The dreamer's thread

You and your stupid lucid dreams. I usually just have mundane dreams where I use up the last of my toothbrush or something inane like that then end up buying a new tube the next day all confused because the old tube is half full.

Bah!

Last night I had the worst night of my life...

Do you know how it is when you go to bed and try to get some sleep. Then you start thinking about something completely scary or horrible, and can't stop. I tried to stop thinking about ghosts, aliens, Urban legends and whatnot. I couldn't. Everytime i thought about something else (forced myself), it would get worse. when I tried to think about a cat, The dead girl comes running. While the sound from the scaryshit topic comes up. You know... When you clicked the "This" link. Man, it was awful.

About the lucid dreams.
I've had 2 lucid dreams in my life so far.
1.
I was walking around my yard (I was very young when I had this dream) and suddenly my dad's going to kill me. So I hide on a pile of sand, about 1 meter high. He couldn't see me. Then he drove around the yard with his tractor, which was also a tank. That's when I realized I was dreaming. I kinda just... lifted my legs up in the air and started to paddle into the air.

2.
I was standing on my yard when I noticed something strange. In the middle of the yard there's an old wooden... What do you call these old wooden shitters? Outhouse? Anyways, I walked over to the outhouse and started to examine it, from the outside. Suddenly, MONKEYS started shooting laser beams at me from their hovertanks in the forest. They never hit. I went in to the shitter and found a strange weapon, made completely out of light. It was... lol... a Lensflaearegun!11! With the gun steadily in my hands I walked out of the old wooden shitter. I realized:
"-Hey, I'm dreaming!"
And then I shot myself, trying to find a better dream WITHOUT tanks

I'm starting to wonder. What shit was I on in elementary school?

I had an incredibly weird and memorable dream yesterday. I wrote it down the moment I woke up, so I can kind of remember it. Me and my partner were in some kind of bomb squad unit, and had got to some building (that looked vaguely like my college), and had to disable- and get ready for the ultimate weirdness-SNOTBALL BOMBS!

. We had to blow on them or something until they disappeared. Then someone started tossing them at us from over a wall. We ran to the other side to find out who it was, but all we found was a pizza box with some pills and a few slices.
Sometimes I realise in my dreams that it is only a dream, and then I try to experiment. I had an ice cream in one dream, and I thought that if this is a dream, I would not be able to taste it. However, when I was about to lick it, it leaned forward and licked me! And no...I did not wake up to find my dog slobbering me :

. Another time my legs were glued to a train track, and I realised it was a dream, so I stuck my hands in my pocket and found a toffee.... I started to suck it, but I woke up before I could taste it.
Flying is fun in dreams! Even in dreams though, I understand that flying is not possible. I just realise that I can rise up and swoop around. Then I go around some familiar area, mocking others at how stupid they are that they don't get that they can do this too. It is so vivid that I even try it in real life...doesn't work though

QuoteThe first couple of LD's are usually pretty short (eg:â€oh wow! I'm dreaming!â€ Followed closely by â€œoh damn, I just woke up.â€)

LOL!!!

A couple of things;

Sometimes, when I'm taking the train back home, it's very quiet and warm and dark on the train (Especially because it's winter and dark outside), and so I'll find it hard to stay awake when trying to work on a project or homework or study or whatever. Because I'm telling myself not to fall asleep, my brain starts trying to trick me or something, by filling my head with 'false reality'; ie I'll start to have some sort of a mini dream that I'm doing my homework, and the only reason I'll realize it's only a dream is when my pen starts flying or something, and then I'll jerk back to awakeness and realize I've scribbled all over my project work.

I used to be a lucid dream goddamn master, I swear to god. I had my own little world. It was so cool. I'm gonna start again, only this time, my own little world is gonna be in san francisco.

I'd love to know more about dreams. And especially recurring ones. I used to dream about my house, except it was completely different. It was always at nighttime, and I never went IN to the house. There was always a parking meter in the yard, but I don't know what was behind me because I never looked. There were bushes, and if you walked through the bushes you followed a pebble path down to a pebble beach. This scene, I know, it a combination of a place I visited as a little girl and my home today. But the relevance of the two together? Maybe I'm thinkin' I wanna go back to being a little girl or something, because never ONCE did the thought occur to me to go in to my (present) house. In fact, it didn't even look like you COULD get in to it if you TRIED.

The pebble beach scene is from when I was about 5 years old and lived in London. Our dad had bought a new car, and he'd gone to some sale halfway across the country for it so when he got back it was really late. He woke us up and we all got into this (white) car and drove to an arcade, and then stopped at Little Chef (Hey, I work there now!), and then it was about midnight when we stopped at a pebble beach, the exact one from my dream. We must have drove pretty damn far considering I lived in London. And then I think we went to an airport to see the planes come in, but that could have been another night.

Hmm, hmmmm hmmmmm?

I love dreams. This thread is gonna kick ass. I've been reading everybody elses dreams and trying to imagine them, too.

I think something like that occured to me yesterday...

