redpill me on everything you know about dreams, lucid or otherwise
>>42135949In dreams you aren't actually yourself but a weird alternate version that would "agree with" what you would do IRL. Hard to explain but if you think about your dreams it will make more sense.Basically I imagine in dreams you are like the non-dominant version of your brain. Subconscious but with a full personality and still technically you to some extent
>>42135949I dream about going to the toilet but when I wake up I’ve pissed my bed.
>>42136048Ah yes, "pee dreams." Beware of "poop fantasies."
This week I dreamed I got nuked. Then I had two dreams about the World Trade Center.
dreams are the random firing of synapses containing memories that your subconscious weaves into a story in a connect-the-dots kind of way
>>42135988ah, so thats why i consented to having sex with my dad in a dream, even though i would never do so irl.
>>42135949Why? Is that a threat? Well it appears you brought a knife to a gunfight. I'm very adept at combat, you see... in my dreams that is. Maybe if you lay down your weapon I may share some of my dream secrets with you... It all depends on your next move, anon. Choose wisely.
>>42135949I remember dreams I had from when I was a babyIt would always be these pulsing blue circles, and I would hear the sound of a heartbeat. I think these dream memories are older than any of my actual memories but these dreams I remember very vividly.
>>42135949I said to my mate, have you ever heard of someone killing someone they know in a dream? And he said yeah. And I said don't kill another me in your dream man.........
>>42138934Last night I dreamed that I was at an open house for this awesome piece of real estate filled with wealthy people all having a really classy party inside. The house was like a castle that had been built for giant owls to live in. I can't really describe it... it was like that city of trees call lothlorien i think in the fellowship of the ring where all the elves are living in tree castles. Anyway I tried climbing to the higher levels of the really nice tree house but the harder I tried to climb up the lower I kept being dragged down... to the point where the other party goers looked down and seemed to take pity on me.Then I had another dream. It was as if I was tired of being at the bottom rungs of the previous party so I retreated to a dark room in a museum filled with egyptian artifacts. I selected on artifact: a black stone cobra head with hieroglyphs carved under it which I leaned against a wall. I was convinced that all I needed was another relic somewhere in the room in order to perform some magic incantation with it. Then I woke up.
My dream last night involved a midget who had a crazy death grip on one of my calves, it was all jokes but I really felt it
>>42139444Gordon Ramsay's dwarf porn star lookalike visited you in your dreams last night.
>>42135949I sleep well and correctly, which means i don't remember my dreams. I know one smoker, he tells me that he remembers his dreams often. And his sleep is shit.
>>42135949What you are seeing is real. Humans just don't have a well developed concept of what reality is yet though. Develop the ability to remember the full extent of activities you are involved in every time you are asleep and the situation will begin to come into view.
>>42139550You are attributing your ability to completely block the visions out of your conscious awareness to being "correctly" sleeping. Just because you have managed to completely isolate yourself away from your own memories doesn't mean you don't see your existence while you are seeingout of body during sleep. It doesn't take away from the quality of sleep to be able to remember. You can stay fully conscious the entire time your body is at rest and even watch the process of returning to your physical body to reenter it and reattach to it to fully wake up. You only feel unrested when you fail to get enough of the deepest form of sleep that just looks like darkness surrounding you before the deepest dream sequences begin. This happens every time you sleep, day or night. Technology is now able to detect the imagery within the brain.. but you can also remote view reality and confirm what you saw.. so it's not just illusion within the mind
>>42138914sorry anon it wasn't a t D: don't shoot me...
>>42135949only thing i learned is to recognize when something bad is about to happen.when i have dreams of a blizzard or thunderstorm i had health problems after having those dreams
>>42141147Ok anon, we cool now. Water under the bridge. Here, I'll share one of my dream secrets with you now - reality itself is nothing more than a dream. We're dreaming even when we are awake. So the trick is, how do we lucid dream when we're fully conscious? That's the million dollar question.
>>42139548Could be, I was chasing the bugger around the house. They beelined down the hall to get in the kitchen, I dolphin dove through the serving window to cut them off and they lept out from under the table and latched onWhat likely occured was my cat leaping off something causing noise and landing on my leg in the process
Dreams are fucking gay and fake and stupid. Whatever. I didn't even really wanna lucid dream anyway, no big deal. I don't even care.
>>42142248The *waking* world is a dream
>>42135949Philosophically, dreams are like death. If your friend went to anther room and fell asleep, you could argue he's still alive, because you know he will wake up eventually; but it is fundamentally the same as a temporary death. He's not there. He's somewhere else, or maybe he is still there. You could speculate about him and yourself when you dream. It's the same for dead people, only they come back. Those who have temporarily died described having dreams.
>>42142332How do I become lucid in the waking world then?
>>42135988usually i'm regular-me, but once i recall being a different person entirely. i was 20smth irl, but i had a dream where i was a 45yo yellow bird valkyrie lady who worked as a janitor and smoked like a chimney. even had a wildly different personality and set of interests.... at least different from what i was interested irl back then. my interests have diverged a bit.perhaps there were other dreams where i was a completely different person entirely, but i don't recall those. only the one where i was some bird anthro creature janitor.
>>42139550Dreamless sleep
>>42135949You can communicate with God, and all sorts of other spirits, angels, aliens, and visit all sorts of different realms in them. You can visit the astral record of historical places and events. There are realms full of ancient temples all collected together. You can look past the dream you are in into other dream realms, all sort of stacked together, somewhat connected by portals.You can use sorcery in dreams, telepathy, telekinesis. You can use intent to communicate with material objects and access the intelligent energy within them, and ask them to manifest themselves as different forms of psychic technology. You can visit space ship realms, planetary realms, asteroid realms, moon realms, fantasy realms. You can shift between different fictional worlds, such as middle earth, fillory, nirn, etc. You can use psychic technology to run actual computer programs in them, and create expansion packs and alternate settings for your favorite games. You can shapeshift into fantastic creatures such as dragons, or stuff like dolphins, bears, skunks, etc. You can hop your do dream sharing with living creatures and experience them as totems where they will share part of their being, perception, and experiences with you. You can commune with tree spirits like oak trees, to learn about druidry.Then there are other humans. Many of them are unsober idiots who who have various mentally histerical states of consciousness, others are highly ignorant, others can be very adept and helpful.You can contact historical figures, such as Ptah, Einstein, Tesla, Pythagoras, etc. Some have moved on, many are available.You can search out your own soul history, and plot out what path you have taken, as various life forms, and what star systems you have lived in.
>>42135949> redpill me on everything you know about dreams, lucid or otherwiseyou can remember dreams the exact same as you remember things that “actually happened” to you. what does that tell you?
>>42142479Wait so all those sex dreams happened means that im not a virgin. Ha!
>>42138725This was disproven in the 80s. Fuck off.
>>42142466I go straight from alpha to delta. This means i can fully function on 4 to 6 hours of sleep as if i had a full 8 to 10, but I dont dream at all. How do I stop this? If this is the proper, healthy way to sleep, I don't like it. Been like this since i turned 11. Im 36.
>>42142459why must turn this thread into a house of lies
