Waking Life aka The Dream Thread

Interpret This

Here's one open for interpretation:

I'm travelling up a mountain. I'm in my usual seat in a minivan (my family used to own one but that was like 5 years before the dream). The path is very steep and windy. I get a feeling of urgency - like I can't wait for the trip to be over, to the magnitude of "i really need to pee right fucking now" but not actually needing to pee.

Next thing I know, we're nearly at the top and the sense of urgency is now unbearable. I'm trying to figure out why it's so urgent, and just before we get to the top, I wake up.

I dreamt this when I was 14. Explanations?
 
this occured after going back to sleep one morning

there was a 2d layer of geometric patterns, mostly greenish. behind that there was another. and another. i was looking "down" on these 2d patterns (not really looking down, as the universe was 2d, and i saw the geometric patterns as an overview, one replacing the other

this occured durnig a nap in the middle of the day

i was in a room to get something real quick. someone else (a fat girl who is in one of my classes in RL) came in the room. at first i thought nothing of it. then she tried to choke me, we fought, during the fight time slowed down so much that when i tried to pull my arm back to jab her it barely moved at all, or perhaps i was dying at that moment and my body would not respond

so anyways then i am in nothing, laying down with my arms out, with no ground or any object in sight, unable to move my body at all (because i am dead or is time slowed down?), though i desperately want to be able to move, and so i am for abuot a minute in intense frustration and fear, and also try to wake myself up which occurs gradually, and i slowly return to feeling my body in my bed and being able to communicate with my muscles, a few times before i completely woke up i think i opened my eyes to try to wake up faster but i may have just been opening up my "dream" eyes
 
Hey Raw Evil...Perhaps you were just anxious to wake up? Hehehe, ah simplicity. I find dreams usually pretain to events that are effecting our subconcious motives in waking life. That is, we often experience desires, feelings, etc. which we can not reflect on in our waking hours: we are too busy living! Likely your fourteen year old self was urgent for some perspective (like the vantage point you would gain from being on top of a mountain). But the urgency is what is really being expressed.

For anyone who wants to gain a better perspective on your dreams remember this: in your dream "You" are not dreaming. What you experience as your self in your dream is your dream ego. As Mr. Pamela Anderson can tell you, you dream ego can assume any form. So what about all those other characters in your dream? They are you too!

Furthermore, Raw Evil, the van and the mountain are also you. Try this: when you are interpreting your dreams, replay the dream from the perspective of another character or object in the dream and use the first person.
so Leg could say: " I dreamt I was Pamela Anderson getting butt f*cked by my boyfriend" and conversely " I dreamt I was Pamela Anderson's boyfriend, and I was penetrating her anus per her request."

Quite the mind f*ck, wouldn't you agree?

Last night I was a lion in my dream, and i was defending a female lion in a tree from a challenging lion
 
here is a great one.

I woke up, and had overslept, so I threw on a shirt and went to class, during which I failed an exam. I walked back to my dorm, feeling like shit, but i noticed it was a nice day out so it wasn't too bad.

I got back into my room, and decicded to take a nap cuz I was still sleepy. But I couldnt figure out my goddamn alarm clock. I slowed down, looked at it, and saw the numbers were all fucked up... doh.. I realized I was still fucking asleep from the night before. I didnt even think to do any lucid dream shit, tho, just laid down in bed and went to sleep.

I woke up a half hour before my real life alarm went off, feeling really refreshed, but still like shit because the emotions from failing the exam carried over.

What made the dream interesting to me was the fact that I felt the sun on me when I was outside, felt uncomfortable in the chair taking the exam, and felt really comfortable laying down in bed. I dont remember feeling those trivial physical sensations in my dreams before.
 
2 dreams with similar outcomes wtf happened?

