Waking Life aka The Dream Thread

I sometimes have those reoccuring tooth dreams, where all my teeth are lose and falling out or that they all shatter and I can feel all the bits in my mouth. I've heard many different interpretaions of these dreams, ranging from meaning that you are starting a new stage in your life, to a disaster or nasty accident that is awaiting to happen.

I've had dreams where I am aware that I am dreaming and therefore I am paying careful attetion to detail. Once I wake up I don't remember much of the detail though. I guess it's what you call a lucid dream.

On another occasion, I was telling people in my dream that I was dreaming, and that they were in my dream and that this wasn't real.

I have also had a dream where I was doing that flicking of light switches (those of you who have seen Waking Life will know what I am talking about) to dtermine whether I was dreaming or not. Since a flick of the light switch, did turn the light on or off, I assumed it was real and that i wasn't dreaming. :)
 
I had a disturbing dream last night. I was wondering around Montreal (where I live) with my best friend here, the girl I was hooking up with back in Jersey when I lived there and who I want to come up and visit me, tho she seems to either not want to or is not able to (see how much I trust women?) and my first (and only? the other girl I may be in love with but I don't know) love. So my first love asks these really sketchy looking thug-type characters for some brown (heroin) and I say not to do it. She goes to do it, and we leave the other two for the rest of the dream. I remember arguing with her not to do it, but really wanting to do it. We take it (IV) and then I can;t remeber/it ended.
 
I continue to have this basic recurring dream: I meet a woman, usually from my past, but it could be someone I've never met. We decide to have sex, and we look around for a place to have it. We're usually in a familiar place, whether it be my college, a park, Ventura Blvd. in Los Angeles, my grandmother's house, et cetera. Anyway, we search and search for a perfect, private location, but we're never able to find a place to have sex. Whether we're interrupted by nosy onlookers or just nervous about the location itself, we never have intercourse because of one or more of these reasons. This has happened in my dreams many times over the past several months.

Any interpretations? I'm sure there's some weird meaning behind all of this.
 
i. have some weird fucking arsed dreams. but 1 that is burnt into my mind, recurred for, i kid u not, at least 4years...

i would have been maybe 5 or 6 at the time? its my birthday, and im having a party. all my friends are there, but i cant name them...its time for lunch, and freddy kruger is the chef! he's wearing a chef high hat and apron and everything! (none of this seems abnormal to anyone, btw) lunch is party pies and sausage rolls. freddy tells us (me) there is one poisonous piece. i have to choose one to eat, i pick the bad one and i die. as i fade away, freddy is laughing hysterically.

so, i rewind the dream (yes, i actually see the black and white snow screen) and start over. this time picking a different piece of food to the last time, and once again, i die. rewind, etc etc, each time dying from eating a poisoned party pie and freddy pissing himself at my expense!! and for years on end the same dream, dying over and over all night~~~!!!



he made an appearance in another recurring dream i had around the same time too. i thik it may have taken turns with the one above. but my sister is sunbaking on a deckchair in our living room. i walk past and she morphs into freddy kruger. he/she attacks me. i try to reach the alarm button for help, but i cant quite, as freddy is holding me back. recurring recurring...


whats the moral? dont let your kids watch scary movies!!!!
 
In dreams i find one is never hesitant in getting violent toward enemies, not lately but i used to be very aware in dreams, aware enough to have sex with women in my dream, aware enough to use matrix style fighting on my enemies.

One time after a matrix fight with some swordsman he vanished and the only remainder of him was a white feather with a red bow on it. I decided i would attempt to take it back to realitie with me. I picked it up held it infront of my eyes as to keep an eye on it then i woke up, i was on my back lookingup at my hands, suprise suprise i didn't have the feather but the wierd thing was i could CLEARLY still feel the feather in my hand like i was holding on to it so I decided to get up with out using my hands so i cud still feel the feather but the instant i moved i REALLY woke up and my hands were at my side.

Just the tip of the iceberg to the weird shit that happens after dark.

_high_life_: if you think your "wetting the bed dream" is bad, listen to mine. I had this dream every once in a while when i was little where I would get up, walk across the hall and go to the bathroom. Like I would actually dream that I walked into the bathroom across from my room, sit down on the toilet, take my piss, flush, and then get back to bed perfectly normally. And then i'd wake up in a puddle.... :p :D

HAHAHAHAHA i've totally had that dream, too
 
^

I used to dream about waiting outside the bathroom in a line with my brother and sisters, and i was at the end. I would have to piss so bad it hurt. I would make it to the toilet, in my dream, but when i awoke i had pissed myself.

the wierd thing is that i always had the same dream when i pissed myself, waiting in line outside the bathroom. eventually i started to catch myself in the dream and wake up.
----------------------------

I want to be able to do what i used to in dreams, realize im dreaming and do whatever i want. i cant do it anymore for some reason. i used to control dreams, anyone else ever do that? now i just wake up and am like SHIT, maintain, maintain thought and unconciousness, but cant.

