what is the weirdest thing youve seen in your dreams?

My own grave.

ME flying and then landing safely.

Both when I was about 10 yrs old.
1) I dreamt I saw a picture of two mummies. Those mummies actually looked rigth into my being and I could feel their sight coldly penetrating my mind.
I woke up terrified

2) a representation of my growing(?) sexuality as a pink vulva shaped room full of baroque figueres and some naked girls.
I woke up with this strange feeling in my belly. At the time I had no clear idea of its meaning ;)

I'll admit Merljin that is pretty wierd,

I had a dream last night that I was in this metropolis where instead of cars people used vintage airplanes from the thirties and fourties to get around. This mob boss guy was telling me how to run a plane into a building (he also happened to be someone who was on a fire safety instructional video I had watched the day before) when I think I said no and pointed a gun at him. Then this really pretty woman walked over from somewhere and I heard my alarm blaring and I woke up.

All in all it was pretty cool.

I've also had a dream that I was flying. I was all over Manhattan when I fell back into my body and just jumped when I woke up. I have no doubt in my mind that it was an OBE. I was around four when it happened though so I just thought it was a dream.

previous of all my dream flights were disasters,like once i started flying(on my own with no craft whatsoever)from a mountain and crashed on my grandpas duplex in TX.

what could have happened if you crashed and didnt wake up and see urself dying in your dreams??do you think you"ll die here?(i know i have asked this before,but still wondering.):confused: :confused:

then wouldn't you die? You'd be dead. I dunno.

:rolleyes:
I do not believe we live in the Matrix, Zion :smile:
Well, if you wouldn't wake up at all, you'd be in a coma - I guess.

I am nearly never really afraid in my dreams, because I always feel it's not for real. That is also why I am not extremely happy i my dreams if I get something special (like tonight, I dreamt I got a really cool D12-jacket from Eminem *okay it's weird* but I already knew it would be lost by the time I would wake up.)

Morpheus is not always right: the power of the mind is not so strong a to actually make you die if your mind believes you did. Maybe that was the entire clue about scene in which Neo was shot in the Matrix and 'stood up from the dead'. He realised that even though he died in the Matrix, it was 'just like a dream' so he could stand up again.

I dunno,but i"ve heard that conciousness is almost dead during sleep.

Well, during the deep dleep (or 'alpha') phases of the sleep it's true. Consciouness is "offline", so to speak. But not at all during the vivid REM-stage imn which the dreaming part takes place. Who/what else is doing the dreaming?

THe nature of dreaming being what it is, most of the really good and weird stuff I've dreamt I've never been able to remember.

I do have recollection of certain recurrent dreams, dreams that reoccur at random intervals across the years, that each time seem essentially the same in viewer's perspective, storyline and chronologic.

I do most definitely dream in color and sound.

Perhaps my most vivid dream in recent times began with shopping for blue jeans at the mall. I begin to take notice of being followed by several people who, at their first opportunity, usher me outside the store. Outside is quite surreal -- in the Half-Life alien world sense -- where daytime has been turned into dark and irridescent twilight. My new companions, revealing themselves to be off-worlders -- agents for some alien government -- are attempting to enlist my aid. It seems I am crucial to their efforts to defend Earth against an oncoming invasion fleet belonging to not very nice aliens.

Perhaps it all resulted from too many hours playing FPSers, but it was a particularly intricate and amazingly coherent dream -- for the consistent, chronological progession of the dream to a logically recognizable premise.

I dream in color, sound, sight, and touch. Can't seem to smell anything though.

Interesting, Mr. G.

this statement left me Just wondering,...does anyone's dreams include smells too?:( i mean,brain does recognize smell in form of electric signals so one must dream of smells,but i"ve never experienced such a thing.i dream in sounds and color,but smell?HELL no.

Then there's another dream of similar FPS ilk.

It takes place inside a normal looking, multi-story, single family wood frame house common to mid west America.

Inside, the house in unfurnished and one moves from room to room to room traveling upwards in a spiral path -- in other words, there are no stairs, the layout is more like a parking garage where your travels spiral you upwards to the higher floors.

Along the way one has to dodge and fend off large and small insects (large dog-sized large) that jump out from broken floor boards, ceilings and walls.

When you get to the top you automatically reappear outside the house to start all over again.

