its the other way around for dreams

dreams can cause sleep being interrupted due to changing mental state or such

when you have a dream = changes how you are sleeping = causes you to wake up

Dreams actually mean that you are sleeping well...

They can only happen during the REM stage of sleep which is the deepest sleep....When you are essentially paralised (stops you acting out the dream)

This is how backwards I am. I'm on Diazepam (Valium) because I'm mental, which is supposed to have a side effect of suppressing REM sleep, yet I'm having more dreams now than ever before.

Edit: Oh I think I'm just reading it wrong though. Wikipedia has this listed for it: "Suppression of REM sleep".

Wait a second, that might mean it holds you in that state of sleep, hence why I'm getting more dreams. I like this topic, I'm learning things. ^_^

Dreaming is good.

Lucid dreams - only had one, ever. Thought I saw some Zora Link it... was like I'm seeing this Zora monster in front of me... AAAIIEEEE *pinches self* I must be dreaming!

I couldn't get outta that for what felt like all day in the hot sun near Phillip Cook swimming pool at hyde park and running around in the city like crazy...
Then woke up did my day chores. And the day ended with a random car ramming into the house... for real?
...****.
Turned out to be another dream. Gay.

Woke up for real that time.
I swear that was one of the most ****ed up dream I ever had. And it was lucid... to a degree.

Scrubs is right about everything.

You actually have about 3-4 dreams per night during REM. It's after waking during or right after the REM phases that you tend to remember the dreams. Sleep goes in cycles; Non-REM and finishing with REM before the cycle repeats. This might explain why some people tend to report dreaming when they have sleep troubles - you are probably just waking right after the first of these cycles.

I hardly ever recall my dreams. Haven't ever lucid dreamed. So, so jealous.

i had a lucid nightmare

pinching myself didnt work so i dived into a river and opened my eyes in the river

Woke up with my hands on my face over my eyes hahahaha
I've been in a lucid nightmare before...

But instead of trying to exit the dream I took control and beat up some white tiger by turning into Luffy from One Piece. On purpose, of course.

The other night I had one of my frequent LUCID zombie apocalypse dreams,
I was driving in an armoured bus with a (hot) girl i know and a group of mates out in a rural area east of melbourne.
We were all dressed in medieval chainmail armour (perfect for preventing zombie bites, which we all know passes on the infection) and equipped ourselves with 2 handed swords and axes, except for the girl who was in a bikini and wielded an M4, she valued looking sexy over protection against the undead.

Anyway we just drove around killing zombies, usually pulling over near a horde and just charging into battle, beheading them, then piling the corpses into a heap and burning them.

Just for kicks we chopped off ones arms and legs and watched it writhe about on the ground, also had a one legged zombie chained to the back of the bus, we named him peter.

Sometimes we'd just pick up speed drive through the hordes (we had a snow plough on the front of the bus) and laugh as they tumbled to each side of our bus.

This was by far the zombie dream i've remembered better than any other, seemed like it lasted a few hours too.




I am eagerly awaiting the zombie apocalypse.....

i dont lucid dream, i have quite a few times before, but its not really something that happens much.

Ive been having some pretty random dreams. There was this one i had 2 nights ago,
I was on a plane and its destination was nowhere. I looked out of the window of the plane and down at the clouds below me and the view of the ground from above the clouds. Suddenly i was somehow pushed out of the plane and i was falling towards the ground. Out of nowhere i pull out these two balloons and hold one in each hand, they almost completely break my fall. Essentially i was slowly falling from 12000 feet whilst being supported by these baloons. The baloons had names too. One was called ignorance and the other was called bliss.

As i slowly fell i was barely able to notice the outline of a city. After a while the city started to take a familiar shape. It was the city of perth. As soon as i physically recognised it i woke up

I have loads of dreams like that

... Lol. <3

I don't dream much because I don't sleep much.
But that's ok.
The bags forming under my eyes are exquisite... =/

Lucid dreaming is fun though, I admit.
If only it was REEEAAALLL!!!

