You've got to ask yourself one question, "do I like dreaming?"... Well, do ya, punk?

[brimz]

I have, didn't really like it though. I think I was on something at the time. Probably ketamine. Sometimes ket adds to these kind of odd, surreal movies & other times it just makes them completely impossible to follow.

This has reminded me. I have ketamine %). That's getting hoofed with a good movie at some point this weekend.

Fax me some man would luv some ket . It would be better than this appt i'm dragging my heels to go to .

Brimz, ask your psychotherapist when was the last time they cured somebody. Of anything.

 

[Septonn]

Has anyone else watched Waking Life?

Brilliant film abouut the dream world.

I have, and loved it. I've only seen it sober though, maybe adding a little something makes it even better

 

[dan88]

Last nights vivid quitting weed dream I was playing black ops 2. Specifically the hijacked level lol! Then I met up with some girls I used to know from school. Fascinating....

 

[Mailmonkey]

Need to be sober to follow that film. Needs no enhancement

I'll email you a couple lines.

Haha, that sounds like my kind of dream. Whenever I do actually dream I never do anything ridiculous. Just do things that I could easily do when I'm awake. It's a bit shit tbh.

No sorry haven't read it. I avoid dreams books like I avoid horoscope shite. If you tell me it's about consciousness I might listen.

Regarding the cannabis withdrawal dreams. AFAIK this is a universal truth. Though I'm sure some cunt from Nebraska will pop in to say it didn't happen to him. I know of many people who all tell the same tale. Heavenly seems almost inadequate a word to use. In the same way 'vivid nightmare' seems not strong enough to describe the first seven days.

Mine were after 30, yes 30, years of daily cannabis use. I'd also add that this was the only withdrawal symptom I suffered and on the whole it was a doddle, cannabis is not addictive. But I know people who have had the same experiences on, shall we say, much less than thirty years daily use. It happened when I went to S America for three months and made a conscious choice to have a break rather than crave it. I never craved once.

Took coke instead.

I dont crave it, i still suffer from insomnia for a week if i have a break. For example last night i fell asleep and woke up 3 hours later in some half dream paralysis state covered in sweat. Fall asleep for another 3 hours covered in sweat again and now i need to wash my bedding because it stinks of stale sweat. Everyone's body is different

Added onto the fact i feel like i have had barely had any deep sleep and i feel like wank

One other common phenomenon I find interesting. Those times you wake up and think the dream was real, actually happened. This may last seconds, minutes or most of the day. I find it interesting because we are somehow (even if wrongly) deciding to believe information from a data pool we commonly know to be bullshit/fairy land (the land of dreams).

It's good to be in control isn't it?

Christ, the amount of times I have woken up in the middle of the night and stripped my bed cos I thought there was a snake in it or some other animal, only 5 or so minutes later convincing myself it was just a dream.

There are actually quite a lot of times where people will have memories from childhood that were actually dreams as well.

In two dreams I've had I've been able to fly which was awesome. I could choose where to fly as well. To do it I had to jump in the air forwards, as if diving into a swimming pool and just before I hit the ground I would start flying. Naturally I practised in water but then was able to do it over land, flying through mining tunnels. Interestingly in another believable/realistic dream a long time after I knew I was in a dream but still had very little control over it (nothing like lucid dreamers where you can change scenery - I was only aware), and I actually remembered about me being able to fly in the other dream. I kept jumping forwards trying to initiate the flying but it never worked so just lost balance and fell over a lot :D worringly I then went on to steal a lady's handbag once I knew the flying wasn't going to happen.

The only time I've had a recurring dream is when I was a kid and my mum came into my room late at night to check on me. Occasionally I'd dream it was some kind of glowing gooey monster coming into my room but when I screamed nothing came out. Luckily I haven't had a nightmare in a very long time, and when I did I was able to realise I was dreaming and kill myself. Once I jumped out a very high window, and twice I stuck a knife in my own throat to stop the dream 8(

Shouldn't rabbit on really, dreams are rarely interesting to anyone but the person having them.

I had epic long dreams last night / this morning about humans becoming zombies that i was fighting off (i have a hell of a lot of violent dreams for a non violent person) and then they became human again, and then I was shagging the sexiest females that had returned from the dead in ripped fishnet style and all that (the women, not me !). I'm not reading anything Freudian into the dream, i dont think it means im a necrophiliac. Although my counsellor says that violent dreams can be a sign of turbulent thoughts, I dunno.....I do know that my action packed dreams are far more exciting than my life.

 

[masaz]

The believing your dream was real thing happens to me most times that I dream (or remember my dream), which isn't very often tbh because weed kills dreams. I'll normally have done something out of order, but plausible, to some mad bastard & wake up thinking "Shit! I shouldn't have done that, he's gonna fucking kill me" then about 10 minutes later realise that I'd just imagined it.

I fucking hate that. I get it a lot, for some reason. Also have a tendency to have sort of semi-lucid/real dreams where I'll just be in bed, in my bedroom, and everything is exactly the same as it usually is, except I feel really heavy, ill, and have mad pins and needles. I'll try to get out of bed, stumble, fall, end up back in bed, and repeat the fucking process for what seems like eternity until I wake up feeling weird and pissed off and never sure if I just had some weird dream stuff going on or if I was sleepwalking.

Waking life is great, I've watched it twice.

Yeh the sweatings a bitch. For sleeping I swear by sominex. They contain promethazine, and if you have a couple they knock you out. Only a few quid from boots

 

[mydrugbuddy]

Lol, as much as that ! ?

 

[knock]

I don't do more than twice. OK I've watched 2001 about 6 times but twice is the general limit.

 

[Uncle Robert]

I don't do more than twice. OK I've watched 2001 about 6 times but twice is the general limit.

Is that because you loved it or because it's long and weird, coming off a lot better when you start watching it knowing the gist of what to expect?

 

[knock]

I just really like the music of Johann Strauss. And perfectly formed space ships elegantly passing and rotating through the vacuum.

 

[parttime crackhead]

2001 is definitely better with repeat viewings.

I tend to agree with knock on this though, I don't often watch a film more than twice. There are certain films that I'll watch dozens & dozens of times (Friday, Scarface) but in general I rarely re-watch a film. At least not now anyway, with the ability to get a new film within a few minutes at my fingertips. I've seen all the old films that I like loads of times.

 

[Uncle Robert]

I can only watch a film again if there has been a solid 12 months in between viewings, preferably more. If I can only remember a few scenes off the top of my head I don't mind watching it again.

 

[lodaweed]

Try OTC sleep aids, they helped me stay in a dream long enough to become lucid and they make you sleep so much better! They're not nasty stuff, just the drowsy part of non-drowsy allergy pills

I still keep them all right enough. Got hundreds of films on various hard drives. Most of them only watched once. A fair amount of them never watched. I never really delete anything.
