... WARNING! ... If you read this thread you might expand your mind.. FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS THINK AND SURF!

In light of a conversation starting on #ja, I have decided to start a thread to contain my rantings and ludicris ideas on life and the world around us.
View this post at your own risk!!
---------------------------------------------

Dreams... we all have them. Some people cant remember them, but we all have them. They are essential to our existance.
Dreams are a by-product of our body's regeneration process that happens when we sleep. It is essential to our survival and our growth as humans, to dream every night.

Just because you dont remember your dreams, doesn't mean you dont have them.

Have you ever had a dream about a situation that hasn't happened yet? Something simple, like getting mail from an old friend you haven't talked to for a while, or something more complex like about your later-life?

Have you ever dreamed something and then it happened? (not deja-vu, but a pre-cognitive dream about a situation)

I think everyone has had this happen atleast once or twice in their life. The more you WANT to become aware of your dreams, the more you will be able to control your dreams, and control your destiny.

Try this experiment:
Before you goto bed (on a night that you can sleep in the next day) set your alarm for 3 hours and 30 minutes from the time you goto bed. The 30 minutes is to allow you to sleep, and the 3 hours is the first 2 cycles of sleep (into deep sleep, REM state and back out).
Put a notepad and a penicil next to your bed. All ready to write down when you wake up.

Before you sleep, think about something you want to dream about. Pick an adventure for you to go on. Plan to dream about being a Jedi Padawan and heading out to the outer rim on a reconnisince mission. Then lay down and focus on that. Think only about being a jedi, and going on your mission. Keep thinking of this until your fast asleep.

When you wake up, grab your pencil and start jotting down just some ideas about your dream.
DONT take too long, be awake for only about 2 minutes tops. Then turn off your alarm and go back to bed.

When you wake up, read what you wrote, and see if you remember more about the dream now.
See if the dream has now become a memory and a part of you.

Try this for 2 nights in a row (on a weekend maybe) and tell me what your dreams are about.

You wont nessisarily dream about what you wanted to, but write it down anyway, that is part of the test. See what your brain ended up coming up with when your sleeping.

I look forward to making this a good thread to follow.

I had about 3 nightmares in one night about 2 days ago, as in you wake up from each one then go back to sleep to have another happen again. There's only one I totally remember fully though.

*I wake up, but through the blinds on my window in the room it's not the normal morning glow, its like a red/orange haze glow. I step into the living room and the sky is like in the game oblivion when you're near an Oblivion portal, or like mustafar sky or something.

I'm staring through the big glass window in my living room, and (for some reason) I see like a tornado that is way up in space made of fire, even though space can't have fire because it needs oxygen, weird. there's two actually, with there bottom ends hitting eachother connected by a huge blaze of space dust and "fire". So one is upside down, while the other is right side up.

There so big infact that I can see stars start to move and swirl around the two bottom-end connecting space tornado's. I basicly realize the universe is doing some unknown thing we can't comprehend so I say to myself in my dream, "Well this is the end of existance, get ready to say bye bye".* Then I woke up.

Pretty weird huh?! :eek: :P

I have the same dream as Vasper pretty often. Not lately tho, but many, MANY times I've been falling down from our balcony (4th floor, apartment complex) and weirdly: I don't wake up when I hit the ground. I survive it and feel like I just ran in to a wall, nothing too bad, just like a tackle or something. I get up and walk away. Weird stuff.

I also have this dream about flying often. I used to be a competitive swimmer for 11 years, and I kind of 'swim' in the air. Like do the same moves and the air works like I'm used to water working. Really strange, but tons of 'fun', if you can call it that.

But yeah, have to try that thing, writing down whatever comes to mind immidiately when I get up. I've done it once or twice but just because it was a dream so weird I wanted to tell my friends. Anyweh, do this stuff dudes, it's awesomely fun to read when you've been up for like 5-6 hrs, and you check the paper for what you dreamed of. Some short parts always come back to you, really weird stuff. And I'm very drunk, so don't mind me, and I'm off to bed, so cya and keep on dreamin' you little Jedi's. Like so and so and so and yup. And off we go, aight. like so, yaknow?

My most common dreams is that I'm falling. And despite what people say, I always hit the ground, then wake up.

I think dreams are a way for our minds to deal with things that they can't in conciousness.(spelling) Your subconcious is constantly going thru the info in ur brain. Awake and asleep. Have you ever tried to remember something, but couldn't? then 2-3 minutes later your not even thinking about it and the answer just POPS into ur head? Thats because your Subconsiouns is still searching for the answer, even though your not aware of it.

I think Human dreams should be studied in great depth. Theres alot to be learned.

In the last couple weeks I've had about five dreams based on going to hell, being in hell, striking deals with Demons, or being involved in a process of judgement which determines the severity of one's punishment in hell. It's really rather odd.

