Ever had this dream where....

[RP33]

I've had both dreams..

normally i'm in a fight or something like that and my punches are completely ineffective..

you should read up on how to have lucid dreams.. i've sort of succeeded the other night.. it takes a lot of meditation and clearing your head and stuff.. i actually popped a couple of pain killers to relax, and concentrated on riding a motorcycle and i actually rode a motorcycle in my dream, but wasn't in complete control.. but maybe eventually it will get to that point..

Here's one for you. For starters, I remember being born. I remember seeing the lights in the room and going down a hallway, the noises.

So now, I often dream, and am still reenacting that...but am no longer a baby, and cannot move. I am being carted away, going somewhere dangerous or being abducted...and can't so much as blink or talk or do fook all about it.

I had those dreams.


I used to always have dreams where my teeth were falling out.


The most dangerous ones are the dreams where you are taking a piss.


When I was younger sex dreams were great. Now the fuckers never finish.

It's a very common dream experienced by everybody.

There's actually a scientific explanation. You feel paralysed in your dream because you ARE paralysed in that moment in real life!

During REM sleep (rapid eye movement, deep sleep) when brain activity is highest the brain automatically shuts your body down to stop you from moving.

This is essential to prevent you from carrying out in reality what you are dreaming about.

So it stops your body from being able to move so you can't really go and jump out of a window or knife somebody whilst asleep.

If you dream during this time you'll experience the paralysis in your dream.
