Types of dreams & Dreaming in General



I dont know if anyone here can relate but i have two types of dreams
One type where i'm not controlling anything and i cant "choose" what i am doing. Its not like i realize this and i try to do what i want, it just turns out that i am not doing anything i "choose" too.

Then there is another type where i can walk around, and do what ever i want. I'm not saying i can just say "pizza" and theres a pizza, or "fly" and i grow wings, its just that i have more of a choice then type #1. Can anyone relate, and if so, do you know why this happens?

Yeah i know, this is weird, i am weird and i am tired

I don't think I can relate, but I have three types of dreams.

1- Whatever I was scared of, my dream sometimes contained it. Zombies, possessed dolls...

2- Nothing. Everything is just black.

3- I somehow dream about the future. Once, I dreamed about myself getting in trouble, and I DID get in trouble. In the exact same place and location.
i dont know what dreams really mean, i just feel like they mean something in your life is missing, i too have some rather odd dreams, they sometimes worry me, but i have either the same or similar dreams all the time.

1. I am at the beach, its a nice day and i go in the water, all the sudden the waves get bigger and stronger, i lose my ability to swim, then the waves pick me up really high and drop me off at the very top, (im deathly afraid of heights) I fall and i wake up from a seziure

2. I see a lot of blood and or dismembered people or animals, those ones scare me. once i was in a concentration camp-like place and i see people in there with no arms or legs with blood everywhere, crawling around screaming and crying. in another one i came home from work and saw my cat,dead in a plastic trash bag with a huge gash in her with blood everywhere in the house.

Im not exactly sure what they mean, they scare me sometimes so much that im scared to sleep.
I think a post layout goes here somewhere...
I honestly can't remember the last time when I had a full fledged dream, but the ones I do remember are usually very nice. Although when I was younger I did have a saga of nightmares that I absolutely hated. Not reoccuring nightmares as in the same one over and over again but they took place in the same setting most of the time. In this creepy old apartment almost 50 floors high. You don't wanna know what was in there, actually now that I look back at it, I laugh at how scared I was of something so ridiculous. I guess as a little kid, I did'nt have enough logic in me to figure out that nothing could really hurt you physically in a dream.
Those dreams you can control are called lucid dreams.

Thing is, usually in a dream, you don't know that you dream, but once you know it, you can fully control the dream. (Whatever you think happens in the dream.)

There's not many people who get lucid dreams frequently, it's also hard to induce one.
i sometimes have dreams about the future.and sometimes,i have a returning nightmare.

1.once i dreamed that i was very mad and hatefull,and the other day,it was so.

2.it's my fourth birthday,and i wake up.i see a snake and run to the living room quickly.i then hug my mom thight becuase i'm scared.i then need to go to school.there is an plant exihibition,and we may watch.the parents can come,too.my mom comes,as my dad is working.around twelve,a disaster happens.a flesh eating plant go's crazy,and my mom and i escape.i then return to home,frightened.i hug my mom so much,that i fall asleep in her hands.but the school was unsafe ever since then.

dude,that nightmare is returning every 5 months!

Anyways, I don't usually dream, but when I do, it is usually a happy one. Even so, they usually make no sense, like one time when I dreamed that my whole grade went on a field trip to some really tall tree/building with a never ending water-slide thing. And then another when a giant bee/beetle was chasing me and my cousins in my backyard. That last one was actually a nightmare, because after that I got scared of beetles and such.
Lucid dreams versus non-lucid dreams.

I sometimes have dreams where I can leap very high into the air and almost float down. Usually dashing away from danger, I have to believe I can leap on top of large buildings. Sometimes I slip.

Other, horrible dreams include situations where I know something malevolent is coming to kill me.

Some pale-skinned, spider-like demon woman wearing a lavish red queens' gown, brandishing long, rusty swords with the 8-12 arms she's hiding under her dress. She's always out to kill me and asking people if they've seen me while hiding behind a cheerful-looking porcelain mask, talking in a sickeningly happy tone of voice. The only people in the house are my parents and I cannot move. Although I know it's a bad dream, I am frozen in place and cannot utter a sound even though I try with all my might to yell. The spider woman has to be in the same room for me to close my eyes shut and wake up. *shudders*


Ahh, ok thanks for the whole "lucid" thing. ( runs to wikipedia for moar )

What you are talking about is a premonition, as I believe they are called. I have them a lot as well. The only proper dreams I have make me think Satan is real and that my ancestors have done some terrible crime which makes him punish me through my dreams.
I get Lucid dreams once in a while, but most of my dreams I forget about. Something that does happen is in a dream I sometimes "jump" off a cliff and then I wake up. It's weird...

I've had a lot of dreams in which I get killed. I believe I've seen myself die in pretty much every possible way. Shot, stabbed, choked, burned alive, thrown through a window, beaten to death etc. I remember dreaming I was killed by German Suplex on a concrete floor, and in that dream I heard the sound of my neck breaking, that was horrible.
I really don't have dreams so frequently, though occasionaly some dreams pop up into my mind while I sleep - in most of them, I'm either driving some sort of vehicle (a car/bus/spaceship/airplane/etc) or I'm dreaming about myself being some sort of guy who explores the world frequently and stuff. Though, my dreams don't make any sense whatsoever, and the funny thing is that I really cannot remember of whatever I was dreaming as soon as I wake up. I also used to have dreams which were related to this site (mostly related to Arbe attacking the site again and this sort of stuff), though I don't dream about SMWC as often as I used to, as I'm not so addicted to this place nowadays. :P

Also, Sol, you should REALLY dream about better things - it should be totally horrible dreaming about being killed all the time. D:
I used to have dreams all the time, but now, I dunno, I just don't dream that much anymore. And, yeah I sort of know what you're talking about... I guess.

So I lost my Wario Master Of Disguise game, right? I had played it for hours on end. I looked for days and couldn't find it. Then, I had a dream of where it was. The next morning, I woke up, checked the spot, and it was NOT THERE!

...when you have a dream about finding a lost item, it kinda has to be there. It's like your subconscious trying to tell you where you put it. <_<

I know I have other kind of dreams but I just can't remember them as clearly as those.
I don't dream per say, but I do get de ja vu alot.

Sometimes my dreams repeat themselves. But in different forms. Its so complicated sometimes... ._.
My dreams? Well:

1. Sometimes I find myself in some weird-amusement park with places I have been, like I was at a carival held by the school. Inside, a random show goes on. Kinda creepy. Also, I appear in Somewhat-Disney World. All sand, kinda like Aladin. I run with some characters away to somewhere unknown.

2. Falling:
I sometimes find myseld on a ledge, falling. When I hit the ground, I wake up, STILL ON MY BED.

3. Games
On New Years, I played WAY too much mario games. When I go to bed, my dream is at the Mushroom Kingdom-Hyrule place. I am toad and there is a war to save the princess. The war ends and out comes the princess. Marriage. AKWARD!! Before I kiss her, I wake up. Bummer.

4.Places

There is this empty lot not far from where I live. I see myself walking through that area.

5. Unknown

Sometimes I have dreams I cannott describe.

6. TV

When I forget to turn off my TV, I dream what I hear. Like if Chowder was on, I have dreams about Chowder.


Your layout has been removed.
All of my dreams are either lucid, or blackscreen with light spots.

I'm not going to say what I dream about, but the word "pervert" should give you a good idea.

This is a thing that's happening, now. Achievements in old video games.
Thank you for the layout, Erik557.
Man, I wish this would've worked. Oh well.
