hey, since august i have been having insane dreams. most intense where when i stopped smoking weed. they seemed like proper movies feeling like lasted for hours including full emotions and waking up in full shock like what the fuck! they didn't seem to bother me but only about two weeks ago i had a faze of really really intense dreams, as i was worrying about them i wasn't relaxed and at one point was realising that i was in a dream and questioning people in my dreams. but me and my friend (when awake) realised that your dreams are based on your memories, so anything i ask i will get the answer i want as is in my head already. in one instance i was so aware of dreaming, i opened on eye lid and could see my room. whilst the other was in my dream for a little while before i fully woke up! this was more intense than most drugs! ha ha. im just getting used to dreaming now and not letting it bother me.
Oh yes I can relate. My dreams have always been very eventful and marvelous. Lately they have become more and more vivid, and I don't know about you but my memory of previous dreams I had years ago randomly pop into my head when awake. This dream memory phenomena happened while I was in a dream once and the setting of my dream changed right before my eyes, I felt like my movements were predetermined and I was forced to go on with the dream until I woke up. I talked to a person in my dream, he even shook my hand in this weird way and said he does it that way because it's "friendlier."
Funny thing is, i smoke weed every single day i don't dream at all, because i smoke right because i go to bed. Best part is when i don't smoke at night or cannot for different reasons such as traveling etc, i notice my dreams are very vivid and also strong in the sense that they feel more real and last longer, thats really dope tho..enjoy
Don't underestimate what you can learn by questioning people in your dreams. The answer might be something that's already in your own head, but isn't readily accessible by your conscious mind. The meaning behind all your dreams lies somewhere in your mind but they can still be exceptionally hard to interpret. I also sort of have this strange unconfirmed belief that if someone tells you something you didn't know in a dream, it might actually be true. One time I went on a strict diet and I ate very little and I was hungry all the time, and it somehow messed me up chemically so that even after I quit I didn't go back to feeling the way I felt before, I just felt depressed and lifeless and I wasn't really interested in anything anymore. While I was on the diet, I had this lady come to me in a dream, and she was looking at me very sadly and she told me I needed to eat more. I thought it was weird but I didn't take her advice and I wish I had.
Dreams can go so far beyond your memories. I recall my vivid, colourful dreams usually after each night's sleep. I've noticed that my dreams have subtle ties to my "real life" but for the most part, are manifestations of my subconscious mind. The best thing you can do with your dreams is question them. If you can do this while dreaming, even better. An amazingly effective way to encourage lucid dreaming is to make a habit of "reality checks". The one that I would reccommend is trying to breathe through your nose while you're plugging it with your thumb and finger. Do this whenever it crosses your mind and soon the habit will make it's way into your dream world. 9 times out of 10 you'll be able to breathe through a plugged nose in your dream and will instantly become lucid. It's amazing to say the least. Lucid dreaming is an experience that is almost unprecedented. Here is one, of infinite reasons, why you should do everything in your power to learn how to lucid dream = you can fly.
I know people rave about lucid dreaming and try very hard to attain lucidity but I don't know if I agree with it. I have lucid dreams effortlessly on a very regular basis and while sometimes they can be quite entertaining, a lot of times the fact that I know I'm dreaming sort of interferes with things and wakes me up. I usually have lucid dreams when I go back to sleep after being awake for a little while in the middle of the night, and so I'll go into a lucid dream and then I get too excited about the fact that I'm dreaming that I wake up, or sometimes I'll sort of teeter on the threshold between waking and sleeping and so I don't really get a good night's rest.
If you write down your dream right after waking up, each morning after that it becomes easier to remember each night's dream. I was doing that for a while and I remember taking a shower and this big dog that was pretty much a bear, scared me out of there and I ran outside. Then it started getting annoying with the simplistic boring dreams that I was getting so I stopped writing and started forgetting....
I've noticed that the dreams you have right before you wake up in the morning are actually pretty boring compared to the ones you have late at night. Like I went to bed around 8 or 9 and then woke up around 12 or 1 and I had been having a dream that my tongue was a Rubik's cube. Those kind of dreams can be insanely strange.
I have had crazy, intense, insane dreams since I was very very young. I have very vivid recollections of dreams that I had when I was four or five years old, a few of them so convincing that for a long time I thought they were memories.
