Any dream analyzers out there?

Hmmm, maybe Robusta's dream was about a past life? Maybe you were 'remembering', not dreaming.

Has anyone ever had a dream where you were fully aware that you were in a dream? I had that happen to me once and it was the most exhilarating feeling. But the minute I realized it and then thought about what I'd like to do in my dream, I woke up. My husband has that happen all the time. He says his dreams are amazing and in technicolor with surround sound and smell-o-vision! If I'm lucky, I wake up with at most a warm, fuzzy feeling. His sound like going to see a blockbuster movie.
 

LOL, omg Debby, that's hilarious;) I've had some vivid ones, but don't "remember" color, or sound. I love the flying ones, it feels so real, and I can actually turn and navigate as well, weird, lol;)

Debby, when you know you are dreaming, that is called a lucid dream, a lot of people (including me) aspire to be able to do that. You can really accomplish a lot if you can stay in the dream and know you are dreaming. There are whole books written on that subject. I have one by Robert Moss, I think it's called DreamGates, I'm not home so I can't check for sure.

That's weird. When I dream, I always know I am dreaming. I thought everybody did. Sometimes I can make the dreams go the way I want them to.
 
I too can make my dreams go where I want. It can occur for anyone during certain sleep stages. Our longest and most memorable lucid dreams occur in the fourth and fifth sleep cycles of the night, after about six hours of sleep, during the REM sleep stages. Mine occur just before I wake up.
 
I never watch zombie shows. I hate simulated violence and gore. Porn has more value than that trash! My wife likes them and I am at a loss to understand why.
Why do you want to see and hear mostly women screaming, and being tortured and mutilated? Pretty sick concept in my mind.
I have wondered about the past life concept also, most nights when I am just on the verge of sleep I feel and envision myself drawing back a bow. I have had that notion all my conscious life. I served in the military but never saw combat.

That's the word I could not remember!!! Thanks Linda, yes, lucid dreaming! Had one once, I remember it vividly and I remember that moment I realized I was 'awake' in the dream! "You are awake and you're in a dream! How cool is this! What should I do...." I said and then before I could answer my own question....I woke up :(. I was so disappointed. I don't think I've ever read a book on lucid dreaming specifically, but I've read about them as side topics in books that I've been reading on related topics. Don says he has them quite often.

I believe we lived other lives and sometimes the energy from those experiences 'bleeds' through into our current lives. Not of course for the majority (unless maybe deja vu is also an example of the same sort of thing), but I think for others whatever it is that separates dimensions or era/s is thinner or maybe operates for a moment in a frequency that's closer to ours so people can receive impressions of what's going on 'elsewhere'.

So who knows, maybe you were one of the artillery in an ancient Roman army, or maybe one of Attilla's invading hordes or maybe even you spent time as a First Nations hunter? Maybe that's where your sensation of drawing back a bow could be coming from?

In the last life Deb, You ere Groucho Marx.....*smile*
 
You know Jim, I've always thought there was an uncanny resemblance. I'm just not as funny as he was ;)

But speaking of resemblances, when I was coming home from Calgary, the guy who sat beside me on the plane was the spitting image of my sister in law! I said to my husband, "if W. decided to change genders and become a man.....I now know how she'd look!" Spitting image, I couldn't believe it......same eyes, hair, profile, hair texture, build....all there! That was weird let me tell you!
 
I know this is an old thread but I didn't want to start a new one, and this does have to do with dreams ... specifically, a nightmare.

Just had this one this morning, after a full night of sleep deprivation and a full schedule of worries. I don't usually recall any dreams anymore, let alone one like this ...

I was in a small town that had 2 long cave/tunnels at one end. People were milling around and one guy comes up and gives me a guided tour of the caves. They are well-lit and have little niches inside that are numbered. Keep that in mind.

We emerge from the caves and I'm led to a large garage, where there are 2 dozen boxes piled up on a table, each with a number.

My host tells me my job is to place each of the boxes in the proper numbered niche in the caves, as quickly as possible.

When I ask why, he said "to achieve critical mass".

He starts a huge stopwatch in the middle of the town and, while everyone watches, I start running with the boxes, two at a time, into the caves.

Somewhere around the middle of the box supply the timer runs out. I hear a beeping, then a wailing siren, and everyone mutely turns and looks at me. Suddenly two gigantic, roaring plumes of flame shoot out of the caves, and I see this one young lady up on a raised platform directly in front of the caves become burned to a crisp as she screams and screams, while my host yells at me "You didn't achieve critical mass!"


I woke up swearing and cussing and soaked with sweat.

Man, I hate sleep deprivation. :(

Sounds like to me you got a hold of some bad chit dude.
 
