mmm. After work, I like to plop down on my bed and zone out for an hour or two. Dreams are way better than TV.

Dreams.. not reality.They rule!
You wanna talk about what dreams you had and I can go on forever.

Oh I fucking love dreams! there's Action! There's Sci-fi! There's prophecies (seriously, alot)! There's everything! Even Pornos!! If I could I would dream more often then not... The dreams I remember always rule... wish I remembered more  This message has been edited by DeadAnztac on February 22, 2001 at 09:03 PM

I wish I could do astral projection. How to get into the dream world and control it, as I've read.

I got eaten by a hyper-psychedelic mountain once. That was fucked up. I didn't sleep well for a week after that.Not to mentional all the dreams I have about reinstalling Windows 98... nothing out of the ordinary, I'm just reinstalling Windows 98. I wake up and go "god fucking damn it, what a waste of a dream."

yeah but when you sleep during the day you wake up with a dry throat and sore eyes and your really laggy for the rest of the day its like playing CS on a 14kbps modem or summin------------------
Hey DKB shu'p with all that jibba jabber ya crazy foo!
Posted by CatKnight on Feb. 22 2001,23:04
ehehit sux tho how you remember your dream really well when you first wake up, but then like 30 seconds later you can't remember shit. all you know is that you had a really kick ass dream and you have no idea what it was about
Posted by solid on Feb. 23 2001,00:52
youre dreaming from the moment you go to sleep but you can only remember some parts when you wake up, you know

How much of your dreams is actually visual anyways? The only time you see anything is when it's important to. You can get away with knowing what's supposed to be there. After that, the only things that are in color are those where the color information is important.Try these two things:
Try to read anything in a dream. You can't make out letters, but sometimes you know what it says anyways.
If you wear glasses, determine if you are wearing them in your dream. I wear contacts now, but occasionally I wear glasses in my dreams. However, I take them off, and I have no problems seeing, although I insist on wearing them.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my dreams are certainly not in real time. I've experienced an 8-hour work day in the space of a 5-minute nap in the morning. There have been numerous times when I have been able to read, make out letters and numbers, etc.------------------

thats not possible. one half of your brain comes into play when your dreaming, and its the half thats creative oriented (left i think). stuff that logic oriented, like reading, math, etc, is the other half (i could assume left again and have a 100\% chance of being 50\% right, but i think thats the right side of the brain). you cant read things in a dream. there was a cool batman: the animated series episode where thats how he figured out he was in a dream world.

Ya who could forget.. was it the joker or the mad hatter.. or probably the enigma... it doesn't matter. The important part is, he couldn't read the news. And so he suicided! Lol.
Posted by Spydir Web on Feb. 26 2001,00:49
that episode of batman was cool. it was mad hatter, btw  I dream (kinna) like Observer. Last night, I had a very realistic dream that took place over three days. I some how flunked out of school in the middle of the year, and I distinctly remember reading a piece of paper that said "LOSER!" on it. It was pretty funny. When my sister woke me up to go to school, I mumbled "what? I flunked out you idiot, I don't have to go"... then 5 minutes later it hit me that it was a dream. Scary though... ------------------

In all my dreams I swear I'm doing something really cool (as in I remember it and say, "Goddamn, Wish I could do that in real life!")! I had this one dream where I was running (from something) and I was hoping roof to roof on some urban scape, I jumped down a building, the [something] saw me so I ran and lost him again then vaulted over a railing into a subway... it was really cool! Then another I remember it was like skate boarding, but without the board, and with much better control! I was just like in Boston (I don't know why I knew it was Boston, but it was) and I would start running as fast as I could and then just stop trying and I just kept going, I could turn, and dodge, but it was really cool.. I dunno, alot more. Just dreams rule! 'cept those ones where you wake up with a start, like the falling ones, or sometimes I'll have a cool dream where I'm driving, then going around a turn I realize I should be flying off the cliff, and then I do... ya know that kind of stuff.... sorry if I'm ranting 
Posted by DeadAnztac on Feb. 26 2001,01:31
ooh! ooh! also I have like 1 minute previews of the future every once and a while.. I'll swear by it! I had this one dream that I remembered vividly and I thought about it alot 'cause it had my family in it, and then one day it actually happened.. anyone else have any of these kinds of dreams I'm describing?

