This is interesting. What did it feel like during death? Or after you died? Did you just spawn again? Or did you have a near-deathlike experience?

Sector 2 made sector 1 look like boot camp................ I made it in the top 10, but I woke up when I was shot.
Lucid dreams are amazing.

It's now a recurring dream - IRL! :lol: What other prophetic dreams have you dreamt up? photonrider winning the Powerball?

About the sleep paralysis, or catalepsy, as some of you suffer - do not be frightened of it - only makes it worse. There are no demons around you. There is no heavy black dog seated on your chest. These are the streaming apps that your hardware (brain) manufactures from the software (your recorded experiences). What is actually happening is that while you are aware (conscious, though physically asleep) the link between your motor-controls and your decision-making is unconnected. As you become aware in your dream consciousness that you are paralyzed, first mentally relax. Then focus, forgetting everything else, only on your breath. Start to breathe in and out slowly, working towards deeper breaths - and you will soon gently find yourself awake and come to life.
Just like when you took your first breath.

It just felt like something heavy pounded on my chest if I remember this right, then suddenly I was watching the battle like a sort of spectator mode. When I died in sudden death it was probably the fact that I couldn't respawn that I woke up. That, too, felt like a heavy pound on my body.
 
I had a terrible/epic/horrifying/uber-awesome dream last night. Let me explain. The dream was from my perspective. (Not a lucid dream) Can't wait to see the sequel, if there is one tonight!

I enter at my home, in my town, with my family: My parents, my sister, and my dog. I do school normally and get home (we live in a very small town). When I get home, my dog was acting funny: increased slobber, red eyes, and alot meaner than usual (She is an outside dog. She is normally nice and friendly). My dad is curious, but after she bites him, he shoots her with a shotgun.

My dad held a cookout that night with my family. As he cooked, the sky turned a blackish brown, something I can't really explain. All of a sudden, a siren goes off. My family and I are standing around in the yard, curious of what the siren means. Just then a friend (who we will refer to as "Nicole") entered the back way fence leading to the yard (we have a front and back). My mother asked, "Nicole? Is that you? What's wrong?". Just then, Nicole lets out a horrendous scream and proceeds to eat my mothers' face.

My adrenaline kicks in and I storm inside the house to reach for a shotgun. Just as I grab it from the gun cabinet and turn around, Nicole is staring in my face.

That's were the dream ends. (Buzz Killington) My heart beated out of my chest, I was sweaty, and I had tons of adrenaline. Time for bed, hopefully round 2 is tonight!
 
Zombies! Those are my only nightmares. The zombies themselves aren't scary, it's the emotional trauma and feelings you experience. For example, I have 4 siblings, all are younger than me, and all are less than nine years old. I sometimes dream of trying to save them from hordes and leading them across large cities, hallways, etc. and there's always a zombie there. Either that, or me hiding without weapons while having a zombie look for me. Or just trying to find a hiding spot with zombies close by, or the thought of your family to help. Scares the 🤬 out of me.

I haven't really been able to dream since school started (I now sleep at 12 midnight), so today I've taken the extra precautions to sleep early. Wish me luck, as well.
 
One of my biggest nightmares I had this year was when I was looking out my bedroom window. I saw what seemed to be an airplane high up in the air holding still. It shined a light at me as if I was being tracked by a government spy bot. As I moved, the light moved to track me. It started to look more like a head, which looked exactly like this. Spotlights were coming out of its eyes. I look out my other window to see the floating head again, measuring about 6 feet tall, flying by at ground level up close. I panic, run, and see a massive flash in my room as if a light many times brighter than the sun flashed outside, causing a big yellow/pink afterimage. I woke up after hearing a strange noise, my heart and breathing racing.

The good news is that it resulted in an unintentional 1-hour WBTB that resulted in a lucid dream where I practiced flying. :)

I've had many of those dreams over the years, some major, others minor. Too bad that I haven't dreamed of Jeff Gordon winning the championship yet. :lol:

I can't remember most of those dreams, if they come back to me then I will tell you guys about them.

Thank you for responding. 👍

Strangely enough what you have experienced (heavy pounding feeling) is what dozens of people experienced (and documented in several books on NDEs) when they returned back to the consciousness of their bodies after a Near Death Experience.

