Dreams

I'm having more and more stressful and vivid dreams... getting my hopes up only to wake up and realise it isn't as I had dreamed etc, or just plain weird shit.

A couple days ago I had a conversation with this old man, looked to be in his 50s-60s. I was sitting on a bench at this small park within a nearby town, he asked me about a building that was being constructed on and we ended up discussing a whole wide range of subjects and having a laugh. He told me he had come back here to 'visit', at first I thought he meant family but then I realised this guy was as lonely as me and really just wanted someone to talk to and to see what the town he used to live in now looked like.

Anyway last night, or the night before that, I end up having a dream in which I'm at the place I used to live as a child. I walk out into the street and I see an old car parked on the side of the road, looked really out of place.
I walk up to it and realise it's the old man I had met before, so I lean in through the window and we start talking.
He then suddenly smiles, pulls out a 2ft long knife and before I can react grabs me with one hand and holds the knife with the other, trying to impale me on it. I think he somehow pulled me in through the window or something.
This guy is too strong for his age, and I'm quite weak, so I grab the hand he was holding the knife with both of my hands and try to wrench the knife out of his hands.
As I do so his expression turns from an excited 'no country for old men-esque' smile to a look of panic as he realises I'm gaining control of the knife which is now directed towards him and is slipping out of his hands, and I PLUNGE it into that fucker.
I feel it hit his ribcage and he opens his mouth in shock, I stab him again this time with a lot more force and I feel the blade cut through whatever organs it pierced, and a trail of blood leaks out of his chest.

That's basically the sort of shit I dream of every day, so if anyone wants to analyze that go ahead. I'm sure it has something to do with depression/being anxious about the future.

A week ago or so I had this WILD dream. Even more vivid than this.... being on a huge boat with a whole lot of other people and seeing a spaceship descend from the sky in 3rd person towards it slowly.
This thing was colossal, it was black and shaped in a way I can't describe. Terrible shit began to happen as soon as this spaceship-looking thing realised there's life on the boat we were on.

Another one... running around a weird building chasing people and being chased, kill or be killed type of thing... AI's in biological bodies floating across the ground without using their feet, latching themselves onto people pinning them against the wall and killing them by firing spikes out of their body.
Really weird shit.


My favourite dreams are the ones which have an entactogenic feel to them. A feeling of being in the presence of a higher power or some sort of unnatural force... those are beautiful.
One of these I had a couple weeks ago, all I remember of it was running through tunnels and having to ward off demonic creatures with I guess what people would call chakra. I fired that shit out of my hands anime-style.
The end of that dream was really nice though, I was running through an underground tunnel with someone, it looked very much like something out of an underground mine with torches lighting it up. I reached what looked like a lifeless figure embedded in the wall and below it was a golden chalice with a flame hanging just above it.
I touched it, and the flame dripped from finger to finger and down my hand like water, and it spread throughout my body. I felt like I had come in contact and been accepted by some sort of alien life force because the fire didn't burn me. The tunnel then flooded with water and I woke up. :(


It's really unfortunate and depressing that these are only dreams though. My brain is really taking the piss, please save this sort of stuff for my death not thrown in between days of crippling depression and disappointment only to later forget them. Fuck.
 
I recommend lucid dreaming to you plmar..

The method I used (and created) was to keep repeating to yourself "This is a dream, I'm dreaming" as you are going to sleep every night.

Then wake yourself up with an alarm 3 - 4 hours before you normally wake up.. Get up and go and have a snack.. all the time repeating "This is a dream, I'm dreaming" (And if you remember what you were dreaming about, remember as much as you can, too).. Give it about 5 - 10 minutes doing this then go back sleep.. still repeating those sentences..

When I was doing this I managed to lucid dream 3 - 4 nights a week after about 1 week of trying.. Then after a couple weeks I didn't have to do anything and I'd still lucid dream more that once a week for a month or so..

When you are lucid in your dreams it's very hard to have a bad time.. And we all know how bad dreams can affect your waking life.

Oh yeah.. try not to focus on any aspect of your dream too much while you are lucid (at first).. I found that the details of my dream would very quickly fade into a misty blackness before waking up.
 
A couple problems with that...

Don't have an alarm, phone broken.
I don't normally wake up at any consistent time.
We're already dreaming.























I'll try it sometime soon though
