:lol:

I dreamt today that I was a hooker in LA and had a racecar that I could only ride on my stomach. And something about camping.

Random...

I've had a dream many of you have probably had.

I'm almost completely asleep, and then I run my bike off a cliff and jolt awake, bashing my head on the wall.
Darn those falling dreams... darn them to heck.

Oh! Oh! I've had the same thing happen to me! You're falling asleep, when suddenly, while still half-conscious, you get some sort of image in your head of you falling down something. When it happens to me, it's always my stairs, and it makes me jolt up out of bed, waking me up. I hate it so much, since it makes it even harder for me to fall asleep than it already is.

Sort of similar: I once had a dream that I was fighting with my sister and I kicked her, only to be woken up by my foot making contact with the wall beside my bed.

Hurt for a week!

I've been playing too much Final Fantasy X-2. I dunno why, but i'm obssessed with maxing out all the classes and then owning the final boss.

Anyways, on to my bizarre dream.

I dreamnt that I went to Circuit City and they had this brand new console thingy that let you talk to the characters in a game as if they were real. The example game used was FF X-2, and I fell in love with Yuna, or whatever, and I kept running back and forth between the screens or whatever talking to her, and we got all emotional, and I woke up crying.

I gotta lay off the sugar before going to bed....

Man isn't it odd how dreams can impact you in real life?

I've had dreams before about people I knew, and certain situations in the dreams actually made me see the certain person differently in real life. I just find it really weird that a fictional event could influence things in real events.

At our school there is this kid that acts like sex is discusting, any way I had a dream that he was a hooker. Ever since i've always thought differnetly about him.

The other day I fell asleep on the couch, and I had this weird lucid dream (a dream where you know you're dreaming), and I was trying to wake up, but I kept waking up into another dream, even stranger than the previous one. After waking up into fifteen dreams, I finally woke for real. There was a point when I tried to fly by running down the hall in my house and jumping, but I fell face-first.

Yeeaah, that happens to me sometimes...dreams within dreams...hmm...

Fortunately, I know a foolproof way to wake up from a dream you don't want to see, like a nightmare or something. I know this sounds really weird but...just open your eyes. I don't know how to describe it. Even though in your dream, your eyes are open, just try to close them and force them open, I guess. It's weird. I dunno.


I've never had one of those falling dreams though. That's weird, because everyone I know has had one at some point in their lives. I haven't, and to be truthful, I don't want to, because from what I hear, it's highly unpleasant...

Unfortunately, I've tried that, and it hasn't worked in the past. Plus, most of the time, I don't know that I am actually in a dream, so that never really occurs to me :p.

Has anyone ever had trouble actually seeing in their dreams? In some of mine, I go blind in the middle of 'em or my vision blurs. It's weird.

I go sorta blind in my dreams at times.
I just had this freaky dream where I was in this weird castle place, and there was this baby tiger, and all these gorillas, it was really weird.

I can fly in my dreams. It's hard, but it's awesome.
Real life sucks.

Oh and I love the fact that I have so little confidence in myself that my dreams usually focus on my weaknesses. How sad is it if you can't even get girls in your dreams?

Sometimes I make my dreams, so I make the events myself, it's great! :)

According to some strange and suspect things I've read, lucidity in dreams and choosing what they are about are just one step away from astral projection, or an OBE.

Off-Topic: I've been trying to Lucid Dream. But I can't. I have no control over whether I'm Lucid Dreaming or not. Does anyone have any techniques to help?

On-Topic: I had a very weird dream. I dreamt that I was Superman's Guardian Angel but it turned out he didn't need me and I was allowed to go to become a normal kid again. It was funny though.

Most of my dreams are lucid strangely. Like, in the middle of one, I'll say to myself something like, "This dream is weird" or "I don't wanna see this, this sucks."
However, I really don't see how you could have any control over whether your dream is lucid or not.
I don't choose what they are about though....I just choose whether I want to see them or not.

And I don't know what astral projection is...

Sometimes I can fly in dreams, it's great. And when I wake up, I try to fly, but can't, it's not fair! >.<

It's moving your conscious mind out of your body, an out-of-body experience.

That sounds like that pagan spiritual crap, though...May this only be my opinion, but I don't see at all how it's connected to lucid dreams. Dreams occur within one's own mind, and all people are different, therefore some have control over their mind when it's in the subconscious and some don't.

*tries her best to ignore that comment*
That's because it isn't. According to Wikipedia, Lucid dreaming is the conscious perception of one's state while dreaming, resulting in a much clearer experience and sometimes enabling direct control over the content of the dream. The complete experience from start to finish is called a lucid dream. Stephen LaBerge, a popular author and experimenter on the subject, has defined it as "dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming."

As for OBE's, astral projection (or astral travel) is an interpretation of out-of-body experiences (OBEs) achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming, deep meditation, or use of psychotropics. Proponents of astral projection maintain that their consciousness or soul has transferred into an astral body (or "double"), which moves in tandem with the physical body in a parallel world known as the astral plane.

The concept of Astral projection has been around for thousands of years, dating back to ancient China. It is currently often associated with the New Age movement.

There are two general schools of thought on the nature of astral projection; these can broadly be defined as the mystical model and the phasing model.

Astral projection is also known as "Soul Travel", which is one of the main practices of Eckankar, Religion of the Light and Sound of God.

I dreamt I was late for work. And then I was late for work.

As I said before in my sickness thread, I dreamt about me lying in bed, sick.
But today (Because everyone sleeps twice a day when they're sick) I had a dream about LOTR, with different rings that do different things, and the journey to Mount Doom only taking a couple minutes, and Mount Doom being a one-story one-room building. Wierd.

K then? Oh, about this: Yeah i do. It's really frustrating for me because when something's good happening in my dream(s), the bottom half of my site goes all blurry like tv static. So i have to do something weird like strain my pupil to see over the top half thingy... Weird...?

Yeah i can somehow do that aswell. I can't describe it, but you just sorta try open your eyes really wide and stuff.

[/post] lol ^.^

Something similar happens to me. My left eye just goes blank at one point, and I have to just keep rubbing my eyes until they go back to normal. Plus, it always seems to happen during a good part of the dream.

I often have totally bizzarre, surreal dreams that I only get once. The only dream I can think of now is a recurring one I had on and off for about 2 years, roughly 5 or 6 years ago. I'd get it one day then never again for 3 months, or sometimes I;d get it 3, 4 nights in a row. I'd be dreaming me and my parents were driving along a coastal road in a greyish blue jeep, totally deserted and quiet, not another car in sight. The sea on one side, with the tide fully out, grassy sand dunes on the other side. Suddenly this tremendous wave of ater would appear on thehorizon behind us, and gain on us closer and closer (Yet it didn't go over the duens or the beach, just on the road, oddly enough). Just as the killer wave was right behind us, I' wake up. God knows why I had this dream, but it's odd, I have never even been remotely scared of the water/sea yet had this dream.
