<p>so after watching Inception, anybody ever wonder about the purpose of dream and has anyone done lucid dream?</p>
<p>I’ve lucid dreamed about two dozen times. They’re quite possibly the best things ever 
I fly, do magic, and basically rule the world. I also can wake up from a nightmare, go back to sleep, and enter a lucid dream that way. However, this doesn’t happen very often :/</p>
<p>hey how do you realize you are in a dream though?
and anyone ever experienced the phenomenon that multiple people are in the same dream?</p>
<p>I’ve never experienced that, but I usually suddenly realize that I’m dreaming because of something crazy happening, like flying or a nightmare. At that point, I try to hold on to the dream and not wake up</p>
<p>I’ve experienced that like, twice (that I remember).</p>
<p>It was pretty awesome ^.^</p>
<p>I’ve lucid dreamed a couple times. They’re pretty cool. I also have a dream journal so I can improve my dream recall.</p>
<p>and anyone ever experienced the phenomenon that multiple people are in the same dream at the same time?</p>
<p>I lucid dream all the time. I run that ****.</p>
<p>The best lucid dream that I’ve ever had is when I was flying up in the air across the grass field in my elementary school. Everyone lined up and took his or her turn to be flied across in the air by me. Afterwards, I saw an airplane and made it crash into the portable of my 3rd grade class. A sewage hole appeared next to it, and I took my two best friends down and there was a river and swamp-like scenery with an old hermit fishing off in the side. We then crawled out up and appeared in the local Office depot.</p>
<p>That’s the only kind of dream I have, except the harsh reality kind (wake up, brush teeth, get shower, go to the SAT center, get your test book… Wake up, wash, rinse repeat. I’ve been through 4 cycles of this, no kidding).</p>
<p>It’s really awesome, especially if the dream involves dangerous situations… It’s like being Jedi and The Matrix at the same time: “If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine… Because YOUR ENTIRE REALITY EXISTS IN MY IMAGINATION! MUAHAHAHA!”</p>
<p>i had this awesome dream a few months ago but all i remember is that i had these enormous feathery white wings and i took off flying from the football field at my school and then i was on jupiter. don’t remember what happens after that…</p>
<p>I can only lucid dream if I have a nightmare, it starts out bad but then I ninja-punch out dinosaurs with my new zombie best friend. Only if it’s a nightmare, regular dreams just play out annoyingly.</p>
<p>But I don’t know why we dream, it doesn’t make sense that it’s to clear out whatever junk is in our brain or to clear our minds because dogs dream and how much stress can they possibly be clearing out? And then it’s really outside forces that effect our dreams, like smells or noises, not inside. So I don’t know.</p>
<p>I probably have…because in many of my dreams i often realize that i’m in a dream…not in reality.</p>
<p>Once i read somewhere that we’re sleeping/dreaming [in Islam] God takes away your soul…it’s kind of seen as a "lesser death.</p>
<p>But basically dreams just reflect your everyday life and things that plague you on the inside, right? Since i’m the type that doesn’ really remember dreams…unless if they’re unique or scary in some way…sometimes i try to remember them for a while and then look it up on a dream interpretation website. Most of the time its VERY accurate…like no joke.</p>
<p>I just remembered…does anybody else happen to get deja vu from their dreams sometimes?
It’s happened to me a few times.–it’s like i’ve dreamt of something then after some time it actually happens…weird. I know this one egyptian lady who’s my arabic/islamic teacher…and when she was younger she used to have frequent dreams about stuff that was actually going to happen…even when the husband was going to propose to here and some house was about to catch on fire…</p>
<p>I’ve several times realized that I was in a dream while I was still asleep. A couple of times I have gone through sleep paralysis too which is really freaky.</p>
<p>^what’s sleep paralysis? sorry :/</p>
<p>I have another thought/question: what do you think happens when you die in a dream? Do you actually die in real-life…? I know of at least two people that have died in their sleep…obviously due to underlying conditions though.</p>
<p>I think if you die in the dream, you probably have the chance to die in real life, because you heart is working too much. but if you can wake up and scream, that means you aren’t die yet
actually I think I had a deja vu from my dream. but again, it was a deja vu, it could happen right there, and tricking your mind into believing that you had already seen it in your dream, but actually did not. So the claim of your teacher maybe false, perhaps she just had a lot of deja vu.
dream interpretation website? It’s like other clairvoyant stuff. they say a generic thing about you, then because it’s so generic and most of us are prone to have the same traits ( we’re all humans), so my advice is not to trust those… a lot</p>
<p>Sometimes dreams connect to my real life, so I often have de javu.</p>
<p>sleep paralysis is scary… it’s when your brain awakes from REM sleep but the body’s paralysis persists. </p>
<p>i have deja vu a lot…</p>
<p>^^^I’ve died in my dream plenty, then I come back as a ghost or something dead-but-not-really. Sometimes I’ve just died and that ends the dream but I don’t wake up.</p>
<p>I have plenty of lucid dreams, especially after recovering from sleep deprivation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Indeed. It’s only happened to me once, and that was more than enough.</p>
