yup depending on my mood i can decide or not to dream and usually have a good attempt at what i will "awake" into
yup when my life was fucked up i could never escape eg my flying could only reach about 10 feet off the ground, frustrating as fuck.
do you get many like that?
@deliguy, same same but different mate, until this thread had no idea really that everyone didnt dream like i do
No, I always feel fine. To note something Soupy bought up though, I suffer with sleep paralysis as well, although in my case it's always as I'm just nodding off and will be accompanied with a rushing sound (like when you close your eyes really tight) and the feeling of being thrown around and/or violent shaking.
I can then open my eyes, often in terror and I'm unable to move for a while. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I hate it.
I've never not dreamt in colour and didn't realise there was another way of dreaming... I have experienced most senses in my dreams, because I often smoke and eat.
I experience nothing. I either chose to wake up, or the dream changes. If neither of those happens and I hit the floor, the dream kind of continues like nothing has happened. Remember, in most cases I've thrown myself off something (normally very high) for fun because I'm aware I'm dreaming. I also suffer with vertigo so it's like confronting a fear, which I can enjoy in my dreams.
EDIT: I was set on fire once and that was unpleasant, but the feeling quickly went and I woke up.
Alot of detail. Conversations, people, locations...
No, although I have had dreams affect me in real life. In that I fell in love in a dream and really like the person in real life for a long period of time afterwards. My ex-girlfriend was actually asked out on the back of a dream.
See what I said about shaking above. Although in fairness, I don't "transition". I get in to bed, I go to sleep, I'm dreaming. I don't have various types of dream that I can really differentiate between. It's all one and the same. Dreaming is very rarely uncontrolled (although I always know I'm dreaming) and that's not consciously done, it just is the way it is.
That's the best way to put it, I don't try to sleep in a certain way, I go to sleep and controlling my dream is an accepted by product of the fact I'm dreaming and the fact I'm aware I'm dreaming.
Sometimes, if i become too aware or too controlling though, I do wake up. Although I can wake myself on command and can sometimes go back into the same dream where I left off.
I almost regret my username at times because rather than being the ironic name I hoped it was it seems I'm often trying to sound arrogant! I'm not.
I was a big fan and still am but not like I used to. What inspired me was Vanilla Sky. Have had several lucid dreams and a dream journal was what helped me
I was killed in one of my dreams - extremely realistic down to the person that did it (a "friend" who I never really trusted), and the way it was done. Freaked me the fuck out - woke up in a panic, heart racing, sweating etc. Most realistic dream ever, but I always heard if you die in a dream you die in real life, so thankfully that's not true.
yeah guys, don't be scared if you get killed your dream - it just means something bad is gonna happen to you in real life, but you won't die.
No -- if you die in the matrix then you die in real life.
If you die in your dreams you're just clinically insane--you know --in a manner of speaking. But hey you're in good company!
I lucid dream a lot, but I also have sleep paralysis a lot... which sucks.
I remember dying in a really realistic dream and then being offered to 'reload' to an older part of the dream. But before I could give an answer I woke up in a similar panic.
I dreamt me and a friend were parked in his car, a guy came at the window and began harassing us, I felt the fight or flight reaction. A machete was in my hand, I got out of the car-basically jumped over the hood and with 1 swing severed the attackers head. The head rolled on the pave and I picked it up, holding it like a mortal kombat finishing move, then I woke up.
I was reading '[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Men-Tell-Tales-Anthropologist/dp/0385479689"]Amazon.com: Dead Men Do Tell Tales: The Strange and Fascinating Cases of a Forensic Anthropologist (9780385479684): William R. Maples, Michael Browning: Books[/ame]' at the time, pretty sure it had something to do with it.
Side note: My first sex dream was with little mermaid, don't remember all the details but I was VERY excited when I got up- Lol.

I had this problem 5 years ago, which lasted for about one year.
ie. In one of my dreams, I would open my eyes, couldn't move, looking at the ceiling and seeing the shadow figures in the corner of my eye approaching to my bed whispering words I couldn't understand. As they got more closer and closer, their whispers would "sound" louder and louder. I would try to scream, but never could. When I finally woke up, my pulse would be at least 150. It was a terrifying experience each time I had it and it occurred every couple of days or so.
If I understand correctly "sleep paralysis" is normal and happens every time you go to sleep. Without it you would constantly be waking yourself up. You are not normally aware of it because . . . . you are asleep. When awaking from a lucid dream it is not uncommon for me to be immobile for several seconds.
I've never had a "wet dream", but I did use to have a ridiculously intense crush on Disney's graphic rendering of Pocahontas.
Almost every time. Last night I did again, couldn't feel a damn thing but was watching myself in a hybrid of 1st and 3rd person view walking/talking to people.
I rarely have lucid dreams, but when I do it feels creepy when I wake up from them.
Last night (or this morning) I had a dream I was flying over an Irish castle, although I wasn't in Ireland. Flying dreams mean you're soaring or something. If so, yay!
I constantly have dreams that are set away from home. Either I'm on a journey or trying to get home. It's funny because when I dream about places I know, they never look as they really do in my dreams.
I always dream in color. Anybody dream in black and white?

I've only been able to lucid dream about 4 of the times I've tried it but it's pretty intense. My most recent one was I couldn't quite fly in, I would jump and get to about 25ft off the ground and just flap my arms and stay there for a few seconds, then slowly drift down. I remember trying to get something off the roof.
