Lucid Dreams Anyone?

Unread postby SeaGypsy » Thu 16 Apr 2009, 11:09:02

My dreams have been increasing in intensity, color and significance recently. I have often thought that dreaming may be the 'real thing' our 'reality' exists to support. My dreams are probably more intense than ever in my life before and I am jerked to wakefulness in order that I fully remember them.

I'm about to go to the 'adventure place' now as i have to be up for work in 5 hours. I will elaborate at some point if the thread draws interest.

Is anyone else finding this happening just recently? I am really interested if there is something universal about it!

The time of universal consciousness is right on schedule.

For the enlightened ones. :P

Expect more lucid dreams in the near future.

Interesting thread, and yet another that I feel compelled to jump in, in light of the ridicule coming. My dream have indeed been more lucid, colorful, and epic. I have noticed an "awareness" in the dream state, one that ripples through the dream. Meaning a sudden wave of "oh, this is a dream and I have complete control...it is all going to be okay." This is in sharp contrast to our waking worldview and I for one find immence solace in the twilight hours...hope to add more if there is some interest in chatting about content?

Cheers!

I have lucid dreams when I've woken up too early and can't go back to sleep. I'll lay in bed to rest for another 2-3 hours and I'll actually dream like crazy, but I'm like 80% awake. My mind is pretty much fully hibernating and watching the dream-picture show, but I'm awake.

I guess there is that step when I have to decide to do what I want, fly around and stuff like that. My mind is pretty much shut off so being able to remember to take control and also not break the dream will be the trick.

This past winter, I have had dreams of a big giant wave, hitting us. Has anyone had water dreams as of late, or "the big wave"? It scared me, all that water. It's not unlike the scene in that 2012 movie where you see "the big waves" coming over the Himalayas.

Maybe it's a metaphor for an energy wave coming from the center of the galaxy...? There *might be* a big wave...a tsunami of energy coming right at us?

I too have noticed that my dreams are the most colorful and
interesting of my entire life in the last couple of months.
It is like after a couple of years of damage control scenarios
and flight or fight processing, the old coconut has set itself
conjuring about solutions and coping vignettes with decent
emotional states attached.

Let's compare notes, have you also been looking at the
subliminal graphics of vision-master in the recent past?
Last night I had one of VM's female creations with
pine bark skin and a palm frond hat on her head sing me
Kenny Loggins' "Danny's Song" while I danced with
her and when we went past the mirror I had Blagoyevic
hair on my head and black smooch marks all over my
cheeks from her Goth lipstick. Tonight I am going to
try and "dip" her and wow all those guys in the flying
triangle space ship.

The amount of detailed dreams have increased for me the past six months. Some day to day with old friends and family others can be strange like seeing ufos land, one kind in particular that I never see the end of is that I'm being chased through the bush never see whats chasing me never see if I get away.

I'm not sure how to define control over a dream for me it just seems to be a movie that I'm observing in the first person. Can anyone manipulate things your dreams?

I believe a series of indigenous cultures did believe just that, and I regard their beliefs to be far more intelligent than most of those this culture holds.

Well, I was inland, and since I live in Chicago, that *is* inland, even though we are near the Great Lakes, mine being Lake MIchigan. This was not Lake Michigan cresting, but the Ocean water. I was filled with dread!

I started watching surfing videos on youtube to desensitize, but I still fear "the big wave".

When I was going through a transitory change in my life (parents got ill, passed on, divorce of first marriage, etc.) I started having dreams of myself going down a creek almost, in a little craft, and watching where it went, the craft followed tributaries until I was floating down a river like the Mississippi, the water went from clear and bubbling, to churning and muddy, running rapids, almost. In the dreams, I wasn't afraid, for some reason, I should have been if I were in real time life!
The water there didn't scare me, and I've lived for a bit in Miami, and went snorkeling in the Keys, etc. I've learned how to swim from a very young age, and grew up with an above-ground pool in the backyard, so no, it's not that I am afraid of swimming or water.

This was "ominous" and it dealt with the PLANET, I wasn't as concerned for myself, because I *knew* I was a "goner" when I saw all that water. Maybe I fear this transition? It was overwhelming! It felt like "DOOM" personified.

It's a common, universal dream, like birth really, in reverse. Pre-natal experience lasted an eternity when almost everything that ever happens to us happens. Eons floating, floating...

Oh dear Lucid dreaming, I suffer terribly from it. Pretty much every dream I have I realise I'm dreaming. But it's always a oh f**k moment. I can almost always wake now on thought as it were when I realise I'm dreaming but I always wake with sleep paralasis. Which if you have never had, it is just paralasis. No matter how hard you try nothing moves, it's the worst feeling in the world. Utter lack of control and helplessness. It does wear off in a few minutes but it's so horrible, I could not live being Steven Hawking.

Yes so lucid dreams are very much like the Construct in the Matrix, it is tiring being concious as it were, when sleeping which is why I try to only sleep 5-6 hours a night, I don't dream then.

Predicting the future and talking to other people in your dreams, probably rubbish.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he 'Aboriginal Dreamtime' is that part of aboriginal culture which explains the origins and culture of the land and its people.

Aborigines have the longest continuous cultural history of any group of people on Earth - dating back - by some estimates - 65,000 years. Dreamtime is Aboriginal Religion and Culture.

The Dreamtime contains many parts: It is the story of things that have happened, how the universe came to be, how human beings were created and how the Creator intended for humans to function within the cosmos.

As with all other cultures - it speaks of Earth's Creation by Gods and Goddesses - some of whom were kind hearted - while others were cruel.

Always enjoy Vision Masters post!

The Mayans experimented, or more specifically I feel were shown how to manupulate the "dreamspell" and for any Carlos Casteneda fans there is a lot of shamanic evidence and pass down knowledge of dream/ trance effecting our waking reality. I too have had wave and rising water dreams, google earth has a great add on for golbal sea level mapping and I look forward to hearing more about some of the other POilers dreams.

Cheers!

Most of the time my dreaming is out of control. Every now and then though I 'wake up' inside the dream. Sometimes I know its a dream but do nothing to change its course. Other times I actually interact with the dream.

Some of these dreams have been down right scary! Some of them contain really abstract info that has quite a bit of substance.
For every question , there is a lie. For every lie, there is a truth. For every truth, there is a way. And for every way, there is a time. This is the time.
