interesting dream

The Bollox

I had a dream the other night about scoring some chick, what I find interesting/weird about it is that it felt so real. and when I woke up (just after the kiss) I got that great tingly feeling you get after a great kiss. has anything like this happened to anyone else?

I know that sometimes what you dream about reflects what your body does, and vice versa. ie if someone calls you, sometimes you thing it's in your dream, nut this I think is a little different

Used to happen to me all the time when I was younger. It feels so real that when you wake up you have to actually have a good think to see if that actually happened. And then the huge disappointment sets in when you realise it was just a dream, you don't actually have a pretty girl beside you (or is that just me ).

Once I even had a dream I was with a really beautiful girl (bit more than kissing if you catch my drift) and in the dream I actually realised it was a dream (can't remember what that is called, "waking dream" possibly?) and was like "God I hope I don't wake up from this, this is fecking amazing" When I didn't eventually wake up I couldn't get back to sleep for ages because I was actually depressed and sad, it felt like a break up with someone realising that it wasn't real because it felt so real in the dream.

there is a thing like that, I can't remember what it's called, but you are able, with practise, to control what happens in your dreams. I tried it for a while, but like most things I have tried, I gave up pretty quick, it was a good buzz tho.

what really hod me the other day when I woke up is that it was VERY likely that someone tried to wake me up as it was 4:00 in the afternoon, so I was shtting myself that I unconciously kissed a family member. I got no awkward stares when I went downstairs, so I don't think anything happened, just an earfull for not coming home until 9:00 in the morning, lol.

I have had some of those dream you were talking about tho, the ones you are convinced are real. it happens to me in a situation where I can't actually remember what part of the event I woke at. for instance one time I 'woke up' to the crying of someone trapped down the side of my bed, I couldn't see who it was so I got up and turned on the light, looked back to the bed, and felt like a right jackass!

Lucid Dreaming is the term for when you realise that you are dreaming, or 'wake up' within your dream. The paranormal version of it would be Astral Projection or Astral Travelling, www.mysticweb.org has good articles on it.

That's it! I knew it was something like that.

They can be freaky as hell, as in my experience lucid dreams seem more real and have more effect on you.

I had a serious fear of the creatures in the Alien movie series when I was younger, after I watched Aliens from behind the sofa aged 10. I would often have lucid dreams where I was trapped side an alien hive or something, being chased by the creatures. It was made even more horrible because I knew I was dreaming but couldn't wake myself up. Knowing it was a dream made it worse rather than better, as I was full conscious and aware of everything happen, yet cripped by panic and fear as if it was really happening. I just had to experience being chased, captured and eventually eaten.

Experiencing blind fear and panic in a dream isn't the nicest thing a person can experience.

LOL, I feel your pain man. There is nothing worse than waking up after sleeping in a room with friends or family and having them all look at you like you have 3 heads. I was holiday last summer and seemingly I kept waking people up in the hostel room (including strangers) trying to get them to see the "boy" in the room beside my bed. Needless to say I was morto in the morning when one of my friends explained what I had been doing.

The time between when you are fully asleep and fully awake can cause a load of weird experiences.

I am always waking up thinking there is some thing at the foot of the bed, or lying on the floor. It is freaky because now I wake up, see something, experience makes me go "that can't be". But I look closer and go "oh my god it is a f**king dog in my room", then still again go "can't be". But yet, fully awake, I'm certain it is a dog moving around my room. I can even see shapes moving. I turn on the light and it is a coat on the floor.

I once was in a car (my grandmothers actually, I remember this vividly) and had dozed off in the back of the car. In my dream I was being chased by a bully from down the road. He went to hit me in the face, at which point I woke up with a start, just as the car went over a bump and my face went smacking into the side of the car (just like a punch in the face). Now I am not sure if i was still half a sleep when I hit my face, and that is where the punch in the dream came from, but my memory was - punch in dream then woke up then real smack in head. Weird.

well if you read the first paragraph you would see that I was draming about kissing someone, and then went on to talk about how you sort of act out your dreams with motions sometimes. and I said that when I woke up I had the sensation of actually kissing someone

I had a dream last night my boyfriend broke up with me. I was convinced it was real, I woke up really depressed, then had to reassure myself it was just a dream. Thankfully it wasn't *real* real - this time last year I had a similar dream, and the guy did want to break up with me. Meh.

But yeah, I know what that's like. Usually I wake up before the good parts though :rolleyes:

Yeah, that can be a bit disconcerting alright, I've had a few semi-lucid dreams like that and I wouldn't say they were nightmares as such, but I felt pretty jumpy after some of them. Nothing compares with a fully lucid dream though, when you realise that you're dreaming and that therefore you can make anything you want happen. I took a ferrari for a spin one night, before realising that cars are pointless if you can fly, so I flew around for a while before realising that flying is pointless if you can just make yourself 'be' anywhere you want to be, then after a while I realised flying was more fun so I went back to that.

See it doesn't work like that for me, unfortunately

For example in the dreams about the creatures from Aliens (which thank god I haven't had in a while) I am fully aware I am dreaming, but still the world is taking on a life of its own, pretty much following the direction it would if it actually were actually real. So I am running throught the space station, completely sh*tting myself going "wake up, wake up, wake up ffs!" yet I am still being chased and can't get away.

Maybe I just have issues

There are different levels of lucidity, sometimes you can realise that you're dreaming without fully grasping that it means you're completely in control. I'd fairly often realise that I'm dreaming but then stuff would happen and I'd forget all about it and carry on in the dream.

Perhaps you were kissed by a ghost? If you like, I'll ask around.;)

whenever i have a have a lucid dream and at the moment im thinking 'oh this isnt real im just dreaming' i wake up.

Thats a very common thing. I decided to try lucid dreaming, and after just a few weeks I managed it. However I soon lost interest. The only way I know of overcoming that is to keep practicing.

Dream? No, nightmare! Dreamt that I had been betrothed to a dirty old man and was forced to marry him. It seemed so real that I was ready to run away after waking up.
