Dreaming

How many of you remember your dreams and how real do they feel to you while you are asleep?

I usually do not remember my dreams but when I do, I remember them being very real. Like a falling dream, lots of people have them and I think we can all agree that when you have a falling dream it feels very real, then you wake up just as you hit the ground lol (well thats my experience at least)

I remember just about every dream I have. Some of them don't feel very real, while others feel so real, I am an emotional wreck when I wake up.

Example. One dream that didn't feel very real. I was walking around and a tornado hit (I'm deathly afraid of tornados!) Suddenly I realized this was a dream and convinced myself to wake up. If you've ever stood in your dream and have tried willing yourself awake, its actually very hard.

One that really freaked me out. In my dream I was pregnant and I went into labor and while I didn't feel the pain of childbirth in my dream, I felt all the emotions. When I woke up I still had all those emotions and actually wondered where my baby was when I woke up. It really freaked me out and I immediately called my husband (fiance at the time). It took me nearly all day to stop feeling motherly. I've never been pregnant but hope to start trying this year.

Weird stuff, dreams.

I only seem to remember the super cool ones where I'm fighting zombies and stuff;)

I rarely have dreams that I remember. When I do they're random but pretty lucid and I often forget as soon as I wake up.

I've had a few scary ones that I will never forget that felt so real I woke up in a blazing sweat breathing all heavy and what not.

I had this one dream when I was younger (somewhere around 11 or 12) and I was running through the jungle. I'm running along this mountain path that has a drop on the right side of the path and the mountain side to the left. I come to a bridge that has fallen down and I have two options, I can stop and the monster behind me will eat me, or I can jump and try to make it across. I wake up.

YEARS later, I pick up right where I left off. I jump and keep running. I wasn't thinking about that dream at any point in time before having the second part.

that happens to me a lot, makes me wonder... :confused::rolleye2:

I sometimes remember my dreams when I wake but quickly forget. Best way to remember them is write them down asap.

I vaguely remember a dream I had where I was dreaming inside my dream which was very cool, I wish I could remember the details. Some dreams are so real.

So lets here some more!

I've had a few dreams that have been amazingly vivid and real. Some of the details on them are fuzzy in my memory years later, but the realness of them is still there to this day.

When I was in College, I had a friend named John who was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down from a gymnastics accident when he was younger. One night I dreamed about him.... I dreamed I was at the McDonalds where we often hung out (there weren't a lot of choices) and I saw him walk in. I was astonished and ran up to him and hugged him and said what a miracle it was. It felt extremely real...but I "woke up" and found myself not at McD's, but in one of our classes...and he walked in. Again, I jumped up and ran to him, this time exclaiming about this really weird dream I'd had showing him healed and there he was, all healed! I "woke up" again to another scenario just like the first two and it repeated all over again. And then I finally woke up...I was laying in bed in my own room, staring at the ceiling and thinking how crazy-weird that all was....extremely vivid and emotional. Then there was a knock on the apt door...I got up and went to answer the door...and John was standing there! Needless to say, I was in utter shock and didn't even know what to say to him by that point. Lots of crying and hugging involved. ...And then I woke up for real.

So far as I know, John's still in his wheel chair...he's from Zimbabwe, so we haven't been in touch for about 20 years. That was my most memorable and one of my most vivid dreams ever.

I also have a recurring theme dream....where I'm in a new house that we just moved into...or, I'm in the house that we currently live in...and I find a secret door that I'd never noticed before and it leads to whole new sections of the house that I never knew existed....big, grand rooms and fancy kitchens and beautiful furniture. Every single time this happens, I say to myself in the dream.... "Here we go again...it's one of those dreams. I have to be dreaming, right? Stuff like this never happens in real life." But it all becomes so vivid and detailed that I convince myself that I'm really not dreaming this time.... And then I wake up....

I'm weird...I know... :oops:

Very interesting, some dreams you can never let go. The most bazaar dream that ever happened to me was when I was about 11 or 12 years old. I use to like to go fishing in the local park pond and I had this dream of a girl I've never saw before ask me if I had a spare hook when I walked past her getting ready to go home. I stopped and opened my tackle box and gave her a hook. She then said to me thanks you're a lifesaver and I went on my way.
About a week later things happened exactly as in my dream!!! I didn't even realize what just happened till I left the park and suddenly remembered. I'll never forget this....

