Last night I had alot of dreams.
I woke up and wrote down all I could remember. I don't remember which dreams came when...and they all end strange.

Dream 1:
I'm at a college. I gotta run, have a schedule to keep I put a bowl of clam chowder, uncovered in the back of my car and go
all the while thinking of grilled cheese to have with the chowder Once I get half way to the college I realize I should have
made the grilled cheese at home. But its too late to turn back I have to go to class. Except at the college one of my
high school teachers is the prof. He says we are going to watch a movie instead I get out of class and walk around campus
I ask a kid how long the bus takes, and a train pulls up instead I see a girl I've never really met, talked to on myspace
but she is sitting on a couch talking on a cell phone how do I know what she really looks like? Im puzzled
she doesn't seem to notice me so i don't bother her then some girl from a completely different dream
starts chewing me out because I was walking around asking everyone if they want to make out, thats not like me
my friend is standing beside me laughing, I think he was the one End of what I remember

*Segment*
My watch in the dream reads 6:50pm.
My mind thinks its ok, I don't even need to try to wake up anymore
Its well past when I should have gone to work
End

Dream 2:
I'm driving in the country side of vermont. Its late at night Its raining and I'm on a road I don't really know
I'm going to visit a girl who lives with a cult deep in the woods Eventually I think I know where I am so I stop and get out
I walk down a path, looking for signs of life I see a sign carved into wood, I don't remember what it said
I see camera equipment just laying around The blinking red lights throw me off, I wonder why it was left here
I pick it up and run for my life
End

Dream 3:
ANother dream I'm a native, we are preparing for some sort of crowning ceramony. It involves finding
the perfect canoe, which I find. It is slim and dark wood and carved with many different shapes into it.
I take it around the pond and talk to people they tell me it is perfect. When I finally get back to
give it to the ceramony. I jump out of it and into the water I hoist it up for everyone to look at
I then see it is for my friend's wife, who comes out dressed in way too little clothing for her size. She begins to do some ceramonial dance
END

Dream 4:
I'm chewing my mom out because she doesn't get me time to see a doctor. I'm 23 and can't grow normal
things like chest hair, sideburns, a complete happy trail I feel like I haven't aged since I first began puberty
...I think I have some hormonal insufficency.
END

Dream 5:
Another dream, I'm playing at the arcade with some friends We are playing a mario kart LIKE game. But in
arcade style seats and wheels connected to the machine Driving around in karts on race tracks high in the
sky. Doing jumps and flips. Items and speed boasts everywhere. Except when I fall off the track I use my hand to grab onto the track and pull myself back onto it in mid air. I can change the track with my hand, pulling it here and there. I do this acouple times to keep from falling all the way off. The race is very close but I lose.
END


I have no idea how I remembered 5 dreams at all. I did sleep in today, and that sometimes causes me to remember more and dream alot more...Anyway pretty crazy stuff. I just wanted to record it all

Ps. I've only had acouple lucid dreams, and I haven't had one in a pretty long time.
I remember once realizing I was dreaming telling myself to change the dream and the next thing I remember I was in a lush green environment with a sparkling pool at my feet and pretty ladies walking slowly toward me...haha...

Yes.

Strangest dream? Well I had a dream that I was just sitting on my bed, doing nothing, staring blankly at the window, on a sunny day. When I woke up, I felt like I never had any sleep. Basically, I had a dream that made me feel that I'm not sleeping. I wouldn't want that dream to happen again...EVERRRRRR!!!!!

Everyone dreams, it's just a matter of whether or not they remember them.

When I had a blog I used to write them on my phone (save as draft plz) just after I woke up.

I believe i've had a lucid dream before, it really scared me (nightmare). It sounds stupid but from what I can remember now it was someone pestering me for money, that I didn't have. Threatening to kill me. I woke up in a sweat and couldn't sleep straight after as I was like shaking/adrenaline rush (so I went downstairs and went on the PC for 30 mins, then I was fine).

The nightmare before that was about me being home alone (as I was living at home alone then, due to my father being hospitalised) and ghosts were around, I then was too scared to be in my own house and had to leave, running to my aunties house (which is like an hour away walking) and a load of ghosts following me.

..the rest of that day I was really uneasy heh.

One thing I find about dreaming, is a place you regularly go to, like you KNOW you're dreaming about the route home from college, but it's warped and different. For example; I dreampt I was walking home, then where a school should of been, was a wall overlooking the sea and an island (prob the isle of wight) in the distance.

Was odd.
I think you misunderstood what lucid dream means.

A lucid dream is a term originated by Celia Green for a dream in which the person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress, also known as a conscious dream. When the dreamer is lucid, he or she can actively participate in the dream environment without any of the inhibitions or limitations that otherwise would feel natural to persons who incorrectly believe they are in the "real" waking world.
-Wikipedia

It's the coolest experience. If you haven't had one, I strongly recommend you do everything in your power to have one.

When I wake up, I don't remember some of my dreams. It will take some item or something of some sort to remind me of that dream.

How do you 'have' a lucid dream?

There are lots of techniques. Click the link in my earlier post. It will explain exactly what a lucid dream is, and how you can train yourself to have them. It's like the ultimate video game.

I didn't even know there was a term for it..

Almost all of my dreams are lucid dream I think. Most of the time I can control what happens, especially if it's no nightmare, for nightmare it takes me awhile until I realise and can take the control.

Many of my dreams are not from my perspective but me watching scenes, like I am writing a book or something... those are the dreams that I use for my stories and they are pretty adventurous and romantic most of the time.