Yep, I'm suspecting over-exposure to FPSers, too. :)

I can remeber only one instance of a dream with a smell. And becuase it was so strange I still remember the rest of the dream as well.
I dreamt (here is only the smelly part) I was in my bedroom at my students apartment and my father opened the door , sayd hi and threw a sof package to me. It was grayish and I realised it was the payamas of my (then) girlfriend. I held it to my face, because I wanted to smell it. And I COULD ACTUALLY SMELL it... very distinclty! The smell of the washing powder she always uses. (yes it was clean ;)).
then she entered the room, and we had some fun.... :D

"ah, memories of love..." (Merlin in the Movie "Merlin")

GEE:D :D :D :D

well I have been killed during my dreams. here' s one of them.
I traveled to a another dimension of our world and found myself in a battle condition. But then I discovered that my weapon really is a water pistol and quess what happened. I was shot, killed.
Then it was like save and load in games. I saw myself bloody on the ground and the next moment I was respawned like in Counterstrike.
Another dream was when I was a warrior in middle ages. I was in a grate battle and fought well with my sword, but then I was killed by another warrior, who deadly wounded me in the stomach with his sword. the last thing I new was that I am dying. Next thing I remember was seeing another dream.

So being killed in dreams doesen't mean you will be dead for real or fall into a coma. But maybe my dreams weren't realistic enough:)

important thing to note: NEXT THING I REMEMBER
===========================================
Try to memorise what happened between those time delays.then tell me.if you can,i"ll may be able to explain a lot of things.
excitedly waiting for your response.
bye!.

:) :D
I said: "Well, if you wouldn't wake up at all, you'd be in a coma - I guess."
That has nothing to do with the dream you have had...
never mind.

I sent RE to your PM , but I may as well answer your question here.
I don't exactly remember what happened in between, but what I think I remember was that I didn't really feel the time in between it was like I watched TV and switched to another channel. But it could be hours spent in between too.

I have discovered that time in dreams is very relative. I remember one dream very good. It was very colourful(much more colours than in real life) I was riding in a motor boat. It seemed for me to last for only 5 minutes, but then I woke up and discovered that ~ 5 minutes in my dream was actually all night i.e. it was allready morning.

Not connected with time
Have you had that? I had a dream where I was smth like a warrior/explorer in deep future.. When I woke up my first thought was that I have to set my course to planet(don't remember) in star system(don't remember the name of tht star system either)And I was very shocked confused and miserable when I discovered tht tht was just a dream. If I had a more spontanious character I might have done suicide at tht moment- when I discovered that I was just an ordinary human in non-developed dark age of 20th century-compared to the marvelous space travels and adventures. I duno, maybe it would have been better if I hadn't woke up and continued my deep future adventures. At the moment my thoughts were exactly the same.

I have had exactly opposite,i mean once i dreamt that i was on our family estate in TX,and we were discussing rain man(during the 70s there was lot of talk in Dalls about a man who could bring rain),i had a hard time explaining grandpa that it was simply impossible and that it was a hoax,it seemed to me after a while that hours had passed,i woke (i dont remember how)and found that just half an hour had passed.

about the rememberance thing,
why i wanted you to remember the stuff was that possibly that could explain various other things,when we die in our dreams,where do we go,and again how do we come back.indeed if this world is a dream then there can be an analogy.the deduction is a speculation,but can help us a lot. I hope STRYDERUNKNOWN can help us on this as he knows a lot about brain stuff.
bye!

This line has further strengthened my idea of this world being computer simulated.this world has its own set of rules,time here has a different meaning,whereas our dreams are a different world,with different set of rules on which it is designed to run.

Well I've read through the thread so far, now I'm going to put forwards my reasoning of the "Hows, wheres and whys" of dream creation. and try to answer some of the points like "How a person can recieve a deathblow and not die from a dream" or "Can you smell in a dream?"

Firstly Why we sleep?
The reason why we sleep, is purely because our body needs time to rebuild. When it's in use in daylight, it's not just suffering the strain of what do (like percieving something, thinking of something, walking etc) but it also suffers from external factors like UV radiation and a lessening of nutrients.

We sleep to give a chance for our body to settle, and repair. You have to also understand that if people suffer a drug addiction where they take plenty of drugs, they look and become withdrawn due to damage. I mention this as the brain controls chemical creation across the body, and if you didn't sleep then you would find our body swamped by many of the chemicals that are normally used, lowering their effectiveness at the tasks they are meant for.