Unfortunately, I almost never dream, and when I do I don't remember it for more than 15 minutes.

BUT, I had recurring dreams as a kid that I remember. This one falling dream where I would try to jump from this really high wall to another really high wall and I would never make it. There seemed to be lower gravity in that dream, but by the time I reached the ground I was going plenty fast. Every time I hit the ground I would feel it, then poof back up to the top to try again instead of waking up. I had a lot of falling dreams as a kid... I'm deathly afraid of cliffs now...

I had another dream that I was in the Mario Kart 64 battle level that looked like a Lego fortress (I know you guys know what I'm talking about :P). But anyway I would be chased by these robo cops with laser guns and they would catch me over and over and shoot me. And it HURT! Dreams definitely feel real... until you snap out of it.

Some people are able to control their dreams, I wish I could train myself but usually when I'm in a dream it becomes my reality.

Oh! I just remembered another one!

I was in a small car accident last summer (Busted up my bumper, air bags went off. Going maybe 25-30mph. Hit the car in front of me after they hit the car in front of them.)

A few months later I had a dream that I was driving my car out of the hospital parking lot after seeing my mom who works there. The car in front of me suddenly stops for no reason and I slam into the back of them and hit the steering wheel with my face. I felt the impact and I felt the pain. It hurt! Then I looked in the rear view mirror to see the damage. My bottom jaw bone had cracked in half and I was able to move either side of the jaw bone independently (think of a snake's jaw) and I felt the bones grind together. I woke up and my jaw was still aching.

Yea, that's called Lucid dreaming. There's ways to improve your chances of doing it, don't remember any other than it happens mostly in the few minutes before you would wake up normally. Usually the act of realizing it's a dream just snaps you out rather than say... letting you fly away into space

A scary dream I had when I was in my teens is I woke up and someone was standing over me and plunged a large knife into my chest I felt it and then woke up for real.

I still dream about being in school and having no idea what I am doing!! Cant find my classes ,cant find my locker, dont have my homework.... YUCK!! I will probably have that dream again tonight! I also used to have some pretty scary dreams when I was a kid, does anyone remember those creepy zombie like things that were in the original Beast Master movie?? Those things were after me all the time!!

embarassing:
when i was youner, every time i dreamt of monkeys i wet the bed.. LOL
seriously tho i was young ><; i just remember bc it was coincidental!

i was getting chased by monkeys, i ran to my moms bathroom and locked the door and jumped up and stayed ninja style on the roof of the shower (i guess), the monkeys broke down the door, and rushed into the shower and they were below me.. i started to urinate LOL, and when i woke up, i wet my bed ><;

laugh it up

i remember most of my dreams. some are like, whatever. but then i have those where i wake and im like, holy **** i cant believe that was a dream and i wake up shaking and sweaty. lately ive been dreaming about being chased by tornadoes. i try to run and escape, but they seem to follow me wherever i go. and then i have those dreams that when i wake up i ask myself, why did i wake up? like when i have dreams that im being.....romantic....

Have you ever thought that perhaps dreams could be some alternate reality, sorta like the movie The Matrix?

Row Row Row your boat gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.

i thought i was the only one who had dreams like that!:banana:

I love dreaming! I have very very vivid dreams, and some are on going from when I was 5. about 70% of the time I realize im dreaming in the dream and once I figure out im alseep I can control everything in the rest of the dream, which is really fun. Sometimes though I do try to wake myself up but it wont happen, so i question if it really is a dream because I can control it, something awesome will happen, and then I wake up.

Other than that, I have a small problem with having nightmares about being in water with a shark trying to eat me, running away from zombies, and dinosours coming after me. I have about one of each a week, if not combined.

The holographic universe proves that the physical world we believe is real is in fact illusion. Energy fields are decoded by our brains into a 3D picture, to give the illusion of a physical world.
