Carl Sagan Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Love there are other lucid dreamers on here. And I love my cinematic dreams, often alien invasions or hiding out in different epochs in time, being pursued by baddies. And sometimes they last for years, so it's very disconcerting when I wake up. But perhaps my favourite dreams are playing football for Derby or England (the only teams my dream self turns out for). Everything I do works out exactly as intended - it's beautiful. I've scored many a hattrick for both. Who's to say it's any less real than our waking lives? Perhaps I'm a brilliant Derby footballer who's currently dreaming I'm a fan on a forum? TimRam and ramit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time and hopefully the last. Almost as scary as seeing Kevin Francis come on as a winger in 1990. Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot believe how bad it’s got I wake up with a headache mostly about stress related incidents at work sometimes more than twenty years ago. I think it must be down to my subconscious not accepting I have retired hopefully it settle down after a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell yourself and believe that dream world is your domain, you are in control there, turn to face your chaser, it will submit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being worried about having disquieting dreams must be as stressful as having a house that doesn't feel like your home and you don't want to return to. As @ramitsays, it is possible to learn to sometimes control your dreams, and it may help. ramit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around thirty years ago I had a dream, a very precise clear dream, one of those more real than real dreams, if you catch my meaning. I won't recount it here, but I dreamed of my wife and of my son many years before they became a reality for me. Don't discount the super realistic dream, there is more to this reality and your destiny than your senses can acquire in the waking state. I had a dream myself and some other rock fans were having a 'group hug' and cheering with the AC/DC guitarist Malcolm Young. The next day, mate call me to say Mal had passed away. Just an example. ramit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even working at home on a laptop sends shivers down my spine. I also keep having nightmares about young people being brainwashed at university they will never retire until they are in their eighties. I work from home as freelance and still have dreams about my old office jobs. In one office dream, two co workers asked me for something and I started to feel stressed. I said "Hang on, this is a dream isn't it?" They laughed and said Yes. Dreams are weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I often have vivid dreams which sometimes end up with me in claustrophobic situations and I wake at 4am in a panic. I have to stay awake for 30 mins to get my head into something else. I always feel shattered the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Don't know what is going on with my dreams lately, maybe it's new medication I have to take. Dreamed I was the president of the USA no less and I liked to hang out with Trump. Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 If I dream, I certainly don't remember them. I understand that there are a number of theories as to why we dream, but I'm completely unaware as to whether I do or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
