Lucid dreams.

[Smit]

My most Lucid Dream is the Afghan girl next door I can smell her Musk.

Her warm and sensual Body next to me.

I wake Up and I can hear her starting her Car.

Oh Well anyhow.

That's not a dream, it's a fantasy.

[Del.]

That's not a dream, it's a fantasy.

For her it's a nightmare.

You guys crack me up.

(I'll read the thread later...got a Doctor appt. soon)

This is too long for me to describe now. I'll post later.

Yes, I have had very powerful lucid dreams. Dreams I was 100% certain I was awake, but I was trapped in this recurring nightmare. Several days until "the Big One". And what is crazy is those dreams were directly tied to my childhood nightmares. The last "scene" of my wildest and last lucid dream solved a mystery of mine. Who was holding the door? He announces to me it was him all along. He was holding down the door (preventing me from escaping the coldroom filled with shelves of evil stuffed animals).

I have never had a lucid dream since (about maybe 10 years ago)

That explains a lot.

Hodor?

Funny ,But No.

I will take that dream any day compared to dealing with the hatred and feelings I have toward my ex.

I have no intentions of being with her. But it is a better place to be than having the thoughts of Ill will.

simply said , I would rather sleep with what can never be , than to lie awake with what never was.

I will try every night to sleep without hatred in my heart.

I'll explain more when I have time...

It was maybe 10 years ago? The dreams/nightmares lasted a total of appr. one week, growing in intensity each subsequent night. The last, final lucid episode was the mother lode.

As a young boy, I had these recurring nightmares. This went on for years, until one day they stopped. I would always end up in our cold room (downstairs kitchen) and the shelves were filled with evil looking stuffed animals. I would be TERRIFIED as I couldn't open the door to get out. The door would open slightly but the harder I tried, it would slam back shut.

So,...I could not open that door in my dreams. However, I developed a technique on waking up 'on demand'. I perfected it over the years. I'd chant repeatedly, "It's only a dream! Wake up! It's only a dream!" <<< And like clockwork, I was able to awake.

Fast forward many years and...to my dismay the technique didn't work anymore. I thought it did! I was 100% convinced I had woken up.

Crazy things like I was up (I thought) and was so frightened I called 9/11. Then on the other end I would hear giggling and I then knew I was still trapped in my dream.

A man with blonde hair who always came in my house with a birdcage (with a couple birds flying in it), would ask me, "I'm here to split the bills" and... "You still don't know who I am, do you?" In the last night of lucid nightmares, he revealed who he was.

An old friend of mine was in the dream for a couple nights. I had no idea why. Why Todd? Well, he passed away suddenly at age 50 a few months after my dreams. (I went to his funeral)

I have so many similar experiences to share.
I have learned that when punching someone doesn't have the desired affect it's better to throw them into a wall.
There is this place I haven't seen in a long time but when I do I know I am dreaming.
It's a chain link fence near a hydro damn at the end of a dirt trail.
I'm debating on going into more details about this because it gets bizarre.

I'm not going to boor you with a detailed description of my dreams, but here are a few tidbits.

First of all I can remember dreams that I had as far back as when I was six, BTW it was a flying dream, I've had a LOT of flying dreams over the decades though not so many lately. I also see my father in my dreams from time to time even though he died in 1995. I get most of my writing ideas in my sleep. I'll either start thinking some time in the night after I have woken to take a leak that I need to get a new idea or I will wake up from a dream and think that the dream was a good starting point. Then during the night I will dream and simultaneously evaluate the events, shaping them as I choose. Now of course sometime I wake up and think through my dream and decide that it is not a good idea at all. Other times I like it and go with it.

same, on both points. I had some vivid nightmares as a child that I still remember. And I have lots of dreams where I am in some vehicle that is not supposed to fly but somehow it is, a boat or a car. And it's not easily controllable although, I always seem to keep it from crashing into a building or a cliff in my dream.

This thread is setting off fireworks in my head.
I'm remembering dreams I haven't had in years.
I'll try to take the time this evening to post a few.
I have not had recurring dreams since I was a kid but there are many locations that reappear within a dream.

Dude...
That's some 'Inception' level shit right there.

A dream within a dream...

Great movie btw.