Info bite:
Well in your brain there is a Region called the Thalamus, it is the Senses Control Centre (all your senses are routed and processed through this, other than the epidermal layer's nerve endings that use the Cerebellum)

When you are awake everything you see and hear, runs through this region (taste and smell is connected between the Thalamus and the Hyper-Thalamus the region that decides when your hungry or thirsty [Which links to smell and taste], or when you need to pee)

When we sleep, where do dreams occur, and what makes them occur?
For this I have to pull upon your ability to imagine (This is your Conscious method of using pathways that are usually active when dreaming/asleep).

Imagine the Brain as an Onion with it layers. When awake and conscious your thoughts and functions stem right to your outer layers, making your brain a hive of activity.
When you fall asleep, your thoughts and functions begin to retreat layer by layer.

Until you are asleep with your brain activity lowered to existing at the onions core.

This core would be the Thalamus and some of the inner regions of the lobes, although the brain activity doesn't stem to all of the lobes.

This isn't just an accident that the activity moves to and through the Thalamus, as this is where your body is controlled with Sleep Paralysis and cut off from many sensations that may wake you.
(Like external sound, smell, sight, touch, taste)

How this occur's is because neurons work like a policeman directing traffic at a T-junction. When awake a signal is created from a conscious state keeps the senses following their normal pathways (The policeman waves traffic across the straight), but during sleep the signal is no longer sent which means the signals are sent along another pathway (The policeman halts normal traffic and allows them to turn into the junction).

This means that there are pathways created for your signals to go to. (although I would suspect that it would be similar to a loop, like 127.0.0.1 in a kernel on a computer)

I mentioned before on another subject some information regarding how much of the brain we actually use, people know it to be 10%. Of course I mentioned that when people think of 1/10 of something they think of it being a block of the whole, rather than scattered throughout the whole.
The reason for our use being scattered is pretty much down to "Heat", just like CPUs suffer from overheating so could we if we used a block of processing rather than spacing our processing out. (Kmguru, that might spawn a thought for you)

When we dream, our system takes all the lacking sense pathways and begins routing traffic that would normally directed to our frontal lobes down them. This means all the thoughts that would normally occuring at the frontal lobe to be processed as emotions or calculating/solving problems are now running through your sense perception area and creating a whole host of odd instances of sub-conscious thought within "The onion core".

This could also be the reasoning why you don't remember a dream until you wake, as what ever was going on within your dream state is routed back to the frontal lobe on waking, to be processed by conscious thought.

How comes I survived a Death blow? Why didn't I die in my sleep?

For a person to die in their sleep, it would involve either sufficiation from them believing they can't breath, or from a sudden shock that knocks a signal to the heart. (causing a heart attack) The latter usually caused through extreme fear, terror like actually understanding the whole instance of splatting into the ground after falling from a great height, or trying to hide from a planet thats about to be struck by a comet.

Of course there are instances that a person survives, for instance they realise the world that they are having a sword fight in isn't their own due to it being 6 centuries too old for them :D
Or the fact that a Wound to the stomach could take a long time for someone to die naturally, so you have a long enough time to wake up and realise your not suffering a gaping wound.

Can we smell in our sleep?
I would say if your fully asleep you won't, although smells can be put aside within your mind as memories. I would percieve that you would need an amount of conscious thought to be able to smell or taste, which means you would probably wake shortly after from smelling a delicate flower or tasting a divine fruit.

In my experience I had a dream where I had a taste in the back of my mouth created from eating "Gold". Bit of an odd type of gold though as it looked like gold, but got cut into blocks like a solidified buttermilk, and had a taste that well I'm not going to write it's comparison here.

Why is my perception of time distorted?
Understand that whole world is shrouded by many different frequencies. Where one frequency might have a large wave formation, another will have a small wave formation that can fit with in the larger many times.

If the same information is contained within each wavelength, it's possible for the smaller wavelength to deliver an information packet before that of the larger waveformation.
This occurs within the brain, and is the basis of Neural Networking design and what can be used to create a fractal evolutionary algorythm which has to be parallel processed to create a surviving singularity. (intelligence)

This can also be seen in the recent explaination of how we measure time and how light can be distorted by gravity.
In the brain, a person can percieve things at a higher speed, so what you might think is a dream saga lasting an hour, occurs within 15 minutes.

I hope that's enough information for now, but feel free to ask question, or complain about inaccuracies.

How do you explain that i had a dream where I was riding on a motor boat for ~5 minutes, but when I woke up it was allready morning. Did I simply was in "between"[therm I and zion used to describe period between dreams]. I remember tht I could not remember of dreaming anything else. Did I just sleep thinking of nothing, did my brain switch off(not fully cause then I would die) switched out all my thoughts?

