The Dreams Thread

You do dream. Everyone does. You just don't remember it. It probably just means that your sleep cycles are such that you don't wake up in the middle of a dreaming phase, but wake up during a time when no imagery is processing.

One time when I was into lucid dreaming, I tried to WILD right as I first fell asleep at night, even though everyone said it wouldn't work. (Because the first phase of sleep, which lasts about 90 minutes, is dreamless). I'm pretty sure I fell asleep, because I felt the vibrations and had the typical falling sensation, but for a long time I was just conscious in a black void. IDR exactly, but after a while, I think I gave up and just drifted out of consciousness.

When we sleep, the part of our brain responsible for long-term memory goes inactive, and it takes a while for it to reactivate when we wake up, short term is still working though. That's why so many people are mentioning that they have awesome dreams, but then forget them shortly after waking up. You have to make a conscious effort to hold them in the forefront of your consciousness, or write them down, if you expect to have any kind of dream recall.
 
I found myself knocked down by a large vibration in the middle of a field. I tried to get up but another one knocked me down. I got the distinct feeling I was unwanted in one direction behind me, so I rolled and later when I could I walked away from it. I came to a large industrial building with large liquid holding tanks, people are milling around it, I wave to a truck passing a checkpoint of some sort, I come to a house that isn't mine. I get the impression that it's dangerous to wander too far from the fortified factory/plant thing. I am about to knock on the door when a pleasant, kind of chubby woman in her late 30's to early 40's opens the door. She has tawny hair and is wearing a black dress. She offers me food for firewood. I agree.

Before I can do any work though I take the tour of the house and learn she lives with her elderly mother. Her mother is senile sometimes and forgets "the way things are now." I tell the woman I am looking for something, my brother? The woman offers to help. She seems nice. I step outside to do work. It's cold, but the sun is shining. I hear a squeaky door flapping in the distance. there is no breeze. I raise the axe and creep around the corner of the house, the noise is coming from the house next door, on this home's right. I creep forward, it's got a high hedge and a low slung roof. The walls are powder blue the roof is dark grey. I can't see what's making the noise over the hedge but I hear the noise again and I feel compelled to check. Turns out it's a post-zombie apocalypse world. A tall, heavily wounded and partially decayed man in a blood stained blue work shirt is striking a door that for some reason (maybe the hinges are made to do this) keeps closing itself.

I tell the owner of the house. She is instantly terrified, she tells me to follow her, she runs out of the house. I hear a slam at the back of the house, more have shown up, maybe I was seen or smelt, maybe they were wandering this way anyways, but the one playing with the door was not alone. It comes to the back door, I try to shimmy up to it without being seen, I'm seen. The window isn't real glass, I lock the door. It tries the door knob. I run up to another door, all wood in white and check that it's locked. It's locked. The home owner must have locked it. I scan the home's interior, the backyard entrance to the home is a large glass sliding door. I scan for weapons and see a fire place poker, a pair of heavy bolt cutters and the axe.

The backyard is still clear. I know that glass door is not secure. I begin to contemplate what to do. I am tempted to bolt out the backyard to go get help at the factory. I think of the old woman and of my would-be employer. I know I only have so long to choose. My head is swirling, they are at the large wooden door now, pounding on it. I didn't hear any screams, the owner of the house could be clear now. I have no guarantee, I should go get help myself. But if the old woman is killed the home owner, even the community could turn on me for abandoning her. Would they understand if I was going for help. Will the old woman sit still? How long until they reach that sliding door? Is help actually coming? Could the home owner be dead? They are still pounding. I think I hear my heart in my ears.

The old woman wanders out of her room, her feet are shuffling. She tells me there's someone at the door, I tell her it's dangerous to open it, she doesn't seem to hear me or care. She moves to the door. I warn her that there's zombies out there, she waves her hand, and laughingly says "nonsense." shuffling forward and reaching for the knob. I grab her to stop her. Suddenly she realizes that I am a stranger. She begins screaming and fighting me. The pounding on the door and walls intensifies. I force the old woman into her room, I begin to worry that she's going to have a heart attack or something. I throw her into her room then turn a book shelf in the hall over to both trap her inside and barricade the door. Books spill everywhere, nick knacks clatter, the old woman is screaming for help at the top of her lungs. "I'll barricade her in here and go run for help" I mutter to myself. I hear a loud crash behind me, --is it the sliding door?! I turn. As I turn the dream ends, I wake up.
 
Ive had a strange dream here goes....

I was in my room of a previous house we had and my brother was in there playing some kind of video game and there was like MvC2 music in there anyways I saw my Dad and I started to wrestle with him. I gave him a headlock and I saw his whole head was extrememly red and looked like it was ready to burst! Then the scenery changed.

