Dreams
Meza:
Mm.. I'm used to dream a lot as a younger - now after I started my studings a year ago, I cant really remember most of the dreams I have. That's annoyin', cause I really love dreams.
It's actually kinda cool and weird, but something like 90% of my dreams are located in this city, which is similiar to my town, but still so much different (geographically). I can almost write a map of it, if I were to see few more dreams from there. At first it was pretty confusing (when I was a kid). I couldnt always notice if I dreamed or not - until I noticed the roads ended totally different that they were used in real live.
And secondly. There has always been this one person in my dreams since years ago. When I wake up, I know it was him/her, but I can't simply remember anything what that person looks like. Only thing I can actually remember, is that he/she is always the same age as me. I remember this one dream really clearly: I had a lots of nighmares - I think I was something like 6-9 years old back then. I hated it. Then in one dream this person came and told me how to weak up: "lay down and sleep". And it actually worked O_O Not only in that dream, but laterly too!
There's another thing about my dreaming: I develop as a dreamer. I have read about it, yes, so I wanna hear your stories too. Here's few examples what I have noticed
The one of the most common ones, ability to wake up when you want. I got more skilled with wakin' up after that person helped me. First it took huge ammount of concentration, but now I simply open my eyes and that's it. Last level? BUT... nowadays I don't really wake up no matter how loathsome the dream is - 'cause I'm scared I miss something if I wake up too early xD
Another example of mine, is about flying. As child, I had this huge urge to fly in my dreams, but I just couldnt. I tried and tried and tried, and then little by little, years after years, I got better. And since few years ago, I can actually fly whenever I want in my dreams o/ And it's easy too. Only problem is to fly straight up with the speed, lol.
I know many ppl who can't control their dreams, but I also know some ppl who can entairly control their dreaming (place, ppl, actions, skills and everything). I did envy those ppl as younger, but now I have really been thinkin' that it may be funnier the way I go trought my dreams. It's like playing a RPG game and getting more skilled o/ But yeah, everyone has their own way to dream - it depends on imagination and the mind of the dreamer.
And what comes to books and interpretation of dreams.. well, I do have a huge amount of books related to dream, but I don't no longer use them as a tool when trying to understand my dreams. It tooks more time time that way, I know. And the explanation can just pop up from nowhere at any moment.
As I said, I have nowadays problems with remembering my dreams - that's cause my way to wake ups are now different than it used to be. When I wake up this morning, everything run before my eyes in lesser than second. Then few hours later, in class room, I did remember for second what that dream was about, while teacher was talking. I think it was some certaind word she said, which made me remember my dream for that short time. No I can't remember a thing about it. It may pop out few days later from now, or then not at all.
Like a week ago, I saw this dream that still freaks me out 'cause I can't understand it. I hanged all my friends one by one in that dream of mine. I can't really think up anything that could explain that dream. o_O;
Is anyone here familiar with sleeping paralysis? (I'm not sure if that's what it's called in english) I have gone throught it twice - first as child then again like a year a go - and I were sick the same time, it was freakin' nasty.
And what about the pain? It's nasty if ya hit the wall or something accidently in yar bed while sleeping, hehe. But yeah, sometimes it makes dreams feel too realistic when your senses are "acting" (they really arent, I think). Smell, taste, touch, argh. Once in my dream I was choking 'cause something that came up my throat. It felt like jelly, tasted and smelled like rotten strawberries. I wonder what in the world was that dream about. There wasn't any signs I tried to eat my pillow while sleeping or anything (and my pillow does not smell like rotten strawberries, lol). I also lost a limb in one dream the way that really DID hurt. I remember it so well. Those two dream experienses have been the most shockin' ones I can remember now.
Btw, do you talk or walk or do anything else freaky while sleeping? :'D
Mom once told me she noticed me sleepwalking only once - and that was when I was like 5 years old. And I seriously think she was jokin since she said she could see my eyes white, lol xD She told me laterly I just came to living room and stand there while she was watching the tv - and I didn't react at all when she told me to go back to sleep. Maybe she had drink or two that night, but geez, that's too much for me to believe. It cracks me up everytime when I remember mom telling this to me.
... no way, how did I end up writing a whole book? :rotfl:
Meza:
I started to read old posts carefully. I'm so not gonna even to try continue to that last post of mine, it's too huge already xD
When I do remember a special dream for more than 5 minutes, I'm sure to remember it trought my whole life. My memory is weird, my imagination has taken too huge slice of it, not much left for more important and daily (they say, doh) things to remember.
Oh, oh. I'm doing a lil research of mine. So I wanna ask ya:
Have you ever seen same dream with your family members or friends?
I seem to share connection or something with my cousin.
I was once talkin' with my cousin (different age, she's 4 years younger) about our dreams. I told her that school-dinosaur dream I saw as elementary kid - and she was shocked and told me back she had pretty much similiar dream as child too. We were both like O_O Details were different but the basics are the same. For me it was Rex, for her it was Bronto. And we went different schools different time.

Don't even talk about it O_O;
I saw once a dream that I sit down on my bed, and when I did that, some spiders fell on the floor from between mattress. And suddenly whole bed turned into thousand black spiders and I just simply drop on them when the bed was a gone. And my bed is huge - and that meant only more spiders to show up. And more came behind my bookshelf.
You can only try to imagine how terrified I felt - especially when wakin' up. Spiders (wolf and bears too xD) are the only creatures I fear for all my life.

Hohoo, so true. I personally think is as a cheating :haha: Especially when ya can't fell a sleep again within few seconds or minutes after that.
Time-Machine:
I learned to fly in my dreams, too! Though it's one of the only things I can control. For the most part my dreams are still really random.
I have had a couple instances in dreams where I get an injury in the dream and wake up with that injury. Only two or three times, but still. I remember once I had a dream where a man was chasing my family trying to inject us with needles that had some sort of life-destroying potion in them. You wouldn't die, you would just kind of collapse for a while, and when you woke up, you would be changed in a really bad way. I'm not sure exactly what it did to you, but I knew it was really bad.
Anyway, this guy had already gotten my Dad, and my little bro and I were hiding behind this table in our garage (it wasn't our garage, but in the dream it was our garage) and the guy was looking around for us, and so I snuck my brother into the house and then they evil guy saw me, and dragged me to the middle of the garage, and he jabbed the needle into me.
Then he ran away after my brother, and I tried to get up and chase him, but I was kind of collapsing to the floor and getting really dizzy.
When I woke up, I had a really painful prick in my arm where the guy had jabbed me with the needle, and it was bleeding really heavily (for a little, pin sized prick) and I was like o.0
Maybe I got pricked by something in my bed, and that triggered the dream? Or something weirder???
I have had a couple dreams that I feel are...not necessarily prophetic, but messages, you know? Like, from some higher power, or some power within myself. Someone in the dream gives me advice, or shows me something I really needed to see. I like those dreams, though I generally wake up a little clammy and shaken.
