What do you think of them? Visions of the future? A link to a parallel universe? Or just something that messes with your thoughts and you find really frustrating? If Jahzel doesn't post a response, I'll be really disappointed.

I read somewhere that they're to filter stuff out of your mind that isn't supposed to happen, but for some reason, I sometimes get visions of the future in them. On at least two occasions, I've seen a vision of a place, and then gone to that place or one that looks very similar at a later date.

I'm sure we all get that that sometimes. I too see the future rarely.

I can't remember any dreams really...
I remember 3 dreams out of the WHOLE of my life, 2 being nightmares, and 1 being a normal dream.

Day dreaming:
Our brains way of entertaining us when we're not masturbating

Night dreaming/regular dreaming:
Our brains way of entertaining us when we have nothing better to do than to wait for us to wake up, so we can masturbate.

Skaffa en flickv?n, NU!

I've also had those kind of dreams, when you see something and then a while later you see the exact same think IRL.

I think everything we dream about is connected to what's going on in our lives, allthough it may appear in different forms in dreams.

dumb example:
you dream about a bike, and that is really connected with your wish to travel far away from your home.

But you see my point, everything is connected in some way to your life.

Oh man... you don't know how many times I've posted about dreams...

Dreams:
Another of Bratty's Theories:

I'll jump right into it.

Dreams are the work of our subconcious mind. We only remember the dreams that we wake up in the middle of. What I mean is, when you wake up, you are in a rift between you're subconcious mind and your concious mind. This may explain why hard sleepers rarely remember their dreams.

The human mind is obviously a very interesting thing, and it never ceases to amaze me. When you "Dream about the Future", is where the mind's greatest wonders come to work:

Imagination may not only be imagination. What if you were so creative, Imaginative, or whatever else you want to call it, that your subconcious mind worked faster than reality. Then, you would wake up during dreams that reflect events yet to happen.

This has happened to be, and continues to happen. Freaks the hell out of me. Its not Dejavu (Spelling!), like most people have and Vassy has just described, but something more. Exact events, precise thoughts, everything that happens, all I have done before, together. It is the oddest feeling I have ever had, and I usually get it about once every two weeks. I try and fight it, but I cannot. I realize that everything is unstoppable, and that it WILl happen nomatter what.

one moment, I will continue later... I'm freaking myself out.

Everything in life happens for a reason.

You drove to work, after you filled up your gas because it was empty because you went drinking last night because your house was a mess because you are depressed because your wife left you because you drink too much and have anger problems because your father beat you because his wife left him because he drank too much and he made the house a mess, because you have to go to work so you can get money so you can hire someone to clean your house so you won't be depressed so you won't go out drinking so your wife comes back so she can have a happy family.

All cause and effect

I've also had those kind of dreams, when you see something and then a while later you see the exact same think IRL.

D?j? vu?

"D?j? vu has been subjected in recent years to serious psychological and neurophysiological research. The most likely candidate for explanation, according to scientists in these fields, is that d?j? vu is not an act of "precognition" or "prophecy" but is actually an anomaly of memory; it is the impression that an experience is "being recalled" which is false. his is substantiated to an extent by the fact that in most cases the sense of "recollection" at the time is strong, but any circumstances of the "previous" experience (when, where and how the earlier experience occurred) are quite uncertain. Likewise, as time passes, subjects can exhibit a strong recollection of having the "unsettling" experience of d?j? vu itself, but little to no recollection of the specifics of the event(s) or circumstances they were "remembering" when they had the d?j? vu experience."

Isn't that fairly obvious?

Do you even know what d?j? vu is?

I get that a lot

This may explain why hard sleepers rarely remember their dreams.

Bu I'm a hideously light sleeper, someones opens/closes a door nearby and I wake up...which really, really sucks...because I love sleep.
And yet I remeber no dreams really.

I made a really long post about dreams, freud+jung and how to control your dreams....it didnt post. I'm not repeating myself, but I felt my post was pretty frickin informative.

I think that its incredible that your mind can produce such vivide images. Complex 3D rendering thats so detailed and realistic that even a supercomputer couldnt handle it. And our mind isnt even trying. At least in my case my dreams look so real that I cant even tell that I am dreaming.

Has anyone ever had the same dream more than once? I distinctly remember a couple of dreams I had when I was really young (4 or 5) (I won't say them here cos they're really weird and make very little sense unless you know enough about me and where I live), and after having the dream, I thought it was weird but thought nothing more of it. Then, a couple of years ago (I was about 12), I had the same dream, and a few months later, I may have had the other dream again (I can't remember though). Does anyone think there's a meaning to this?