Wow Phil, when does the movie come out?! :love_heart: Makes my weird little dream of the night before last seem very mild and normal. :hair: I was stuck in an elevator alone, but able to talk to a young lady who worked at the store/business, and was able to see her face through a glass.

She said she was communicating with her employers asking advice on what to do. She instructed me to open a rectangular glass door at the bottom of the elevator wall and crawl through there to get out. I looked at the door and was able to open it, but I could see some big ropes that raised and lowered the elevator.

I knew she was young and I started to ask her if she was sure this was good advice. I told her that a lot of people get killed in elevator shafts, and I didn't want to chance doing anything that may take my life. She said it was okay.

Then, the elevator door was open, and I could see a main area of a department store with people in it. The girl had changed into Daniel Tosh, and he continued to give me instruction, telling me to go in head first. I tried to put my head through, and although it looked wide enough to make it, my head did not fit.

He then told me to go feet first and put my legs in a scissor position and it would work. I told him that since the door was open now, I should be able to just walk out of the elevator where he was. He nervously said no, that he already had instructions from his superiors and was worried if I didn't follow them.

I reluctantly said okay, because I didn't want him to get into trouble. I crossed my legs and started to try to get through the opening. Having trouble sliding my body through, I grabbed onto some piping for an assist, that's when I woke up. I was taking Melatonin for sleep the last time I had a nightmare, so I stopped taking it for awhile. Didn't matter, had this dream with no sleep 'helpers'. :D

I wouldn't quite call that mild and normal, Sea - pretty scary, actually, especially when Tosh wouldn't let you just walk out of the car! You were so accommodating, though.;)

Boy, the mind really gets its revenge on us sometimes ...

Phil this picture epitomizes hot flashes. You might just be going through a late menopause. Seriously, I've had dreams where I'm in my childhood bedroom...and the wall erupts in flames. Then I wake soaked and covered in warm dogs. It's gotta be stress and in my case hormonal.
There was one I had last night. I was in my aunt's house. In real life she is mega Christian...Santa Claus and Jesus overflowing every room. In the dream the reindeer were tipped over, bows scattered and I was trying to put all her decorations back up. We're not close but her husband had sudden debilitating health issues and is still in hospital.
I guess I was feeling for her in the dream and trying to sort out the un-sortable, I dunno...
 
I've had dreams where I awoke soaked and covered in warm dogs, too.

Unfortunately, at the time, I didn't OWN any dogs ... :rolleyes:

As for the meaning of my dream I've been trying to suss it out today, but aside from the usual holiday stress and psychotic meanderings of my mind, nope, nothing.

WOW nwlady, that must be amazing to dream about free flying!! What a fun dream. Maybe you were a bird in a previous life :D
 
Okay, this has happened to me several times - I had a sequel dream tonight during my 1-1/2hr. polyphasic session.

After the failed atomic bomb events from my last dream, I was part of a roving band of survivors going around trying to see the effects of my slow performance. We came across one place, a palatial building with an enormous indoor pool and multiple rooms.

My team members immediately jumped into the pool and began enthusiastically swimming, while I walked around suspiciously looking into rooms and even going along a series of card tables lining the pool, pushing back their hanging tablecloths with my booted toe. I kept repeating "Guys, get out of the water - something isn't right" but no one listened to me.

I got to one table where a man was sitting, and when I pushed back the table cloth he said "What are you, insane?"



A valid question, I'm starting to think ...
 
Phil, sometimes certain foods before bed or meds precipitate vivid dreams/nightmares. Could this be what is happening with you.

I don't think it's food, Cookie - I've got myself on a pretty bland diet. Meds? The usual ones I've been taking.

I think my subconscious is trying to work something out. ;)

BTW - your avatar looks a lot like the cat I live with.

I haven't had a wierd one lately to share, but let's analyse your dream- (I also read tea leaves, coffee grounds and chicken parts) O.K., here goes:

1. subconsciously, you fear abandonment by all people
2. you secretly desire cutting your hair into a short scraggly mess.
3. deep down inside you hate cleaning swimming pools.
4. You are a Robin Williams fan, and don't care who knows...

Well, there you go, no charge. Hope that helped. :wink: :wink: :wink:

tnthomas, You are GOOD! I believe that if most people take the time to analyze their dreams they will find comparative information.

Wow! Don't know why you pulled this - it's excellent! Let's see ...

1. Too late - all people HAVE abandoned me, at least the ones that get to know me
2. Unfortunately I'm bald with a ponytail, so first I'd have to Superglue the tail up on top
3. Only when I have to do it with my hands tied behind my back
4. Nanu -nanu!

Thank you for the insights!