I would guess that your 5 minutes spanning a whole night, would be because your dream occured at a point that managed to wipe out any notion of time. The dream could of occured for 5-10 minutes before waking and falsified the thought that it had existed all night, this can occur as the brain is open to suggestions when first awoken.

The other possibility is that the dream repeated, this can occur, you might dream it first time around and for some reason think about it as a memory like you wanted to alter something that makes you re-dream the whole dream you drempt.

I know what you mean. It was in tht dream I described earlier on this thread. I was in a paralell dimension of our world in a battle condition when discovered tht my weapon actually is a water pistol. I was killed. What I forgot to tell is that I thought that smth was awfully wrong about that, it didn't have to be like this. And I was respawned to go through a similar situation again. Ironically I didn't have ANY weapon this time. I used stealth and retreated, thus staying alive. [in that dream where I was wounded in the stomach and was dying however I somehow didn't think of that. I knew that I would die and did]

You could look at you dieing in dreams alot with a little psychology.

Do you ever play games like quake? do you find yourself lose often?

If so then its possible that the dream is a subconscious fear of losing. If thats the case... you Got to win!

I have had several recurring dreams one is really weird though...think of a neighborhood lots of trees well in this vacant lot their is this fort kids built out of plywood and its been spraypainted blue and red it has 2 storys and in the rest of the lot is old junked computers and its mined and theirs just all kinds of cool stuff hidden under the stuff (ive found a gameboy and bunch of games,a needler pistol like from fallout2,a colt1911,a pulse rifle like the one from aliens) one time ive had to to fight the kids useing different weapons kind of weird...

the strangest dream i have had (that i can recall) is me with a pulse rifle from aliens, a m1911, an mp5, and a double-handed broadsword with a 4ft blade, and i was wearing battle armor like part mail part plate. I was on the FireArms map ps_marie or something similar to it and running from aliens like in the movie "aliens" it was scary as hell. I wasnt old maybe like 20 and had shoulder length gray hair and a full scraggly beard.. i was blasting them with everything i had. left, right up down anyways i killed a praetorien by shooting the ammo box under the bridge and blowing it up. i was out of ammo for everything...i through my guns down and started fighting my way toward teh bridge ladder with my broadsword sliceing aliens in 2 and the like.. I somehow managed to climb atop the bridge and some sort of portal appeared in the air beside the bridge I lept through it and was in on a desert plain..dry and dusty bright sun. as I looked around i noticed an object in teh sky comeing toward me it was a missle, one tipped with a nuke(one of those weird dream things where you know stuff) just as it was about to impact 100 ft away from me i felt like a huge jolt of electricity went through me. I woke up scared sh*tless.

ive had other dreams about the aliens in "aliens" chaseing me wether i had weapons or not but every time before i die it feels like im being shocked and wake up.http://www.geocities.com/area51/dungeon/3169/HITALIEN.JPG

That could be the case and I think that you are right about this one. Dreams are a very interesting thing to study and they open the door to your subconsciosness. I think that you could open a new thread about subconsciousness, I do not know enough about it to start it with interesting thoughts to discuss about, but you could. If you have time, maybe you could.
Bye!

Do any of you remember having a dream after going sleep when your high on cannabis???

I don't.

Can anyone explain that???

STRYDERUNKNOWN
==============================================
my point was that if two dreams occur and in the previous dream a person dies and then after a time lag goes to next dream,then isnt there an anlogy with the life?i mean he dies in his dreams,waits for a while at some other place(about which we dont know,which is at a different frequency), goes into the dreamworld for new dream with a newly built body.that is why i stressed so much on does he remember what happened in between those dreams,do you think thats possible?

I would say that everything is passible " beyond the invisible"[BTW great song]. We have no proof is there an afterlife or not. Hindus and Budists beleive in reancarnation(hope spelled it right), and it could be true. We could make an experiment. We would hipnotize zion to e-mail us after 10 years. and then kill him. but we have no idea if it would work i.e. if his subconsciousness remains the same:D :D :D :D just a joke. But seriously I haven't thought of how to proove it or disproove it. What do you have in mind zion? have any theories?

sorry but have to go now. be back after 4 hours and if by the time you have replyed I will continue our debate.
Bye!

what i meant was some sort of loader program like "construct".i mean a person dies returns to "contruct" and dreams are again loaded and you are inside the dream world.

