Falling Dreams...
PostPosted: Thu 19 Sep, 2002  Reply with quote

Who here has had a falling dream, did it end when youhit the ground?

I've had this dream a few times, where I fell from up high, hit the ground and then bounced really high in the air, and it was so scary while I was falling, but I just kept on bouncing.

I've also had a dream where I was walking home from school, and suddenly it was forcing me to take huge steps and I ran way past my house.

Anyway, post your falling dreams. smile

I don't normally have non LD falling dreams, so I don't know if this counts:) - but I had a really great LD the other night where I was jumping off this ledge & allowing short free falls, but trying to stop in mid-air right before I hit the ground. It was lots of fun, but I ALWAYS eventually bumped the ground just a little. Its actually really hard to do!
I'd never make it in the Matrix:)

I had this one dream, where I was lucid, and I jumped off my deck to try to fly. The whole scene streached downwards and I started to fall. The image turned into a huge cliff (which I was falling from) with an ocean at the bottom, with lots of rocks. I hit the bottom, not feeling any pain, just the thud of my impact.
When I looked up, I saw that I was below my deck, in a puddle, soaking wet.
This is the only falling dream I remember having, and I always thought it was cool, cause it really shows how changeable dreams are.

I've had dreams where I deliberately jump down, but haven't had one for a few months now. Its an amazing feeling and I get a major rush, although I am scarred during the dream.

Well besides the fun, I think there's a reason for the intense falling sensation. Last time I recall falling; I walk up some wooden stairs and one brakes and I fall through, and I awake suddenly. Is it possibe that it happens because the heart actually skips a beat (possibly maturing) and your mind associates that by falling? I know the timeframe is tight, but this might have happened more often than I remembered when I was younger, because I often fell asleep quickly after.

I wasn't lucid in this dream...but I once a dream where a ton crazy stuff was happening and I eventually got stuck to one of those theme-park dropping rides. It was pretty much infinitely tall and scared me to death. When it dropped I was pretty much scared out of my wits and I could feel the whole stomach thing going on and I felt helpless the whole time.

I cant remember any falling dreams I have had, or if Ive had them. But one thing that I would associate with the falling dreams is sometimes I awaken to a violent twitch. When Im sleeping my body suddenly bolts, and I wake up. I cant remember seeing any dream or anything before I wake up though.. One time though, I think I slipped in my dream and thats why it happened. Its very odd sensation and it usually comes when I havent been asleep for too long.

Cyril, that happens to me occasionally. I never remember a dream before it, just the sensation of falling. And I wake up suddenly, clutching the matress or something to keep from falling. It's usually when I'm half asleep, so I'm not even sure if it's a dream.

I had a falling dream when I was 2. I was falling down the stairs, but it was more like flying about 2 feet above the stairs. I kept falling and falling until I woke up....never have landed in a dream. More recently I had a dream where I was sort of half falling, half flying. I was scared cuz I couldn't really control myself and there was telephone poles, not to mention the baby sitting on top of the wire which I had to safely get down. Since then I've had no falling dreams but 2 flying ones that were really intense.

I have had quite a few falling dreams.
Especially when I was young when I had a preoccupation with it.
From the time I was 5yrs old till when I was 9 yrs old I had dreamed of
Falling off:

    The side of an apartment building balcony.
    Off the upper level of a mall.
    Out of many trees.
    Off of an elephant.
    Off of a merry-go-round.
    Off of the John Hancock building.
    Off a moving train.
    Off a moving car.
    Off a moving motorcycle.
    Off a moving school bus.
    Off 2 different schools.
    Off of a 8 story hospital building.
    Off of Mr Ed.

And the list goes on and on.
Not to mention the Dream I had of dying when I was 8 yrs old.
In dream I have been:

[list]
Shot(several different ways).
Stabbed.(several different ways).
Had my throat slit.(several different ways).
Been hung.(several different ways).
Impaled.(several different ways).
Stabbed, cut up, impaled and dragged through the streets of a mid-evil town to death.
Electrocuted.(several different ways).
Dismembered.(several different ways).
Lobotomized.(several different ways).
Been bludgeoned to death.

Not to mention many times before I had usually been dreaming about taking a bath. WTF is up with that?
But oh well. I dont have those dreams anymore.
Flying dreams are another thing I have had many more of those.

Wow you certianly have had a lot of gruesome dreams. Glad that they're over for you. Maybe the bath dream happened because your subconscious thought you were dirty.

Falling!!!
PostPosted: Thu 12 Dec, 2002  Reply with quote

I still remember my first and last falling dream. I used to be terrified of falling until I read a book that talked about dreaming about falling and actually allow to continue falling.

I'm dreaming that I'm in the tornado, going higher and higher. All of a sudden, the sky become clear and I'm falling rapidly. I'm so high and I can see the landscape with an ocean becoming bigger and bigger. I become afraid, but for some reason, I become lucid. I become very brave and decide to allow myself to fall. You know what? It doesn't hurt! I wake up, wanting to have more falling dreams! What a rush! By the way, I never have falling nightmares anymore!

I just love it when I become LD and conquer my own fears and the nightmares disappear afterwards!

the worst falling dream i've had was in the worst and only true nightmare about 8 yrs ago. at the end of the nightmare, which i still remember vividly and still scares me to death, i fell through a sinkhole down into a huge cavern toward a shallow stream with lots of rocks. right before i hit the ground it went 3rd person and i saw a splash. i think i would have rather just hit the ground than watch it. what a horrible nightmare.

my first dream I fell of a cliff and I felt wind blowing against me. It was the first time I felt stuff in my dream. Now I like to jump off huge cliffs(some times doing tricks)and then I stop in the air right above the bottom,then I fly back up and do it again. It took awhile to get it down but it sure is fun.