I used to have a recurring dream when I was younger.. every few weeks it'd come back. Basically I was standing helplessly as a boulder the size of earth fell on me in amazing fast forward. From an ant's perspective.. imagine how fast you can move a large mass like your arm or body, then apply the same ratio as though you're the ant. The common 'slow motion' effect was in play which is caused by the brain trying to limit physical movement, without this effect you'd be narcoleptic, basically sleepwalking. I'd always wake up sweating and crying.
More recently I've been able to control dreams, in one dream I was with a friend of mine pillaging a local construction site. Some people spotted us and we bolted and before I knew it some police were after us. I started running frantically down a street that looked identical to those nearby my house. As I got down the street it was a dead end, and the police were coming down. I realised.. "Hang on, this street isn't supposed to be a dead end. What the fuck am I doing in a constru.. ahhh... right.". The awareness of being in a dream kicked in for the first time and it was fucking amazing. I flew and ran, the feeling of freedom was amazing and unfortunately doesn't happen often enough.

how's this for your whack-ass dreams? when my brother was about 16, he woke up and had to pee. so he got out of bed, walked down the hall to the bathroom, turned the light on and shut the door, lifted up the toilet seat, whipped out the little soldier, and started to pee. right about now, he woke up for real, having just wet his bed. i'm still not sure what is more amusing, that he had this dream and wet his bed, that he had this dream and wet his bed AT 16, or that he let his then 9-year-old sister find out about it.

Sithiee, you seem to be saying that the two hemispheres of the brain can't communicate with one another. That usually happens only when someone has had that surgery used to treat epilepsy. I distinctly remember reading in many of my dreams. And I did see that episode of Batman. Kind of a precursor to the Matrix, don't you think? How the mind wouldn't accept the utopia and such.------------------

Man, i used to do that all the time. I'd go to the bathroom, but notice that even though my urine was going into the toilet there was no sound and my body was getting warmer, so I'd wake up really fast and run to the bathroom.I've heard about becomeing Lucid in dreams and the things that you do to get there. One thing I read and noticed that it works is a trick to remembering your dreams. After you wake up you don't open your eyes, you just lay and remember the dream for a while, the flood of visual sensations can overwelm your mind and you'll forget the dream. ------------------

your not dreaming until you go into rem (rapid eye movement) sleep, deep sleep isn't really helpful. rem is where you get your rest and dreams from. i think the first few hours of sleep is deep then it goes to rem for like an hour or two then back to deep then back to a shorter rem and then a shorter deep etc....also i read that your dreams are in real time, and 50\% of them are in black and white (those maybe the one you don't remember, i for one can't think of a black and white dream i have had)
Posted by Sithiee on Feb. 26 2001,08:42
what i mean is kind of like the brain is two people. the halves can communicate and work with each other to get stuff done. but internal stuff is just that, internal. just like i cant read your mind.

Lucid dreaming is cool...you can get books on how to do it.I never remember my dreams. If I do remember anything about a dream Ive had its usually a feeling I wake up with- like extreme happiness, sadness or being angry or scared. Most times though I dont remember anything about a dream Ive had. I read some where that the reason for this is because your dreams are socially unacceptable to you and so your brain to compensate makes you forget them Ive remembered relatively few dreams in my life. I used to have a recurring dream about a large house- victorian with a miniture golf course on the first floor and a large grand piano room on the second floor with spiral staircase...
Also when I was younger I used to have this recurring dream about bugs infecting my old house on the porch and all over and I couldnt get out (more than once I woke up screaming to that one)-- My sister and father have these dreams where they see the "future" my sister just thinks its dejavu but usually it turns out to be something she saw in a dream. My dad said once he dreamed an entire football game that was on tv- said he should have bet on it. Of course I dont get cool shit like that to happen to me. ------------------

i can read, drive, swim, fly and do all kinds of cool stuff in dreams. even when my dreams aren't really fun, i can still do that stuff. i've had some dreams where i've come up with some pretty good ideas, in whatever kinda thing i've been workin on lately, so i wake up and try to do them. if i remember enough of the idea, it works. ------------------

nappy hair?? what about nappy face? yknow, when you sleep in class, and your face rests on somethin, and you get red blotches so people know youve been sleeping?? oh man, i get that in all my classes almost....i think ive slept in every one of my classes except cisco. ive found ways around this, but they result in sub par napping. like once i managed to fall asleep with my forehead on a pen, so there was just a tiny red dot on my forehead, and no one noticed it. the other way is when you can rest on a flat surface (table, wall, etc..) and then fall asleep that way...yeah...anyone else have any ways around nappy face?

Lean your head back, open your mouth, and pass out (watch out for drool). I was happily passed out in this position once during chemistry class when my professor tapped me on the shoulder to give me my quiz over that days lecture. I got a 0