I have had plenty of crazy dreams, one of the more recent ones which i can remember was when I was a komodo dragon, I was going around some island wrecking stuff up. It was pretty cool.

Wait i somtimes go to sleep and dream me falling off a cliff and when i hit the ground i just wake up hell quickly. I've had that same dream 5 times already.

Is that a ordinary dream or a lucid dream? Or a dream that is telling you what you should do LOL.

Its a dream where you have conscious control over what happens as far as i understand it.
Read up on it once ages ago

When I used to daze in school, lying with my head on the desk, sometimes I would suddenly feel light headed as if I was falling, and I'd suddenly jump up. Sometimes it happens when I lie in bed too. Weird.

One of my psychology lecturers has his own interesting take on the very popular "falling dream" and its variants. He says that when lying down, the nerves on your back have that tactile sensation of the mattress beneath you. After a while, the sensation of the mattress nullifies as your body becomes accustomed to that continuous touch stimulus. Essentially, you are ignoring the presence of touch that you get from the mattress due to being exposed to it over a long period of time. This probably peaks at some point, where your brain thinks "OMFG nothing is supporting my back", and the first thing it runs through is a simulation of falling.

Which is when you wake up abruptly, interrupting your nullified state of touch along your back, and return to reality.

I'm boring, why do I know this.

Lucid dream is one where your brain is in the process of dreaming, yet a part of your brain is unusually awake and aware that the supposed sights/sounds/experiences you are facing are in fact a dream. Often, you realise that you are in a dream because something is amiss - some suggest checking to see if the clock hands change time erratically, or if pinching yourself causes no pain, or even trying to read the pages of a book.

The reason for this is because when you dream, you physically cannot read. The reading centre of your brain is ALWAYS off whilst you dream. You can 'read' in the sense that you are getting ideas off a page, but you will never see a page with words that remain static and consistent to read from.

During a lucid dream, you also are aware that you can control the direction that your dreams take. This means hot sexy action with whoever you want, superb saving the world scenarios, etcetc.

Oh wow. I always thought it was a sign that I had Vertigo. That's a cool theory, I choose to believe it.

ok, i had this one a week or two ago, but i still remember it really clearly.

i was in melbourne, driving around some streets that i kinda know. it was a factory district that i would drive though on the way to church. anyway, driving along, my vision goes all white and suddenly, i am standing in a garage. there are three doors in my line of sight, so i figure calmly that ill find my car and go back to how i was. all three exits lead to streets ive never seen before, and couldnt see my car parked on. so then i turn around, so find that my car has merged with the ground, the back half sticking out of the concrete on a diagonal angle (the front half is completely submerged in dried concrete). so im a little shocked by this, and then i here a noise outside. a woman is coming. she comes in, opens her mouth to scream, but i put my hand over it, telling her that its ok, and i dont know what the freak is going on. she then tries to calm me down, and tells me she'll grab me something from inside that will help me, but also mentions i have to hide. so she leaves the garage, enters the house, while i wait in the garage. suddenly she comes running out yelling 'hide! my husband is coming!' over and over again. i hide behind some crates; she enters the garage with her rather massive husband behind her. he thinks we're sleeping together. he finds me behind the crates and goes smack me but.... i wake up. lucky.

lucid dreamed last night

started off as me playing smash with "mango" (who looked like pc chris for some reason, probably because ive never seen mango) then the realization that i was dreaming kicked in

started off by just flying off to another planet, i never landed on it, then i like played with the planet as in morphed it randomly, created some civilization on it and then flew down to a pyramid on the planet (was more like a pyramid shaped structure that had a door on the top, and a huuuugeeee staircase leading up to the top)

for some reason i decided i needed armour for the pyramid exploration, i ended up coming with the idea of the high elves (was it high elves? the gold armor guys) from morrowind since i remembered them being ripped lol

before i even stepped into the giant door of the pyramid i ended up waking up due to my alarm :/

all of my dreams are in the third person by the way, i dont know why but they all are.
