Surreal fucking night...

I also got punched, and when I woke up, there was a red mark on my chest were I got hit in my dream.

I once dreamed i was walking down some side walk, and some girl (don't even know anything about her and she had different characteristics each time) would call me from the other side of the road, and after that cross the street and i would do the same, and at the middle of the road either i or her would get suddenly hit by some great truck, yes, it's insane, more insane is it that after waking up if i was the one hit I'd feel weak, like with torn muscles, and as if my bones had been crushed to splinters.

I don't know about the feelings of extreme pain as you say.. probably some psychological effect.

About the red mark, your dream could easily be altered by an outside source. For example those scenes in the movies when you see a guy that dreams he's kissing with a hot chick but it's infact his dog (revealed after he wakes up mostly) - same thing. Are you sure you didn't get hit while you're sleeping? It could also be just because you were resting on one of your hands etc.

[demoniac93]

In my case it definitely wasn't an exterior factor, as i was sleeping alone, with my door locked, when i woke up my hands were as i left them (I sleep on my back, head straight up, hands on the sides, pointing outwards)...So i learned to believe that the mind CAN and WILL cause damage to the body, when it believes it's under the effect of being damaged...Meaning, illusion of pain causes injuries that would create the same kind of pain. Like those hypnotized people who are given the illusion of being burned, and burn marks appear on their bodies as a result.

There is a way to give yourself a much greater chance to "lucid dream."

Taken away link in case of whining by admin.

Basically, you need to realize you are in the dream.

   1. Buy a small notebook, set it close to your bed, and keep a pen close by.
   2. Before you go to bed each night, write what you want to dream about in the notebook. (Be sure to label somewhere at the top!) draw pictures, write and draw with lots of detail, remember even the smallest things are important. Don't watch something before you go to bed or you may dream about that!
   3. Read what you've written as many times as you need to get it in your head.
   4. Lie down, relax, and think hard about what you want to dream about. Think of details, they are important!
   5. Close your eyes and look at the images from your dream as they appear in your subconscious. If nothing appears, read your dream again.
   6. Think of it in the 1st person point of view. Imagine what it would seem like through your eyes.
   7. Think of dialogue and sounds in your dream until you are hearing them in your mind.
   8. Think hard, but maintain a calm posture. Do not get tense. Just relax.
   9. Go to sleep with these images and sounds in your head.
  10. When you wake up, whether you had the right dream or not, write what happened parallel or connected somehow to the dream that you wanted to have. Again, label!
  11. Compare the two dreams and think about the similarities and differences, write them down, or simply ponder over them.

    * Try to sleep in a quiet area with no distractions whatsoever.
    * Play music associated with your dream quietly.
    * Label everything!
    * Remember details as they are important.
    * Read your dream journal often.
    * Try having a symbol on your ceiling or near your bed that you can easily access. Stare at it for a few minutes before you go to sleep, and stare at it for a few minutes when you wake up. This can help you remember your dreams better/more often.
    * If this happens when you remember your dreams, you may lucid dream.

Too complicated process, and no guarantees of the results, I'll try it just for old times' sake...Bad times...

I have had 3 hours sleep since Monday night (at a lan party) and it's currently 4:30pm, and I hate sleepig during the day.  I dont know why, it just doesnt feel right, and I know my bodily clock might take a long time to get back on track if I do sleep for 5-8 hours now

I dunno, just some random input :p

Joining the Army did stuff like this to me I have woken up many times during the night thinking I should be getting dressed for my guard duty or remembering getting smoked in formation a few days ago but it was actually a dream. At least its like that in basic, your life is so consumed with military it enters your dreams and reality and fiction tend to mess sometimes. Especially when you get woken up in the middle of the night by a sergeant....

I got shot in a dream once, it was weird.

[Sir Jeremy]

I..rescued a chick in my dream once from a dragon, and the next night I dreamed part 2.  It felt so real..

Tell me about it..
In 'basic' I was having dreams about my officers waking us up, and eventually those dreams were interrupted by the officers waking us up.
Talk about de-ja vu.

There's nothing I hate more than dreaming. All of the ones I have are so grim. They usually consist of people in my family dying, having to go to their funerals, sell their stuff, getting banned from forums, kicked out of school, shitting my pants at school, getting beaten up, dying, being caught by the government for pirating dvd's then dragged to an underground base where obama was waiting for me with a carpet beater (just like in fecking casino royale, it was soo real).

Maybe this is why I deliberately sleep less and less each night. From what I've heard, people who don't sleep enough die younger, but whatever.

getting banned from forums

LOLWAT

I have no problem with it. I don't remember my dreams, so I couldn't care less.

I find that the less sleep I get, the more coherent my dreams are.

My dreams aren't this trippy, but I can honestly say I've had some weird ones.  Some cause me to bolt upright in bed, but those are pretty rare.  Shoot, I'm an avid dreamer though.

[Thinkto urself]

I've also found that if I wanna dream about hentai I end up dreaming about me being some bird flying around at night .

I don't want to talk about dreams. For some reason, after watching "The Haunting of Conneticut", I had nightmares of fucked up soul/dead bodies for two days straight.

You see their eyelid cutted off, and body written with a scalp, and they float. It is creepy as FUCK.

I would love to have a dream that has my dog and grassland tonight, or I swear, I WILL probably get fucked up -_-

I hate happy dreams, dreams are only interesting if random shit happens and everyone acts like it's normal. Those are days I wake up refreshed.

Those are days I wake up panting hard as if I just had a heart burn.

Seriously, all the dreams had war/violence and monster/zombie/ghost for two weeks. I don't know how you like it, but it actually is driving me nuts now. Especially after watching a creepy movie.

[Thinkto urself]

Lucky, all my dreams have been about playing videogames and that's obviously no fun >.>

[tehsnipah]

Now those I understand ~_~

I wish I had an ordinary dream for a night... I'm right now playing games to keep myself awake, so I don't have the nightmare again.

I may sound pathetic, but seriously... I'm scared of dreaming nightmares again -_-
