Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm sure everyone here could beat the s**t out of me.

all men dream... but not equally

My dreams are like this too.

Anyway, I think I nearly remembered a dream last night, but I don't remember it now. :/

I wish I could do lucid dreaming. I sometimes realize my dreams are dreams, but when I try to do something (usually I attempt to fly) it doesn't work and the dream fades away.

Does anyone else have dreams where you wake up during them, but they still run on? I often still see and hear things from my dreams as if they were real when fully conscious, open eyed and awake. Used to really piss me off when I was younger and the nightmares continued into my conscious state.

Other things: I see in full colour, I can feel pain, as for smell and taste, there was this one time when I knew I was dreaming and saw a glass of cola in the dream. I drank it to see if I could taste it. I did kinda taste it. It wasn't a very strong taste though.

Edit: Well, I can't resist talking a whole lot about dreaming, so I'll continue.

When I was a kid I had nightmares pretty much every night. It got to the point where I was afraid to go to bed because of them. Two I remember very clearly which were very realistic and I got very often were these: The first was about a dinosaur. And now that I think about it, there were 3 main nightmares, not two. So in the first dream, I'm in bed, and I hear a thumping coming up the stairs (could be noise coming in from real life) and this T-rex appears at my bedroom door and roars at me. This dream made me scared of the thumps made when my dad walked up the stairs as I wasn't sure if I was in the dream and the dinosaur was about to appear or if it was real and just my dad. Then there's the second dinosaur one starring the same dinosaur. This time the dinosaur is chasing me out of my room, down the stairs, and right at the bottom of the stairs it grabs my legs. I'm holding onto the end of the banister, so I have a view into the kitchen. I see my mum doing the washing up in there. I call for help urgently and she just ignores me. Sometimes the dinosaur would eat me. Yes, it was very painful. The third is another one which starts in my room. For some reason I feel the urgent need to go into my parent's bedroom. I go in and taking up the whole room and roaring at me is a red dragon. Yup. Weird. The two dinosaur dreams kinda gave me a dinosaur fear as a child. The natural history museum in London has a big anamatronic t-rex which scared the ******** out of me when I first went there and I just ran away from it leaving my family behind. I was even crying. biggrin

Edit 2: Just remembered the final dream I had with the dinosaur in it. This time it was set in a fictional cheery town my head had created. The dinosaur was there. I stood in front of the dinosaur and shouted at it, telling it things like I wasn't afraid of it. It flinched and recoiled and eventually ran away.

Also, can anyone else escape dreams if they want to? I can by first realizing I'm in a dream then scrunching up my eyes until the sounds fade. I usually open them to find myself awake, but one time I just ended up in a nightmare that started in bed and I swore it was real. That was ******** scary.

So... Death.

Yeah, pretty much.

i had the weirdest dream yesterday

i went to an anime convention...
...and i was crossdressing

and a girl thought i was a guy and almost kissed me

but it turns out the girl was actually a hot guy who was a cross dresser

and then the guy turned into a panda

then a zombie pikachu ate me

and then i woke up o.o

Had another dream I can remember last night. I was in this video game shop I guess. They had some weird event on. It was kinda like some sort of convention. Anyway, the only thing I remember doing there is playing Kinect. I was playing some snowboarding game. So I put my arms out in front of me and ran around the Kinect booth like I was driving a car. I jumped back in front of the screen as my snowboarder stopped. The I walked away. Somebody behind me called me and I looked around. I had gotten a high score on the game. Huh. Kinect sure does suck. Anyway, I then began to walk out of the shop and looked over the things they were selling. Then I saw the Star Wars Christmas Special on VHS. I picked it up and squealed with joy, as in this dream I thought it was super rare and valuable. (Is it?) So I bought it for £1.50 (how can they charge that much for such a piece of wookie s**t?) and ran outside. I met one of my friends outside and I asked him how much it was worth. He didn't know. I don't remember what happened after that.
