What are your dreams...., What happens when you shut your eyes? Options

[Priest of Sithis]

Hello everyone, before i hit the sack, just wanted to know, am I the only one with weird dreams???

[Zelda_Zealot]

Though I don't dream that often (And remember them even less), I don't think I have ever had a somewhat normal one. I know that I dreamed last night (Actually, it was this morning. I fell back asleep), but I cannot remember even the slightest bit, but I know it was strange. I guess it runs in the family, my sister is always having odd dreams.

dreams are great huh

There is a topic like this burried somewhere, you might get in trouble for ressurecting it (especially after you've already made a new topic) but if you search it then you will find everyone's responces.

My dreams are only a scale between strange and manipulative. You may ask how a dream can be manipulative, well it is me which my dreams are manipulating, they put me in realistic situations, often replaying the day with very minor differances so when I wake up its difficult to distinguish between my dream and actual events. Its a scale so some dreams are more strange some dreams are more manipulative, if it is strange then its easy to distinguish from reality.

[Zelda_Zealot]

I know what you mean Pisces, I have that problem all the time. I constantly finding myself wondering if something actually happened, or if it is just the remant of a passing dream...

I come to find that dreams can sometimes preview life for you,.. has anyone else ever felt a strong sense of deja vu when they wake up and do something?

[Lord Revan]

On the subject of deja vu, I have had moments where someone says something that seems oddly familiar.....

[The Metal Mallet]

Yea, I've had dreams of simple, trivial things that I forget when I awake but they eventually happen in real life and then I remember them. Most of the time the time between the actual dream and the event happening is quite long, years even. It's really strange but I always find it neat when it happens.

Hopefully that will never happen with a bad dream...

[Priest of Sithis]

I believe that dreams open the true potential of our mind. There is some obscure fact that we only use 10% of our brains, and when we dream, our brains become more active. That is why reality seems backwards in our minds, because we are the only creatures on earth that have mental activity during sleep.

[milanius]

Nothing.
When I finally shut my eyes after a long, exhausting evening, the only things that come to me are worries and regret. They prevent me from sleeping most of the time... sometimes though, I experience most amusing, collage-like dreams which make absolutely no sense. Few days ago I had one like that, involving sewers and a horror-like atmosphere. Don't remember much of it, though [I usually forget my dreams almost instantly after waking up].

There was a dream I had where it was a movie about a scientist and his family going to this lab, and through the whole thing there was no action, just trying to figure out what this crazy professor was talking about some monkey. At the end, the wife and him were washing their hands in the bathroom (same one. It was the "Both's Bathroom") and then a giant ape appeared behind them, and when about to hit them they dodged at the speed of light, and ran with the two kids to this exit. The ape pulled out a gun and shot them all, and the dad said "WHAT THE HEAULL".

Yeah...

i recently had a dream i was a heroine addict and had quit cold turkey. i was suffering from some serious withdrawal in a bathroom somewhere and this certain someone who means very much to me stayed by my side and comforted me. a warming feeling, if the pretense was a bit odd.

if i understand, withdrawal symptoms from heroine reach the point of being physically painful. and quitting cold turkey (straight up stopping a habit all at once, rather than easing out of it) can be potentially dangerous to ones health.

Sleep is my only saviour right now, with work being a pain and the girlfriend nagging.....

Which brings me to the point I wanted to talk about.

Do any of you feel as if maybe time works in a big circle and when you sleep you drop out of the circle to experience past or future events? I went to beg last night and dreamt about a police officer stopping me and asking me if everything was okay.... a little weird......but I went to work last night and a cop stopped me. He came up to my window and he didn't even ask for license or registration, he just stared me in the eyes and said, "You look sick, son, ya' okay?" I stared at him for a moment and then asked him, "I'm sorry officer, but what was the problem?" He just looks at me and says, "Nothing, you're driving fine. Just wanted to check up on you. Have a nice day."

Weird.

[Pisces]

I believe that everyone sees glimpses of the future, be it through divine power, time-space fold or the hidden potential of the subconscience mind. People just vary in how they choose to interpret such events and the ability to recall/listen to them.

Of course, tv psychics are still a scam.

EDIT: Still trying to predict the lottery numbers.

Ah, the old feeling of deja vu. I have that all the time, but I never really know till it's happening or has happened which kind of makes it useless. Knowing when I'm going to fall down the stairs would make life so much easier. I would take the elevator.

As for my dreams, they tend to be amusing but also pretty crazy. There is a trend though. Usually it involves big robots and some magic. Meh, I've probably been watching and playing Super Robot Wars a bit too much lately. I guess I can't help it. SRX is just too cool to ignore.

If it doesn't involve robots, it involves starships. The single exception to this rule is the nightmare. For some reason, my nightmares always have me sitting in a class and screwing up a test a lot or getting a ridiculous low mark back, like the -4.5 I once had. That in a system that goes from 2 to 10. Once I figure out it is aq dream though, I get up and walk out of class after which I get........giant robots.

[Lord Revan]

Yeah, I get Deja Vu feeling every now and again. Nothing really important (not like falling down a flight of stairs) just a conversation or something before it happens.... I haven't dreamed in I don't know how long.

[Channler]

Forgive me, but while yalls dreams sound rather.. depressing. Mine are actually rather fine.

As they entail usually sex and food. Nearly 95% of the time they are one or the other.

That...I may say, is a very healthy way of dreaming!

[Wolfie]

Weirdly enough, I very rarely have dreams. And on the occasions I do, I always wake up before they finish, which is mighty irritating.

[The Metal Mallet]

I'm pretty sure I enjoy the dreams that I have. And I experience what Wolfie does. I wake up before they end and I wish I could just go back to sleep to finish it. Ohwell, life carries on.
