this is just a glimpse. There's more , but whoever just read all that; I give you a Smiley: cookie


I've done "shamanic journeys" before, but as part of a circle. I haven't had as much luck "journeying" without the soft drum beat though. Mind is too cluttered I guess to.

Anyway thanks for the Smiley: cookie.

I have extremely vivid dreams. Sometimes I know I'm dreaming and console myself that it's not really happening. Sometimes the dream starts with me waking up in my bed...some sort of trick I play on myself I suppose.

Dreams becoming more vivid is very common during pregnancy. I was worried that I'd have horrific nightmares, but it wasn't really that much different for me.

usually when I try to take charge of my own visions, usually to see if any memory or past life pops up, I tend to start by picturing a path in the woods. Ill follow it for awhile then when I find other "paths" that lead off the main one, I will pick one and see where it leads me. Many times I find myself walking down into an area that seems familiar to me but nothing I know if in my real life: a cottage, a farm, a town, and meander as events take me. Whether its something real or something my vivid imagination makes up no one can say. But many times I find myself thinking "Oh! I know this!!! or "I know whats going to happen next" and it would be something I would not know from this lifetime. No matter what it is, it always is a relaxing and peaceful thing to do

Same here, on both counts. I've even had dreams where I go to sleep inside the dream, have a sort of in-dream dream, and wake up, still in the dream, if that makes any sense. No, it doesn't, does it?

It does, and I have those too...also: I have a dream shrink. He likes to tell me that maybe I'm dreaming things because I can sense they are really true...like boyfriends cheating on me and such. Generally wrong, but hey, free!

Ha! What the sheep don't know is that I'm only acting like I'm asleep.

I can only remember one really vivid dream like that. About 4 months after my dad died, I dreamt that he showed up at our house, all beaten up and wounded and said that he hadn't actually died. He'd just been away in a different country, though I'm not sure why he was beat up. I felt so relieved in the dream that he was alive and so happy to have him back.

Then I woke up. Smiley: frown

Is BT's Halloween costume a bear suit, DSD? I just figured he'd go out and about in a trench coat since that's the one day of the year nobody would likely take notice-- until it was too late.

I remember my dreams about 2 or 3 times a week. I didn't used to, until I was on SSRI's for a few years for anxiety, on which I had insane crazy dreams every night that I could remember (and woke up exhausted every morning). Ever since that, I've been remembering my dreams more often, and they've been crazier.

I also used to have dreams about my teeth falling out, until I figured out that was all based on the amount of stress I was having. At that point, whenever that started happening in a dream, I'd wake myself up, since I knew I had to be dreaming for that to happen.

I have this really weird recurring nightmare that I get maybe once a year where I'm a egg (I think?) rolling around on a countertop. The rolling is extremely painful and the whole time I'm in complete terror about falling off the side, which always happens, then I wake up.

I had a dream last year that I died in an elevator crash too. I woke up sobbing and my hubby wasn't sure what to do because I guess for a while I was crying in my sleep and wouldn't wake up. It didn't help that I went to work and told my co-worker in the elevator and then she tells me that she's been in that elevator while it dropped 2 floors.

Another time I dreamt that my dad was dead and it was so real for me that when I woke up I was hysterical and couldn't stop crying until I called up my dad and talked to him for a while.

I think if we remembered every dream all the time we would overload on sensation and memory. I'm not scientific or knowedgable on this, but I would think those who could remember everything in that manner would begin to have a hard time deciphering between whats truly real and whats not. Imagine having "real" dreams every night where you begin to wonder if every one did happen? You would begin to question reality itself.

This is true!

I normally have very strong, vivid dream recall. Used to keep a journal of dreams in my teens. Regular marijuana use often blocks dream recall, but a few do still get through (especially if you go clean for a few days). Dream recall does occur throughout the day, but I'll get dream "flashbacks" weeks, months, years later without context.

Dream symbolism or precognition doesn't interest me. I believe in their practical use of training brain cells during sleep, but other than that they're usually just good entertainment.

I get those too. Very weird feeling. It's like a deja-vu, but I'm not sure if I encountered that situation in a dream or in reality. And some flashes of the dream come back, and then leave again, but the feeling that brought the deja-vu remains.

For the last ten years or so I've dreamt of things that later happened. Kinda like visions, except I forget the dream a few seconds after waking up and when the stuff happens it feels like a deja vu of some sorts.

They say it's my mind doing a fast replay of the visual input, but how the heck do they explain my brain doing it a couple of days before it actually takes place?

Perhaps I should've gone with the red pill. Operator, if you're out there, I'm ready to go now.