I had the first dream about six weeks ago. It was an ordinary dream set in some random, made up location. Nothing out of the ordinary was happening. All of the sudden I realized that I was dreaming. I look forward to this happening as it doesn't happen often. Also, i tend to wake up right after it happens. So i immediately tried to fly. I had my legs crossed and rose up about 20 ft. The strange thing was, while i was rising and then floating, I had this incredible rush all over my body. It was more powerful than anything i have ever experienced. It was like a spiritual orgasm but that doesn't do it justice at all. I woke up on my couch. I stood up and tried to make light of what had just happened. all of the sudden I noticed that I was still dreaming. I walked about three streps until my body collapsed onto the floor and I woke up. (really woke this time)

They second dream I had was last night. I was sitting in a square hot tub. But not a real hot tub. Everything at this point was sort of drawn in. It was just kind of like being in a 3d sketch. I was thinking about how good the warmth of the hot tub felt. and then for some reason i though about rolling. I looked at another person in the hot tub and thought/said... why can't you understand how great this is. Then i thought... Why can't I understand how great this is. It was like an apiphiny. I suddenly felt very warm and happy.

Then a square appeared just beyond the corner of the tub. When i felt myself moving towards it, i knew that it was a portal of some kind. The closer I got the stronger this feeling became. Suddenly, all i could see what Light. I had a similar feeling come over my body that did in the first dream. This time however, It was insanely strong. I can't really use words to describe the power of what came over me. To say it was incredible would be the understatement of a lifetime. It was like being on xtc, but infinitely greater. The light all of the sudden disappeared and the feeling grew even stronger. I think i know now what it is to be blind. It's not that i saw black, it's that I didn't see at all. At this point I felt as if i had my last choice. If i did not stop this incredible feeling I would never come back to reality. I felt like i would be stuck in it forever. I shook it by turning my inner monologue back on. and then i woke up.

What in the fuck happened? This was both the weirdest and most powerful experience of my life. Can anyone make sense of it. For some reason, I feel like pulling away from that feeling was a terrible mistake. It just felt so close to dying. not in a bad way though. if that makes any sense.
 
i do not know, but my guess would be that you had or have been having what it seems are out of body experiences. But that is if u believe in outer body experience, but things i have read some people have explained it like that.
Waking up and then realizing that you dreaming and looking at yourself.
so can you see yourself in these dreams, sleep?
Or when you float are you floating all together?
oh have you taken anything before bed, that could effect your dreams.
warm body sensations
portals and things like that.

I will look for some of the explanations and post them

i don't know
later
B
 
melatonin and some pot^^

The second dream i had was completely through my own eyes. I didn't see myself at all. It was like i was just experiencing the whole thing..if that makes sense at all
 
I drank some hydrocodone cough syrup the other night and then dreamed that my Dad was in the process of forcibly cutting off my dick with a butcher knife and I had to try to cut him first in self-defense--classic Freudian castration anxiety perhaps or perhaps something more sinister?
 
i remember a nice dream
i felt more "awake" than normal

i was flying, at first in teh clouds
i gradually lost altitude through the whole dream until eventually i was near the ground
it lasted several minutes
through the whole time, my skin felt extremely dry, which is to be expected because A. i have dry itchy skin normally and B. i was flying, wind was pounding into my fast, drying out my skin...interesting my dream would take this into account
i flew through patches of trees, but mostly it was over golden fields, not sure what they were
i almost made it to a large forest but woke up, and i was only a meter or two off the ground so i dont think i would have made it into the forest without being on the ground first

its nice when such a focused and real dream comes. usually my dreams are completely random where everything makes sense at the time but its really completely nonsensical (not just the story, but the entire reality, like i look at something twice and its rotated differently) and i am not really aware at all during them, im like a robot, and i usually do things and think "thank god that was a dream" when i awake

i've had some pretty weird-ass dreams in my day. here's a few that stick out in my mind.

