Do you have realistic dreams ?

Post Reply New Topic

I mean a dream about real people and personal real life situations or even just dreams that have aspects of your personal life in it but more the first.

Nice moves... you must be an artist! Yep, this is just like the technique I described to Wind. Me, I'm just a big kid at heart. I can't resist flying around skyscrapers like superman



I had that too.. but it was a little freakier than that.

It was he middle of the night, and I was dozing when I felt the cat jump up onto the bed. It walked up the bed and started padding around by my back, they way cats do. Then I felt it step up and over me - ( no respect for the sleeping.. cats.. they just walk a lll over you lol ) and settle in on the other side.

And then I remembered. The cat was 200 miles away at my friends house. This must be another cat which has got into the house. I went to reach out to touch it, but I couldn't move my arm. The sleep paralysis as you say. It took a few minutes to finally force it to move, until finally, i managed to reach down to where the cat was to find - it wasn't there! There was no cat! WTF had just walked up the bed and physically put it's weight on me?

It turns out this sort of thing is quite common with sleep paralysis. You can google "ghost cat" and lots of people have reported similar things..

EDIT: I just googled and found this link. I hadn't read this page before but they're describing the same thing.

Ghost Cats

Amazing stuff, and whilst i get how the paralysis works.. I can't for the life of me figure out the cat thing. Unless it really WAS a ghost cat!


These sound like the "heavy" dreams DukeJan describes, and mine can be dark. I did have one - I won't describe it here, but whilst dark, I did have very good plot! I described it to my brother and he agreed it would make quite a good movie.. It had everything. good characters, an interesting story.. increasing jeopardy and a oscar worthy ending with a twist.

The other thing with lucid dreams is that I remember them. They don't fade quickly like normal dreams when I wake up. I remember them just like a normal memory, like it really happened... not surprising really because as far as my brain is concerned, it really did happen!

Something strange always seems to be going on in my dreams and I think my subconscious loves to torment me about my past by making me revisit places I have had all sorts of unpleasantness with, like the hospital. Last night I had the usual dream that I'm stuck in the hospital for no obvious reason and I'm trying to leave but the elevator keeps taking me to everywhere but the ground floor, and I sometimes find myself in a room where people are getting surgery or are chronically ill. The dream then switched to me being at a shopping mall which isn't as unpleasant but apparently I'm trapped there too because there has been a nuclear war and for some reason only me and the other shoppers have survived and we can't leave. I woke up feeling very groggy and with a headache. A side effect from the meds I have to take to sleep every night, maybe?

My dreams are just plain weird. The other night, for example, I was on an art excursion and almost got vaporized by meteors, then had to fly away. I do fly in dreams sometimes... But it's really always out of control and clumsy

I read about the lucid dreams, but doing reality checks all the time would just weird me out... Is there another way?

yes and i can actually control them.

Often for me. Sometimes being in dangerous places (from playing many video games), being less verbal and requiring more help.

I remember my dreams every night. I always have. I still remember some of my dreams from when I was two or three years old. They are realistic in the sense that they are very vivid and detailed just like being awake, but it is extremely rare that the subject matter is something from real life. Very often there is violence in my dreams.

Virtually all of my dreams are either realistic to the point where I can describe specific details as if they were my own memories to being fantastically surreal. In most cases, these aspects combine together to create some really weird dreams.

Yes..sometimes too realistic, but at other times they make absolutely nonsense!

yeah, pretty much.

most of my dreams are probable situations that are similar to something that has already happened in my life, only more exaggerated. lately my dreams have the pattern of starting off as "perfect" (one dream i had recently, started with me getting to finally hang out with the one i love, with her running to hug me ), that turn into stressful, odd, situations that more often than not, occur indoors, or in low light (same dream ending with my drugged up little sister in a small dank room yelling and playing the guitar haphazardly)

i once had a dream that a friend of mine was leaving on a plane to an unknown location (that sequence of the dream was in black and white strangely) the next day my long term substitute art teacher left, i don't remember her announcing her departure beforehand.

my dream situations in retrospect are nearly always ideal, i wake up dissapointed and sad.

I used to naturally get lucid dreams all the time. A lot of them were fun, but some of them were very scary. I don't really like lucid dreaming because a lot of my dreams are unrealistic. I've had dreams where I was trapped in a cartoon world.

That was extremely scary. I also hate when certain laws of physics are broken. I enjoy flying and shape shifting, but I don't want my hand to go through objects or see objects multiply when I touch them. I also don't want to eat food that becomes "mutated".

I often panic when my dreams turn lucid because I'm afraid my brain will mess up. I have OCD tendencies, so I suffer from intrusive thoughts. I don't want my intrusive thoughts in my dreams. They are bad enough when I'm awake.

I invent things in my dreams, or there are normally items in my dreams, which I have never seen, before. Super cool things, and creating some of them has, in fact, been feasible. Presently, I am making 3 different styles of bags, all of which existed in one of my dreams, and hoping to be able to produce and market them in coming months.

I sometimes see weird objects in my dreams as well. Too bad they have no practical use in real life. I do notice that a lot of the clothing I see in my dreams become fashionable in a few months.

Same here.

I dont even dream. So i honestly dont know.

At Tanabata Matsuri in Shizuoka City in 2007, I made 3 wishes (negaigoto):

1.) To become fluent in Japanese.
2.) To live in Japan.
3.) To become a woman.

These 3 things are still my focus, but they are taking longer than I hoped to carry them out.
