You get it or you don't......
Last night i had a strange dream.
At first i was in a kindof shootout in a dark room with lots of pillars. There was one guy under the floor behind a kindof grating.
After the gunfight i crawled under the floor to where this guy was. There was a small door, i opened it and used a flashlight to loook down, it was a slide downwards.
After talking to a guy that looked like Will Smith i slid down, after the first area there was another small door, i opened it and there was another door inside, using the torch i could see three directions, straight ahead at the bottom of this small incline there was empty fall area, ahead that could be seen a flat crawlspace, once at the end on the incline you could see another crawlspace below and the other. The final direction was a crawlspace to the left.
First thing i did was pull a lever which produced a small bridge for me to try the first crawlspace dead ahead a huge bug or something flew at me and a jumped back, after that i tried the path ahead, it was a dead end. Next i tried the one to my left which had a tiger clawing at me
The final one ahead and below led me into a big shippong centre food court like area.
*I can't remember what happened here*
in the next part of the dream me and some guy were between worlds. At one end of this long corridor an area you had to climb on a platform to get upto.
I'm kinda forgetting it as i speak but the main theme of this part of the dream was that i had to used a plate of food, place it on a surface stand on the food and climb through this trapdoor above me once up and through i was in a different reality, so from what i can remember i used food stood on it went into this other reality in a trap door above me and went to get someone and bring them back by standing on a place of their food and going up through this trap door with them back into my reality.
I have no clue what any of this meant or why i dreamed it

Anyone got me beat for weird dreams that make no sense?

I had a dream where Lebron James came over to my house for fun, but I was busy catching armadillo in my backyard. I caught the ******* but Lebron already left......I really did have armadillo problem past few weeks prior to the dream.......
I keep dreaming with my exgirlfriend, I want to stop, I want to forget about her, I hate her in fact, is been a year since I saw her,
but my brain keeps dreaming we are hanging out, and I wake up with the feeling that i saw her for real, is like the dream makes it feel like she was here yesterday, it is really annoying,
actually, sometimes I dream movies, movies that i make up,
is weird because I dream a plot and everything, this is one dream I had
First your dream sounds like The Matrix in the lobby scene. Then you talk to Will Smith who was originally intended to play NEO.
The parts about the paths with the dead end, the bug and the tiger sound like options for you right now in your life.
The last one sounds like it is about nutrition and food choices and how different food choices affect your worldview and other peoples experience of the world..
You stand on a different plate of food each time as a foundation for being able to get to a certain place or see a certain world.
Maybe the food stands for another kind of nourishment, like spiritual nourishment.
I've done that, i turn over and go back to sleep to find out what happens next
Fascinating, thanks for the insight
Yes, I read Stephen La Berge's book Exploring the World of Lucid DReaming and I had one that very night. I got hooked and started writing down my dreams (A key factor in developing the ability to remember if you had one) and for months I practiced.Any of you guys attempt to lucid dream?
The only way I can dream with my insomnia is if I take Melatonin, tried to decide what I was gonna dream before I went to bed and it never happens.
the problem with lucid dreams is that if you have a nightmare you are going to be F__ed,

Have you actually had one? It does not sound like you have. In a lucid dream, you can control everything.
The whole world is putty in your hands. The whole environment is more vivid and real than real life and you can go anywhere, meet anyone, and do anything you want. There are no limits. The colors are more vibrant as well, at least they can be.
You can work out real world problems in the dream time, too, which actually can work in the real world. Some people work out math problems in their dreams.
There have been cases in which a group of lucid dreamers agree to meet in the dream world on a specific night and then share pieces of information that were later confirmed upon meeting again in the waking world. It is really fascinating.
SUCK IT BUD!
in your face!
What are Lucid Nightmares?
What's going on here? As a lucid dreamer you know that when you have clarity of thought and you know you're dreaming, you also have the ability to wilfully guide the dream. No?
