What exactly is a Lucid Dream?
Also, I rarely remember my dreams anymore. I mostly do on weekends, when my sleep isn't interrupted by the alarm clock.Â
I dunno if you guys can handle some of my dreams, but if you can I'd be only too happy to share. :P I have quite a few on the occassion and I remember some in great detail. I actually have one pre-written, if you'd like a sample.
What exactly is a Lucid Dream?nintendo_warrio
Lucid Dreams are sort of being half awake and half asleep. It's a state in which you're not awake yet, but you're awake enough to control the dream. So for instance, I had this lucid dream once that I was this motorcycle-riding bodyguard for Tim Burton, except Tim Burton was Alice (Alice in Wonderland Alice). Instead of watching my dream take me down the hole after him and the rabbit, I made the...I'm not sure if you would call it conscious or not, but I made the decision to follow him. I had complete control of my body and my vocal chords, and it's so cool when you get to interact with whatever crazy dream you're having and it reacts back. :)
Oh, that one? :P I don't remember it in the great detail I usually do, but alright. So, the dream starts where I had just graduated from college. It was actually kind of weird because graduation took place on this lush grassy plain with flowers sprinkling the terrain. That wasn't the weird part though. The weird part is that beyond that was white, and the sky was white. It was like the grassy plain was the only thing that existed.
Anyways, my dad attends and disturbs my college graduation similarly to how he disturbed my high school graduation. You know, my high school graduation was one thing because we told him where and when it would be, but his presence at my college graduation pretty much means he tracked me there. (In case any of you don't know, daddy is a creep being held back by a few court orders he doesn't listen to.) So I try to put the creepy feeling behind me and just be happy that I graduated.
For some odd reason, I think I took a river to my new house, and my new house was in a tree. The tree had in front of it more lush grass that was less lush and vibrant than the field at graduation. To the left of my tree house was the river, and to the right was a sort of...how do you say...like a penthouse or a small shed of sorts. Now, the sky and background had now gone from pure white to a rusty brown, almost red color. I'm walking over to this shed to do something or other, and guess who shows up and wants to "talk".
I'm not quite sure what happened between then and the next part or what I said, but I was creeped out the entire time and I think something I said made him angry. I'm not quite sure what he said in reply to whatever I said to make him angry either, but whatever it was was a subtle way of saying, "I'm going to kill you now." So he was doing that creepy walk towards me. You know the creepy walk you see in movies where the predator knows they prey has nowhere to run? Like that.
So the way up to my house in the tree was a mix of elevators and stairs. It was a very tall tree, mind you. Although, it was thin, so I'm not sure how it could have an elevator inside it or how it held up the weight of my house. :? Anyways, my dad was scaling the branches, and when I got to the elevator he took an axe to the doors. So I climbed out the top of the elevator and climbed into my house. Now I'm freaked out, and he's comin' up, when I remember that (for some odd reason) I keep a chainsaw in my house.
So my tree house doesn't have a front door and I see my dad on the branch in front of the doorway with an axe. He's on the far side of the branch and I have a chainsaw, so I see him look scared for a second. Then he runs at me, and I chainsaw the branch in front of my door. Branch falls, dad falls to his death, and I go to my graduation party/family reunion where I announce to everyone that daddy's dead. I felt kind of bad about it, but you know, he was trying to kill me, so he had it coming.
That wasn't even the whole dream. It's missing chunks I don't remember. Can handle or was that too long for anyone to read though?
I had this one dream where Leonardo DiCaprio and Juno kidnapped me after I hailed a cab and took me to a hotel where they broke into my head.