I've never had a recurring dream.

I did once. Can't remember it now. A week or so ago, though, I remember dreaming that I'd drunk the non-drinkable shampoo instead of the nice minty drinky one, and I had to go and see a doctor or something.

That kind of happended me once, a kid swapped mouthwash and some cleaning agent. It wasn't my house and the mouthwash was medicince bottle stuff, so, not knowing the taste of bleach I gargled regardless. My mouth started 'fizzing' so I rinsed it. A lot. Couldn't get the taste out for ages

I constantly dream about frienship etc these days, but i used to dream about women quite alot a lil while ago

Its weird how however you try and have the dream the next nite by thinking off it it wont work, but if you jus forget things in your conscious state they normally appear that night, i belive dreaming is a way of clearing all the subconscious shit from you brain thats why they are often not remebered, you may only remember the dream just before you wake up cause you have actually made an effort to remeber it as soon as you wake up.

Heh, <mad stare, taps head intensely> defragging for the BRAIN.

96a2107...I sometimes get friendship dreams, not v. often though.

OMG!! that just happened to me agian

but this time, I accedentally hit the back button on my mouse, and when I tried to come back forward, my stuff was gone!!

Whats funny is that we understand more about our entire universe and more about quantum mechanics than we do about how our own minds work.

tis' funny my lad... give it a good hearty laugh..
ah. ha. ha.

ahh... tis' good.

I have had the same dream at least 5 times maybe in my life...I'm not going to go into it.
But there is this other dream I have every so often where I will be doing something random, then I can feel this sensation, even though I'm sleeping, that "the thing" is going to happen. And then I hear like this constant insane loud shrill noise and either a dead face, or a skull or some other scary sight is like filling up my "view" and if I don't wake up before "the thing" happens it's like...wow, it's so bad that I've remembered to wake up in time ever since the first few dreams, ever since I was about 5.

wow... That sucks...

I have had very similar dreams to that, although I always end up being mutalated in some way..

I used to have a recurring nightmare about the exhaust hoses you find on clothes dryers. They would come out of the wall and slither down like a snake. I would scream and hold out my hand and they would fly at it and swallow my arm. I had these dreams from when I was 3 years til 5 years old. I must have had that dream like 50 times. I was afraid to go to sleep during that time. I still find myself putting my hands under something when I sleep. But I harldy ever have nightmares anymore.

putting my hands under something when I sleep

I do that too...

I have dreams where Im falling from way high and it feels so real. Of course i always wake up before i hit the ground. And then sometimes i can fly around like im superman or something.

I once had a dream where I was running from a falling fat man. But it was no ordinary fat man, he was the size of an office building. He fell on me, and it didn't feel good i can tell you that.

I heard something about only 10% of men dream in color? Is that true? I dream in color...

I don't dream at all :
I did when I was younger.

I'm sure y'do, Loffe, you just don't remember it, like me.

I see color in my dreams.

I think I do too. As well as in B+W (or greyscale).

All my dreams are color :

I am a strong believer of the paranormal and the astral plane. I see dreams as a sneek peek at the astral world (if you will)

Yes. However it does allow us to pretend that our posts contained the answer to the meaning of life, but we just can't be arsed retyping.

Let us all rejoice and kick atoms shins together...

I've had strange dreams that seem to be quite rational. Especially the one time when I dreamed about seeing (from a birds-eye view) the area of Manhattan. I remember watching this small tornado edge it's way off the coast towards the city, causing some damage. Funny thing is, the next day I woke up only to see on the news, from a birds-eye view (helicopter footage) a tornado coming off the coast towards the city, causing some damage. At the time I wasn't at all startled (I had to go to college btw) until when I really began to wonder just what I had seen. This was pretty weird.

My mom had something similar once, when she kept having a reoccurring dream about a car accident under a motorway bridge involving my two uncles and aunt. She said that in the dream my one uncle's heart had stopped and that my other uncle was helping him out. She saw everything through the eyes of my aunt (her sister). She tried to warn my aunt about her dream, but nothing really was thought of it until there was actually a car crash under the motorway bridge where upon my uncle's heart, losing control of the car. My other uncle steered the car over to the safety of the embankment and began to resuscitate my other uncle.

I really want to learn remote viewing, I'm sure there are classes somewhere in this country.

I've also come close to getting an OBE. I even heard the clicking noise you hear when your higher dimensional self slowly forces itself from the magnetic grasp of the third dimensional self. Unfortunately, I panicked, stopping anything else from taking place.

