The subconscious is like the brain's repair algorithm. It's a way for you to deal with every day life. It also thinks on its own, has its own impulses, and has its own thoughts, it's a brain within a brain.

Ah, so my auto-repair must be broken. Bummer

[Pastinator]

But if a brain has a brain inside it, then we have a brain ina brain...
My head hurts.

hmm, not being able to remember a dream at all prolly means the brain is too good at its job, jeeves.
if anything, some lucid training should increase your chances of remembering dreams though, as theres not much point in a lucid dream if you cant remember it they usually have alot of exercises to remember dreams.

And if you smoke weed or smoked a lot of weed, it appears to block out remembering dreams. Still lucid dream training works from what i see of other people on the internet, especially some dream websites.

[duke_Qa]

so you are in a disadvantage then

lucid dreaming training would probably demand a sharp brain, so yeah, drugs won't help unless you inject caffein into your blood while sleeping or something that kicks you into high-gear during sleep

Or, you sleep walk while killing commies...

Well yeah and the dreams i do remember seem totally unrelated to my life and random as fuck or even fucked up.

Like one time i dreamt i was at home and there was a disease destroying the world population. For some reason people took shelter in my house and everyone started dying, so i ran to work and slept in the bailer. When i woke up i remembered it and was like WTF was that about.

Another dream i remember slamming a sledge hammer down on the queens car because she beeped me in a traffic jamp. I got out opened my boot and slammed this sledge hammer on her bonnet. She got it out and then i realised it was the queen but didn't apoligize.

No idea how these have anything to do with my daily life, but maybe theres something there. I've researched dreams but never really got fully interested in it to find out what these dreams could mean lol. Maybe its just random dreams.

Last time i remembered a dream was well over a year ago btw.

[Cossack]

Oh, Ive had plenty of dreams I can remember vividly....none of which I can mention in this forum though.

[duke_Qa]

sounds kinky. though the last dream i remember very well was quite interesting and psychotic at the same time.



it was like some sort of modern combat/ww2 combat situation(can't recall exactly atm, there were automatic weapons at least) and i was a soldier in some lone squad that had finished some minor important mission, and since there apparently was no way we would survive the counterattack the group apparently started hunting each other just for the hell of it. so people scattered through this large abandoned industrial-building of sorts, shooting at each other whenever one saw another.

eventually i bumped into a sort of bridge going over a dried out canal or sorts. not concrete but brickwork canal with some old style. someone was coming after me in the halls so i figured i try jumping into the basin hatch.

dark and gloomy spot, alot more dungeon-esque than the industrial building on top. and ofcourse the first thing that comes at me is a zombie, i shoot that one with my gun, takes a few shots before it goes down. then some skeletons come at me, use up the rest of the ammo on that.

then i had to pick up one of the weapons belonging to the skeletons or zombies and start mauling these creatures to hell. fun thing was that everytime i killed something, points would float up from their corpses as if calculating a high-score(think oblivion inspired that dungeon, but other games inspired the floating numbers).anyway, sometimes these corpses dropped items, and i got some kind of "cloak of vampirism on steroids" which actually was quite interesting in itself.

now there was an amount of cultists and stuff popping up inside the dungeon aswell, but i've gotten over the inital horde of stuff coming at me, and i was sneaking about using the powers the cloak gave me. when i'm saying "vampirism on steroids" i really mean cannibalism, for it was basically kill the cultists, tear into their flesh a little and *poof* their flesh were gone and i got more strength and power.

at this moment i think i started philosofing about the morality of eating people, even though they were cultists clearly worshipping something evil. and i think that this might have caused me to become partially lucid as i might have realized thats not something you ask yourself in real life. and the problem with lucidity is that you quite often wake up when you start understanding something is amiss.


i think this dream has been heavily affected by these games: 1942/bf2, oblivion, clive barkers undying(you get the "scythe of the celts" which basically cuts things into pieces and gives you life with a nice sucking sound after it has killed something).

hows that for a psychotic dream

[Airman]

Wow...I had one that I was in a bunker with another soldier and we were getting bombed.

Anyways, it sounds like a good idea for a game...

[Jeeves]

Or, you sleep walk while killing commies...

I sleepwalked as a kid
If I did it now I'm sure someone would have told me by now :shifty:

duke_Qa, you soo play to many computer games

[Tom]

Yeah i do remember when i started playing BF2 i had one weird dream.

I was a soldier as well but in a BF2 simulation and my place of work (Sainsburies) was a flag to capture. My squad stormed the building and started shooting sainsburies employees who were funnily enough fighting back with vegetables. We then captured the flag which was in the smoking room (I spent alot of time in there at work lol). Can't remember much else after that, the dream sort of mutated into something else, but yeah games definately can influence dreams.

I don't think i've ever had a dream in which i wake up and not think "what the fuck." heh

[Airman]

Ever hav ea dream mixed with Counterstrike and WoW?

[Tom]

No, i don;t play either But enlighten me if you have heh

[Airman]

This was several weeks ago, but I remember it well.

I was playing my wow character, but we had the weapons from counstrike. For some reason, I was shooting the dwarves with my machine gun. Then we infiltrated a castle building, and the dream ended after I got inside.

One of my mate keeps on having very vivid dreams of him finding his father dead in his bedroom.
He's been having it for about a week now, he's getting really freaked out because last time he dreamt of his grandfather dying he died a month later.

[Paladin58]

Well, question is, is his father doing anything that could be life-threatening for cardiac arrest to occur in sleep?

Well, I've got one. What's strange is that since I've been little, I've remembered one dream where I walked into a house, and met some people with my grandpa. I can't remember for the life of me who the family was, all I know is that several years later, I actually did go to this house with my grandpa, and met this exact family from my dream. Nothing particularly stood out about it, it just creeps me out that I remember having that dream, and then after a long hiatus approaching that dream again, except in reality. I have also been known to predict things coming, and I have had the 'dream-into-reality' thing happen before.

[duke_Qa]

a deya vu-esque situation, you probably have met the family sometime in the past, and the brain has partially forgotten about it. but once the right mental queues appear it starts to remember it again.

hmm, i've got some experiences akin to that. some close family members like aunts and a grandfather of me, i remember very keenly the last time i saw them in good health, but at that time i had a very gloomy feeling about them, not a hate against them but a sorrow and a sort of detachment, as preparing for the worst. i remember the last thing i really said to my grandfather was "farewell" instead of byebye or a see you later. was 8 at that time so saying the word "farewell" was not really in my vocabulary either.

it could be the sub-consciouness picking up on signals that the 'dying' persons body is sending out, but thats just a guess really.