If that helps.. . . ;)

Sier_Pinski - freaky.:crazy: Try to analyse the symbolisms in your dreams. Maybe the 'messages' you are receiving are not for you alone. Many dreamed of the 9/11 attack before the actual event took place.
There is a lot more to our subconscious than the 4F Effect.
 
I can remember I dreamt about something, with a picture. The picture showed a “scene”, of my previous classroom, with people looking in different directions. At first I couldn't understand it - it's a long time ago, by the way, - but on the next day the “scene” from the picture, really took place. Even though, it wasn't as special as the 9/11-attacks, I guess I predicted the future... Just a bit. I have had those “Déjà vu's” a few times, after this... It feels wierd.

Storm - get a Voice Recorder and keep it by your pillow. Or use a cellphone app if you have one. When you wake up groggy, half asleep and still in the 'dream state' push that button and start talking - anything that comes into your head - images, feelings, whatever you are experiencing, then shut off and go back to sleep; quite often a person wakes up at a crucial point in the dream - much like the mind saying 'okay, now remember this, and act on it' while in the middle of deep sleep. There are various states one goes through - and trying to get something written while you are in a Alpha or even Theta state is difficult. However when you awaken enough to get into Beta, the whole dream is sometimes lost. So try to retain the dream state, and just mumble what you want. Don't try to be erudite. Later on - after you awake fully and listen to the recording, then jot down notes, and maybe other parts of the dream may come to you because the key words you have recorded may jog your memory as to the location of the others, and you will be able to recover them.
As I mentioned before - a dream journal is very important - especially if you are pursuing the art of conscious dreaming or dream recall. Also - the meanings of your dreams may not become clear immediately; sometimes many months pass before you recognise that what is happening to you in real life is closely related to a dream about it.
Example - you may dream that you are driving a Fire Engine around your work place and people are looking at you oddly. Six months later you get fired. Get the connection?
The right brain talks in odd ways - and has only the dictionary of the left brain to work with.
Always remember that dream symbolism is personal - no one can really interpret your dreams for you better than you can yourself.
Just a case of working on it. Like anything else. Good Luck - and may you have the best dreams ever. ;)

Have you ever tried to reach into your own subconscious through lucid dreaming? It's basically when you're able to "speak" to your subconscious, and your subconscious responds to you.

Example:

*In a dream

*Aware I'm lucid dreaming

Me: Show me happiness.

*The scene changes to what your subconscious believes to be happiness

---

Me: Show me what I want

*The scene shows my biggest desires, etc.

It's very interesting.

You have put it fairly simply, or maybe succinctly - but, yes, Image Streaming in all its forms can give you answers (or the best possible potentiality) to the questions you ask of it.
Learning how to speak its complicated language takes diligent practise, though - much like the benefits of Yoga can be felt only though disciplined and consistent asanas; no amount of reading Wiki or Paramahansa Yogananda will give you the glow of healthy chakras.
Most people dismiss the phenomenon with possible answers of their own as to the existence of the subconscious and its activity - but most people don't really try more than once or twice before giving up to say it's baloney. Those who succeed never come back.
As usual - there is a huge amount of printed material about it. Whether to accept the material as true or not, let alone experience the phenomenon, one must partake. Or be shut out.
Which I guess is why real Mediums are rare.
Then again - it depends on the 'you'. Does an ape have a subconscious? And having evolved this far - does the naked ape have a subconscious? In which case - does the subconscious also evolve? At this point in time, it appears that a part of humanity believes so.

And where then does the conscience fit in with this subconciousness? Or is the conscience merely the consciousness of programming?
Probably an answer I'll ask for - if only I would go to bed. :)
 
Cool dream I didn't want to end. Dad and I got on a plane to go to the UK. I've never been in a plane before so the interior didn't make a whole lot of sense. It was like packed with bus seats with seat belts and while I'm sitting in the back quadrant, can fully see out the front window... and mind you the view was huge, like a movie screen, as if the walls were transparent.