I was walking down a side walk at night and there were three houses. There was a black house, a white house, and I didnt know what the 3rd house looked like but I knew it was there. Anyways I walk up to the black house and all around are dead flowers and the sky looked really menacing. It was night but somehow it seems very...very gloomy around that house. There was a metal fence and all I could here was loud rap music BLASTING from inside. There was a window and I looked through it and saw a severely messy room. The whole room was very, very gloomy as well. Anyways I see the door open and I see a white girl about 14-15 and even though I didnt talk to her I could tell she was a lesbian. She was abit chubby , had dark brown shoulder length hair, and was dressed with a black t-shirt and blue jeans with black shoes. There was a symbol on her shirt and I think it's from some kind of band. Anyways I leave that house and go to next house, the white one. When I looked at this one there were flowers everywhere and the sky looked gorgeous the stars were shining and I could see the moon oh it was beautiful. Also there was grass. The black house's yard was completely dead. Anyways, I look throught the window of this one and I see inside; Inside was a clean room with some sort of pop that was very upbeat. I see a black girl walk in and she a white dress on with no shoes and her her was in braids but tied up. She starts dancing and singing and as I watch her do that I start smiling to myself and suddenly she notices me there and starts smiling and waves me to come inside. I simply smile sheepishly and shake my head. I leave and I'm about to go to the next house when the scenery changes once again.

This time I'm in my family's van except it's painted green and new looking. Everyone inside the van is really excited about something but I suppose it had to do with the soccor game next to us that was going on. Oh yeah I was in a park. and there were alot of people there as well. Anyways while everyone is smiling and laughing and having a hoot of a time, I'm the only who seems to be troubled by something. I get of the van and look back and my family hasnt got off and the look foward and there is a green playground . I run to the playground and run straight to the slide. I stand in front of the slide and three teen guys looking around...16-17 slide down in a row holding their knees and resting their chins on them. Here's where things start to get uncomfortable and abit creepy. The guys were uh..naked, and really sad looking. They didnt talk they didnt smile they didnt even acknowledge my presence. The first thought that popped in my head when I looked at them was "slaves". Anyways I get up on the playground because I wanted to get on the slide too and all of a sudden I hear a man's voice. He starts barking some sort of order and suddenly Im in front of the slide and the three guys are trying to push me down, I nearly slip then those three guys push me off except of me sliding down I grab on to the edge and attempt to climb my way back up, but the guys come sliding down , the first tries to make me fall and I avoid it. The 2nd tries and I dodge it, the 3rd however nearly made me fall. But I managed to climb back up and when I did I realized I was nude. ( EW.)

Edit:

So after I realized I was nude I ran off and ran across what seemed to be a soccor field. Uh lol the home team was winning btw. Irrevelant, anyways, I ran up to this van and hid behind it because I was afraid my dad would have seen what happened, as I sat there...stark naked on the hard gravel I heard two women in the car...I looked up inside the window and suddenly I was dressed again. Inside the van were two women who looked like they were in they're 40's. Anyways the open the backseat slidy door and they tell me to get in. I get in and I sit down. One of them was blonde, chubby, and had a teal lawyer looking two piece suit. The 2nd was less chubby, brunette, and was wearing a red suit. They told me there were therapists and the for some reason the teal lady was telling me very dirty things. It gave me the creeps so I got outta there.

Suddenly I was back in my old room and there was still that MvC2 music playing and there was still a mess and my brother was STILL playing...anyways I look down and I see a female and male rabbit. The male was chasing the female but something was wrong with the male bunny. It seemed like he was poisoned...he kept up ...then randomly fell and lay there breathing heavily and the female just stood there waiting for him to get up. This happened about 2 times and then the scenary changed again.

I was back on the sidewalk and I could see my sister going to the black house and I ran after as soon as I caught up to her I could see her talking to the lesbian, and from what I could tell, the lesbian was flirting with my sister >:U. I angrily walked up to her and told her to get away from my sister and pulled my sister away, the lesbian said "C'mon, join me..be with me", and I shouted at her "NO!!!" and when I looked back my sister was running toward our house. As I ran after her I looked down at my shadow and I saw the outline of my shadow was of SC2 Sophitia. ( I had been playing SC2 quite alot then) As I caught up to her I told her to stay away from that girl and never to speak to her again and if she tried anything I would destroy her. My sister replied how would I protect her? She said the lesbian was very strong.I randomly pulled out a scythe with stained glass on the blade and told her" This is what I'll protect you with, and if she tries to get near you, I'll kill her!" My sister simply nodded and smiled then hugged me and ran inside the house.

Then the Scenary changed again and this time I was standing in the middle of the room and I woke up.