Nah I read it, nicely done. Pretty strange dream, but whatever, dreams are always strange. I always find that I think a dream is short, but then I start writing it and it ends up long :P
I had this one last night:
It was like a video game, just I was there, a bunch of people I knew were there too. Some sort of expidetion (sp?) game.. like I guess how Diablo 3 looks, only it was more on ground level, and first person. So anyways we were going around a building that had tons of doors and hallways. There were snakes everywhere huge ones too. We had to kill them, but there was a specifec way to do it, we couldnt just bash them in. We had this long stick with a poison tip, that was effective against snakes.
-I remember one point there was a zig-zagged canal that the snake went through, following someone into the water, then the person started zig zagging to try and lose the snake, so the snake made large long zig zags. Then the hit the wall, and they couldnt get out of the water there, so they turned around still trying to avoid the snake and got out.
-Another part had a snake on spikes... the spikes were inside of the snake, and it was slithering on them. it was like an abbacus I guess.
-then near the end there were all sorts of animals coming after us. little warthogs sheep things.. some of the sheep things were 'snakes' so we could kill them with the stick. the others we could not, so we just ran.
We got outside at somepoint and I jumped into some classic car, and there was a girl in the passenger seat, then the guy who wanted to drive came by, so I jumped in the back and someone else got in the back, and we all drove off..
I really cant remember much of it. It was a cool dream though >>
That's...disturbing. Forest doesn't catch fire? Just this mystery kid? Why are you chasing children anyways? :?
Your opinions are silly :P. stephenage
Compared to everyone else's, I'd have to go with unique.
Mm, lots of snakes. The first part sounds more nightmarish though. Was killin' the snakes an' runnin' an' whatnot fun?RoseFlambe169
In all honesty it wasnt scary at all. and Im scared to death of snakes (once I woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt stop thinking there were snakes in my bed...) It was fun, it was like an adventure game, no different than the likes of Skyrim.
Does anyone else get mass confusion in the middle of the night? A lot of the time I will think I have more than one dog, or that when I close my eyes I am in a maze type store, that I have to exit in order to sleep.. Or, probably the most prominent is thinking Im at work, when starting a new job. I will hear the sounds (like when you cant get a song out of your head) and I'll almost be talking to people to make orders. I tell myself Im just at home, but its weird >>
Ah, same here. Ive woken up and thought it was like a friday and there would be like a test tomorow or something, and then realized it was a thursday. Once I woke up in the living room, and my mom was fixing the drapes or something, and I was like "Are you going to paint those?"
"I think your still asleep"
that confused me so much, though later I found that indeed my question made no sense.
 Cool dreams though, if you do want to remember more, writing them down certainly helps. Just as soon as you wake up and fully recognize what happened in the dream, write it down. Thats cool theyre cinematic though, mine are sometimes, but I think they are normally in the form of video games. Thats really cool that everything is taken really literally. Dont believe thats ever happened to me. I find it quite interesting :P
I really like to listen to music over night and see how it affects my dreams. havent done it for awhile, and I can only do it for a couple nights before I get sick of the music, or I cant remember what night the song belongs to.
Several weeks ago I was having a dream with different phases, but I only remember the one phase for some reason, where I was walking through this room that doesn't exist, but in my dream I conjured it as in my school. As I passed, I saw my theology teacher giving gifts to his nephew for what he told me was his 8th birthday (who I presume to be his mother was standing next to them as well). He got the kid a bunch of stuff I mildly want including Max Payne 1, the God of War Origins Collection, and a bunch of Star Wars expanded universe books. He asked me if he thought the gifts were good, and I said "THESE GIFTS ARE RAD! ...But why are you buying things like Max Payne and God of War for an 8-year-old?" That's all I remember from that strange one.
Good god, Star Wars EXPANDED UNIVERSE?
Your theology teacher must have a secret thing for scarring kids for life.

Cool dream. Its happened to me before where Ive bought stuff in a dream, and then awoken excited, only to recall it was a dream. This one you had though, reminds me of one I had a looong time ago. In all honesty I have no idea if it really happened or if it was a dream. Anyways, I was at church (back when I went to church) and everyone was handing out bags of toys and stuff. The adults were givin gall the kids toys I thought. And I got a bag, and it was"rad" :P there were a bunch of action figures in it, and I was like "BEST BAG YAYAYA!!"Anyways, then this ladycomes up to me, and she lets me know the bag didnt belong to me, but it was giving to me by mistake, and some other kid got it. I think we ended up playing with them for a bit before he left.. So yeah, I dont know if its a memory or a dream >>
I had a dream a few days ago when I was talking to Ifnot on MSN while playing MGS4 (which I actually was doing the night before), except every time I went to type something to him, the computer typed whatever it wanted, using words I would say but in an order that didn't make sense. And every time I looked at the television screen, it distorted. Â

How did the dream Ifnot react to this?
Wow, sounds like you had some lingering apprehension from before the test. Why does everyone tell me college history classes are easy? Are they really easy? 'Cause my AP history in high school was just short of murder.
I hit my head before I had this dream, so I don't know if it was the cause, but I dreamed that my parents kept sending me on errands, and I kept falling asleep and waking up in this plastic house. (Three times, to be specific. And, you know those plastic houses with nothing in them that you buy for children to play in or see at playgrounds? That kind of plastic house.) The first two times I woke up alone in a chair, with a vague memory that my mom had told me to sit in the chair, and push it and the house back with my feet all the way down the highway and back to our house. Except, I couldn't remember if she'd actually told me that or I'd dreamed she told me that. The third time I woke up and there were two girls inside the house with me, saying that they just woke up too and couldn't be seen going outside in their pajamas. The third time I also had a cell phone with me, and then I woke up for real after some sort of motorcycle ride...
Ack! I keep having dreams about school and graduation and my former classmates! There's something terribly wrong with me. Make it stop!RoseFlambe169
I get those too. I normally return to my school after an absense, and get to talk to my friends again, its always all good. >>
and Ifnot. That works for me too, I think its becuase for 1, you are consious for a moment, and 2, you wake up in the middle of a dream before you are able to forget it.
 Last night I had a dream there was an alarm... a fire alarm or something going off, at work I think. Today I found out that last night, the fire alarm went off for about 15 mins at work and no one knew why
That's the problem...I had no friends in school. D8 I hate those kids! I want them out of my head!
:o I didn't know you were psychic! And that's really weird. There was a fire across the river over here today. Maybe the alarm went off over there in anticipation for the fire over here?
I had this dream when I was 10 or 11. I was having a pool party in my backyard with all the WWF Divas (hot wrestling babes). They were all naked. My parents were in the dream and luckily weren't naked :P . They were grilling hamburgers.Â
 Probalby the most vivid dream I have ever had. Tell me if this was too personal :lol:Â
