Dreams, are your dreams lucid or vague? Options

[Ibis]

Since some of us like to discuss our dreams, I've started this thread as a place to post them. Will say more later since we have to go grocery shopping right now at the Dream Capitol of Commerce = WALMART! I get to see the fall fashions ... yay!!

DREAM CENTRAL:

I'm remembering my dreams really well these days, they're becoming like movies. Thewy're getting really epic, too. Last night I had a dream I was an illegal immigrant, and my brother and I were climbing this gigantic wall into the united states with millions of other people (of mixed races, it was sort of futuristc) and this weird monster jumped up and started killing people. It was exhilerating.

Sounds like the future to me If genetics is researched really heavily... Imagine the insane possibilities.... maybe that's not such a good thing, especially with the monster making...

My dreams are always freaking hilarious. They're usually with quite a bit of futuristic elements in them. You won't believe how often I've been chased by aliens in my dreams. Best part is, if they get too tough and scary, I just switched to 'dream-control' and show them that hunting a kid in his dreamworld is a BAD IDEA. With some practice, I'm basically god when I'm dreaming. I love it!

And my day is going fine. We had some rain again like usual, a thunderstorm and a good meal.

Ohhh Doomed .... let's make a dream thread so we can discuss this more fully. Now remember more, what kind of monster? What mix of nationalities? But I'll make a dream thread and we can answer there.

On a much more boring note can you believe I had a retro dream and everyone had gone back to the cowboy craze and was singing and dancing to Gene Autry records?? This song that I can't remember the title too is still haunting me now I'm awake. Mind you, I think Gene Autry was popular when I was like one and two years old. So why am I remembering this so vividly now?

Here's a topic of interest ... Lucid Dreaming

I like dreams very much, even though I rarely dream. In recent times however, I've dreamt more often than normal so that can be a good thing. I ussually categorize my dreams into Normal, Creepy (Nightmare) and Happy. My definition of "normal" can seem a bit strange to most of you though. I'll start with Happy:

I recently had a Happy dream. I was at my house in the mountains, but there was something strange about it, there had been a lot of rain recently and that made the stream near my house swell, turning it into a larger pond, which reached my neck at its deepest point. I was standing in front of my house, doing nothing. A guy in a chariot stopped by the house, his chariot was driven by a black horse, and he carried some farm animals in his chariot, a goat, a pig and a sheep. Well, he stopped his chariot in front of the house and started talking to my grandfather who suddenly popped up behind me. As I was watching them talk, I somehow fell in the water. The guy in the chariot started laughing at me, and so did my grandpa. The guy in the chariot went to his chariot and threw something in the water, his animals then started reaching down, trying to grab that "thing". As his goat was trying to reach down it fell in the water. I could see it couldn't swim so I went up to it, trying to save it. I left it to calm down a little so it wouldn't struggle when I grabbed it. After it calmed down, I grabbed it and took it to safety. The guy in the chariot thanked me and left. I felt very good after that dream. Even as I got up I was still smilling like some idiot. I felt a very strange feeling of happiness after I saved the goat. I don't know why.

I also had a Normal dream recently. I was playing some computer game which resembled Aliens vs. Predator but it had some strange elements which also resembled Jurasic Park and Starcraft. I didn't feel as if I was wielding everything from behind a monitor, I felt as if I was actually there. It was a nice feeling, something like reality. The game, or better yet, level started with me in a jeep in the jungle, wielding some large machine gun which was attached to the jeep. Nobody was driving though, the jeep went by itself. It was night and it was raining. I heard something moving about in the trees. Suddenly a giant Tyranosaurus Rex like the one in Jurasic Park emerged out of the forest, and lunged for my jeep. I started firing that machine gun like hell, trying to aim for the big dinosaur. Eventually I killed it, but the same time I managed to bring it down, my jeep crashed in a gate.
I got out of my jeep, strangely I didn't have a single scratch on me, wielding a new weapon which appeared out of the blue in my hands, an assault riffle of sorts. In front of me was a facility of sorts. To describe it more literaly, there was path leading from the gate, with a wall to the left and some buildings to the right, I decided to enter the buildings. They were like a prison, with men trapped to the floor by some weird device. The "floor" was strange, it was made up of bars, like in prison, and underneath were some ravenous creatures. Near me, was a strange device that resembled a computer. It had a timer on it which showed 10 seconds. The seconds then started going down, from 10 to 9 and so forth. I realised that when the timer reached 0 the bars that made the floor would open, and me and my comrade would fall to the creatures beneath.
I quickly pressed a button on the computer which made some devices come out of it. I then started pressing buttons on the devices frantically yet nothing was happening. When the timer reached 5 I desperatelly pulled out the computer's hard drive. That managed to stop it.
I entered the next room. Inside was a dead human with a pistol next to him. It was a bulky Colt 1911. I picked it up and, strangely, I started dual wielding since I seemed to have another pistol in my inventory. A creature then broke down a door in front of me. I quickly cut it down to size with my dual pistols. I then went outside where I found creatures that were like a mix between Predators and Elites from Halo. I fired my pistols at them but that only annoyed them. I then found a strange rifle that fired orbs of energy that followed my foes. As I was firing that rifle, a dropship from Aliens came from the sky. It was firing its machine guns in my direction but I didn't know if it was firing towards me or towards my foes. I could see however that it was crashing, and in my direction!
I started running on the path towards my crashed jeep. The Dropship hit the ground but it was still coming towards me, sliding on the ground. My dream ended as I reached my crashed jeep.

I'll give you an example of a Nightmare later.