This was generally my interpretation - until I actually experienced my first lucid nightmare and discovered this is not always the case.
It's a well accepted fact that lucid dreaming simply entails self-awareness in dreams. Dream control is a welcome side-effect for most people but it comes with varying degrees of intensity - and is never 100% under the influence of the ego. You do not, for example, consciously create every cloud in the sky or every bird that flies overhead or every blade of grass underfoot.
In truth, the subconscious mind plays a very active role in lucid dreaming. And when the subconscious decides to air some anxieties, you have a nightmare. If you happen to be lucid at the time, your perception of the coming events will be considerably heightened.
When this happens, you still know you are dreaming and the intensity of the dream is incredibly real. But instead of consciously guiding your dream, you may become sucked in to a nightmare plot - and begin consciously observing whatever comes up. Your subconscious is so powerful in its intent, you can't overrule its manifestations.
You can experience the same thing in a regular lucid dream (ie not a lucid nightmare). In fact, many lucid dream researchers encourage it. I often relinquish control of my lucid dreams and allow my subconscious to show me what it wants. I am still lucid dreaming because I am highly self aware, the dreamscape is ultra-vivid and I can consciously react to the dream elements that are unfolding. "Passive lucid dreaming" as I've come to call it, can be far more enlightening than my conscious dream choices. Why let my flawed ego take control when my inner self has so much more to share?
In a lucid nightmare this passive following response can lead to disturbing imagery. That's not a bad thing. Think of it as an opportunity to face your inner fears and overcome them. You can seriously enrich your waking and dream lives as a result.
Sometimes conscious nightmares can be upsetting because you have no ability to control your inner demons and they terrify you. The childish method of shouting "WAKE UP" can help at this point - but I recommend confronting your demons or just letting the nightmare play out its message so you can gain a deeper understanding of the issue.
Remember, dreams and nightmares represent our nightly visit to the therapist's couch, and there is no psychological issue that can't be examined within the lucid state.
My Lucid Nightmare
I recently had a long lucid nightmare in which I knew I was dreaming but I had no control of the experience. I don't remember choosing to relinquish control at the time; it just happened. The reason I define it as a nightmare is because it involved being pursued by evil forces, being drowned (and dying) and watching a murder.
For all its violence and intensity, the experience was no worse than a typical non-lucid nightmare - in fact I'd say it was better. It was enlightening. I was still buzzing from the fact that I had become lucid and the developments thereafter were just a story, like watching a movie (albeit in total high definition 3-dimensional glory).
I'm walking through my old school at night and suddenly realize I'm dreaming, because I haven't been to this school in years. Everything zooms into focus and I can hear cicadas in the trees. A man I assume to be the Principal says: "Do you want me to help you find that thing we spoke about earlier?" I say "No thanks, I already found it." I don't know what we're talking about, but something tells me this is part of my subconscious offering to show me something... (In hindsight my subconscious decided to show me it anyway.)
Instead, I walk to the main building and find G, who I haven't seen for years. I ask him to come with me. We sit on the wall out front and I ask what he's been doing with his life. Suddenly the view from the hill disappears and we're now facing a dark, choppy ocean. He explains "I've been working on a submarine for years and I don't even know what I've got to show for it." He shows me a daytime scene - via the dream - where he's some kind of scientist studying the ocean. Then it switches back to the dark sea in front of the school.
An old friend from school approaches us and warns us something bad is coming. So we get up and walk down an alley beside a river. It's still night time. I'm lucid and aware but am no longer controlling the dream. I get the feeling I'm being told a story by my subconscious now and I want to hear it.
G tells me to climb over a 10 foot metal fence, because he wants to look at the building inside. Before I can start climbing something pushes me up like there's a giant burst of air underneath me. I land safely on the other side of the fence. Inside it's like a high security car park. I'm wondering what to do next when a dark, stick-like man comes charging through the fence we just climbed over.
