Last night's dream

Originally posted by Sharpedge: Indeed, all the time in fact. I enjoy dreams. They are a great source of inspiration and insight. Your dream seems to imply some sort of inherent complexity. Who knows what your brain was trying to make sense of at the time? I always try to write down my more unusual dreams and nightmares, as they have this weird habit of just fading from memory without a trace (as I'm sure you know). I often make short stories or poems out of the more interesting ones. It's strange, because I know some people who never dream, or rather they can never remember what it was they dreamt. Do you dream often, or was this a rare occurrence?

I always remember my dreams! Like you I have made short stories out of some of them. I have quite a few nightmares, and this is the best way to deal with them. Plus, some are too darned good to let get away!

Yes, I have had one like that. One of the saddest, coldest dreams I ever had. Don't know what else to say about it really, though I'd be interested to hear your account. The entire subject of dreams fascinates me.

I've had some really awesome lucid dreams (where you're dreaming and know you're dreaming and can control yourself in your dream - to an extent). I dreamed that I was in Baldurs Gate, also after playing BG2 for hours. I've also had dreams about having another life, strange as that may seem - and the dream continues over a period of nights, kind of like a story. It's pretty freaky!!

The most important thing that I have learned about lucid dreaming is that you can't do things like you normally would. For example, you can't walk, legs don't work. Just WANT to go somewhere and you will. Same thing for looking up, don't look up by bending your head back, you have to float to that height and see it straight on.

By the way, I've found cartoons to be the best backdrop for lucid dreaming. You can't be tired either or else you will fall too far into sleep and lose control.

once i had a very odd dream... i only remember a few frames of it, which may be a blessing or a curse, so please just bear with me... i was a d2 fanatic at the time, and i was also rather attracted to one of my guild members despite the fact of never seeing her pic... so anyways, in the dream, the vision was the d2 chat room, in fact it was my guild room, and there was lots of text on the screen. i however couldnt read it, and there were many people in there (reading the text might have revealed too much to me...). so anyways, i saw a vision. it was in her screen name, and it was, what i believed, to be a vision of her. she was thin with white hair. but not white hair from old age, but i guess bleached or natural... she was very young looking. even though i came to later know that she didnt look like that, it may be a window to the future for me... anybody else have anything as corny as this?

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Let's see...I've got a couple I can condense.

1. I watched Nightmare on Elm Street with my Mom and Dad one night when I was much younger. I usually "talk" myself out of being scared when I watch something like that, but with my parents present, I didn't feel comfortable doing that so the movie creeped me out. I feel asleep on the couch that night (couldn't handle the creature under the bed that night) In the morning as I JUst started to wake up, I heard Freddie's "claws" grating on a metal railing and suddenly I was in a school trying to get away from him. But every time I got away, he would materialize in front of me. I finally scared myself fully awake only to STILL HEAR THE SOUND OF HIS CLAWS!!!! I was terrified to open my eyes, but being the bold one that I am - I will face death head on! (Actually, I didn't move until I realized that the sound was a MOCKINGBIRD! - I don't know where it picked up that noise, but O!M!G!.

2. This one happened just a few months ago. I had just seen Tomb Raider in the theaters and I dreamed I WAS Lara Croft. (I WISH)

P.S. I also have a recurring dream. It has come back every year in the fall since I was nine or so. I am a young peasant girl sleeping on a pallet in a cold room with a big fireplace, but no fire. I hear footsteps coming down the hallway and I'm afraid. Just as the door starts to open, I wake up. I don't WANT to wake up, I want to know what happens, but I wake up anyway. If I believed in reincarnation, that might explain it, but I don't. I DO, however, believe in the possibility of alternate Earth's in alternate dimensions.

Dare to dream. Be bold enough to try.

Originally posted by Tobbin: Welp, for the most part, I usually don't dream. Most of the time, I do live my life by them though. What's really weird is that sometimes I dream during the day (best that I can explain it). I don't mean a daydream either (well, maybe I do, not really sure how it works). Every once in awhile, I can see something that will happen in 2 years. I don't understand it, because most of what I see has nothing to do with something that I've seen before. I saw myself in MI before I ever got there. I visited my niece at her school before I'd ever been there with her. I even saw my first GF at my house before she was ever there. Most of the time, I forget what I had dreamed because it's like 2 years later, but then when it's happening, I remember. Anyways, maybe that's why I don't normally dream because subconsciously it scares the bejeebers outta me.

I do that alot too..Really Freaky..Not so much scary to me though

So if in the forest look behind you, because that where the ranger is going to be

The ranger looked at the place out side of the elven town near the river, he looked near the rocks, then they showed the way ....

Wow! Most people think I'm nuts when I talk about writing all my dreams down, especially the nightmares. They just say it's better to forget the thing, but I disagree. Our minds leap around and cartwheel while the higher functions rest, why shouldn't we capture that raw thought? Plus, like you say, it can help you to deal with a nightmare if you think about it, particularly if it's been caused by some sort of anxiety. I'll have to see if I can dig out one or two of the more family friendly ones and post 'em up sometime.

I love dreams where I can fly. Even though I've often lost control or fallen in them