I've even awoken to find my chest being crushed by something I could not see or make out. When I shouted "Fuck off!", it went. I learned this off somebody ages ago, that the best way to get rid of anything demonic is to curse it off. Sounds pretty funny, but it seemed to work back then. It might have been sleep paralysis, as they say, but the fact is, it did go when I told it to 'f' off, and I'm pretty sure I was awake.

Anyway, back to you...

Woohoo! The great Jahzel posts...that's interesting. I love the bit at the end.

Jahzel, it might just have been you waking yourself up by shouting. Sounds a helluva lot more likely to me than a (tubby) evil demon sitting on your chest.

I swear that's what happened, no word of a lie!

Sleep paralysis. I've had it. A LOT. To the point where I'm afraid to sleep without the TV on. My dad can't sleep without TV on but I think that was long kesh, rather than it being genetic.

Jahz: you need better sleep patterns mate, I got back into a 9-5, but as long as you don't change your sleep patterns TOO much all the time it won't happen.

An interesting thing about this: if you were american i'd put money on you seeing aliens, rather than witches.

• does his TWHL is having GOOD threads lately dance.

Keep it up, people.

I don't think a Serious Discussion forum would be that bad an idea...

...itself from the magnetic grasp of the third...

I think ,I have that I could guess that the T.V is on or not (volume off) from outside my house ,I hear like tiny footsteps (magnetic field or something)

Is that count ?

:

Wow I actually started a good thread.

Good job Vassy

BTW, I dream not in pictures, but in like total 3d... its odd. When I am dreaming, I can see what is behind an object when I am on the other side of it. I have only had 1 dream without color. Twas very odd. My aunt was sitting in a chair, screaming, and her dog was sitting on the ground next to her, doing nothing...

I don't dream at all

everybody dreams. People have about 1 dream every 3 seconds when they are asleep. I forget where I read that, but I believe it.

Yes. However it does allow us to pretend that our posts contained the answer to the meaning of life, but we just can't be arsed retyping.

heh.. yeah.

*kicks atom's other shin and runs away

small tornado edge it's way off the coast towards the city,

A tornado in Manhattan???
are you sure???

My mom had something similar once,

Let me explain:

There has been much evidence of so-called "Psychic Abilities? that obviously have a place in the bloodline. I do believe you?re story now that you included the piece about your mother. Once again the human mind has left me speechless.

I do believe in Special Abilities that people have, like we discussed before, my odd ability to see someone?s energy being released off of them (In hippy terms ?Aura?). I also have that odd way that my dreams occur. When I have one of those dreams, I am never outside of my body. I am always there, and thinking too? the oddest thoughts anyone dared to think.

I do believe that these abilities run in the blood-line. My Mother can also see Auras, though she never has had one of those dreams (As far as I know). My Great Aunt, who I only met when I was very young, had the strangest abilities I had ever seen. You had to be in the room with her to understand it. She was freaky. Although she was blind, right when you walked into her room, she knew who was there. Only until she lost her memory did she loose that ability. She had dreams? dreams like I do? but I never really had the chance to ask her of it. I was very young, and didn?t understand this like I do now.

I know a lot of you think I?m pretty crazy right now, and I am starting to think I?m a little nuts too, but the fact is that I come from interesting blood. On my Mother?s side, they had the ?Special Abilities?, and on my Father?s side? well, I?ll be short with this.

My Great Grandfather on my father?s father?s side was a genious. My Father?s mother was also a genious (according to tests). Whats odd was that if you gave my Great Grandfather a long row of numbers? any length? he could multiply them out in a matter of a few minutes. I only know this story from hearsay, but I also know that he went a little? insane.

Slowly, as I grow older, I understand more and more about my interesting bloodline, and also aquire more interesting new abilities myself (Such as playing anything I hear on the piano? when I?ve never played the piano before in my life)

You must be thinking ?Well, Brattys finnaly gone nuts?, but the truth is, I believed this even before I came to TWHL, but I decided to post it now? interested at Jahzel?s post, since its all starting to add up.

BTW, I dream not in pictures, but in like total 3d... its odd. When I am dreaming, I can see what is behind an object when I am on the other side of it.

Seeing as this is a mapping site, I feel justified in pointing out that this could be due to a poor graphics card and wallhacks :P.

More seriously: I believe in the power of humans as yet unresearched to a degree.

I believe in the power of humans as yet unresearched to a degree.

If we could understand the human mind, it would be so simple that we couldn't understand it in the first place.