i always loved flying, then loosing the belief that i control the dream and falling, but not hurt when i hit the ground and fly again. hope someone can relate to me, its quite fun to control dreams, i need to study on that and see if i can get back to doing it.
 
just watched waking life. i don't sleep that much anymore. only when i have to. i prefer to meditate and take drugs. yes i am a frotunate son, and so are we all. some stuff in that movie is incredible. i got a massage yesterday from a girl while in just the right mental place and she and together i transcended time space and our bodies. not in a sexual way either. it was fucking incredible.
 
so othernight im standing outside, I look up at the stars, and theres this one that is at least 3x the size of the biggest star in the sky, emitting pure white light, it looked extremely high up in the sky and was slicing at a speed that ive never seen something so high move at. Then it stopped dead, slid from side to side, and continued on behind some trees and disappeared. At the same time I was compelled to look up, the military air base down the way was sounding up with jets takin off, and this was late at night, they rarely launch anything at night, let alone jets. It was weird. How I just happened to look at the perfect time to see it.

So then I goto bed. And have one of the shortest feeling dreams ever, usually my dreams feel extremely long and tire me out. But this was instant. It was me standing where I was that night with two anonymous people, on the horizon I seen a speckle of a red dot, a red star, yet I sensed incredible ANGER from it it was fuckin absurd, I felt something was wrong it was against me, and it just instantly turned into that same white orb id seen. It sliced across the night sky and I pointed it out to the two people I was with, and to my absolute suprise they acknowledged seeing it as well, and right as they acknowledged it it unleashed the most eerie, most undescribable sound that made and still makes every hair on my body stand up on end. It was as if the sound was never a sound, just raw emotion augmenting waves but interpreted as a sound. As it let it out it disappeared from view only to appear right next to my head, I felt its energy next to my skull, such indredibly powerful energy, so far it felt as only 2-3 seconds of time had passed since I first seen the red speckle star. Both people I was with I could sense their fear and my own I was shaking with it that sound had fucked me up and the orb just slammed itself into my head, and next thing was just a golden couldron that exploded with white light, and for a breif second I understood everything there ever was to ever understand about the universe and existence, only to be snapped awake an instant later and lose all memory of what was learned. The entire dream feeling like it was only 5 seconds long max. Such a quick, absurd, eerie mindfuck.
 
I'm finding it harder and harder to distinguish dreams from real life now. It's weird.

Last night I went to bed a little hungover, mostly ill. Lay down and started to see things inside my head, a man sat on a park bench. Got this bizarre shaky feeling and the next I know I'm sat at my computer talking to my gf online. I'm still feeling shaky and ill all through this, and I tell her I feel bad. I then think 'Hang on, what's going on? I went to bed, how am I here?'

Then I'm back in my bed and hearing voices. A conversation, pretty loud. I walk out into the corridor and there's silence. At this point I don't know whether I'm awake, asleep or having some weird out of body thing.

Fall back into bed still shaking and sick. I hear a metallic robotic voice, high pitched, saying something about wires. Threatening. Really fucking scary. I screamed like fuck, but I couldn't make much noise, or move. That's when I definitely woke up.

Sat there and then turned the light on. Felt spaced out and fucked up. I don't know what did it. I've had dreams/weird out of body things like that before, but not as terrifying as this. Anyone, ideas?

Also recently I have been having dreams about being naked in public O.o

But my strangest dream occured a few days ago. I was my girlfriend, she was me. We were enjoying making love together and experiencing what it feels like to be the other sex. I'm still kinda puzzled and confused by it. Nevermind I enjoyed it :)

It clearly is a sign that you are homosexual, if not half.

I have gone through periods when my dreams were very hostile. As long as the voices stop when you wake up I would say you are just going through a difficult phase of dreaming.

Are you dealing with a lot of stress, finding it hard to communicate to people who are important to you? Sometimes our dreams will embody all that real-world stress. Also, the hypnogogic stage of sleep is just a crazy scene ... most people don't remember it at all but everyone experiences it. Maybe you are unusually conscious of the hypnogogic madness? I was too until I started taking meds that put me right to sleep. Mirtazapine is a good med for sleep-disturbances.

Lately, I have a dream friend. When my dreams start to turn toward the stressful, a wolf comes and leads me away.
 
Crazy, i just read about dreams at howstuffworks.com and am currently practicing to train my brain to be more apped for lucid dreaming. ANyways, here's a crazy reoccurring dream i've had and then just a pretty weird funny one.

Crazy Reoccurring dream, sorta, had it for like a week straight, things were a bit different each time though.

I'm sleeping in my house and wake up on my bed and i'm scared for some reason. So i'm getting up and moving really fast like i'm shocked on my bed, and i fall off. When i fall off, my head is bleeding and I'm freaking out and then for some reason i all of a sudden knew i was in a dream. After realizing this, i thought to myself if that the only way out of this hell hole was to kill myself. So i run and jump out my window head first and wake up before i hit the ground.