The sub-concious mind has everything stored so if there's an after life,then i'd remember everything,after my so-called re-incarnation.i have heard in many cases people can remember incidences which are very old eg 35-40 yrs,under whats called as Deep Hypnosis.so i am ready to go ahead with this experiment of yours:D .but how will you know where i have taken rebirth.;)

you know Stryder really had a big point in saying that MRI scans of brain,mapping the activity of brain during death can be real helpful.

managed to get out for a sec.

so you say tht it is smth like in "matrix"
when people die, their subconsciousness remains, but only it dreams i.e. lives in a dream world and then after some time[maybe you wake up] smth disturbs you thoughts you are born again. sorry zion a nice theory but it lacks proof. What I say it is not a bad theory at all, but I find it hard how to proove it is right or not.:confused:
Maybe you have some ideas on this one.
Would like to hear it out.

Back in ~45 min I think this time.
I'm messing with my hardware, motherboard has has made my OS go crazy. looking for the problem, but I think tht this night I'm doing formating.
local time 22:24

Just a thought...

I said smth about e-mail, right.
I would hipnotize you tht when you are 10 years(whatever, but have to be big enough to log in inet) old you mail me @ mythago@gmx.co.uk and 20 other e-mails I would have been created(if 2 or 10 go offline). you mail me
Hi, Avatar it is me ZION and I have come to revenge you for my death. I have located your ISP and hacked in it's logs and know your exact location. standby. :D :D :D
you see nothing hard

KOOL.i am ready then.

anyways just before dying:D,i was thinking if sub-concious mind stores every bit,then damm whats the limit?.i have read that total memory is about 10 terrabytes,but it seems that there is no limit.
bye!.

I would say that it isn't a Matrix system, as when you look at a matrix system you realise that the whole world is false. It's more like an Overlay system, the world continues how it should but a whole subsystem allows things to be overlayed. (Hallucinations, holograms, apparitions etc)

Not to forget to mention a whole method of being able to reincarnate (This involves taking an individuals lifethoughts and "sprinkling them" throughout the life of an individual so as not to force and entity over and individual but to become symbiont.)

I mentioned MRI scans during death, but I neglect to mention that the same scans can be performed by the very equipment that can search the stars for other solarsystems can be put to a global use of this. When a persons life flashes before their eyes could be like their memories having a last upload incase they die, are relocated through the system.

People always ask "But what of when their wasn't this equipment!", the answer is simply relativity. People look at the world as a timeline, and don't seem to look so much at those folds that cause light to bend.

Can i be resident guru on all canabis related matters?
Anyway to the point as hand Do any of you remember having a dream after going sleep when your high on cannabis???
I don't.
Can anyone explain that???

Yes i can :)
When you smoke canabis it releases chemicals into your brain these chemicals stop you from falling into what is known as Rapid Eye Movement sleep.
Without REM sleep there is no dreams.
Iv been smokin dope for longer then id care to mention and it does have bad side affects that people blatanly fail to mention, not dreaming is one of them, lack of short term memory is another.

Iv never had reoccuring dreams, iv mentioned before that when i was younger and long before i started to smoke i used to "see into the future" in my dreams, very short periods of time usually just a conversation or a feeling coupled with some sounds, de ja vu is one thing but this was something more solid.
I suppose im writing this now because the last time i mentioned this on this forum it happened again, same shit identical, 4 words of a converstation with my younger brother, id had that conversation before!!!!
Now iv told loads of people about this, most dismiss it as old memorys poping up that id forgoten about but i know this isnt the case.
Now assuming im not a complete physco iv done something that physic's says is impossible, iv observed an event that has not happened yet.
The really gay thing about this is i dont know about it until its just about to happen then il remember the whole thing for a few seconds then it gets all cloudy again.
I have to say i find this very weired, i know i asked before and got a muted response but has anyone else ever had this happen to them or anything like it?
You guys seem to have some truly kick ass dreams, can i have the drug you currently taking please?

No drugs here, benji. What I've found is that I can see into the future and pick winning coke bottles if I at least try the techniques they've mentioned here, at a website I'll give you in a sec. I haven't meditated yet, not even once, but if I try to move things with my mind I'll be able to barely get a glimpse into the future or guess things like numbers or coke caps or the way a coin will flip or anything. Here's (http://www.spiritonline.com ) the website. Enjoy.

A sunburned fat lady wearing a backless cactus singing "Whats love got to do..got to do with it"

yep, that's prettttty wierd.

OK Mr guru, can you explain to me why my apitite is so messed up the next day after having a heavy smoking sesion the nite before??? some days i dont eat for the whole day after smoking i feel hungry but whatever i eat makes me feel sick.

what can you perscribe for me????

