Fugazi Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Originally posted by Milton Edit: Mammero I have a question for you. Last night I was dreaming and I couldn't turn on the lights so I figured out I was dreaming, so I'm like shit, I'm pretty sure I'm dreaming so I tried to put my hand through the wall, and I hit it hard, and it just shook the wall a little and hurt. If I know I'm dreaming why cant I punch through the wall? This is a fairly common dream, and it's because you don't realize that you are dreaming; that pseudo-sense of knowledge that you're asleep is false, and is confounded by things that would occur when you're awake.

eseLokE1uno Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 When you can control/manipulate your dreams that is called lucid dreaming, it is fairly easy to do once you realize that you are just dreaming it might take some practice because you need to be confident while in this state if you wish to have complete control over yourself and your surrounding environment- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucid dreaming is becoming quite trendy though... so dream away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLAYTONCROWN Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Originally posted by Jackson ---------------------- Sleep Paralysis ____The characteristics of sleep paralysis are as follows: * Inability to move or speak for 30 seconds - 3 minutes * Speech is difficult or almost impossible * Happens before falling asleep or just after waking up * Can be hereditary * Can be brought on by stress ____Sleep paralysis is the experience of waking up (usually form a dream) and feeling paralyzed, except for being able to breathe and move the eyes. Hypnogogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis may occur together. These conditions are common in people with narcolepsy but can also effect others, particularly people who are sleep-deprived. Although a pretty terrifying event, these events are not physically harmful. There are two major types of sleep paralysis: common (typical) also known as CSP and hallucinatory (hypnagogic) sleep paralysis known as HSP. i get that every once and a while. it makes me never want to sleep again.

To my knowledge long-term/short-term memory are both accessible through lucid dreaming so I dont see why they would suffer, I think that it would strengthen the mind not weaken it- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current research indicates that dreams are vital in memory formation and emotional expression. Dreams consist of largely subconscious experiences from the past "x" amount of time. When you work to control your dreams, I'm not even completely convinced your brain waves drop below theta (correct me if I'm wrong) and if you truly are creating a "conscious" experience I fail to see how this would aid in the storage and formation of memories.

anal rapist Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 For the past year I wake up around 4am and for a few seconds see someone either stood near my bed or sat beside it, one time it was there staring at me with it's hand on my bed. I think it's stress related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26SidedCube Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Look at it this way, because of dreaming you can know exactly how you're going to feel before you die. Fucked up, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oner Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I suffer from sleep paralysis fairly frequently. I've had one episode of HSP, and that pretty well sucked, not being able to breathe and all. Sometimes I'll wake up but feel like I'm hovering above my bed, or spinning freely while paralyzed. I do not enjoy such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
