sometimes i'll take a benadryl to sleep. circa last night at five am, i got up and took one because i needed sleep because i needed to drive. i nodded right off, and it's a very strange ride involving my brain going, "we've dreamed about this many times before, it's important." then i woke up and none of it made any sense. i was hoping someone could explain things to me -- preferrably with words

I get that a lot. Especially during that moment between being awake and dreaming.
I often work out things that I'm telling myself are very important, and clever. But within minutes it starts to make no sense.
Once I was in a fast food place abs there were seven figures who I had worked out were the seven truths. To understand them you had to think often backwards in terms of process. It got really interesting, i was working out stuff that I felt was really important, but once I was awake I couldn't even write the dream down.

I had a really good dream the other night about being on an island where the people lived alongside dinosaurs, although the dinosaurs looked kind of ornate, like peacocks, and they's move really slow then suddenly really fast. It was ace!

i used to chat with a very clever medicated schizophrenic bloke in a bar years ago, he went to cambridge in the 60s n stuff (acid casualty), and new about 100 times more about psychology (he liked a bit of Jung) than the people who he had to see on a weekly basis. Always completely lucid, courteous gentlemen, except when he would sort-of talk and it was like it was coming from about a foot above his head..
. Anyway, he used to say some things about dreams that to this day make me think there is something very very important there, and they're aren't just one part of your brain trying to make sense of the general noise going on in other bits.
I had one about Lee scratch perry last night Do you keep a dream diary?

i did it for ages but without the intention of helping going lucid, maybe that's why it didn't work for that.. To write down stuff I read whilst dreaming too, tiny bits of big info bursts.

I had quite a few lucid dreaming there are inducing techniques to achieve them, like looking at your hand during day time and saying to yourself thats reality. If you do it enough then probably inside the dream you will look at your hand and it will be messed up, like last night I had one big finger an three little ones. So then you know you are dreaming and can take control of it. I remember last night I asked people what is the purpose of life, but I only had laughs in return. :(

I'm still slightly worried about a dream I had years ago. I was in the attic and gave birth to a calf through my ass. Then the calf was lying there on the wooden floor, all weird and slimy as those new-borns tend to look.

Does music feature a lot in everyone's dreams here?
I have a lot of dreams which just consist - more of less - of music. It's either songs as they actually are; songs with some differences (in a dream I heard Frank Zappa's Broken Hearts Are For Assholes in a version without electric guitars) or completely new, to me unknown music. Usually I'm aware that I'm dreaming and then surprised about how my brain can create this surprisingly good sounding music. The music sounds much better than what I can come up while I'm awake. Probably it just sounds so good because I'm dreaming and caught up in illusions.... How is it for all of you?

yes not currently but yes some of the bests tunes ive heard come to me in my dreams, but i have no way for anyone else to hear them, well not the musical knowledge to reproduce them which is really frustrating, i wonder how much that is good creatively is lost to people because of bone idleness or other stuff

I have had a couple of homosexual dreams, and I've always felt like "this isn't right". I mean, I love jazzing all over a bird's chest, but a bro's? That would be like,.... not sex but jazzing over some bloke's chest. So I know I am not gay.
Even slightly.

I don't want a blowie off of a bloke, no matter how much he dresses up as a girl, what's so fucking hard to understand? Women aren't men. Chicks with Dicks = Men with Tits. You can smell a woman. A man smells like ass. Man's ass.