Last night I had a dream that I was in my old jr high school, and me & one of my ex'es were going to our science class (that was the only class we had together.) The school was completely empty except for us two. For some reason I held out my hand, and for some reason he said, "ooo yeah I saw you hold out your hand and try to kill me."
So then I said something like "ooo I'll kill you" then a large trout appeared in my hand, but he was gone. So then I ran down the sidewalk and saw a tree in the middle of it. I said, "I know you're inside that tree!" so then I started slapping the tree with it.
Then a bunch of carrots fell from it. He spat on one of the carrots and then a policeman drove up and said "hey, you're not allowed to bring spit to school" so then hundreds of policepeople got out of the car and started beating him with nightsticks and carrots. After that, my large trout disappeared and I was like "hey where'd my trout go" so then, suddenly, we were at a school dance and I kept on asking people if they've seen a large trout. There were a lot of sunflower seeds on the ground. Then a bunch of guys started sticking balloons up their shirts. Then my shoes went missing, and then a guy walked up to me and said "I'll give you king level if you dance with me."
but I started crying and said "I don't want king level" because I was too busy missing my shoes.





odd.
SCRATCH THAT. LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM THAT I WAS DREAMING ABOUT DREAMING BUT THE DREAM BECAME SO BORING THAT I FELL ASLEEP AND STARTED DREAMING AGAIN.

OMG! The weirdest thing happened yesterday!!!

I was lying in my bed, thinking about this girl I really really like, hoping I'd dream about her. But here's what I actually dreamed about: My dad, some friends of mine and I were in this gun shop in Japan. I thought about buying a gun, and the shopkeeper said I could try it before I bought it. We went to another room, where there were a lot of kids that were trying different weapons, like bow and arrow and samurai swords. I remember I said to the shopkeeper that I wanted the samuraisword instead, then I woke up.

Two Saturday's ago, I took a visit to heaven (not lucid, but almost). It started off with me at my friend's house and all of a sudden, walking through a room. There was a window to the left and I could see a road and many trees. Then, I saw my youth minister. He was wearing white robes and wore a sign saying "Not an Employee." I ignored the sign and had a little chat with him.

Next, I went to the next room. It was a cave like room with a wide, strong curve of a way up instead of steps. Well, I took off right for it and started running up it. Once it got so steep that I wasn't going up anymore, I jumped. I was flying, but so slow it was even recognizable. Once I hit the ceiling, I fell back down and slid down the curve. The next time I tried it, I ran up it without a problem. Of course, the ramp instantly turned into stairs and the room a light light blue color. I laughed hysterically. Oi.

Now, I walked into the next part and saw many people from RL&#8482;. I saw a friend of mine and a girl sitting on a couch playing "The World is Not Enough" for N64. I had a chat with them and told them how I glided up to the top of that one room and slid back down. They were telling me that 'they' were working on it. I brought them to the point of "Aren't we souls? Aren't we perfect?" and they said "Not yet." Well, I watched them for a minute or two and looked up to see an office room. Or maybe it was the cafeteria... A lot of people doing something.

Anyway, I got up, saw some more people, and I don't remember much more.

Last night, I was the Grim Reaper and went one on one with Satan. I was incredibly tall compared to a human. Anyway, there was a spiral staircase I was running down. My sickle / scythe was weird. It had the curved blade part, but the 'hilt' or whatever you'd call it was like in an 'S' instead of a '|' .

So there I was. The Grim Reaper chasing Satan. He's a freaky purple wuss. Of course, I chopped off his head. He picked it up, and I started hacking at him in the library like room. He kinda just stared at me for a sec, then ran off. One time, I chopped his head off, and he punched me and my robes flew off. He ran away again. I sprinted over to my robes and slipped them back on. Crazy Satan...

So, I chased him some more, and we're back at that library thing. The object was apparently the 'heart', area, as that would stun him, but he still got up and ran off.

Methinks those two may be connected, hehe...

I was winning. Satan's a wuss deep down.

How weird, I haven't seen this post in a LOOOOOONG time. And I just had a weird dream last night.

I was at the top floor of a tall building waiting for the elevator with my mother and Condoleeza Rice (I honestly don't know). There was a button next to the up/down buttons that said upgrade on it. I kept on pressing it and Condoleeza Rice asked me what I was doing that for so I started explaining that by "upgrading the elevator", it'll make it get to the ground floor a lot faster. So I hit the "upgrade button" like 10-15 times and then the three of us and a couple of other strangers get in. The doors close and I feel the elevator getting really fast. Then it starts going side to side hitting the walls of the elevator shaft and that's when I wake up.

I have no idea what all that's supposed to mean, especially Condoleeza Rice. I've heard that for the 1st few months after you quit smoking pot you have REALLY WEIRD dreams, and this one certainly was!

it's quite fun and very possible monty. it's like being in a movie and having control over the action and sometimes even willing whatever you want into being. :D you're asleep but very conscious of your actions and surroundings.

It is possible. I remember several times thinking while dreaming. I remember this one time well. I was being hunted by someone. And I thought to myself: ok, I can continue running or wake up. Then I just woke up.

I once dreamed that someone offered me a million dollars to give up my dog and never see him again. I remember no only rejecting the offer in my dream, but starting awake and sitting bolt-upright, trembling with rage at the very idea that someone could suggest that I give up my dog. When I realized that it had only been a dream, I had another thought: From an economic standpoint, my dog is worth a million dollars. At least to me his is, by definition, because I really wouldn't give him up even for that money. That I couldn't really find anyone to pay me a million dollars for him is irrelevant: the market price of something is not at all the same as the value of that thing. Since I wouldn't sell him for a million bucks, by definition he's worth more than that to me. All this time I'd been rich beyond measure and didn't even realize it.
