Dreams

[Babyjustrun]

Oh.

I thought I read somewhere that they lasted 2-3 sec. I guess I should check my facts first.

I can't be sure of these facts either.
But in the tiny little paragraph for all the sites listed on Google it said 5-45.

That might be a good idea.

The human brain is a real piece of work, but to dream you must be in REM, and to change dreams that many times, to have a new dream every 2-3 seconds would make you crazy. you have to have a lengthy dream that your brain can play with. it would work itself crazy having that many dreams in one night. The average teenager needs 8-10 hours of sleep a night. That would be 3000 dreams a night, if I'm doing the math correctly.

The reason the average person doesn't remember their dreams is because the average person doesn't have fantastic control over their subconscious, and their subconscious doesn't like to mix with their conscious. A person lives in their conscious, but when you sleep, your conscious sleeps too. When you wake up, your conscious takes over and your subconscious goes back to a voyeuristic mode. During the day your subconscious takes in information and at night it plays with it. It files it away into your RAM (random access memory bank) to be used at a later date.

You could have a full length dream in 3 seconds, but it wouldn't be intricate, it wouldn't be fun, it wouldn't be anything worth dreaming. And your mind doesn't like that. Dreams are your minds way of relaxing and playing. It doesn't want to rush through them. A full dream lasts about ten minutes with a minute to two minute lag in between.

You dream all night, every night. Even if you don't remember them, you dream. when you stop dreaming you go insane or you die. You need to dream, and everyone does, even if they think they don't.

thats some cool info

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

It is.

My dad never remembers his dreams. At all. Only the one where he dreamt of my dog jumping off of a building.

The next morning, she tore a ligament in her leg, and needed surgery.

Scary, huh?

THIS THREAD WILL NOT DIE!



i had a CRAZY dream last night


First, it was around where I live, but not real. It was like a huge building made out of pebbles that were like super-glued together. There were like steamrollers going around the building, and I had to take this kid back to his mom on the other side, but the steamrollers kept coming cause they couldn't see us. So this guy runs up and yells, "I'll stop them!" And he throws some sort of liquid explosive on the cliff behing the building. So we all yell, "NOOOO" and run inside and the rocks fom the hillside like collapse on the steamrollers. Then, some of the glue got into the building cause it's made out of pebbles, and apparently someone messed up the gluing. So we all run to the front of the building, and the back half explodes. And there's nothing we can do, so I walk home with two of my friends, cause it's like a nice spring day.


lucid? you decide


I love my subconscious.

[Starstruckdancer]

ok well thhis was the last weird dream I had. It was 2 days ago, the dream I had last night was just me shopping.
Ok so the whole band and chior were are disney. So me and my friends were in line for Pirates of the Caribean. But it wasnt normal Pirates. We got on and in our boat. It was me, my friend Melissa and Mickey, then these two boys Will and Lee. So we went but it was a roller coster and when we got off we went to big thunder railroad. Of course it wasn't noraml and was a huge steal rollercoster. And instead of a train it was a chair lift. (Like the skiing one). So me Will and Lee went into this chairlift. And we didn't wear seat belts. So were going and will and Lee start singing. We somehow make it out alive and I go on again with Melissa. This time I wear my seat belt. So we keep walking and somehow we meet up with my other frineds Paige and Lauren. SO we go into a haunted house maze. (Not Haunted Manison). And were walking through it and its creepy. And then their was one section where we get into a cart and go around. SO somehow we all seperate and meet up with my sister inside the Haunted house. No she wasn't there before. SHe didn't even come to disney with the band. So we get to the last room of the maze. And I see my old History teacher sitting at a desk. In a cape. ANd he tells usd that we have to find the way out or find the special surpirse. So me Paige and Lauren and Amy are looking for the way out. we look and look and look for a way out but couldn't find it. SO Mr. Leonard (History Teacher) gives us the clue about the prize. He said "You'll look ten years younger". So all of a sudden a cabinet appears. So All of a sudden my friend Kelly appears. And looks through the cabinet. And she finds the pirze. Its a 10 day vacation to disney world. So now that we found the prize. We ask him what is the way out. And he goes over to a huge red button and tell Paige to stand on the x. Paige does and he presses the button. And a trap door opens. And Paige goes down. Mr. Leonard tells us to jump down the trap droor. And so i jump down. I look behind me and my friend Rachel is behind me. Um Rachel wasn't there before. So we land in this under ground lake. And when we return back to our hotel room. My friend Kelly calls my mom. So kelly is now like my sister and my mom tells her to give the prize to lauren because we would be there during my birthday. But then I said I wouldn't mind being there during my birthday. And my mom said she couldn'tstand being there on my birthday because my grandma died on my birthday, And i said I know mom but maybe it would take our minds off of things. <My mom said that the real reason my grandma died is because Mickey Mouse killed her. SO me and my friends went to beat up Mickey and then I woke up.