No, I didn't. I didn't explain that I was controlling the dream, per se. But I was.

I see... Usually, though, you don't have nightmares when you're lucid. Or rather, you don't stay in a nightmare after you become lucid. I'm not sure why you'd want to, either.

As PM'd to mthrnite:
QUOTE said:
I'm a lucid dreamer and I usually always have weird dreams that when I have normal, realistic dreams or don't dream at all (rare) I get freaked out and think why.

I just woke up and I had one of the most awesome dreams I just dreamt.

I'm skipping towards the end where it's relevant...

I was browsing GBAtemp only this time it was mostly Japanese with a few English here and there. When I read the posts I can hear them too, then suddenly, I got hungry as usual and posted an SOS topic for someone to get me some food or cook for me and that I'd return the favor by making something for them.
You replied immediately and even sported a brand-new sig with some SD characters of Tempers on some go-karts with you on the lead. (I was one of them, yeah! With a little green head and all).
Others started replying, mostly wktk (slang for ????/wakuteku, meaning "it's coming" or to show anticipation) and some asking if this was serious, etc. Some regulars also replied (JPH I think said 'I want one too' and Hadrian said something too).
Your second reply had streaming video of you frying an omelette on a pan, etc. More replies, this time I could see Tempers typing and hearing what they type (think the replies in the Densha Otoko drama if you've seen that).
Finally, you told me to go to some place in GBAtemp and click on the big version of your sig. I clicked on my character's head and saw some flash intro thing but I clicked on SKIP, then it became a weird chat room with a floating cartoon version of you head with floating text that says "bald ojii-san". There's also someone else there with a Grue avatar but forgot his nick, mine said "orcdorc" however (which tinyt calls me).
You said something like here it is, then sent me a file (it was omelette.xxx i forgot the extension but it was something different). I kept typing into the chat how excited I was but I was more excited that it was sending at 4mb/s. When I finally got it, I put it in a SD card, plugged it into the microwave and got the omelette. I felt so hungry again and stuffed the thing in my mouth.
Then I woke up, still with the taste of the omelette in my mouth. I feel guilty of not having replied in my dream to thank you and post on that thread that the omelette was awesome and see the reactions of other Tempers.
OMELETTES!

That's an interesting dream. I wish I had dreams like that. My dreams are usually pretty regular, compared to some of the ones I see here. Do you use a technique for your lucid dreaming, Orc, or does it just happen naturally?

I don't know about dreaming weird I think that's natural but my I think part of the reason why my dreams are lucid are because I usually meditate before I sleep.
Making sure you're relaxed even before you sleep helps a lot and even if I only get a few hours of sleep, I feel fresh.

I never meditate before going to sleep, it also takes me quite a while until I am able to fall asleep and until I do I always imagine what kind of things I could dream about and most of the time it happens to be something like what I imagined beforehand.

But I noticed that whenever I have a fight with my boyfriend and don't make up with him before going to bed I won't dream at all.

Eh.. I was wondering:
Isn't it weird how you're almost never able to dream a dream until the end? Like orc woke up before he could reply... I cannot remember many dreams that really had an end, usually I just wake up right before the good part and am wide awake.

I dunno, but that was just a small part of a dream. My dreams feel like hours long like almost a day but I usually only get 5 hours of sleep.
When there's a rare chance I don't dream, when I wake up, I feel like crap and get into a bad mood lol.

Heh, for me it's usually the other way around, time's flying in my dreams and even if tons of stuff happen it still feels like just a few minutes to me and when I take a look at the clock some hours went by. ;_; Me wants to dream moar.

I kind of get in a bad mood too, yesterday I woke up several times in the night because I didn't dream anything at all. Which was rather annoying and so today really isn't my favourite day.. *nods*

Use them.

And to be relevant to this topic. I tell you about my dream just now (I just woke up).

Sometimes when I dream, I'm a different person or a character. My character today was a young man wearing matching blue and white shirt, shorts and cap.
Anywho, after this and that, I am in my IRL room talking to my 2-3 yr old son about this and that. So I went outside of the room into the living room and saw there were a lot of people outside for some reason, marching. It wasn't a chaotic mob or something, they were just chatting while walking. But yeah, there were a lot of them.
So I went outside of the house with baby and talked to my uncle about repairing some toy and that we were going to "the factory".
Suddenly, I'm in the factory with baby. He was on my shoulders.
The factory was this multi-leveled place with some spinning thing in the middle (but it wasn't spinning yet). It was huge.
Nobody else was there but us. We climbed up the highest level, I think it was the 4th or 5th. Looking from above, the spinning thing looked like the blades of a blender only they aren't sharp but look like giant sledgehammers.
The spinning parts on the top were protruding out to the floors so baby and I had to sit down by the edge when it started spinning. It spun slow at first then gradually getting faster.
As it spun faster, the levels below us started to have color and then, people.
I jumped with baby in hand while it was spinning then everything was slow and I was gliding through the air. I landed on the 2nd floor and it was filled with people with different costumes and shit. Apparently the 2nd floor was a cafe between parallel worlds. Baby was hungry but we couldn't buy anything since I forgot to bring money so I asked a stranger for some food. He gave us peanuts in a pack and he was from the same world as us.
Then suddenly I was reading a comic book with my character in it. For some reason, my character's family were attacked by emoticons (black smileys from the sky/clouds) and he was the only one who survived and ran into the factory. I was reading into the pages where there was a big march (I think the same march the people were doing outside my house) and how my character was always trying to get home by going to the factory.
Then I woke up.

I can't really say in words how surreal it is so yeah it sounds normal.