Funny dream.
I wake up and hear someone crying, all of a sudden i hvae wicked good hearing and vision and i realize that there's a little fly in a wedding dress on my window sill crying. I ask her what's wrong and her husband stood her up at the alter and her heart is shattered. So i talk to her for a goodtime and make her feel better and forget about it, and next thing you know i'm asking her if lookin through her eyes was really like lookin for a keliedescope. I forget what her answer was. oh yeah, and i convinced her that there's "other flies in the sky." Corny, i know, but it's a good dream.

Yeah, a whole fuckton of stress at the moment :( Dreams are getting weirder, am taking sleeping tablets now too, which are making things more interesting but seem to be knocking the hypnogogic madness down to just amusing little scenes and sounds rather than full on horror.

I could do with one of those dream guides I think. The only time I don't get nightmares is when I'm sleeping with my gf.
 
waking life is an awesome movie...usually I can't remember the details of most of my dreams

Weird action-adventure dream

I had the weirdest, most action-filled and fun dream ever a couple of weeks ago.

I had taken a combination of Melatonin (12mg), Valerian (2000mg), and Vitamin B-6 (150mg) - I'd heard it was supposed to potentiate dreams, so I thought I'd give it a go, and did it ever!

It was like some sort of cross-genre movie. Very random. I have to start halfway through the dream however, because that's as far back as I can remember.

I was chasing my brother Jonno down a corridor, which happened to be inside a tall building. At this stage (from the very few details I have noticed) it looks like some sort of hospital, but at the same time reminds me of my university building (which in real life resembles a 13-floor deck of cards on its side in the middle of the city). We were on about the middle floor. I was trying to stop my brother from attracting attention, because some bad guys wanted him dead. We get to a door on the left, and Jonno nearly goes through it when the other wall busts open, revealing a large battle-mech and a small band of (what look like) mercenaries. I try to help him fight them off (somehow we have becomed armed) but he tells me to go, he can handle this himself.

I run back along the corridor in the direction I came from, and head for the elevator. My friends and I all get in (yes, they just appeared, and it made perfect sense for them to do so at the time), and press the button for the basement floor. The lift takes zero seconds to reach its destination (no time to be bored in a dream I suppose), and without noticing my surroundings I step out.

After a brief delay I notice that I am in a large rectangular glass room with stairs on one side. This seems perfectly normal, because the lift is irrelevant now. Outside the glass room, I can see that we are on a snowy mountaintop during a blizzard. The horizon is a dull orange. This is also perfectly normal, for we live in dark times, of which I had just come to the conclusion.

So we make for the stairs, armaments in hand (which happen to be medieval weapons - some of my friends are holding swords, axes, warhammers; I am holding a mace). The stairs go up a long way. When we're almost to the top, one of my friends grabs me and pulls me to the floor. "Watch out!"

I flatten myself on the floor in time to notice a beam of light pass over my head. After the light passes I look up to where it came from. The light is coming from the Eye of Sauron (Lord of the Rings, anyone?), and this is of course perfect normal. I "remember" that our mission is to kill this thing, so once the beam of light passes again, we get up and run for the base, which is only about 10 metres away. The whole thing is only about 5 metres high.

We charge with weapons drawn, and hack away at the base. It only takes a few hits to destroy it. The whole thing crumbles, and it looks pretty cool. I look up towards the sky and see that it is now white and equipped with a ceiling fan. Except it's not the sky, it's my room and I've woken up.

It was one hell of an adventure, that's for sure. It doesnt really make all that much sense, but it was fun to participate in!
 
i had a nightmare three times in a row the other night. all three times, i was at a function hall in a conversation with i girl I've feelings for, watching her hit on other guys/try pick them up. messed my head up.
 
Every night for the past two weeks ive had a fucked up dream which makes no sense to me whatsoever, and i can guarentee 2nite ill have another one.

Like last nite, first i had a dream that i was in some weird shopping centre and there was this middle aged dude there, and i was trying on these purple jeans, they were hot as, and i wanted to buy them, then he goes nar have them for free, im like mad ok, then he wanted to show me all these other clothes i could have for free, so we went in this like elevator thingy that went sideways tho instead of up or down, then we ended up in some kind of a new housing estate where all the houses were being built still, and i was like where the fuck are the clothes man and why are we here? And after hours of fucking around it seemeed, that he goes well i cant find them now, come back another day, so i left like huh? Then i had another dream. This time i was at some party at a friends house, and all my friends from my old skool were there, and it was upstairs in some attic and really dark. Anyway, it came time to leave, and i said for them to come bak to my house, but then i saw them walking out of the gate from the upstairs window and i yelled down to them 'so are u guys coming or not?' then i see my dad and my grandma at the gate saying 'come on lets go' and i got really angry that he had come without me saying to... then i woke up 8( wtf?

I always get dreams about random people i havent seen in YEARS, like a very long time. I dont get them at all, and i hate having these dreams. :p
