Title: WHAT ARE SIGNS YOU USE TO DETERMINE THAT YOU'RE DREAMING?
Post by: ncba93ivyase on November 24, 2007, 07:36:34 PM
Normally in my dreams, I'm somewhere in a store of some sorts or school. Since both of these locations usually require a bit of reading, I've noticed text or writing of any sorts is always blurred. I try hard to read it, but the harder I try, the blurrier my entire world becomes. I've never actually had a lucid dream though because I always assume this blurry writing means I'm about to pass out, when I'm really already asleep.

If it's unbelievable, it's a dream. I had a dream the cutest girl ever put her arm around me, walked around the school with me, and asked me out, and I finally had a girlfriend, but then I thought "There's no fucking way this happened. This is all a dream. ;-;"
Then I woke up. ;-;

I usually can tell because either something too good to be true  is happening to me, or something very awful is happening to me.

My dreams always consist of me trying to run away from something, but I run ungodly slow.   psyduck;

i know, right
i had a dream that this one girl that i really like (who has this faggot asian boyfriend) was sitting on the bench with me and we were making out, this was the exact scene that i saw them in the day before, and then i was thinking, "this can't be possible". just then, the asian faggot walks out from where i walked out.. and then some weird ass switch happens, and there i am, watching them make out on that bench. i woke up and i felt like crying :'(

I can never tell that I'm dreaming while I'm dreaming.  Only once.  It's weird, because if other people can point out small things that don't fit, it would be easy for them to tell that they're dreaming with my dreams.  I rarely have any dreams in places I know of, it's always some weird place I've never been before.  When it is a place I know, it's more screwed up than just a few minor details.  

I'm a weird person.  psyduck;

Also, another thing I've noticed in my dreams is that women always seem to have breasts made of jelly or water filled plastic bags. I really have no idea why it's like that, and I don't realize it until later that day when I think back to my dreams. psyduck;

I usually wake up from dreams right when somebody is trying to tell me something important...

I don't know how to tell I'm dreaming, but a lot of mine involve people I've recently interacted with, or places I've recently been to. That's not anything unnatural, though, it's just my sub conscience at work.

One time, I read about lucid dreams. Then I had a dream where I went out for a jog and when I came back to my house, it was burned down. I was crying because there was no sign of my family. Then I remember saying, "Oh wait, this is a dream." Once I knew it was a dream, I was able to control it, so I flew away. I barely went like 30 feet off the ground before I woke up. :(

I have, many times. Usually, it involves being shot straight in the face at point blank range. Like, when I was running through the forest because I was in a race, some terrorist jumped in front of me, bullet time happened, and before I knew it, I could see my own brains against a tree. Third person FTW.

in every single one of my dreams, hardcore metal is playing in the backrgound. But I usually don't realize it until I wake up and I'm like "where'd the moosic go? It's too quiet now. D:", so I guess it doesn't count.

Guess it's cause I'm such a badass

It would explain why I'm such a heavy sleeper, though.

I'm never aware that I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming until I wake up and remember it a few moments after. I've handled every situation in my dreams as would if it were real. And all my dreams are never in one area, it usually starts in one area and ends up being a totally different area.. and never are they places I can recognize.

Everytime I go farther than talking with a girl, I wake up.

There was this one time recently where I knew I was dreaming while still in the dream, so I guess it was lucid... Of course I was just shooting trees with some laser gun while getting attacked by Tie Fighters, and not sexing up a girl.

I.. Had a lucid dream. It was very short, but ****ing amazing. I was flying around, and then I saw a billboard. It told me I was in a dream. I expected to wake up, but I didn't. I changed the billboard image to a McDonald's billboard. I have no idea why, I hate mcdonalds but I wanted to see it happen.. I realized it was lucid by then, and flew into the billboard. I emerged in some restaurant (I'm guessing since it was a McDonald's billboard, it was mcdonalds.) Well, I looked at the menu and didn't see crepes. I for some strange reason had an urge to have crepes, so I just stared at the menu and it appeared. I then ordered the crepes. Right as I was opening my mouth, you guessed it. I woke up.
gonk;

But, that was about the most fucking amazing thing ever.