So.. when on a bus, I suddenly noticed the bus had filled so almost all the seats were taken, execpt the ones in the four seat group I was in... so, on a stop, three girls get on the bus, and they sit on the seat group I'm in. They are talking in english, or something similiar to it. Then, one of them, who's sitting opposite to me, is looking out of the window and saying nothing. I get this feeling I have seen her before. I start thinking where, but cannot remember. Then, one of the other girls clearly call her something like "Rusalka" or something... a name I don't recall ever hearing. (It might be my memory isn't working very well atm.) Then it just clicks. In the dream, I remembered where I had seen her... then I woke up, and noticed the bus was definately not full, and the stop I was about to get off was just coming, so I hurried to press the stop button......

Welcome to the twilight zone.

Ishmael · Sun 29/02/2004 19:52:41

Hmm... ... ...

How come you are so sure?

And... I've been in the twilight zone for some time... Or something like it... maybe just in the shadow...

LordHart · Sun 29/02/2004 23:29:21

Its odd how you simply said her name and shes pissed, yet I've been saying thats shes been with a big group of chicks in my dreams **CENSORING** my brains out...

Ishmael · Mon 01/03/2004 05:44:46

Twilight zone... something psychinc..? something paranormal..? Something... or is it something I have done earlier?

Late last night, right before going to sleep, I was talking to remixor about his Double Fine escapades, and I had a dream where I went to Double Fine and met Tim Schafer. It was a building full of buildings and cubicles, which looked a lot like a place I worked for this summer, and he was wearing some sort of Jesus-like robes, more eastern/indian-like and he was saying things, and it was hilarious. I asked him some questions, which I don't remember the answer to, and then I left. I remember I wanted to go into this secret room, but they didn't let me. They were building a super secret level for Psychonauts or something!

Then, I woke up and thought, "Oh no! It was all a dream!". It felt pretty vivid. :o

Pelican · Fri 03/09/2004 01:04:41

My dreams are usually pretty weird, but cool, and vaguely logical. Quite often I use them as ideas for stories.I usually don't feel emotions in them either, so scary dreams rarely scare me - I can be objective.

My worst nightmare; just in case you're squeamish:

Spoiler

Anyway, my most horrible nightmare was that I'd got some horrible disease/virus that was killing me, and then my eyes sort of oozed out of their sockets, but I could still see. The worst part was I could feel everything. My own eyeballs oozing down my cheeks. The rather extreme panic I was feeling. I woke up whimpering.

Naturally I didn't wear my contact lenses for a week. And stopped watching gory movies, and reading horror novels for several months.

but sometimes I wake up when my body is still sleeping - usually after lucid dreaming (which dosn't happen often) - and I flip out coz I cant move Ã,Â . .I don't flip out as much any more and it can be kinda fun - hasn't happened in months tho.

Meh.
That happens to me too.
But then in my case I still flip out, and sometimes it gets a little painful, my eyes are still in REM, but I'm awake and I try to open them, and they're still moving and stuff.
The horror.

Exorcisteryness0rz...

Anyway, lately, as I've been going to bed earlier then usually, I've had dreams like every third night... not long, most of them, but one nice dream I remember was really bizarre, you ever been in a bit expohall type building with stuffed supports and indoor walls and stuff, where you go to meet other people involved in a card collecting game, a game you don't know how to play, or anything about the cards or anything, you just have a deck of them, and it works as a flashligth, like the deck of cards would be a box with a light inside, whcih then comes out throught the center square of the undermost card (the only card the face of which you can see)?

Yeah... reaaly bizarre dreams, weirder then before, and more then before... no lucidy yet, though, but I'm aiming at it.

Damn to the depths who ever thought of resurructing this thead

THREAD DUG FROM ITS GRAVE! IT'S ALIVE!!!

Um, anyway, I had this weird dream, or two, and it relates to AGS:

So, somehow I ended up going to Sweden and I was hanging out with none other than Mr. Petter "Andail" himself. We went up this cliff, which looked more like a Jeep comercial, and we traded a tiny car for this huge truck, and it was a Volvo, I think, but it was the Hummer of Volvos. We drive around because Andail is my tour guide around Sweden and I'm completely impressed taking pictures of everything while Andail is not impressed at all. We some how end up walking to this place where they sell counterfeit stuff like shirts and whatnot; apparently Andail knew like the big boss. As we were leaving there was some kind of party along the way, and then some goons start chasing Andail, but by that time it's no longer Andail but some guy I was hanging out with yesterday. I realized that I left my jacket behind so I have two options: 1) Go get my jacket. 2) Fight. While thinking about this, my friend is running towards me, and one of the goons tries to beat me up, but I end up pulling a judo move and he's on the ground...

Then, I woke up.

And I remembered that I had ordered an XBOX 360. I traded in my xbox for it, and I got the new one for $100. It was under my bed like a Christmas gift, and I wanted to hook it up online and tell everyone about it, but I couldn't find the controllers. So I looked around and found this plastic bag with some pieces inside and realized that I had to assemble the controller! I open the bag, and out comes a piece of paper that read: "In order to deliver you more than one controller we have reduced the size of our controllers". So, out of the bag came three controllers. One is like this weird thing that looked like joystick, the second one is a "Natural" (like designed for your hand) version of the controller. The third is the normal controller, but it is tiny! like the size of half of your thumb. And the thing actually works! It's hard to press the buttons, but hey. Also, the xbox comes with a blender to attach to the xbox, but a blender designed for college students with extra slots to make Margaritas...

Then I really woke up, and I realized that I might be late for work.
