend. I have a feeling that was meant as a message to me anyway.

[QUOTE=SteeleCratos;24745517]I would unfriend her just for that. Just saying.[/QUOTE] No, because I feel like if she ever gets over it and stops being an immature ass, we can still have a friendship.