the version i heard of this involved looking at your watch. in reality, the watch has the time, but in a dream, the time might be 99:99 or something... and, since that doesn't make sense, why, yes, you must be dreaming. this seems a little more specific than looking at your hand, but i don't wear a watch.
i think just about anything like this would work, so long as you spend enough time doing it in reality that it begins to appear in your dreams.
my dream recall is terrible. i probably should keep a diary
"I remember last night I asked people what is the purpose of life, but I only had laughs in return. :( "

so here we go ~~
i get back to an apartment i'm splitting with my friend lewis, which vaguely reminds me of a house i used to rent. there's a black guy in the bathroom with a shotgun that lewis had warned me about earlier -- black guy believes the end of the world is coming (or something apocalyptic) and doesn't really want anything except to get out of there. i guess i've startled him as he broke in. he surprises me with the gun in the bathroom, says something i don't remember, and leave.
then i'm talking with lewis (who is paranoid schizophrenic!) and waffling whether or not i should tell him about black shotgun guy. i do, and he kind of winces and says, "Don't Tell Me That!"
the reason is obvious to me, even in the dream: lewis had a dream about guys breaking into his house the other day, and we were arguing about what it meant. whether it had anything to do with the voices he heard. clearly, this is one of those guys, and perhaps i shouldn't tell him so as not to stoke his paranoia. my dream then has a brief aside about how you can still hear when you're asleep and dreams are partly so you can hear people while you're sleeping.
then some wandering in a city; i'm trying to get back to my car. but it's raining. things are flooded and i start swimming. i dive into a pool that's walled off at the end by a glass jewelry display in a mall. i can see into the mall, through this, underwater... but, hmm. i debate climbing on it, but i can't walk on glass, right? it'll break. my mom and my sister are there handwringing, telling me to just wait, but i'm impatient.

i clamber out of that scenerio and then i'm lost in the back service corridors of some rich person country club. all the walls are painted sky-blue. i'm not supposed to be there and i'm a bit nervous about it. i still want to get back to my car. i get to a door and tailgate someone through, but, no, this is wrong. i go back out. i flip the lock on the door and move along. some people walk by and start talking about the lock -- it's a door to a pool, and it wasn't a lock, it was like a porty-potty status toggle that switched it from "boys" to "girls" and why is it like that because the men are swimming now?
then i'm standing in the (sky-blue) hallway, arguing with myself about what to do next. do i go back? do i try that last door again? i'm standing still, and i get a notion: "keep walking."
i do. i find a fire door that's alarmed (the doors that have their own little buzzer) and stress on that for a moment before barrelling through. i expect a tinny buzzer alarm, but, no, it's fine. hooray! i am outside!
the cast of law and order: SVU are having breakfast at some outdoor restaurant patio. Ice-T breaks out a blunt, but he says he's still practicing (at rolling blunts) so it's "original recipe." then the blunt becomes a bowl of cereal and he's spoon-feeding me morsels from out of a bowl of tobacco-kinda looking stuff.
at this point, my alarm goes off. my usual morning routine is to put on coffee, cut up a banana into a bowl of cheerios, then go out back to smoke a zigguraut. Ice Tea is close to Coff-Ee and blunt, something that looks like tobacoo, being spoon-fed morsels from a bowl of cereal... yes, i think either my brain knew that alarm was coming. maybe that's what the door was about too

notes of note:
- dreaming about a dream my friend told me he had and dreaming some conclusions
- dreaming about the functional role of dreams (still hear sounds when you sleep)
- a gender lock switch, probably thanks to SignedUpToLOL being NOT. GAY.
- notions occuring in a dream because i do them quite often while awake (and, thus, potentially, my personal window to lucid dreaming)
- a door alarm not going off because my alarm was due to go off in a few minutes
- my morning routine transmuted into a weird thing with rapper Ice-T when it was just about time to get up and start my morning routine
after i smoked my zig i went back in and made a bullet-point list of all this, i should note. i knew if i sat down to try and write it up directly, i'd get so sucked into writing it that i'd forget half of it before i'd written a third of it. i know this from trying to write up complicated stuff on xltronic before and forgetting half of it before i've written a third of it

we're not splitting an apartment, but we are planning to! so, kinda realty reality. mostly, though, that seemed a dream about his dream. so, no, it's not all about me. i was posting here right before i went to sleep, and a good chunk of it syncs up with what you guys were saying in this thread.
