PLFXpert 0 #26 August 7, 2008 Every night, almost--a lot of supernatural, a lot of action, a lot of emotion. I've noticed sometimes a dream can affect my mood the next day for better or more often worse. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make it a christian teenage zombie vidiot stalking me on myspace. Have sex with it in the grass on the side of a freeway and later claim rape. Would that count as odd?

skittles_of_SDC 0 #28 August 7, 2008 skydiving dreams can be bad. I just recently started packing for myself and I had a dream that one of my pack jobs took like 3450 ft. to open so I only had 50 feet to save my life and well I couldn't. Is it bad if I'm already having dreams about going in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bolas 5 #32 August 10, 2008 Quote Did a few searches and it seems that dreams are quite important in "offline memory processing." (maybe not the content of the dreams, but the rapid eye movement portion of sleep) The role of sleep in changing our minds: A psychologist's discussion of papers on memory reactivation and consolidation in sleep Induction of Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation during Waking Leads to blah blah blah Rapid-Eye-Movement Sleep I've experienced the "off-line" memory processing, but I've always called it "drunken recall" as when I get really hammered and then later start to catch up on sober sleep my brain kinda replays what I missed. As for weird dreams, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (Southpark creators) have been in my dreams. One involved some weird off balanced motorized vibrating thing mounted on top of a helmet that shook your head all around and just felt weird.

aresye 0 #33 August 10, 2008 As for the most part, I always try to interpret something from my dreams. During this week, I had a dream one night, when I had a pilot chute in tow malfunction. It took me awhile to realize it, and I quickly pull my reserve handle. My reserve comes out, but snivels, and doesn't inflate until about 500ft. high. Then my main comes out and starts getting entangled with my reserve. I end up landing an open chute, but didn't steer at all. Other dreams I've had seem to have different themes. Each one of them has a different feel to them. Some dreams are very emotional, and will leave me feeling a little wierded out the next day. Others don't have too much signifigance. *Edit: I'll post a cool dream I've had. I write down any dreams that seem to have a personal signifigance.Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours.

aresye 0 #34 August 10, 2008 AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Found this one. Was awhile ago. I must have wrote it down just because it was so off the wall: 08JAN08 -In large building, in wooden attic. Grandparents are there. -Grandparents okay with me drinking. (Back when I was underage.) -Outside of house, dog is in a fight against very aggressive chicken. Dog ends up chasing chicken away. -In a mall-like complex, man ends up suffering from a slight heart attack. -I save man's life by caring for him until help arrives. -Discover performance enhancing tablets, allowing a person to jump much higher than before. -Take tablets, and jump around for fun. -Scenario changes to a town down south. Muslim extremists try to steal my car. Then there's a more serious dream, that's very emotional, like this: June 13, 2008 Dream starts off with a view of a large skyscraper. More of a city on the inside, and in the middle of nowhere. Similar to The Island. People are governed by a very oppressive government. Surveilance is everywhere, and the entire scene is very similar to 1984. I want to help the military fight off an incoming attack, but due to my social status, I am not allowed to carry a rifle. Tagging along with the military unit anyway, the city comes under attack from a tank and a few troops. Finding and using a high powered mortar, I destroy the tank. After the attack, I'm allowed to hold one of the rifles for a small amount of time, but soon have to give it up, and return to my normal job. Returning to the living quarters, I run into a father, who's discussing something with his daughter. They both mention to me a small resistance that has begun, to destabilize the government. Interested, they add me to the roster, and the father leaves. I soon become attracted to the daughter, and we both talk to eachother for awhile. During this time, a security guard became suspicious, as only immediately family members are allowed to engage in conversations to eachother. Fooling the guard, he leaves, and we both go back to our daily lives. Dream jumps a couple days forward, and a handful of resistance fighters plus myself, stage a raid on an outpost. Many of these raids are conducted in the next few weeks. Eventually, the government mobilizes the military, and they fight back. During one of the raids, the father, a few of his friends, and myself, are captured during a raid. In a way we knew it would happen. It was time. The general populace was inspired to rise up against the government. Some of the military units search for us through the roof ventilation system, and due to the way it's constructed, fall to their deaths. Three of us avoid execution by jumping off the top of the building, freefalling to the waters below. One of the guys sacrafices himself, by breaking the water below us, saving us. After surviving our escape, we disguise ourselves in order to hide in the general populace, who are rounded up in a theater. Chaos breaks out. A security guard tries to force me to take a mood altering pill, but I refuse, and a large scale street fight breaks out. A few days later, the street fight rages on. I'm part of a small squad, and a large guy attempts to stop us. After a hard fight, the man is defeated. I end up running into the same girl from earlier, and her squad. and then... Nothing happens. I wake up. Even in my dreams I don't get any action Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GaryRay 0 #35 August 10, 2008 ya know its odd that my dreams about skydiving is always something about an emergency or something bad happening and my narrowly escaping which normally happens b/c the ground moves furthur away. like the other night i dreamed that i pulled really low and when my chute deployed i was swung under it and over a cliff that just suddenly appeared and i had to cut away and finally did so at 100' or so and then the cliff just appeared like that again. any pschologists on that can give me reason behind these dreams?/? its quite scary :P.JewBag. www.jewbag.wordpress.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloody_trauma 2 #36 August 10, 2008 dunno why, but i had a crazy skydiving dream... for some reason i was hanging off the side of a mattress that was flying along at a considerable altitude... 14k?, anyways, im hanging on with one hand, and in the other hand i have a rig, i cant climb onto the mattress no matter how hard i tried, and suddenly i dropped the rig and as soon as that happened i let go of the mattress and flew after my rig, i struggled to get it on, somehow i get it on, and after ive got it on, i kept trying to get the chest strap on, all the while feeling the urgency (like panic) of the ground nearby, (which is really dark) i go into a cloud and then i half way woke up ( i think i burned in) and checked myself that i was asleep and to go back to sleep... felt totally real freakin weird... went and jumped the next day...

aresye 0 #40 August 10, 2008 They say that dreams are a way we can look into our own psyche. Now that doesn't say we're all insane, because if we took it litterally, we would be. I try to look for common themes in my dreams. Personally, I keep having a feeling that something bad is going to happen in the future. In my dreams, this feeling is even more profound, and I have many dreams with a post apocalyptic kind of setting. Why do I have these dreams? Well, being the oldest of 6, I feel very protective of all my siblings. These dreams likely illustrate my fears of what may happen, but it also reassures me to know that, in the event something bad does happen, I will protect them, at whatever cost. However if dreams are just bogus, and offer no look into our own lives, then I am clearly the most insane person here.Skydiving: You either learn from other's mistakes, or they'll learn from yours.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #43 August 11, 2008 If you took my comment as an insult that is not how I meant it at all. I'm just saying your dream sounds kinda like movies I've seen. Happens to me all the time, I'll watch movies with lots of shooting and then I'm a hitman in the dream that night. Did you, by chance, watch Equilibrium before going to sleep that night?