I remember another dream where my family was in a hotel and all of my cats were with us. Then I said "Where's Jasmine, and Bambi?" My dad screams. My mom said "I hear Jasmine!" Jasmine walks up and hisses at us. I said "Jasmine isn't usually like this. Bambi!" Bambi walks up and hisses also. After we found the real Jasmine and Bambi, and we thrown the fake Jasmine and Bambi outside.

A few nights ago I had a dream that I was with my friend Thera (I was sleeping over at her house at the time) and we were in this weird school with tons of Disney Channel stars. I started flirting with Jason Earles (Jackson on Hannah Montanna) and then Corbin Bleu asked me out.

Then a few years ago I had this dream that Constantine from American Idol was my music teacher in school and we had to go through all these creppy tunnle things under the school and my BFF Abby had this ball and I kept going "Abby, give me the ball" and she wouldn't give it to me. Then we got to the end of the tunnel and there was like this window and I could see Constantine wearing a black and white striped shirt with a red beret and scarf...

If by lucid dreams you mean when one has partial control over the dream, then yes, I have those often. I have very vivid dreams, and at any one point during the night - while dreaming, I can remember all the previous dreams as well. But I only remember a small portion of 'em come morning, and I totally forget them if I am awakened suddenly or am in a hurry to go somewhere after I get up.
Unfortunately, I get awakened suddenly a lot, because of my little brothers getting up earlier than I, and being decidedly noisy all morning. eh.

Just a few days ago, I had a really complex dream that I managed to remember as I awoke, and I was able to actually write it down. 1022 words worth, and yet there was more to go. =)

Probably one of the weirdest dream in my recent memory... is where there were these royal, uber-beings running away from.. some sort of assassins. The uber-beings, in order to hide from their attackers, turned into tomatos (still on the plant). I and (random person) were desperately searching through a big patch of tomato plants, trying to find which ones were intelligent.

I hardly ever remember my dreams after I have woken up, but I do remember nightmares or good dreams. I remember more of my dreams that I had when I was a child, but now that I'm older I can hardly ever recall what I was dreaming the night before.

When I was little I had an allergy to white rice that made me have terrible nightmares; I used to wake up screaming, or sobbing so hard that my pillow was soaked. It sounds weird but my pediatrician assured my parents that it was white rice.

Common dreams that I have had include versions of Charles Dicken's: A Christmas Carol, ones where I'm driving a monster truck, or ones where I am falling and then I hit ground and wake up.

Okay I guess I'll tell you some of the dreams that I remember vividly now....

1: Once I had this dream that a giant orange squid with a jelly fish on its head was attacking my house, so I grabbed my little blue wagon and put my dog and cat in there. My older sister and I wheeled the wagon to our friend Kim's house, but her house wasn't where it was supposed to be and for some reason every time we got to the door we kept appearing back at our house. Then it started raining, except the rain was white instead of clear, and it whited out everything and I woke up.

2: Another time I had a dream that my dad was taking my brother, sisters, and me for a climb up the Grand Canyon (which is weird because I've never even been to the Grand Canyon). When we got to the top of the canyon my brother stepped forward to look over the edge, and my dad put his arm in front of him and said: ''Don't. You will fall.'' Then my dad pushed us all over the edge and I was falling I saw my dad leap over the edge, laughing hysterically. That dream was a scary one.

