Dream thread

[StachuK1992]

I've already asked a few times in other threads, iirc, but nonetheless:

From 5'th grade until ~3 months ago, I hadn't remembered a single dream.
I started taking melatonin at that point (for non dream-related reasons), and actually had a few dreams initially, one of them "half-lucid(?)."
I haven't remembered any since.

Basically, any tips on making myself dream *at all*?

Vivid dreams aren't good in any way for me, unless it is obviously a happy dream. I don't like being trapped for hours in an unreal world, especially if it is about me falling off 12 story buildings that had no railing (I'm sort of acrophobic). I have to really think before falling asleep to have a lucid dream, and those are usually fun, except where I want to get out of my dream, like bad, and I'm friggin' locked there for what feels like a whole day or adventure (I remember a really weird one from, like, 6 years ago, where I had to go through these doors that lead to other climates and stuff). If I had a choose between no dreaming at all, and continuing like normal, I'd take the former.

fun fact: I enjoy(ed) nightmares when I have (had) them. Like, I'd wake up scared as a little baby, but after that, I could look back upon it and just smile.
I'm a strange bird.

I dreamed about new Square-1 WRs by some guy in the US that nobody knew.
Average = 9.xx
Single = 3.xx

for 5 years, I dream about pokemon at least once a month. I haven't watched pokemon for 5 years. There is always a subliminal sounding message in my dreams.

Oh wow! :O I would love to learn this.
Tell us more. Any tips?

I don't know, it's just something that happens to me. I don't try and force it or anything.

Sometimes I'll drift from being awake directly into a dream - often happens when I'm really tired. This feels like a different mental state to otherwise, it's kind of like "lol ok im asleep nao". When this happens I tend to wake myself up so I can "fall asleep properly" - I've never really let it carry on.

When I dream normally, it's not like I have total control or whatever. I like to 'go along with the dream' - it's like playing about in a hallucination. I know it's not real, but at the same time it feels /so real/. It's hard to describe, but it's like a different world with different properties. Somehow, I know that it isn't the real world and I can stop it all whenever I like - but I think I enjoy deluding myself into thinking it's real. Too much of a reality check starts to make the world seem very transparent and the place I reside in isn't nearly as enjoyable. The things you allow yourself to do when you lucid dream are much more fun when you think they won't end.

I actually had a cubing dream last night, and this has happened very rarely for me ever since I started. I dreamt that I was with a small group of cubers, none of whom I recognized as an actual cuber that I know, and someone had a 16x16x6 cube. We all passed it around trying it, and when it got to me it was slightly scrambled. I remember trying to fix it the few remaining unsolved pieces with commutators, because I wanted to do a pixelated word or design, but the layers were so small that it was hard to turn small groups of them. Then my alarm went off and I woke up.

Not very involved I know, but I'm surprised that I actually dreamt about cubing at all. As much as I enjoy cubing, I can count how cubing dreams I've had using only one hand.

Once I had a dream where I just kept falling for hours and hours, then in the dream I saw the floor then just before I hit the floor I woke up. I hate those dreams so much when you're about to die ¬_¬

A couple of weeks ago there was a cube in my dream, which is odd. It was a lucid dream so I was curious to see what it would be like to solve the cube and just analyze the pieces in my head. I turned it and it popped and that was the end of it and I walked off because the tide was coming in fast.

 

[Yes We Can!]

Today I dreamed that someone stole my F2 mad:) but he kept denying when I asked him if he had stolen it.
Then I woke up and was very eased when it was still there

And a few days before that, I dreamed that I couldn't find the venue for German Nationals, searched for the whole day (saturday) but didn't find it O_o. So I could just go on Sunday which I was mad about because I couldn't compete at 4x4

And for some reason, if I dream I am at a competition, the comps always really suck Then I wake up and am happy that it wasn't the real comp

I had a cube-related dream a few nights back. I dreamed I somehow won a 4x4 at some attraction park or something, but a while later I realised it was a 5x5. There was a complete story before and between that, but I don't remember it anymore.

I used to be interested in lucid dreaming and because of that, I always wrote down my dreams. Writing dreams you have down on paper greatly helps with dream recalling by the way! If you want to remember your dreams better, just grab a piece of paper right now and write down all the dreams you can remember. Also write down dreams you had when you wake up, and after a week or so you'll notice a big improvement in dream recalling! Back then I went from almost never remembering a dream to 4-6 dreams every day

I had this dream where Bart Simpson and I were trekking through the jungle, and all of a sudden a polar bear attacks us. Bart takes out a machete and chops his head off. and that's all I can remember,

Every dream I have consists of this:

Something bad happens to me/someone I know, I try to scream, but I make no sound.

Every.
F***ing.
Time.

2 cubing dreams last night:

1. Sitting at a computer in school. Anthony was next to me. Asked him if he used all of his EG-2 algs in his solves. He said yea.

2. All of the Aussie cubers started talking about Zane C and how awesome he was. They were saying that he was such a good singer and other good things about him. There was a vid posted on him, in which he was singing. Looked like the inside of a club or something.

Very weird dreams ...

 

[KboyForeverB]

I dreamt once that I got 35.39 on 4x4

Lmao. Btw, this is your subconscious thoughts, so maybe you want to see Zane singing inside a club...

I had a very arousing lucid dream a few nights ago dealing with airplanes, basketball teams, and floating over fences.

 

[That70sShowDude]

Lol, I don't even know what Zane looks like or anything. I just see his name on the forums.
I would never go to a club btw, haha.

 

[Zane_C]

Haha, I just looked at this and laughed.

One of my friends had this dream where I gave this girl I like a surprise wedding. I blindfolded her and told her i had a surprise and drove her to the place. She (My friend, the dreamer) had taken care of all the arrangements at the hall and all. She had convinced the girl's parents as well. So we reach the wedding spot and I un BLD her and we all yell "SURPRISE" like it's her birthday or something. Fun part is, everyone's in casuals! So i tell her that we're getting married and she's so shocked that she doesn't even realize when we take the marriage oaths (and the traditional Indian wedding 7-rounds-around-the-fire-thing). Seemed cool haha! Hope something like that actually happens it'll be a killer lol

I always seem to have this dream where I'm going to a cube competition, but I forget my cubes. In my dream, it's the worst feeling ever. It's always way too late to go home. However, in the one last night, I also was a couple hours late and in the wrong city ...

 

[endless_akatsuki]

I seem to have a lot of dreams about me hatching some kind of heist, and as we execute it, I get stopped by the police because I'm only 15 and don't have a license.
