Lucid dreams / semi-nightmares ?

[Mighty]

btw is this the official thread of "dreams that you've dreamed last night?" 

Who cares its still an interesting and quite unusual topic here Always been curious about that stuff, never read about it tho.

I used to have lucid dreams quite often, but i remember only one dream i could fly in. I mean, wherever i wanted to. I was Neo (Matrix) :p

It's funny also, that I can sometimes plan a nightmare, while I'm still awake, and when I enter to sleep- I actually SEE it. Usually. Doesn't happen always, but happens still. Anyone else has the same?

Well after I see like a horror movie or I'm thinking about something horrible right before I go to sleep, I repeat those images stuck in my head related to those things until I get used to the idea, so I don't have any nightmares about it (cause in my case, nightmares are usually related to things that I forget about or I'm afraid about and I don't realize it)

Let me tell you, nothing is more awkward then having a wet dream about the girl who sits in front of you during class then waking up to her trying to ask you something.

Depend on your personality.. somebody isn't shy so it should not be a problem to ask her something...

One time, at band camp...

No, seriously, there was this one time where I was asleep on holidays, in my caravan, and a tree branch hit the roof, about a second before I heard it, I got smacked over the head in my dream, and shot up out of bed. Freaky.

I've read the link on the previous page and i noticed my dreams are a bit different.

They are a bit blurry, not have the feeling of reality as it is that I'm into them. It is more or less the difference between using 3D glasses and be in the movie. Does anyone know if this is normal? I mean, The colors are pulling in the beige and brown, and "vision" i have is when you just wake up.

But my dreams had a good head start. I hardly remember what I was hearing voices in the dreams. Today I dreamed about my father and he talked with his normal voice. It was about a stinky bathroom, with several people. There was no toilet paper! Dude, i ever remember a lady dressed in blue. Got the sensation of "Saw" movies

I think you're having normal dreams that are meant to be blurry, you know. Most of the normal dreams are actually some kind of browsing of your brain trough all kind of data stored in your memory, so you dream about all kind of random s**t.

I remember one time I dreamed about standing in my house with a couple of friends, I could control everything I did there, but the sound was like...when you turned the volume of the speakers (or volume in a program like fruity loops) so loud that you only hear a static noise and some clicks in the speakers, if you know what I'm sayin.

The weirdest dream I've had so far was watching a girl from my class stretch her pussay and step in it like it was jeans :S

By the way, have you ever tried to run in your dream? It used to be hard for me (it felt like running underwater), but a few months ago I started to run by making a few steps to gain speed, jumping and then flying one feet above the ground (legs still in position to run, but not moving). Feels weird, but somehow people around me don't notice it.

Yeah, i've been thinking about it lately and i came to conclusion that i don't have problems with running in my dreams, but... everytime i do so i find myself jumping so high that falling is deadly. Then i realise im actually dreaming and can decide whether i will keep falling coz i dont want to loose a dream or i will simply wake up.

Running in dreams usually has something to do with running away from danger, or chasing after something. In both cases many people probably had bad experiences where they didn't succeed, and those past experiences return to you in your dreams.
I too sometimes have dreams where I'm trying to run away from something, but instead I move like I'm underwater or can't move at all or just run in place. At other times I don't even remember moving at all. When nothing subconciously prevents me from moving - I don't even remember how I move, I just somehow transfer myself from point A to point B at the speed I want.

Sorry to bump this thread, but this is a topic that genuinely intrigues me. The first time I heard of lucid dreaming was in fact on soldat forums, several years ago. I had never experienced it (that I remember) prior to when I heard of it either.

The last two, or three years ago, though, I have often found myself in a dream where I realise that I am actually dreaming. I don't know what triggers it, but I'm guessing it would have something to do with the un-naturalness of what is happening in the dream. Messed up physics is usually a give away. In this state I am at some occasions able to control what happens in the dream, namely changing the scenery or location, spawn people (bitches ofc) and lastly choosing my own actions in the dream. Most of the time when I'm lucid, however, I am only able to be aware of and control my own actions. If the dream does not go in a satisfactory manner, so to speak, I wake myself up by shaking my head as fast as I can. When I do this I experience a painless, yet intense 'jolt' before I find myself lying in my bed, staring at the roof. I can usually slip into this awareness state again after having intentionally waked myself up. When I fall asleep again the dream either resets, picks up from where I left it, or changes completely.

Any of you have these semi-controlled dreams where you are fully aware that you are dreaming and you decide your own actions, yet you cannot do much to change the setting or the people in it?

On a side note, I am constantly amazed at my ability to go into detail of e.g. scenery when I am dreaming. I can spawn advanced structures, such as extremely complex types of truss work; I can make the leaves blow in the wind in a manner that is very convincing, in terms of physics; and I am able to predict water and wave motion, to name a few -All this in a heartbeat. Now, I know that these are all taken from my memory of what I have actually seen in the past, but if I were to conjur one of those shapes or motions while awake, I wouldn't even come close, simply because I wouldn't remember. This makes me wonder what the brain is actually capable of, and what could be achieved if we discovered how to consciously use more areas of it. Scientists say that we normally use only 10 % of our total brain capacity along with its different "areas". I fully agree with this statement, and I literally have lost sleep at nights, just thinking of the potential if we somehow discovered a way to wilfully access more 'remote' areas of our brain.

Sorry to go off topic in the end there.. Anyway, I'm glad I decided to check in on the old forums! Nice to see that a good few of the old lurkers are still around.

I think your brains makes up stuff while you're asleep too.

Like this one time, I had a dream, and my penis was a pickle swear to god it freaked me out but it was alright because when I woke up my condom was where it was suppose to be.

[Horve]

do you put a condom on before going to sleep?

[dnmr]

or he keeps condoms in a pickle jar
