The hallway became a maze, and every way I turned would stop in a dead end with the man standing there reaching out to me. I came to one hallway and the man managed to make his arm longer (hey... it was a dream..), grab me and pull me closer to him. He started laughing maniacly and I woke up in cold sweat....

........ it was creepy as hell....

It sounds like the old guy just wanted a hug. :p

sounds like you've been playing too much Halo :p

Yeah, but it didn't go 'beep, beep, beep, beeeeep!' :D

Facsimilie, that sounds like a very, very exciting dream. :p

Only once have I been able to do that thing, and not very well. I was boxing a giant praying mantis. It was trying to kill me, and I was boxing it with boxing gloves. Anyway I could just kind of control how I fought. It didn't help. The dream ended with me in its mandibles, my organs just on the verge of bursting. Not a wonderful experience.

Too bad, lucid dreaming is the best thing since, uh, bread, yes. I don't know why it happens, but on those rare occurances when I dream I always lucid dream, if that is a verb.
Mabye you people should sleep with flickering lights, you'll never dream normally again... :D

Ugh. Yeah, that's exactly what my sleep-deprived brain needs, some flickering lights and weird dreams while I sleep.

Sligster, your description of your old man nightmare, combined with the fact that I failed a test because I never learned how to utilize the law of sines and the law of cosines, lead to a dream in which this old guy was explaining to me how to do the problems on my math test. That was pretty hilarious. Too bad the dream ended before he could explain it. I would love to come to school and say that an old man in a dream had taught me how to solve those problems.

I had the coolest dream eva last night, and it wasn't a lucid one.
I can only really remeber specific bits, so bear with me.

OK, A bunch of people (who were the main focus of the dream, the view followed them) were stuck in a building which was mainly stairs except for a room at the top. It was inhabited by a weird corparation who all wore those weird 12th century wigs, or like those ones they wear in court in the England area. And for some reason the bunch of people were ushered to the car park, which was full of zombies. They managed to kill them all, and turned a corner to exit the carpark. Around the coner :eek: SUPER ZOMBIES! They were all purple for some reason. Everyone died except three people who were kept alive because the Corparation guys told the zombies not to eat them.

I do not remember anything except the end from there on in, except the last survivor got to a beach, then commited suicide becuase he was bitten by a zombie by jumping in the water. He sunk, but then after about 5 second, rose again as a zombie. (He looked disturbingly like Xavier... XD)

Very abstract, I just can't remeber most of it... It has now taken place as favourite dream. It wasn't a dream, but it wasn't a nightmare either, cause it was just cool! Sure as hell lightened up the rest of my day... :p

Normally when you're dreaming and you die you wake up before you hit the floor, bullet hits you or whatever context. I've heard that in rare cases if you don't wake up you can actually die...anyone clarify this?

Its totally a myth. I mean how could you test this scientifically? You can't exactly find out what the people were dreaming whilst there asleep and finding out afterwards would immediately invalidate the theory because if it were true they'd drop dead when you woke them.

If you have a weak heart, and you have a nightmare, could you die of a heart attack whilst dreaming?

Yeah, probably. I mean, I've woken up from a nightmare with my heart beating rapidly so I guess there's no reason why someone with a weak heart would not overload.

It would be hard to tell what caused it though.
