Fuck i was drunk last night.
Had cool dreams. I was at work and flying around, and like floating down the halls. I don't have to use my limbs like propellors anymore and look like a retarded flyer. Flew home and had to avoid powerlines, floated into my living room and seduced the babysitter (don't know why there was a babysitter).
Dreams don't come much better than that, i am the ultimate flyer, and i banged a babysitter, seems all my old bday wishes are coming true.

Sounds kind of like a lucid dream, Shane. Getting to do all the stuff you always wanted to. I need to work on lucid dreaming again. Quit for a while. Last night, my coworker/supervisor told me if I tok my roommate adn his cousin to the bar where he worked he'd give us free drinks. Well, we get there and he's nowhere to be found, the bartender doesn't seem to know his name, and there's this absolutely WRETCHED guy on guitar doing a set that cost us a $3 cover charge at the door. This guy was... words can't describe. Tone-deaf, loud, and extremely reminiscent of bad karaoke. I'm gonna pounce my supervisor today at work. Either the guy is a pathological liar or there's another Kazmos on 14th street. So anyway! Finally got to bed around 3:30, and I dreamt that we did actually meet up with him, drink on his tab, and went home and had this huge party.... And at some point a piglet that was caught in a spiderweb (  ) followed me inside when I freed it, but when it got inside it turned out to be a dalmation. At this point I knew I was dreaming and proceeded to get into this huge philosophical discussion with my roommate (in my dream) and it was so amazing... One of the best dreams I've had in a while. Erm. The end. I hate posting here lately. Feel indescribably inferior and annoying. Bah, issues. They follow me everywhere. So I won't be posting much, but I'll still be reading because I just love the masochism of it all...  |

I stopped dreaming lucid dreams round about the time I went through a close call with a nervous breakdown in 1999, I never actually got to the whole bells and whistles breakdown, but came dangerously close...
It was around about that same time I pretty much set about purging myself of fears, and decided to be far, far more open about my life, and hence the lucid dreams weren't coming out in my sleep anymore.
I put it down to the fact I started spending so much of my waking life aware of my conscious thoughts and desires, there was nothing in my mind left to seap out at night...
Well that's my theory... I only seem to have short little pleasant dreams nowadays, hardly any nightmares!
It''s either that or I just sleep lightly or I have a shitty memory! lol!

That seems like a good theory, scottsy. I love to live in dreams though. I need that escape and you don't I guess. Dreams have helped me realise that reality has little to set it apart from a dream. So I don't take things straight to my heart anymore, which is what was killing me. Dreams are important, life is important, but neither of them should be taken too seriously. It's all about your perception...

Dreams have helped me realise that reality has little to set it apart from a dream.
Hmmm. There's an interesting element of truth to that, but trudging around through life, in a dreamlike state certainly has an element of serious danger to IT too.
Not to say that 'consciousness' in general and a person's overall perception isn't largely processed by the 'master switch', your brain, anyway whether sleeping in bed or while awake, while walking through your life. There's the place where I CAN see the element of truth to that statement. Reality is only as 'real' as what's processing it allows.
And as something which when ruled by the limits of your perception, if you(as some certainly do) perceive consciousness really dully, either through choice or through limitations perhaps presented to you at birth....that this dulled 'unrealness' that a person might feel their life represents, I suppose could be seen as something very close to a dream. But this is because a limitation to perception has been placed in its way. A governor on a kid's go-kart that doesn't let it go above 10 MPH.
But even then, involve yourself in others' lives, whether through choice or through happenstance...say through accidents of birth. Parents, brothers, sisters....THEIR lives, as 'unreal' and peripheral to you as you might somehow wish them to be, ARE affected by you. You're largely responsible for how they perceive you...the 'clues' you give might not always get the same uniform reaction, but there IS a reaction to you. Good. Bad. Indifferent.
Within a dream, THAT just doesn't happen
My reality so often goes so haywire that I wish that it was a dream, but the moment still always comes that I'll have to deal with it.
Tho there ARE moments where I can 'fool myself' for just a little while when things get too stressful, allowing a moment to 'duck out' just so I can handle what's going on after resting just enough to go on...but that generally only works if there's a support system that allows it...and forgives it.
Otherwise an even BIGGER mess results.....
~
Nope, no point to this self-conscious ramble at all....well, actually that your personal 'reality' is locked within yourself, but that at those moments you're not sleeping, what goes on around you through your intended and unintended actions on others determines a very distinct separation from a person's 'dream state'. People see and react to YOU...their worlds and lives are affected. And I think that only a few will agree that what's happening then, in 'real' time, is simply as inconsequentially 'erased' as when they wake up from their dreams.

Doc - Have you ever seen Waking Life? When the kid says after he realizes he's dreaming in his dream, he wants to ask the other people in his dream if they're dreaming too. Just something to think about.
I rolled Friday night. Spare me the admonishment. I dearly paid for it yesterday when I woke with an empty, frazzled, exhausted head and felt as though I was a doll all day. Calm, lifeless. I descended back into the black hole I was crawling out of. But then I had a dream last night that kinda nudged me back up. I had all these amazing friends, and it was my birthday, and they were all doing such wonderful things for me. I felt loved. I think my head was trying to beg me not to go back down there...

Dreams are my speciality.
They are the bounty of the dead,
watered with starlight.
Trapped in your head,
yet boundless.
Like crabgrass growing from your eyesockets,
dreams are an untended garden.
Tread carefully when lost
in the labyrinthe of your dreams.

How come all of a sudden my mom is in every dream I have, and she's always arguing with me or holding me back in the dream? In real life she's been nothing but sweet and generous. |

Ok, so this was a strange dream for me...
I dreamed that I parked illegally, and a cop came to give me a ticket. I was however, fine, because my car was actually a transformer, and it transformed and scared off the police officer...
I can't for the life of me figure out why I had a dream like that, except for a strange reversion to my childhood... :-)

TRANSFORMERS!! Sounds like maybe your ego's had a bit of a boost lately?  |

That Transformer Dream kicks ass, Scottsy! Now that's the kinda dream I wanna have all the time.
Samples -- mayhaps your Mom in your dreams is merely your conscience scolding you . . . (for things like rolling and such).