3: Another time, I had a dream I was driving in a truck with a really hot boy and a bunch of his friends. The music was blaring really loudly, and everyone was laughing, shouting and drinking beer and vodka. I was alone in the back of the truck with the hot guy and we were so drunk that he touched my leg we started to make out. His friends didn't even notice because they were so wasted, but then all of a sudden I woke up (in the dream) in the back of the truck under a blanket with the hot guy, who was snoring away. But my crush was all of a sudden there, in the back of the truck and he got really mad because he had apparently liked me and he ran off to get high. Don't even ask me how I dreamed up this piece of work, it is definitely NOT from experience; I wouldn't do something stupid like that.

4: Okay, this dream I had the night after watching the movie: Secret Window. I was driving to my cabin on the lake (which is also weird, because I don't have a cabin near a lake, and I'm not old enough to drive yet) and when I got there, there was purple dinosaurs that came from the lake and started slapping the house with their flippers and biting the chimney with their sharp teeth. I went inside the house and turned into Sheik, then I started punching the purple dinos through a tiny window in the attic. Eventually the chimney gave way from their biting, and when they dipped their heads inside the giant hole it left in the roof, I kicked them so hard that they flew all the way to the Sahara Desert. I woke up with a muscle spasm in my calf at 3 in the morning after that dream.

5: One dream that I had, I dreamed I was in Wal-Mart and the floor looked like a brain and I was apparently in my mom's brain. Some mad scientist was chasing me and my mom (my mom is inside her own brain?) and my mom's voice kept echoing for me to run away. I woke up (or so I thought) and I was looking at my mom, and I could see the mad scientist in her eyes, running around. And then I really woke up, lol.

Dreams are the strangest things. Wow, I wrote alot, I doubt anybody is even going to read my entire post! Oh well, at least it can be a written record of my strange dreams.

What was the last odd dream you had?

A few weeks ago, I had a bizare dream where I was in health class and for some reason we were watching a bizare Bob Marley documentary. And in the documentary, it talked about Bob Marley being a techno musician and believing in aliens. At one of his concerts, he killed all his audience members because he thought they were aliens. Then he was put on a death sentance.

Do you remember your dreams?
I remember some of them. I remember a lot of them from last year. I even had this kid in my class last year be my "theripist" and tell me what my dreams meant. I miss him <3

Do you have lucid dreams?
I don't think so?

 

[AngienLuLu]

What was the last odd dream you had? I was being chased by a giant chocolate bar through an infinite of whiteness.

Do you remember your dreams? All of them. Sometimes it becomes rather disturbing.

Do you have lucid dreams? ummm... seven?

 

[SplshMtnLvr28]

Today I remembered some of my past dreams, lmao...

My family and I were driving to Disneyland, but on the way there it didn't look anything like Anaheim. Then we got to Disneyland, but it wasn't there. It was just dirt. This guy appeared and told us that they had tore everything down so they could rebuild it.

Another one I remembered was I was in Paris all by myself. I was staying in this hotel, and to get out you had to go out through a parking garage. So I went down out through the garage and said bye to the guy in the pay booth, then started walking on the sidewalk. It kind of looked like that scene in Ferris Buehler where they do the valet parking. Anyways. after that, I was at Disneyland Paris. It was sunny, and there was almost no one there. I went on Dumbo, but it was like a super high version of Dumbo. The dream ended with me looking over the park with the sun in my face.... ah....

I just remembered another one. XD My and my friends were in Paris, staying in a hotel. We had opened all the windows in the room, and we kept saying how glad we were to be back in Paris. Then my one friend said she wanted to go to Disney World, but we missed the boat to the Magic Kingdom. (That's one long boat ride) So, she rented one of the MouseBoats, but she fell out. She started drowning so me and my other friend jumped in to save her, and we swam her to the docks at Wilderness Lodge. Then my band director showed up, and the dream was over. It was weird. XD

This morning I had the strangest dream ever. I was sitting in my room and the phone rang, I picked it up and Simon Cowell was on the phone. I had just said "hi" when the line went dead. I kept saying "Hello" I woke up a few minutes later and I was still saying hello.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

To that.
