Linux dreams

*ahem*

There once was a woman from Brewster,
who dreamt of a man who seduced her.
But she woke up to find,
it was all in her mind.
A spring in her mattress had goosed her.


Thank you, I'm here all week.

There once was a man from Nankeen,
who dreamt of a giant ice cream.
When applied to his willy,
it felt very chilly,
and made him awake with a scream.

Me too!

My favorite dreams have been ones where somewhere along the line I realized they were dreams, and thus started to change things more to my liking.

yeah, that's somewhat rare for me though... when it happens, it's more like being half awake, and half asleep, and as such, having my eyes half open, and half shut..... it's really more scary than anything..... bumbling around not able to see anything

just watched blade runner....hence the comment

anyway on a serious note i tend to dream how ever when i leave it be...i dream an event which tends to happen a day or two later. And then if i wanted to i also have lucid capabilities

So tell us more ... Are you saying you dream about future events? How much control do you have over your dreams? :sleep:

for the future dreams i can dream somthing realy trivial in the day, of course theres theories that i realy just planing subconsiously or im reminded about the dream through a certain trigar and do some of the actions in the dreams, or i can predict the future to a extent.

The lucid dreaming is a hard thing to do....requires alot of practise and disaplin to do so. yes as someone said(name evades me) it requires the person to be in a state between sleep and awake. hence it is dificult whats more deficult is maintaing the balance, and having a clear enouth mind to lucid dream. I quite litraly have full control over the dream

There is a theory I read about once that we share a collective unconscious. A kind of 'dream internet'. One person might dream about something in Berlin and someone in Moscow might have a very similar dream.

The idea was that we all subconciously decide what the future will be. Some people are able to pick up on that and 'predict' events.

I read a story about Carl Jung, who was one of the fathers of modern psychology. He was talking to one of his patients who was describing a particularly strange and troubling dream. Dr. Jung walked over to his book shelf and took down a volume about dreams. He opened it and said, 'Here, don't worry about your dream. Someone else has already had it.'

I think your lucid dream abilities could be very useful.

I used to be able to lucid dream when I was in college. The mind is alert, the subconscious is in full force but the body is still asleep. Many folks have what is called "sleep paralysis" which is pretty much the same thing. Then there is the other extreme called "night fright." It occurs in some children and rarely in adults. My daughter has had night fright and so has my son. It happens typically after a long and tiring day, or after too much excitement. The childs body wakes up but their brain is still asleep fighting to regain consciousness. This condition is VERY alarming! In an effort to wake their mind, the child screams and flails about uncontrollably. It is no use trying to comfort them since they are unaware. This will go on for anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour in extreme cases. The only thing you can do is make sure they don't hurt themselves and leave them alone. Eventually the body will fall back into regular sleep. Later when they awake, they act completely normal as if nothing ever happened.

Wow I bet that would be pretty scary. Usually I never remember dreams but it seems after reading this thread the first day it was posted I had a dream that I threw something away (not on my computer) and it caused my computer not to work. When I woke up I though that it had actually happened so I ran in the other room and checked the computer, everything was fine and I went back to sleep.

I had a severe sleep paralysis problem in high school. It's horrible. You wake up and you can't move at all, except for a little bit in your toes and you can move and close your eyes. This can happen for hours even. Then sometimes you hallucinate if you are really tired.
Although I've heard people claim waking up to these and having orgasms for all those hours in sleep paralysis too... somehow I just don't think you can trust everything on the internet.