#1: I'm in what seems to be Isreal in the time of Jesus. I'm walking around a village when I see jesus sitting down leaned back on the side of a building. I look at him for a moment and we start communicating - not talking at all - but communicating (psychically i guess). then i realise something that i cannot describe in words, i can only say that i understood him, but that doesn't begin to describe the intense feeling. after that, a light started radiating from his hand and soon engulfed everything. at that point - and this is truly impossible to describe fully in words - i knew everything, i understood everything. it felt like i was remembering everything i'd forgotten because it all seemed so familiar.

needless to say when i woke up i was confused and a bit shaken (i was only 12 at the time). it's got a very obvious explanation, but the events are not the strange part. what still messes with my head today is that feeling of enlightenment. i can still remember what it felt like (complete indescribable ecstacy), but cannot experience it directly (except once when i was meditating on lsd - 6 years after the dream happened).

#2: This one is much more recent. It happened about a month ago. I've read lots about lucid dreaming but have never experienced it. In this dream, i'm in a restaurant or a diner, sitting in a booth, when all of a sudden i realize that i'm dreaming, that this diner is not real - when, at the moment, it felt real enough to be, well, real. then, what i can only describe as this "matrix"-esqe effect where everything, all of reality, disappeared and i was existing in this void. and right at the moment that everything dissolved into the void, i woke up. that has to be one of the strangest experiences of my life.


i dreamed last night, that i was running around shooting everyone, just killing mercilessly. but i'm still putting that one back together in my head. might post it later though.
 
i was outside of my house, on the right off my driveway. i saw some dolphins (I'm int he midwest, around no water, the dolphins were in the air) and swam with the dolphins (in the air). i found that they were following a leaf. i forgot about hte dolphins (hence they dissapeared) and followed the leaf.

i realised (by teaching myself) the leaf was migrating. i followed it down the street, around a corner, and onto a driveway. Then it was time for the leaf to migrate back home. I learned (by teaching myself) that when leaves migrate back home, they go on a direct path, so most get stopped by something on the way. I helped the leaf along by moving its path so it wouldnt be stopped by the roof of a house (I swam up there)

the leaf plopped down in the driveway it started it and i played basketball with a girl and thats the dream
 
I've had a few of these.

Some weird image pops up, either in the small of my view or taking up all of it, and I freak the fuck out.

I twitch really fast in the dream, my heart beat skyrockets, and I'm overall terrified. I/my head shakes like the "zombie" guy in House on Haunted Hill when his head shakes really fast.

And it's just little things too. Like my most recent dream was I was reading one of AN's post and some little dude popped up from the top of my screen. I went beserk after that, completely terrified in my dream. And a little scared when I woke up.

Fun stuff. No clue what those mean.
 
This happened to me last night, not sure if its lucid dreaming or what. It felt like I woke up but not really all the way, and I was hearing strange noises. I found that I could control the noises and soon I was making up music in my head that I felt I could "hear." I don't know how long it lasted, but I remembered it later today very clearly. I think I was at least semi awake because I remember knowing that I was in my bed. It sounded like the noise was coming from under the bed and this freaked me out a little until I kind of accepted that it wasn't real. If that was lucid dreaming then it was awesome, is there any way to get better at it? I know I can sometimes control the content of my dreams by thinking about it as I'm going to sleep, but getting control of something like this would be amazing.
 
oh yeah, and I have a few dreams that I remember from childhood. One, I was spending the night at my friends house when I was real little, I decided to try sleeping on my back because I had never done it, wanted to see what it was all about. I remember being in a big white empty space and I was lying on my back on a bed. I wasn't restrained but I couldn't get up. You know that yellow guy froim Dr. Seuss's Fox in Socks? His huge head was descending on top of me with his mouth open. I saw my family nearby but they didn't do anything.
Another one was I dreamt I was at my grandmother's house where we use to go and stay on holidays and such. My mom told me to go to bed and as I was walking away from the the kitchen, I looked and saw their big grandfather clock(which was supposed to be in the living room) and saw a guy peek out from inside it. I freaked the fuck out but my parents didn't believe me.
The last one I remember is being in a very cartoony sort of swamp in a boat. I somehow got eaten by an alligator. I remember it distinctly being cartoony and the alligator's mouth was a pink and had ridges going down it.
