I had a dream when I was like, 3. I was climbing this endless vertical rock wall with that guy from the show with the lemur puppet. I fell.

Oh my god, so many. There was one where I was in some sort of dark, twisted version of the high school I was attending at the time and accidentally shot one of my classmates, then another where I was turned into a hot female version of myself and put in the middle of a mass murder (where I was the only survivor) and some guy almost raped me on an elevator before he died a horrible death, another where I was a flying orange Sonic-The-Hedgehog styled echidna (the dream ended when I flew headfirst into a brick wall that literally appeared out of nowhere), etc. Most of my dreams are pretty tame / realistic / boring, so any dream where anything out of the ordinary happens, I'm definitely holding on to it.

I had one dream where I was in a school made for supernatural creatures, like demons and stuff. I was a cat-demon and I met this kind of rebellious guy. You know, that type who skip classes to go smoke cigarettes and so on.
And one day after school he spontaneously offers to drive me home in his yellow Beetle. I gladly took the offer and I think we fell in love or something.
When I woke up, I was angry that I couldn't remember his face. But his name was Heck and he was a dullahan, but he had his head on his shoulders, so yeah... 9_6

interesting...

I once dreamed that I was in a school that was basically one big gladiator's tournament. There were crossbows and Billy clubs and spears and chariots and a few swords. Anyways the fighting was mostly for fun but there was no penalization for causing fatalities although it was down looked upon and often resulted in people ganging up on you. Anyways I had a sword and a pair of bat wings growing out of my back (but the wings are nothing new I have that in all my dreams).

At the beginning of each battle they just released hundreds of people into a field and said "FIGHT!" It was sort of a free for all so naturally people formed clans, you mess with one member you mess with them all. But I never joined a clan, I kept myself, and everyone that I battled a battle to the death. I wasn't afraid to cut someone in half who stood in my way, so everyone hated me so much. At one point in the dream a very large group that used strength in numbers and wielded Billy clubs and wore black robes confronted me. They kept rambling on about how what I was doing was wrong and how I'd pay the price if I didn't stop. So with one swing of my sword I cut the four in front of me in half midsentence. Then some big guy from a clan that was a head and a half taller than me and said "hey you can't" but that was only had time to say before he was in two places at once. So I turned to the rest of the clan and said "anyone else got som'n funny to say" they shook their heads and I said "didn't think so", and so they turned and walked away.

That's impossibly funny. I had one set in roughly the middle ages, and I was caught stealing something. Instead of hacking off my hands, they imprisoned me, and I knew I was going to be punished. I wasted away in the cell talking to the prisoners to my left and right, when a man came to the door, wiggling keys in my face. He looked haggard and mad. He said he'd set me free, on one condition. I asked him what, and his reply was thus: "I'll let you free if you let me bite you on the ass."

WAT.

Almost all my dreams include amputation.
Either through brute force (ripping them off my body), medical interference, or some other illogical reason of having my limbs taken away.

Also, a lot of my dream creatures are amputated or mutilated in some way or another. I think it's normal somewhat derp

I just looked it up on a few dream interpretation sites and the same general thing popped up. Feeling limited, feeling frustrated. I dunno, it sounds about right in my case at least. It's interesting how our brains make things appear in our dreams.

All the goddamn time. A lot of my dreams involve me mutilating things that are trying to mutilate me. I know what you mean about having to finish it, I've had dreams where I've gotten a cut or gash and then torn the injured limb or pulled out a rib. The worst involved taking out the eyes of everyone I saw, and then doing the same to myself. Those dreams always freak me out when I walk up because during the dream it feels so natural.

I've had several dreams involving the loss of bodyparts recently.

Those dreams are never brutal, bloody or even fear-inducing - just weird, if sometimes nauseating (as in; I end up feeling nauseous during the dream itself).

In those dreams, I usually end up losing bodyparts in the same way as one would lose a key or handkerchief IRL. One moment everything's normal, and a moment later, I spontaneously lost a hand or a leg.

And then I start observing the situation as if it were something completely mundane; "Ah, so this is what I look like without a left hand" - though this is occasionally followed by depressing thoughts about how I'm now forced to live like this.

About half the time, those dreams are about the loss of limbs or parts of limbs - though I also remember an old dream in which I had been disemboweled (as in; I 'woke up' and saw my bowels lying in a pile beside my bed), and only a few days ago, I had a dream in which I suddendly found out that my testicles were gone.

I've dreamed lucidly and much of what you said makes sense to me.

Lucid dreaming is mostly activated by you realizing that you are "in a dream"; usually by some cause of unreality. If you ask yourself at what you perceive the beginning of dreams where you are, then it's no wonder you have such good control over them.

Likewise, I often choose to wake up, knowing that I'm just not in the mood for a dream at that moment. Usually I have to do something that raises my heart rate in the dream to the point where I wake up -- embarrassing myself is one method, or committing suicide is another. By the time the bullet is halfway to my head I'll wake up out of fear. For the same reason I've found it very difficult to have sex in dreams by my own will -- but if the girl offers me sex I can usually stay asleep throughout the whole time and it's quite enjoyable.

