Recently I feel like I've remembered most of my dreams - or at least parts of them. It's kind of neat.
Sometimes. Like the other night I dreamt about a woman who had four kids with a man and he also had four kids with her sister. But they were actually a really happy, nice family. And that dream went on for a good while like that before eventually some woman showed up and killed most of the town via giant meat grinder/murderous car wash and the woman's whole family died and she escaped but she lost her baby (she was pregnant) and her arm and she was in rough shape
It was something
I do on occasion. It goes in cycles where I will for a while, then nothing for a while then I will again.
Depends on the dream. Just this past night I had a dream that I possessed Cyclops' optic blast, and Jean Grey's telepathy and I smufted up these kids who were messing with my mom's car while some redhead with a tongue piercing looked on aroused. Prior to a church tower that was so high up the top floor was basically like visiting a space station in zero gravity.
Another dream recently involved me talking with Tommy Wiseau as he told me about the time he met Donald Trump. Ah, to be a fly on that wall.
Then there was the dream where the devil possessed me during an angry rant while I was on a toilet. Yes, I became the Devil on the Crapper.
I also remember a bunch of old dreams, too. Like a series of dreams where my brother would always chase me, but Mom would come in near the end to rescue me and wake me up. A dream where Dad chased me around with dogs. And then one of a serial killer running around and when I tried to scream to wake up I couldn't. I also had a dream that my big toe did a 180 and the toenail was facing the floor whenever I tried to walk.
Interestingly enough the scariest dream I ever had was a reoccurring one where I saw the Grim Reaper walking around in my house.
I almost always remember them, all of them from the entire night, and completely vividly, but within 30 minutes after waking up the memories all vanish without a trace. I really should write them down, but I CBA to.
No, I take too many bong hits.
Yup every single one, I've been lucid dreaming since I was around 10yo, sometimes I get anxious when I can't think of anything to dream about and my dreams become nothing during the nights where I'm too exhausted or when I've run out of ideas of what to dream about.
Most of the time I do, I really enjoy having dreams, because most of the time they are inspiring to me; I am interested in writing, and my dreams can sometimes be translated into "scenes" for what I am writing, albeit with certain things changed to fit in better. Sometimes I think I even remember the process of going from one dream to another, as occasionally I'm sure that the "storyline" of one dream suddenly went into a completely unrelated one.
My favorite type of dreams are my musical dreams; they are basically dreams where a song is playing throughout, and is incorporated into the "storyline" of the dream - it's usually someone singing it, be it myself, someone I know, or even characters from TV (I admittedly dream about TV characters a lot) or a combination of the above - it often looks like a music video of sorts. I'm pretty sure the reason this happens is because I have my radio on for the entire night, so the song in my dream is probably actually playing on my radio at that very moment, more often than not (in fact, I have woken up from these dreams at times, to find the same song is just finishing on the radio). The strangest example of this, is one dream I had which seemed to anticipate that it was going to become a musical dream - there was a whole build up to the fact that a song would play soon, and when it finally did, I started to wake up, and the song was playing. The "storyline" was basically that everybody had to listen at a certain time, and then phone in when the song played, and say what it was, but it was treated like a big deal, with everyone getting ready for it, and standing in the streets when it happened. Oddly enough, the dream started off as being about The Simpsons (who were also listening for the song, I think), and then suddenly it was set in real life.
You lucid dream? Would it be okay to ask you some questions, because I've been thinking of trying it, but I need to ask some things before I do, so I know if I should or not.Quote:

Anyway I was pretty chuffed about having this world record hamster and I was doing things to prove and let the world know about this incredible development. I felt guilty that I hadn't been there for my hamster for most of his life. While I was away some smurfer killed my hamster and I was so angry and started coming up with elaborate torture plans. I don't think I actually came up with any specific plans because I woke up. Even then I was still smurfing furious for the next minute or so.If you ever run out of ideas to dream about please consider dreaming about getting revenge on the smurf who killed my hamster. I feel unfulfilled.Quote:

However, I once dreamed that multiple people and I formed a giant human wheel, rolling throughout the city and filling it with color and life as we passed. People were watching, applauding, as we made progress, our limbs joined together and moving like a giant donut.
I remember most of them. I've had quite a few good ones and a few bad ones because for some reason my brain likes to remind me of traumatic past events I'd rather forget. Thanks brain!
I remember a lot of my dreams and they're always strange.
Last night I dreamt quite vividly about being the unwitting recipient of four hundred and twenty six thousand dollars as part of a strange con. Exactly two hundred thousand of this money was contained within a washed out green duffle bag in a not-secret-enough compartment in the boot of not-my-actual-car. I was most displeased to wake.
Thank you.Quote:

Because, although I would like to lucid dream, there will definitely be some nights where I just want to have dreams which I have no control over, because, as mentioned before, I get inspiration from my dreams, and I won't have that anymore if I am always in control of them, because I'll know what's coming. Also, sometimes not knowing what I'm going to dream about is part of the fun, especially with my musical dreams.
2. Eating cheese is supposed to affect whether or not you dream, and there are times, where I think this has been proven true, for me. Once I am able to lucid dream, should I begin eating cheese before I sleep more, to make sure I have a dream?
3. Have you ever experienced Sleep Paralysis after lucid dreaming? If so, how long does it usually last? Is it safe for someone to attempt to bring you out of it? Can you speak during it? I know that Sleep Paralysis is harmless (in fact, we experience it during normal dreams, we just sleep through it), but I want to know if I should inform people that this may happen. Normally, I live alone, but on the nights when I'm not, I don't want people (i.e. my family) thinking there's something wrong with me if they try to wake me, and it looks like I can't move or speak, so I'd like to inform them that Sleep Paralysis is a possibility, but I'd like to know the details of what to tell them, specifically how long it usually lasts (so on the rare possibility there really is something wrong with me, they don't assume it's just Sleep Paralysis again).
4. How did you learn to do it? I plan on using hypnosis tracks, but I might as well check out what other methods there are.
I think that's it, but if I think of anything else, I'll ask.
1. When I dream I almost always have control over what I'm dreaming but it's almost become a permanent thing now where I can't stop lucid dreaming. The only times I've found myself not lucid dreaming is either when I'm very lethargic from being sick or if I'm extremely exhausted (like doing 2 exams in one day where my brain is fried), very rarely do I have dreams that I can't control.Quote:

2. Honestly I've never eaten cheese right before bed and since I've been lucid dreaming since I was very young, I'm not sure if it would make a difference, I try not to eat anything 2hrs before bed because I get pretty bad nausea if I do D:
3. Oh gosh yes. I get sleep paralysis a lot, usually once every 2 weeks, sometimes days in a row. I can break out of it semi-easily now because I'm used to it. Although I've never had anyone wake me out of it, so I'm not sure about that. When I get sleep paralysis my eyes are open and I can move them, my mouth can open and close and I can breathe but I can't talk at all, I've tried screaming but all I can muster is a wheeze sound, everything else is frozen and I feel a weight on my chest, if I try to get up it feels like something heavy is pushing me back down, even though I'm not actually moving. I hate it, it actually still scares me because you're still half dreaming even though you're awake, so you end up seeing weird trout because you're actually borderline hallucinating/seeings delusions. I always see a shadowy figure near my bed or see it sitting on me. When I was younger I didn't understand so I thought it was ghosts holding me down so I'd try not to sleep, which only makes it worse I've found. I've never timed how long my sleep paralysis takes place but if I were to estimate....probably between 3min - 10min. Sometimes I don't break out of it and end up falling asleep but that only happens when I'm extremely tired.
To break out of sleep paralysis I shut my eyes and purely concentrate on my toes, once I manage to wiggle my toes it completely breaks me out of it.
4. I'm not 100% sure as to how I learned to do it because I was a kid when I first started but I've always had a pretty vivid imagination and I'd spend half the day daydreaming as a kid. I used to get nightmares where the same thing would happen to me over and over each night, which made me dread bedtime, so I used to constantly think of ways for the 'me' in my dreams to get out of the same situation, over time I managed to somehow control how the dream turned out and escaped the bad thing in my dreams, after that I'd imagine other things I could dream about to avoid getting the same nightmare and then somehow I could control my dreams at will. I hope that made sense.
Hopefully, that wasn't too long-winded and vague. Sorry if there's spelling and grammar errors I wrote this on my phone!
Not really, although I dream a lot about dying. And before I go to bed I start to fear dying alone, it's messed up. Dreams rarely have literal meanings and are projections of unconscious thoughts through images seen throughout the day or our life. Which is cool if you are totally open with yourself you can see how your mind works. Once someone sleeps with me I'll die metaphorically, it smurfed up I'm stuck in the middle if my birth death life phase. Long story.
If you tend to dream a lot, I think that you have repressed a lot of your feelings and true thoughts. As they are stuck behind the governing rules of your "superego". It's actually complex stuff.
Goodness, Mr. Carny just had a nightmare that gave me a start just now. He describes it as something like a finishing line, which then turned into a big black snake which was about to rear up and bite him, which is when he screamed and gave me an absolute fright. Problems of sharing a bed with someone I guess. I won't go into what else he does in his sleep. :roll2
As for me, I tend to have the most boring dreams. I dreamed that I was making several cups of squash for people who had just come round to socialize for awhile. That was the dream. Me, making some juice. Gosh my imagination is dull.
