Ever want to control your dreams? Do whatever you want while dreaming?

Don't know but I have the same dream. Either I can't run fast at all or I will be in a fight and I can't punch. That is so frustrating, especially when you know it is a dream and you are trying to punch someone and you know you can get away with it in the dream but not it real life.

Most of my dreams end with me realizing that I'm not wearing any pants.

I used to have this dream whenever I had a fever that continued all the way through HS. I could never remember afterwards what the dream was about but every time I got a little bit closer to remembering. I'd wake up from the nightmare completely freaked out (again, even when I was 17) and be crying and sometimes running around the room. It's some freaky stuff. I haven't had it in 4 years now so maybe it's gone.

Alright, besides fufilling your preverted fantasies, what would be the first thing you'd do in your dream??

i wouldn't do anything really sexual because i'd have to deal with it in the morning...i'd just make out forver i guess
btw, if you see a toilet, dont piss in a dream!!!!

That would be awesome. I've tried to induce lucid dreams on my own but without much success. I usually pop out of the dream with even a little bit of lucidity. Looks like something like this would help a lot.

That happens to me from time to time. Another time is when I dream that I wake up but I can't breathe, or I must breath manually, and I can't move my body. To wake up from this I make myself hyperventilate by breathing fast and then I'll wake up or fall back asleep. I wonder what would happen if I decided not to breathe :Q The thing that scares me is that it feels so real I don't know if I'm really dreaming when those episodes happen!

I get the falling (or rising at a dangerous rate) elevator dreams sometimes, and sometimes I get this dream where I'm in a car and stepping on the gas even lightly lurches the car forward at 60mph but the brakes take forever to slow the car down (and sometimes the car speeds up even when I'm trying to brake).

I've done this a few times and I'm always scared shitless when I wake up, but then I realize the bed is dry.

I used to be able to control my dreams every now and then. When I was a wee lad, I'd have nightmares where I was running away from something but I'm my running was always in a sort of slow motion. When that happened I knew it was a dream so I kicked the ass of whatever was chasing me. Unfortunately, I don't have nightmares any more.

3. I try readin a magazine and I can't read it cuase its all blurry

I have something similar happen to me sometimes. The only difference is that I do start reading it but the sentences don't make any sense.

Congratulations. You have amused me. LOOK down.

 

[Mill]

I get the inability to run dream as well as the car going nuts dream all the time. Those suck. Also the fighting dreams where the punches are real slow blow too.

 

[eLiu]

Hmm...I've realized that I'm dreaming, but it's like...an unconscious realization. Kinda hard to describe...like I'm "aware" that this isn't real, but I can't do anything about it.

I have been able to control one dream...it's recurring & only happens when I'm running a fairly high fever. I feel like I'm in space...like 0 gravity. The room is very dark...i can see the walls though but I can't reach them. So I can like float around and do whatever I want, and it just starts feeling really weird after a while...like my body is being pulled apart. And that's usually about when I wake up.

 

[WarCon]

I remember taking control of a what seemed at the time to be a bad dream. I was being held prisoner (strapped to a wall) and was being tortured. I realized I had to be dreaming and all of the sudden my squad broke through the wall and a wicked fun fight (I won of course) started.

 

[idNut]

That machine doesn't really do a lot for you except give you a hard-on in the morning. Not too many people dream about things apart from sex any more. I dreamt I worked at id and I woke up with a hard-on, heh.

 

[Martin]

I don't want to control my dreams!

My dreams are VERY weird, stuff that can never happen in real life and because I never realize I am dreaming it seems real. Its like being someone else, living in another world, in another life and it seems as real as anything. Why would you want to control your dreams?

 

[oLLie]

Either I haven't dreamt in a long, long time or I just don't remember a single thing (I get plenty of sleep too).

*edit*

That's not a sexual thing I don't think... just a guy thing.

The only thing I do not like it waking up and wanting to finish a dream and you try to but you can't. :|

this is the worst....i have on a couple of occasions finished dreams though after i woke up.....very very very rare.....

I'd like to have more consisten control over my dreams however i doubt i even have the proper sleeping habits to promote this

I've done that a few times in my lifetime too. However, I didn't really fully wake up. It's more like I'm semi-conscious enough to turn off the alarm clock or turn over away from the sunlight before fall back asleep and continuing the dream.

 

[UglyCasanova]

I dream every single night, and I can control it somewhat. When I dream, I know that it is a dream, but then again I don't. Nothing ever makes sense in them. It's not like an ordinary day of my life. Either the same things happen over and over or something stupid like I drive off with some friends and we end up in Mexico, but the cops are after us because one of them is a hooker and they're cracking down on it. It's just turns to stupid stuff like that.

Other times I will have a dream that ends up being a near spiritual experience. It almost seems as if I'm dead. I end up in a state of complete relaxation and everything feels nice and warm. These are the best, but I can't control them. That is probably my highest state of dreaming, where I am totally out of control and my body feels like it's floating. I'm not doing anything like in my other dreams, I just sit there in a swirling mist of lights like a cloud, and I don't ever want to wake up. Waking up after that is bad, because you don't want to move. You can never purposely have one of these dreams, though. They also don't occur every night like the others.

 

[ander]

I remember reading about this in Popular Mechanics maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Cool that I didn't just make it up...well, too bad I didn't.

Someone try it!

 

[LongCoolMother]

i get the inability to run dream too. and its really frustrating because i tend to dream of track races (i do track in school) and i feel like i cant run even though i know i can fast.

besides that, i dont get as many dreams as i used to (rare). but when i do, they are repeating, like me falling off a cliff and waking right when i hit the bottom. its funny, because i dont remember the dreams clearly at all after waking up, and they are out of my mind real fast. i never read had *nightmares* although i do dream of dying/getting killed, but they arent SCARY.

anyway, there have been a few times in which i realized i was in a dream and i wanted to wake up, but i couldnt. so i got myself together, and commited suicide (jumping off a cliff) i think. and that caused me to wake up

I know this feeling, it's almost like you're dreaming that you know - a dream within a dream. Or something like that..

 

[Freejack2]

I rarely am able to control my dreams. On occasion I know I have but it doesn't help when I rarely remember my dreams.

Lately though I've been having dreams where this Allanon guy keeps telling me I have to go to this hadeshorn lake or something like that.

 

[murphy55d]

if anyone buys this thing, ive got a bridge in central pennslvania for sale, if interested.



Not that it wouldn't be cool though... but isn't the randomness of dreams part of the fun?

 

[TallBill]

man... when i was in junior high to early high school, i could control my dream every night.. had some weird ones too! i dunno how i thought of the stuff, but it was interesting