The airport is no other than the one I live closest to, but somehow the plane took a really low lift off, driving just meters above the freeway nearby (QEW for those who live here), going under the overhead signs, ramps and bridges like the plane was the size of a jet or something. On this freeway, it eventually reaches the shore of Lake Ontario, and that's when the pilot pulls the plane up a bit more, but still ridiculously low for a economy plane. From it, I could see a beautified lake, with Centre Island that magically got moved closer to the main land. Place looked like the tropical beach. But anyway, the plane was flying about as low as a hang glider would, so I could get a big view of the city, unlike being at normal altitudes above the clouds.

If the course didn't change, I imagine the plane would have stayed at lower heights throughout the entire trip but then that's when I woke up at 9:48 realizing I should have been up an hour earlier.
 
I was playing a lot of Resident Evil 6 recently and there are places in the game where you open cupboards and drawers to loot stuff. So the dream started when I entered a house and started looking around for stuff. I saw a guy standing way over on the other end of the hallway and thought he didn't notice me so I went ahead and opened the drawer that was close by. After a couple of seconds, he realized I was there, he went into a room and came out with a hunting rifle. He started firing it my way and a natural response from me was of course to return fire. I had a submachine gun because the whole thing felt like I was playing a video game, a very realistic one, like The Matrix or something. I ran out the house with him giving chase. After putting a good distance between me and him, I realized the cops were now on to me. Instinctively I dropped my gun and had my hand on my head. I don't know why but it felt so real, the fear of getting caught up in a shootout with the police and ending up dying. As they approached, I felt I was shot on the back but it turned out to be just a bean bag. This happened a few days ago.

And today, I dreamed that a chunk of my hand fell out. The hand that I had surgery done on and recovered a couple months ago. I could see the bone or what looks to be the bone in there along with a metal strip. Strangely enough, I do not have any metal permanently inserted in my hand during the surgery.

Both dreams were equally scary. :scared:

Thank you, so how do you start a lucid dream anyway?
Click to expand...

By noticing that your gay vegetarian Jewish friend is eating pork sausages and making out with a boy. At that moment you know you are in a dream and can now lucid dream. CONGRATULATIONS!

That's how it ACTUALLY works for me.
 
I'm largely unsuccessful in trying to lucid dream. I can get to the point where I realize I'm conscious, but I lose it right away. However, a while back I controlled a dream for the longest time and it was amazing. Dreamt I was floating through space and that's what I held onto, visiting numerous cosmic formations - stars, galaxies, etc.
 
I had a dream that I was lying in my bed having a nap/rest. Like, when you wake up on the weekend and just lie there for half an hour.
 
I had a dream where I was able to play my 10-year-old Crash Bandicoot: TWoC even though it has been broken for long. Shame it ended, I had almost forgotten how that felt like for a change :(

You know that period when you're falling asleep where you're half asleep but half lucid of the fact that you're falling asleep? And the things in your mind start becoming more real? Well, during that period this morning, I heard the most blood-curdling scream from a woman in my head.

It was genuinely terrifying.

Well yeah, I've seen shadow people in a number of occasions in circumstances similar to yours, but both times I've been lucky to "escape" the situation quickly. Haven't heard any creepy voices though, unless all the knocking and scraping sounds from the roof count, but from experience I know they're just Christmas elves squirrels who seem to have a fun time.
 
I once seen a shadow-person of my Nana when I was half asleep. I started calling her, and when she just stood there that's when I started to panic.
I shone my phone on 'her' and there was nothing there.

I tend to have very "powerful" Lucid dreams on a regular basis; but they never even slightly scare me. That^, however, truly did...

Even If I'm not lucid dreaming I still have full control over my situation. If I don't want to be somewhere, or of I'm in danger or falling, I'll simply 'teleport' elsewhere.
My dreams are starting to get more and more destructive. (lightning annihilating my back garden, followed by pillars of energy).
I know it all sounds pretty strange to you, but it's become common to me now.

I dreamt that I was lucid dreaming in a dream. Work that one out. All I remember was it felt like I was dreaming for almost a day. Unfortunately I forgot pretty much everything else that happened.

"There may the perception of whispering, screaming and laughing."

Sleep paralysis is a common side-effect of lucid dreaming, unfortunately.