I know it was long sorry! Thanks for reading though :)

Those are two good ones, though a bit creepy. :P Ghengis's sounds like a video game, haha.

I have zombie apocalypse dreams all the time too. I've noticed a lot of people do in this country. A couple people I've talked to from England seem to often have nightmares about Daleks for some reason instead, haha.
 
Had a dream where I was shopping with a thug part of a clan. We were chillin' making ourselves look cool, until some random guy said "kill this nigga! He enemy of us!" I saw the guy my clan had to killed and was scared. He was big and he kept tossing my allies all over the place. I slowly crept closer and suddenly I grew wings and started to shoot lasers like a madman at him out of fear. Then, I woke up.


Glad that dream ended. It was......weird.

How do you lucid dream?
Click to expand...
Oh man, now you opened the can of worms. :D

Lucid dreaming, if you didn't know, is just being aware that you're in a dream, while you're dreaming. It's one of the most amazing feelings in the world in my opinion.

You asked how you do it, well, there are several different methods, and a pharmacy full of things that can boost your chances of having one, or help you stay in one when you have it. (Most aren't harmful or addictive. The only one I can think of that is is the malaria drug, and maybe nicotine patches).

Anyway, there are 2 main types of LD. The first, and probably the easiest, is called DILD, which stands for Dream-induced-lucid-dream. That's where you become aware you're dreaming while you're in a dream. It relies a little on luck, and a little on preparations you do in waking life, such as questioning whether what's going on is reality, or if it might be a dream. These "reality checks" can be done all kinds of ways. Some people try to stick their index finger through the palm of the other hand. Or, you can just look at your hands. (Often in dreams, they'll look strange, too many fingers, or something). Looking at a clock is another way. (Clocks are often strange in dreams too, and if you look at the time twice, you'll often get different readings). There are others too, and if you question reality enough IRL, you're very likely to do it in a dream, and then if the reality check fails, you know you're dreaming, and there you are, you're lucid.

The second, harder way, is called WILD, for wake-induced-lucid-dream. This requires some discipline. You basically lay in bed and try to keep your mind aware as you fall asleep. You'll go through a "transition," and often will see or hear various imageries, (see below), and then you'll be in some kind of dream-scape. (For many people, it's the room they're sleeping in). If you've managed to hold on to consciousness, you'll be lucid. This has to be done late in the sleep cycle, such as the early morning, since you don't dream when you first fall asleep. It helps to do what's called a wake-back-to-bed, WBTB, where you wake up after sleeping for 5 or 6 hours, then stay up for an hour (at most), doing mild mental gymnastics, like reading, or math problems, or thinking about and visualizing what you want to do in your dream, and then go back to sleep. Your chance of lucid dreaming goes up considerably wth this technique.

A warning about WILDs: The process of falling asleep is unlike anything in waking life. For some people (Like me, luckily :D) it's exhilarating, sort of like going down the first drop on a rollercoaster, but much more intense, and the feeling fills your whole body. For other people, it's horrific, and they feel like they can't breathe, or they see demons sitting on their chest, or old hags in their room. Of course, none of it is real, and these things happen every time you go to sleep, it's just that you're normally unconscious and don't experience it.

Like I said, there are various drugs, like Galantamine, Choline, DHEA, certain amino acids, and others that can help your brain be more aware as you fall asleep, or after you already are. Nicotine patches are amazing, not for helping you get lucid, but for helping you remain in the dream once you become lucid (many people have a problem with waking up upon getting so excited to realize they're dreaming).

I could talk for days about all the stuff I've learned about LDs. Like how to remain in the dream without nicotine, how to change your location, techniques for flying, or passing through walls, space travel, etc. I have a dream journal over at MortalMist.com, and another at Dreamviews.com that you could peruse if you like, or maybe I'll post one of the more memorable lucids here.

I should really get back into it. I miss it.
 
I've had some weird dreams lately. There was one where I was in a mafia game. It wasn't the one where you sit in a circle. In this you had to physically capture the mafia members. I was able to use a freeze ray. I was town-affiliated in the dream and caught a few mafia.

There's also another dream where I did drugs. I tried driving in a parking lot but I didn't do very well. A girl also yelled a weight related insult at me and I said some... not so kind things in return.
 
Just had a fuck up dream.

Dumbledoor and Snape were becoming malfested and were fucking shit up

-no memory of this incident but I was some dude for a significant amount of time-

Then I become Wilfred from Wilfred (a guy in a dog suit which seemed normal in the dream) Dumbledoor and Snape threatened to kill me in 4 days so I was started to run then my gums started falling out and bleeding everywhere I was spitting them out in first person and apparently this was brought on by meeting a girl that's cleavage was too great (ffs I didn't even see her its implied that Wilfred met her when I was the other dude) but I still had my teeth for some reason so I was running around a mall for some reason asking loads of people where the dentist was then I got pissed because Americans call them ordanthapedrises or something, then I found Darth Vader casually strolling by and said surely you of all people must know where a dentist is.

