How realistic/absurd are your dreams?

hmm yes the zombies, argh one time i couldn’t fly away, and another time they flew after me!

Zombies aren’t supposed to fly… :eek: That would suck for me, I never have problems flying but I’m terrified of dead people and if they could chase after me that would just…suck. :eek: I forget, how are zombies supposed to be killed? You know, like wearwolves and silver and vampires and the sun. wants to be prepared in case she has any zombie dreams :tongue:

Zombies are killed by destroying the brain or severing the head. Such as a headshot from a gun etc. Of course, if you ever meet a zombie…don’t trust this information as it is just what books and movies say and it could be something completely different.

Oh, and flying zombies would not be cool.

My dreams are pretty realistic but they usually involve absurd scenarios. Last night I had a dream I was at this smoke shop where the owner gives me discounts on everything but the smokeshop was massive and it ended up being part of my house and all my family and the owners family were hanging out while I was looking for a new piece. Then for some reason I was hanging out with pornstars. So it was an absurd scenario but realistic-ish.

Completely and utterly absurd. My dreams generally follow a storyline, but lots of facts are wrong or made up by my SC (check my DJ for carnivorous cakes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. artifacts that make you explode, nightly swims in huge tubs of custard, etc). The only thing that seems to stay realistic/normal is the physics.

Also, crazy dreams seem much more beleivable because so many things are wrong that one more thing out of place won’t be noticed.

Plenty of strange things in my dreams, though the level of absurdity varies. There’s always something abnormal though.

smokes and pornstars what more could you want.

sometimes my mind works against me in a dream, if i fly away from a zombie and i think to myself “hope they don’t fly after me” they’ll end up flying after me.

the thing that scares me the most is when im having an alien dream, and sometimes if my dream goes black for some reason i will be frantically looking for a lightswitch, then i’ll start thinking about all the monsters/aliens that could be around. Those grey aliens creep me out, i often force awake when it happens and end up in SP which isn’t much better.

I’d say mine are inbetween mostly. Pretty realistic but pretty weird too. Lots of incosistencies but not that crazy. I wish I had more crazy dreams, they are alot more fun. I don’t think it’s any easier to realise I’m dreaming with either realistic or random dreams. It’s easier to realise i’m dreaming in VIVID dreams. But I guess realistic dreams are not as confusing so it’s easier to think.

what the hell? :eek: what drugs are you on and where can i get some? :tongue:
I think its easy to become lucid in random dreams because its easier to notice that its different from ordinary waking life.

I didn’t say I wanted crazy dreams so I could more easily realize I’m lucid. I love the world of dreams, but a rehash of my day is hardly fun. I want to take advantage of the brain’s ability to put together a smorgasbord of images and sensations, and have interesting dreams.

I am quite open-minded, but until recently I’ve been having trouble being imaginative. I hope that working on that is going to result in a wackier dream world. I’m starting to think… what if the forests were made of chocolate? And things like that.

Right now I am reading a book by Barry Yourgrau, consisting of these short dream-like stories. I hope I’ll have more dreams like them. :razz:

Funny you should ask… In one dream I was smoking something that made me feel sleepy, then stood up to watch someone being chased by a giant pair of bunny slippers :tongue: . So maybe I am on drugs. :wink:

I get an even mix of both. I like the random ones though because they make me lucid. Lots of wtf moments to realize I’m dreaming. Even if I don’t get lucid, they’re still very fun dreams.

I’ve had 2 ND with zombies in it. I was trying to fight off a zombie with a pencil, b/c my dad wouldn’t give me the gun. :happy:

The other one, was a freaky game that I was in.

Im still at the stage of trying to recognise dreams.
My dreams are realistic but with an obvious flaw/clue that I never realise until I wake up :grrr:
Yesterday’s dream was, me going to a bar and being served a beer by Moe (simpsons), I didnt realise something was wrong until I woke up :cry:

My dreams are incredibly detailed, which makes it difficult to realise that they’re dreams even though what happens in them may be totally ridiculous!

Last night, for instance, I was so convinced by my dream that I failed to get lucid even when sat next to myself on a coach!

Dang!

thats a good sign… means you should have a lucid fairly soon. perhaps try to remember to do reality checks while your at the pub and also while your watching simpsons :wink:

My dreams have been so realistic lately that it’s hard to become lucid. Strangely I’ve been reliving random memories in my dreams, so that just makes it harder to make the realization. The wierd part is that when I see something out of place, I use lucidity to correct it…It’s like I just want to have normal dreams or something, I often wake up and wonder why I fixed the mistake instead of exploiting it. :eh:

My dream last night (actually day) was typically inbetween. After my brother and I were done climbing a tree and waving a stick and a 2 by 4 around for some reason, we meet my little sister who does not exist fighting with her friend (or girlfriend, I had a hunch) and go to the store, and i comfort her, she becomes happy, then turns into a cat and almost gets run over by a car. I have a false awakening where my two friends have broken into my house and are smoking weed. To get in they had knocked over the computertable at wich I am currently sitting while climbing in though the window. The monitor was broken, it was the wrong kind of monitor, and my friend said “you have to fix your monitor”. I thought it was strange that I didn’t hear the table falling over. I figured I can sleep through anything.
My cat woke me up by biting the sole of my foot.

My dreams are usually completely normal, but something about them always seems weird. checks DD

Actually, you know what? My dreams are the weirdest things ever!

  1. I was living in Webkinz world, and my webkinz was being bratty. I bought the pool that I’ve been wanting to buy, though!
  2. Eden and I were in an aisle, and there was something chasing us. I think it was a giant doll… (?) Eden and I started running, and it was chasing us. Then it disappeared, and I checked to make sure it was really gone. It was, so I told Eden it was safe, but she didn’t believe me and kept running. Then there was this huge fire that was chasing us down the aisles (like Crabbe’s fire in Harry Potter 7?) and always came close to catching us, but never did. I ran and ran and arrived at Rudy’s house. The fire didn’t follow me, but there was something really bad and scary there, and it was big and completely covered in a cloak. I fought it (I think, I forget the details) and ran down the street, where I saw the fire in the house next door.
  3. there was a flashback of the teacher and this hedge thing that said something like ‘HI TEACH!’
    that one was in animation, and the teacher was the one from hey, arnold
    I’ve had weirder, but I’ve been neglecting my DD a little.

Often my dreams are quite random, but I often have dreams about what I think about the most, for example I love Stargate and probably think about it… well most of the day! So often my dreams are Stargate dreams. If you would read my DJ you would find that my dreams are random, very random.
