I had a dream the other night that I was skiing with some friends and we stopped on the slopes to have a chicken sandwich. I am a vegetarian so it made me queesy. The bazaar thing was the next day I ordered a sushi role that was supposed to be tofu but was chicken. That hasn't happened to me the whole 2 yrs I have been a veg.

hmmm.. this is my first post in the dream thread...I just can't seem to get this dream outta my head so here it goes....

I was in a small room sort of like a dorm or something because I remember standing in the hallway and there were just tons of room. I don't exactly remember what was coming, but there was something so we were all hurrying to gather our things and get out. I don't know who I was with at this point but the next thing I remember is Vamp and 40 . I could see them through the window driving to the compound. I remember thinking I hope they make it.

Ok, this is the part of the dream that freaks me out. I woke up wimpering and crying after this....

I am standing in the parking lot of a supermarket. I don't know where I've never seen it before. I walk in, in search of my fiance, Dankman. Annelicious is with me. Suddenly mass confusion is going on and people are running everywhere. I look at the line to get in and then look at the counter and realize I don't have the right currency. I think there were three or four boxes with different coins or paper in them. I realize I can't get in and freak out. I run outside and grab Annie. All I can do is stand in the middle of this parking lot hugging Annie with my eyes closed. Even now I can remember the feeling of saddness and desperation as I stood there eyes closed praying for Dank to come back.

Next thing I remember I am sitting in a truck on Dank's lap. oDin and Annie are behind us and I think ninetynine is behind us too. I am sitting there looking at a man I have never seen. oDin is reassuring me we can trust him. We pull up to a check point to get out of town. There are people all around getting beat up and searched. We pull up and my cousin and his wife are sitting there, being held at gun point being made to search vehicles. He looks up at me with sad eyes and waves us through.

Then I suddenly switched places with him. For a brief second I saw the truck I was sitting in driving away (it was red I don't know if this matters). Then I am back in the truck looking at my cousin and his wife walking up the street with a guard behind them. I started to cry because I realized that he had just saved my life and was going to die for it.

I woke up confused wimpering and crying. I can still remember all the emotions throughout this dream. It was one of those dreams that just seems like real life, too real to be a dream.

Anyways, thanks.

Re: Dream Thread [Re: JacquesCousteau]

Hey mister Cousteau (btw why did you choose this name?) i'm not particularly advanced in lucid dreaming, but since no one has answered your question yet, I think i might be able to help you.

I think the lucid dream you had was probably one of your first LD because it shows that you are not yet in control of what you do in your dreams. See in my first lucid dream, when I realized I could do whatever I wanted to, the first thing I tried to do was to fly. So I jumped and tried to fly, but I just landed back on my feet.

I asked from some advice here just as you did, and the answer I got was that i had to try to imagine I had some sorts of rocket propellers under my shoes that could make me fly. And so, I did that the next time I lucid dreamed and it worked, I flew.

This next part is going to be hard to explain, but see, I think that in order to control what you do in your dreams, you have to go further than simply having the will to fly for example, because when you do that you haven't told your mind that its possible to do it, part of your mind still thinks that you can't do it, so you don't. What you need to do is to realize that the dream, even though it seems like reality, is all in your head so you are the creator of it, so its YOUR reality that you can manage however you want.

It might sound complicated like that, but it isn't. It isn't hard to do, and you get better at it everytime.

Now if I could have given advice to you the day before you had that dream in your car with the cops, I would have told you to just imagine that your seat belt would break under the pressure of your body trying to go upwards, or even better you could simply have flown through it! You just have to tell your mind that you can.


And also, about dreaming being some kind of reflex thing. Everyone should be able to relate with you. when you are not lucid dreaming, you are just a robot under the influence of your subconscious. Everything you do is just an unconscious reaction to what's going on in your dream. totally normal stuff. its also an interesting thing to notice when you wake up from a dream, just to realize that you've been sleepwalking in your dream the whole time...i find that this kinda stuff makes you wonder on the nature of awareness. Good thinking source.

What's up with the fear man? You say alot of stuff like escape, panic, running away in your post. I know its unconscious, but you should be able to analyze in what way the fear you encounter in your dreams relates to your waking life. I'm no dream analyzer. even if what you do in your dreams is a reaction, it shouldn't be a panicked reaction.
I don't know, i guess my advice to you is to think to yourself before you go to sleep to fight whatever you are afraid of, confront your fears, and that there's no need to be afraid.

