Weird Sleeping Things
Sat Oct 30, 2004 11:59 am
Well i dont know how but when i am asleep if i get bored of a dream or don't like it i some how come back into awakeness. have you ever been half in sleep and half out of it by being sort of spaced out and only hearing something in the back of your mind. When i don't like the dream or whatever i just force myself to remember going spaced out and i go back to that and wake myself up. Weird huh? Can anyone else use it?

Lol, another topic on dreams. I have dreams like you have mentioned, but the difference is that they weer nightmares and when they got too scary/sad for me to take I would tell myself in my dream, "Hey, this is just a dream, why don't I just wake up."
It is really funny because sometimes I dream of being caught in sticky life-threatening situations, and I would just suddenly realise that it was just a dream and to escape I just have to wake up.
On the opposite side, I've also experienced instances where I wake up prematurely, just at the delicious part of a dream. When that happens I would turn over and try to go back to sleep, all the while thinking of what happened in the dream, and also thinking of what would happen next. Then, when I fall back to sleep, the dream will continue from where it left off. Really weird.
Does anyone have same experiences as me?

no, i can wake myself up in any part of the dream i want to. it just came to me last night. i remembered i had to wake up early and just easily thought to wake up even though i loved the dream. Neo from the Matrix said to Trinity"We have a bit of spare time left, can i free someones mind?"Then someone spilled water over his head and he couldn't control the matrix anymore. i just wanted to get up and woke straight up

Lucky you. You can wake up upon will.
Sometimes when I have a bad dream [maybe people chasing after me or something] I know I am dreaming, and that enough is a comforting fact. However, waking up is a different story. You have NO idea how many times I wanted to wake up in a certain dream and ALL the desperate attempts I did to wake myself up: Jumping down from a high place, flying up high in the sky in order to escape it all, trying to injure myself repeatedly, and all sorts of other things. And sometimes I'll still remain STUCK in the horrible dream. -__-
There are some dreams which I had, were left "hanging". A few weeks [or several days] later, I'd have an "Episode 2" of the dream, some sort like a sequel. =P Yes, then it'd continue from where it left off the last time. It doesn't happen to all my dreams though. =P
But really, that's just a select few of my dreams which I consider unusual and worth telling. The majority of my other dreams are all odd mixtures of different people, places, backgrounds, and plot events mixed together. XD

Maybe you could just try opening your eyes.
That's how I wake myself up from nightmares. Of course, I have to first realise that it is just a dream, and not really happening to me, and that tends to happen when something really terrible is about to happen, just in time.
Really, dreams are the most mysterious things... it's funny how the individual human brain works.

Meep.. I have Lucid dreams, where you realize you are dreaming. xD It's cool, because you can fly or whatever. xD

I'm not quite sure if I have dream repeats or not, because sometimes I feel as if I've had the dream before, but when I check my records, I haven't. Maybe I dream that I've dreamed the dream before?

I used to have lucid dreams a lot. But the lucidity never lasts long, usually only long enough for me to control one or two aspects of the dream.
Once I made the guy I fancied at the time appear, and we started iceskating O_o
Once I was in a movie theatre, and I started flying around (because I had never had a flying dream before, and I wanted to try it)
Here's the weird one though:
I was in a shopping mall, and there was a fire, I realized I was dreaming, and because I had never died in a dream before, I decided not to run. It was weird.