I always dream in colour , sound, smell, everything that is perceivable in this reality and more.
Avatar, I read about your dreams, and I think that you may very well have dreamed about past lives too, but a little bit mixed with your gaming-experiences.

Where have all you read that the consciousnees is almost dead during sleep?
Because I have heard otherwise, the opposite, that the brain signals are much more active during sleep, but in different areas than when awake.
When watching TV on the other hand, the consciousness is very, very close to dead. :D

I don´t know who talked about the 5 min dream that lasted for a whole night, but anyway...
You dream many dreams during one night, and you almost always only remeber the one you have just before you wake up.
The other way around then, when you dream a long dream, but only have slept for a few minutes..
Then you have experienced how little time means in the dream world, it can bend , rewind, change form, any way necessary to get the message through in "time", before you wake up.

I wrote my dreams down for a while, have stopped now, will be taking it up again soon. That I can recommend you to do, very enriching and teaches you a lot of how your personality works and can offer many solutions and laughs.
Because dreams can be really weird, I don´t remember the strangest one, but the other night I was flying around over a city , sitting in a chair. :D

Well, I can't decide....it's either:

the dream where I was flying away and saw my own funeral from above and was "zapped" back into reality by awakening

the dream where I saw the end of the world or possibly the future world with oceans full of radioactive green waste and where I was riding around in a go-cart being chased up a mountain by some weird robot :confused:

or the dream where I was in my old room on a chair scared half to death of a RAT that was hissing at me and had eaten half my right shoulder.....and my dog was next to me barking at the rat:eek:

I dunno, they all seem pretty far out to me so I can't decide:(

Well, I had one tonight and they are much more vivid then the regular ones, for some strange reason. I´m not going to write down the whole dream, but it was long and had a story and involved swollen feet, swimming, rollercoaster riding, souvenir shopping , meeting long lost friends , having an argument with a stranger..and it was all packed togehter in one long story, and yes, there was a golden train too. :)

Ana, those where really freaky too....

I don´t know who talked about the 5 min dream that lasted for a whole night, but anyway...

I wonder what's the true nature of time... :rolleyes:

Once I had about 5 dreams each one had the duration, in the conventional time (people awake) of 1 or some minutes but in the dream it appeared like hours...
I had a looooong day.
It happened since about 9:00 or 10:00 AM until about 10 minutes later... :p

My dreams are not usually weird...

The last weird dream I remember was one where all people I know was in different bodies... For example, my teacher speaking inthe body of a friend... and so on... And suddenly, when I woke up, half of myself was outside my body. That was my second OBE... (interseting... a dream about bodies and spirits triggering an OBE...) ;)

There was another one where I was taking pictures of an unconventional UFO. It has a kind of unusual form... And the UFO was posing for me to photograph it... :p

To be someone powerful.

what is the weirdest thing youve seen in your dreams?

That I was the dreamaster and could control your dreams as well as everyone elses.

I always remember my dreams. All of them are weird and very nice. I can have great sensations and learn things with them.

I am learning lucid dreaming and i can tell thats one of the most amazing dreams that i had. Really goo, flying in a lucid dream its priceless!

Mazes, unbelievable lands, puzzles

One that first comes to mind is me climbing a great big mountain of rotting human corpses in the center of my city.

The scariest dream I had was without doubt a dream where I felt like I was awake, in that I was concious but my eyes were seeing a different room, that was really dark, but I could make out a shadow of someone moving towards me. Despite being concious, I could not move or scream until suddenly my eyes could now see my familiar room and I could move again.

P.S. Is it just me or do you have fewer dreams when you get older? I don't know if it's because I've had insomnia since my late teens which results in fewer more memorable dreams or if it's just a result of age. But most of my most interesting dreams seemed to have happened as a child and in my teens.

It's not anything that happens IN my dream which is the oddest, instead, in some occasions, my dreams symbolize future events....... no kidding.

I dream about loads of things--last night I dreamt that my hair had grown back in patches (I'm a slap head) and I didn't like it.

For interest's sake, I disagree with the person that said cannabis stops you from dreaming, that is absolute pap. I smoked 10 j's a day for 30 years and never had a problem dreaming, sleeping or eating properly. I have read that sleeping pills prevent you from dreaming or maybe it's a mixture of amphetamine and sleeping pill use that does it.

My favourite dreams are when I can lift both legs off the floor and hover :cool:

Kenny: i still have so many dreams as in child/teen, but know it seems that i dont have so much beautiful dreams. Thats the only difference. To be honest, i think that now i have much more dreams than before.