That's all, hope i helped
Peace

That's the thing though, comparing how i act in dreams to how I act in real life is like polar opposites. I've learned to be quite aware in real life, but my dreams are pure robot-land. This is why I identify the egoic nature of my dreams, because it contrasts strongly to my daily life.

What I seem to fear in dreams is death, capturing, injury. I see what you are saying about how it "should" reflect my waking life, but what I'm saying is that I'm no longer under the control of my ego during most waking days. I do not fear anymore.

This is why it is strange that I am so egoic and fearful in most of my dreams.

The problem with saying "you just have to realize" this or that in a dream, is that I'm already IN automation mode.. it's like I don't even stop to think, so how can I realize something?

The only way I managed to get lucid enough to fly through the roof (and still be held down by the seatbelt.. by the way, your relation to that part was very helpful.. I hope I will be aware enough to try to incorporate that concept next time) was to wake up and go back to sleep into the same dream like 4 times. Since I was falling asleep so immediately each time, I was able to say to myself "Okay, this is the gameplan:" immediately before.

The problem is, this is a very rare situation.. 99% of the time I'm "already dreaming" when I'm in a dream.. like I'm already automated, and therefore not actively thinking things through logically.

So ive been really stoned a lot lately and normally I dont recall dreams when i smoke atmost 4 hours before bed...but acouple nights ago somethings, very vivid at the moment now a little hazy, I had this amazing dream.

I read something about metorite shower coming soon or something that day.

In my dream Im looking up...and at first seeing the most beautiful sky ever... It appeared as though thousands of little "shooting stars" all diferent colors all diferent streaks of color. Its so hard to describe what i saw it was awe inspiring... so vivid so perfect with streaks going across and  i recalled reading about the meteor shower, in my dream. At this point im watching and sorta zooming in on this beautiful object streaking brightly across the sky. It turns into a rocket...and kind of twists and turns then i look forward in front of me....and im at a playground...in front of me is a little baby which when i imagine or try to think of the thought "disgust" comes to me...it was very ugly/demented looking...I continued onto the playground...end dream

Sunsets in dreams rock too. :stoned:

Late for guitar lessons cus i got stoned and started typing this :tongue2: :jamming:

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here, when you become lucid in a dream, it means that you realize that you're dreaming, you're not in automation mode anymore, you're in control, that's why its called lucid dreaming. 

Quote:

:confused: Like i said in the first post, everyone who dreams and who isn't lucid goes through their dreams in this "automated mode". Maybe you have a wrong idea of what lucid dreaming is. Its not like you go from waking life straight to lucid dreaming. First you are dreaming like usual, and then something happens, like you realize that something is weird, and you go "wow, im dreaming" and therefore from then on you are not automated anymore.

I think i'm right if i say that this was your first lucid dream, I strongly suggest you find a good website that gives information on what lucid dreaming is and how to do it more often. This will make your chances of lucid dreaming raise alot. All you need is a little more experience, then you'll understand what it is i was trying to tell you.


As for the fear in your dreams, maybe it is related to past experiences in your life that you are afraid to deal with, that you are trying to forget or that have deranged you but that you are unwilling to acknowlege. Again, i'm no dream analyzer, only you can find out, and its not like their is THE solution to your problem.
But you can't go on thinking that you're no longer in control of your ego, your ego can always come back under a different form without you noticing it.
Constantly analyze what you do, how you react to things and people, and what you think.  Always be on the lookout for thorns growing in your mind so that you may pick them off. Meditate if you're not doing so already.
PEace out  :stoned:

eh, how to better explain...

first of all, this was not my first lucid dream. I've read a good deal about them, and I understand the meaning of the term. I've had several, spaced out over the years.

The problem is, even when I realize I am dreaming, it's like I am not "fully" lucid. I go "Jeez, this isn't right.. must be a dream" then that's it, no more thinking... just goes right back to automation mode after. Like I can't STAY lucid, I guess you'd say.

And trust me, as I said before, I know myself. I know my history, and I have confronted my fears. There are no big bad skeletons in my closet anymore. I practice meditation during day to day activity on a regular basis, as it has been the only way for me to overcome the depression I used to suffer from.

