dreams & dreaming

While birds are fast asleep, their brains remain active, firing off electrical signals that can mimic those that occur while they’re awake and singing. This silent brain activity can even make the vocal muscles in their chests and throats move—similar to the way a sleeping dog’s paws might...

I would instinctively place this in the "connected dreams" thread, which has been almost entirely taken over by me as a personal dream journal. But on consideration the source of the "information" in this one isn't clear, and its novel in a number of ways, so it gets its own thread... My best...

I touched a 'night terror' several years ago as I struggled to sleep. It was roughly 2:30, I was sleeping but my mind was still highly active and racing, it being a Saturday. I was possibly even warning myself to shut up and settle down when I felt a hand grasp my arm. And I grabbed it. No...

Since I was a young child I have had a recurring dream, well more of a recurring theme dream. I'm hiding from an alien invasion. The sky is always full of classically shaped flying saucer type craft but the location will vary. I might be hiding behind a hedge, in a forest or abandoned building...

There are two incidents ,one concerning my mother and the other , myself, where it appears that some sort of intervention from the spirit world saved us from dire consequences . The first incident I'll relate , occurred around 4 years ago . As I mentioned in a previous post, my elderly mother...

Just saw this on reddit , thought it was interesting and the picture does most of the heavy lifting!

I've been studying Jung and have come to the module about dreams. I have always had very vivid detailed dreams and often wake up with my heart hammering in my chest. I'm hoping mine are not premonitions because so far in the last couple of months I've been chased and had a gun pressed to my head...

At Chinese funerals, sometimes a pair of puppets was buried with the dead, and this story is about this. I am not sure whether you have an impression of this or not. But for readers of "Dragon Ball", it is not strange because Chiaotsu takes his shape from the male puppet. Another photo below is...

This kind of thing has happened to me on a few occasions and it has me wondering. It is best described as you are in some dream state but your normal conscious self is aware of it and communicates with you. Here is the latest example. I was walking through a kind of derelict industrial area...

I know I started a thread a couple of years ago about the sheer number of people who, if you google it, say their lottery win was foretold in a dream or by a psychic. But I can't find it. I'm pretty sure I've had dreams suggestive of me having such a win myself ...and in the end I did nothing...

Since posting here I've started to recall a few odd experiences over the years. About 15 years ago I was single, bringing up my son and working full time. Life was a bit of a drudge and I was quite lonely really. One night I had a really vivid dream. I was dressed in medieval clothing and...

Last night before bed I watched an episode of The World at War. At some point in the night I dreamt of being back in Mansfield, it was night(early hours of the morning?) and I was for some reason part of a group training to become a member of the Hitler Youth!!?!?!? I found myself sat...

In the early morning of 15 May, I had a very vivid dream. The first thing I said to my husband was 'Eric Burdon is dead'. The dream was very vivid so I raced downstairs and booted up the computer. Eric Burdon was fine, but BB King had died. As my husband said, 'Well, you got the genre right'...

I read the two threads last night on "reading in dreams" and "where do you live in dreams" and found them both fascinating. With the permission of the mods, i'd like to kick off a third related thread, on the significance or otherwise of speech and conversation in dreams. My dreaming life is...

Have you ever dreamed a word in your dreams, either in print or said by a dream character, that you never heard before? Then you discover that it's a real word? I had that happen this week. In the dream, the word "kilke" was written on a newspaper that somebody was reading. I wrote down the...

Most of the odd things that occur to me generally fall into the category of "psychic" daydreams and multi-layered coincidences. Seemingly precognitive dreams make an occassional appearance, but lately dreams have been to the fore, in my thoughts, (failed) experiments and conversations, with a...

Hi guys, I was camping alone some years ago near Spalding (England) and had a dream in which i was out of the tent and following a monk-like figure across the field to a clump of trees containing some sort of craft, and there the dream ended. Next morning I woke up back in the tent and noticed...

This story is in response to my previous strange occurrence within my Grandparents house. From a very early age I would very regularly stay at my Grandparents house while both of my parents were running a business at the time. So sometimes I would either spend all afternoon there or arrive in...

Hi, I actually bought a Mind machine and the accompanying Galvanic Skin Response machine to help induce OBE's and lucid dreaming. The actual models are here http://www.electronichealing.co.uk/products/proteus.htm http://www.electronichealing.co.uk/products/thoughtstream.htm After...

I was living with my ex girlfriend. We were very close and happy etc. One night I dreamt that I was in an airport with my girlfriend at the time, her family were there, we were saying goodbye to someone and it was all a bit tearful. The odd thing about the dream was that I wasn't with my...

Night Terrors Anyone want to discuss or offer an explanation of the phenom known as "Night Terrors"? That feeling that something is terribly wrong and you need to wake up right now , but your body feels like its trapped in molasses? My sisters get these all the time, one sister says she has...