"Oh great," I say, as I realize my lucid dream is turning into a nightmare and I'm losing consciousness. Then I say "No, I can deal with this!" and consciously start floating up in the air with G. More and more creatures congregate in the car park below and I realize they're like super alien zombies from the movies.
I surrender control back to G (or the dream, whichever it is) but maintain the desire to keep floating up and away from the creatures. We float up through a kind of warehouse in the sky which harbors lots of baby alien fetuses, incubating in tubes like little pupae. They suddenly fly off the shelves at us, trying to attack. "G, come ON!" I say and we float higher into the night sky.
We float up and up. Then I realize we are so high up, I can see the whole globe, all of it plunged in darkness with the smattering of lights in the cities. We are in space. I realize there should be no gravity here and we start twirling round and round, not knowing which way is up. Then G pulls us back to the intended plot.
He is suddenly up against a wall in some kind of futuristic caravan or self-contained unit (in hindsight, a submarine). Water begins to seep in then. Soon it is gushing in and G is sucked off to the other end. The water turns murky yellow and green... and as I look out the tiny window I see the alien pupae banging on the glass. I am cornered. Seems this can only end one way now.
Soon I have run out of air and I float in the submarine completely filled with dirty water, choking and drowning. I seem to have moved out of body and am observing myself dying from a third-person perspective. I think about how I once heard someone say that their soul chooses to dream of stuff they don't want to experience in real life. It seemed like quite an important insight at the time, even though I'm not sure I believe that.
It takes a few more seconds to drown and the main thing going through my mind is how violent it is. It's different from anything I've seen in the movies. It's like a cramping in my chest and knowing that there is no way to get past the suffocating water. I experience it as a fraction of the real pain my body must be experiencing because I am floating next to it, and I can see she is suffering.
I see the body finally give up and bump against the wall, the hair splayed in every direction, everything limp and lifeless. I see now, it's not me, it's a pale woman with long, thick blonde hair. Her skin is already swollen with the water.
The dream goes black.
I am zapped into my next life, maybe 30 years in. I feel a crunching pain in my chest for a moment and wonder if the drowning carried on into this next dream life. The next scene is also vivid and nightmarish, but I'm again experiencing it in a calm, almost indirect way so as not to be overwhelmed and wake up.
I zoom out to watch it as a third person again. I see that I am now a skinnier, slightly older woman with short dyed white hair. I am preparing to kill a man. He is sat down on a wooden chair, groggy and with his hands tied. What happens next grosses me out a little but I am glued. I still know I'm dreaming.
The woman (who is now definitely a third person, despite starting off as "me") cuts the man's throat and blood quickly seeps out. He raises his head, annoyed but clearly drugged, and says "What d'you do that for?" She tells him to shut up and quickly wraps a yellow string around his throat and pulls it tight. It cuts through the blood and his neck opens a little wider and I have the front row view. She then slaps a piece of silver masking tape over his mouth, yanks on the string one last time and shouts "Oh my god! Oh my god!" leaping away from the body.
People come running in from the next room - and she acts like she just found him. He's not quite dead though and his head rolls around as the blood spurts out. I know there's more to this story but I feel myself waking up and sensing my dog on the bed next to me. I try to hold on but my lucid nightmare is going... I feel my eyes opening and when I get up I realize I have way overslept.
Ahh, I see. You copied and pasted that from the page I found. I have never had a nightmare in which I was lucid, nor have I ever read of one. I have had hundreds of lucid dreams in which I controlled my environment so completely it was basically like I was God. Some dreams I just participate in, making conscious choices, and regulate how much I control the dream. Basically, my dreams it got to the point at which I was running out of stuff to think of to do, so my dreams felt like they were starting to become arbitrary.
When I am lucid, I am always invulnerable in my dreams. Absolutely nothing can harm me. I am like the Beyonder from the Marvel comics. That is the basically the best description.
Even if I am not lucid, in every dream, I am bulletproof and have super strength, like the Juggernaut...