Also: I'm aware of the fact that "when you think you've got it beat, it's got you beat" when it comes to the ego... but the fact is, I have drastically more control over how my ego effects me than I used to. I have done radical improvement in the way my brain works, and I do sincerely believe that I am very good at identifying when my ego is controlling me and when it is not.

To quote you: "Constantly analyze what you do, how you react to things and people, and what you think. Always be on the lookout for thorns growing in your mind so that you may pick them off."

I live by that sentiment. I always "keep an eye on my mind" so to speak. This is why I find it so strange that I have no grip on my ego in my dreams. I know it's easy to write someone off as confused, but trust me when I say that I've been down the confused road in waking life and it is a part of my past now, nothing more.

So anyway. Back to the subject at hand--it seems that through this conversation I've determined the problem and a better way to word it:

Several times over in dreams I have become lucid for a moment, but then it quickly slips away as soon as any kind of distraction occurs.

So the question is: How do I keep it from slipping away?

I always have odd dreams about killing people and my gf cheating on me or me cheating on here. Three nights ago I had a dream me and my g/f got in this brutal sword fight and she was literally trying to kill me and I had no choice but to kill her. So I had her pinned on the ground and I shoved my sword where I thought her liver would be....didn't work. Did it again like 6 times and she was still crying in pain. So I shoved my sword into her heart and twisted it and she coughed up blood and died. I ran upstairs ( this all took place in my grandfathers house for some reason) and stopped halfway up them and broke down crying because she was gone....then I woke up.

Here is a reoccuring dream of mine:

I have a reoccuring type of dream:

In these dreams, I am being chased by a male (it's always a male) authority figure, and it is up to me to elude and decieve him to escape from him. I often turn into a flying creature, or a creature that can go below ground. He never catches me, but he always comes desperately close. The few times he does catch me, I always escape and then the chase begins again. I have these 'escape dreams' consistantly, about 3-5 times a week. Sometimes these dreams turn violent, and then I become the stalker, brandishing a knife to stab this male authority figure and prevail. But no matter how many times I stab him, he comes back alive a little while later.

I remember up until I was ten I had this reoccuring dream constantly. It started and I was on my grandpas back porch and there was an old man there and he was very very sad holding a styrofoam cup with a dandelion in it. I felt so bad for him I walked up and started dropping dimes in the cup for him and he began to cry. Then the dream would flash to me being outside of a spaceship like apollo 13 frantically trying to fix it but I couldn't do it no matter how hard I'd try..then it would change back to the other dream. It would go on like this til I woke up in my bed sweating crying and screaming. Odd.

Well I don't think I can help in this area because I've never had any problems like that when I LD, usually when I realize i'm dreaming, its such a great and intense thing that i wouldn't let myself fall back into robot mode. Maybe its just that you're not all that interested in LD, so when you realize that you're dreaming you're like, "eh, whatever". Cuz i can tell you that i'm really emotionally attached to the experience and i think about it every day.


Last time I lucid dreamed, something kinda similar to your dream happened. As i realized i was dreaming, i started doing stuff, but i had a hard time holding on to the dream and not waking up. Two or three times during the dream, i went from lucid dreaming to being back in my bed with my eyes closed.I think it was because I was almost TOO aware, aware that i was in this strange place and that i was lying in my bed at the same time, or something like that. What I did when this happened was that I concentrated very hard to go back in my dream, and it worked.

So maybe this is your answer: concentration. Next time, concentrate on being concentrated  :wink: Its an active process.

Irijes-
I have recently been having a bunch of dreams (like 5+) in which the govt. is "taking over" or something to that degree...always with situations like yours...people running...searches, troops...trying to find an escape route...

In fact just last night I dreamed that the govt. had come in and lockdowned the city I live in (major northeast one)...I had to gather my shit up quickly and try to escape with a friend. The dreams are always filled with this sense of urgency and almost fright...like I need to get the hell outta there...we spent the dream running around...mostly running from troops and hiding...then moving on and trying to get out of the city. It was not pleasant.

Now I will admit I have been a lil' worried about the government's current potential(if you don't know what I'm talking about, look into FEMA and the Presidential Executive Orders passed by senior bush in 92 i think)....so I think it has been seeping into my subconscious...

But these dreams have been continuing, and I haven't been thinking about that govt. crap recently at all...in fact barely anything.

I am quite worried about these dreams, and i feel like I will be a fool if I don't pay attention to these....

I gotta get out of the US man....errrrr