Then I found the guy I was earlier and told him Dumbledoor and Snape were going to kill me and he was like "I believe you" So I sat in this weird trolley while he dragged me along to the music of Bonnie Tyler when we got to our destination the phone rang irl and I woke up.
 
I had a dream that we were in this run-down looking clininc and it looked like it was in a war zone, there were about 4 people that I saw, including myself. We were running down a hall while something or someone was shooting missiles and bullets at us. Next to me was a girl, I didnt see her face or even see a obvious clue it was a girl but all I knew it was a girl, anyways so I see a door in front of me ( I'll post a pic of the door in a spoiler) and the Girl says, " Go through there and hurry!", I ask her about the boy and girl behind us and she says, " They will never go in because they aren't saved." I look back and all I see is the girl getting blown up by some bomb and and the boy getting shot down, I look foward and I see the girl exit and she says to close the door on my way out, I ran out but didnt close the door because I thought there was no time left. Then I woke up.

The hallway looked EXACTLY like this:

This is very close to what the doors looked like in my dream:

I had an amazing dream before I woke up. I'm kinda hazy yet happy but here goes. First I dreamt of the 5th episode on Kampfer. The one where they did the beauty contest(If you don't know what's up, watch this anime Kampfer on the 5th episode).


Then my mind went blank. Next thing I knew, I was dreaming about big dudes fighting. A sumo guy saying "desukoi" and going against some arrogant big bald white meathead guy. Then it shifted to a black lady fighting some latino female in some intense MMA. The black lady lost and threw up.

Last part in spoilers. NSFW version, but edited a bit.
Then it shifted one last time. This is the part where I felt really good and the one I wished could of enjoyed more. I felt like I was in some movie. I was in some room wandering about. The room was a simple yet nice hotel. Nice King sized mattress that had tea green sheets. A wooden table with tea green sheets. Suddenly a girl who looks like Kristen Bell appears before me.

She looks like this
Kristen-Bell-Layers-fb-30294299-17722278.jpg


She asked me to have sex with her. I declined and made up excuses. She kept nagging with stuff like, "I know you wanna do it". Eventually I became curious, gave in to her requests, and said something like, "Let me see if my little buddy gets excited". Sure enough, she lies on the mattress and so did I. My body was top of hers. I felt how petite yet soft her skin was. I focused my mind to my little buddy down there. My little buddy between the legs got excited and I said, "Yeah, it looks like I got time for this." She says nothing.


I took off my blue shirt and navy blue gym shorts, she took off her white tank top and short black gym shorts and we have sex. As I start the sex, I slowly put my thingy inside her. It felt warm. She moaned quietly. Then we got it on. I watched her face of pleasure as she moaned quietly. Suddenly, my uncle came in said "we gotta go". The funny thing was he immediately said, "Take 2o minutes and hurry up". Then he left.

Then we climaxed and I awakened. For a split second or so, it felt so real. However, I was like this =/ realizing it was just a dream.

Still though, I'm happy that in this dream, I enjoyed having sex with a Kristen Bell look alike. I couldn't believe it when I woke up, went to the fridge to ate some fries, went on my PC to look up Kristen Bell. One of the best dreams I've ever had in a long time.

Thank you for reading this weird dream I wanted share. It was amazing despite it making me kinda embarrassed...
 
That really is amazing. My very first goal when I started lucid dreaming was to get it on with Jessica Alba. I never got her, but I did get some very nice replacements. I know what you mean about the realism. Sometimes dreams feel even more real than waking life. And I suppose they actually are in our mind. And since the mind is how we perceive reality, these experiences are just as real, to us, as any other. That's why I love dreaming so much.

I wasn't going to share my sexy dreams, but since you made me think of it, and because it has some Tekken stuff in it, I'll share this one awesome lucid. (As everyone knows, lucid parts of dreams are written in blue in your dream journal. Don't trust those people who write them in red. Red is for nightmares, obviously.) :P
 
Lucid dreaming, I doubt with all the crazy stuff happening in my dreams that I will notice that a watch isn't working correctly, as opposed to arguing with a guy that looks like Miguel from Tekken because he keeps fucking with my grenade.

Think the only time I've lucid dreamed is when I was randomly derping in a dream and then suddenly a plane crash (plane crashes seem to be a recurring theme for me) so I was like "Hang on a minute..." As the plane was going down I could see the city coming closer towards me from the missing tail of the plane but I just shouted "THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!" then we hit the floor, fade to black. Then I woke up sweating, almost choking on saliva.