I wish I dreamed more because it is very satisfying, especially if you can dream lucidly, it's like a sandbox of your life where bits and pieces come through but you also interact with new creations of your own.

I love dreaming too but I've never been able to dream lucidly. The only time I have was when I was having an awful nights sleep waking up just to roll over and fall asleep again. Every time I fell back to sleep I had a new dream. I finally realized I was dreaming at one point, and decided to try and prove it to myself. I looked at this strange cooper block I had in my hands. (why I had it I have no clue, I tend to not question much anything in my dreams) I thought to myself that if it would engrave the 100 on it I was dreaming, it worked and I got excited that I could finally have a lucid dream, but then got scared and tried to wake up. Then I couldn't tell anymore if I was dreaming or in the real world, and my dream vision became vague again. ( My vision blurs a lot in my dreams.) Since you guy have successfully had lucid dreams, do you have any tips?

Never worked for me. Can't speak for anyone else, though.

Pic unrelated but horrifying.

Stilton cheese is rumored to, says Cracked. http://www.cracked.com/article_16178_7-common-foods-that-can-actually-get-you-high.html

Also, >>534, I fucking hate that picture so much.

When I was little (like 4-5) I ate a slice of cheesecake right before beddie-bye (7:00) and I dreamed that I was being kidnapped from some kind of preschool that night.
I always try to go to bed on a fairly empty stomach, even now.

I can never talk in my dreams. My words come out as wheezes, and I have to try really hard for even that.

I've had recurring nightmares in the past which ultimately leave me screaming at something which is about to kill me. But whenever I try and scream no sound comes out of my mouth, even though I can feel the strain of my throat like it would feel when I could normally scream.

I just now realized, after starting my own dream journal and FINALLY remembering my dreams, that I never talk in my dreams. I take on a role similar to Nick Carraway, where I just spectate other people's lives. Either that, or I'm just timid. I never have dreams where I NEED to scream, though.

I can scream in my dreams.

It was my trigger when I was a kid.

Back then, I had pretty awful dream with grim shit like 7 headed black horses with shark theet and stuff.

As soon I was aware I was uin a dream, I screamed until I reached a certain state:
the waking scream.

This scream wasn't something a human could produce. But screaming like that could awake me during terrifying dreams. Good times!

Also, I remember a drean where I had a discussion
with my subconscious. Shit was so cash.

Well, I know you can do things like keeping a pencil and some paper near your bed, concentrating on whatever you dreamt as soon as you wake up, sleeping at the same time every night, etc. You could just google "how to remember dreams". I hope that helps you out!

I might have to go online and see if I can find any miracle dream inducing things...That would be kindof awsome

You have to learn remember your dreams before doing something like that would be useful.

Keeping a dream diary helps. Or at least it has for me.

oh god, dreaming is just like being awake for me ._. (except for the paranormal things that occur)

two nights ago, i was dreaming i had this weird phobia of anything shaped like a circle.. o.o

anytime i would look at one, i would start becoming paralyzed or just so numb that i wouldn't be able to look anywhere else D:

so i went outside at one point, and i looked at the sun.. a HUGE, bright circle~.. my body started twisting up to the point where it was hard to breath.. weird stuff.

and as i woke up, i found myself to be breathing heavily for a few seconds :c

>>184
its off topic, but where did you get this image from? i would like to know the artist if i could

i had a dream where i was playing paintball for some reason and when i got hit it hurt like it was real and i woke up with pain in those spots and i woke up when i dodged one cause i moved in real life if it makes sense! haha

I once had a dream where this guy was chasing me around my house trying to rape me, I actually felt that tingle through your body when your afraid. At the end he cut off one of my arms and that's when I woke up.

I somewhat frequently come across text in my dreams (signs, books, covers for stuff, etc.), but it never stays the same and always causes confusion for me ("Didn't that just say something else before? Oh, now it's just a bunch of weird squiggles...").

I've had a couple of dreams where I tried playing some sort of video game. One of them had the game work fine (though I only played for a few seconds and didn't return to it when I was done), another had the game change to a bunch of different games until I stopped playing, and the most notable had the game turn my dream into some sort of cat circus that featured a bunch of hamster balls rolling around at one another like Marble Madness or something while the ringmaster danced around and talked about I don't even know what. Yeah.

Oh, and I've also noticed that light switches rarely work, and these dreams usually scare the crap out of me.

>>451
i do, almost all the time, i have perfectly ordered and realworld like dreams, however they are always darkened for some reason

I have been able to look in a mirror.

Sometimes I can read text and signs, but they are sometimes misspelled, and I have tested and confirmed that the text changes every time I look away.

Sometimes I see strange symbols instead of text. One time I found a handheld TV monitor in a warehouse in my dream, and it just flashed random images and symbols. I must have watched it for 20 minutes.

As far as I can remember I have never read any text in any of my dreams. I once heard from somewhere that people cannot read text in dreams. But people here seem to have, so I don't know what to say about that.

>Lately I've been having games involving video games
>games involving video games

I'm sorry, just had to point that out.

there was one week last month where i kept playing a LOT of okami.

i ended up having a few dreams where i'd be able to use the brush powers from that game and stuff. oh wow.
