Have you experienced a lucid dream?
Josh P22-Aug-21
A lucid dream is a dream in which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. The numbers vary, but between 51% to 82% of people report experiencing a lucid dream at least once.

    yes, quiet often. I talk in my sleep and have caught myself being aware I'm still dreaming but talking aloud to finish off the conversation before completely waking up. I then have a vivid recall of the dream because of that. Quiet amusing

      Yes I have and it was a bit daunting as I was being chased by something horrific and to stop the chase I had to escape by waking up from the panic by telling myself it,s just a bad dream.

                    I have lots of dreams..in quite alot of them somehow i know even in the dream that it is a dream- hard to explain. Didn't know of the term lucid dream so that is interesting. I really do wish my dreams were the reality tho as often they are much better than the real thing.

                      At times. Sometimes I dream and have to work out the meaning?

                        Do you think that a lucid (bright like reality) dream is a side effect of the brain work while asleep trying to solve a problem and come to a correct decision?

                        I think that our brains work even when we sleep. That often minutiae registers at a subliminal level and problem solving goes on while we sleep. Often the answers are literal. I.e. toilet dreams mean we are dealing with shit. Either our own or someone else’s?

                        To me a toilet dream signifies "Wake up and go to the toilet before it is too late."

                                              Yes,, often, I am aware I am dreaming but at the same time I wake up and my dream has been so realistic and attached to my life as it is that when I wake up I sometimes have to ask myself "Was I dreaming or was this real?" A bit confusing some times and at other times when I realise I was just dreaming I am very, very grateful!

                                                I don't remember many of my dreams. I have had bad ones were I am burning and I put them done to seeing some thing on fire when I was younger. Falling dreams where you wake with a fright I don't like them.

                                                              yes often. I used to have a recurring dream about driving along a narrow twisty road (where we did end up living for a while) and I would lose control of the car and end up over the bank, these went on for about 2 years then one morning on my way to work I ended with the car hanging over a steep bank, had tried fighting it to keep it on the Road, the car behind me stopped and helped get me out of the car, when the cops arrived they slid on the black ice and just missed shunting my car right over, they then closed the Road as it was too dangerous to drive on!, I said I wish you had done that half an hour ago. After that I never had the dream again

This includes a Dream many years ago about turning 35 while I was under 35. That night I was wondering what it must be like to turn 35. In this Dream there are many Baseball bats all standing upright on the ground. I select one of the bats and nudge this onto the bat next to it. This creates a domino effect and all the bats fall into place. I then fly off towards the sky as though I can simply fly at will. It's at point I knew this was in fact a Dream! ;-) For numerologists out there. The word Dream can be represented using the five numbers : 4, 18, 5, 1, and 13 (positions of the letters in the alphabet). Symbolically you can add together these numbers and consider what each sum means to your life. e.g 4 is good shot in Cricket, 4+18 = 22 can represent Titanium (22 electrons) : strong like Steel but less dense, 4+18+5 = 27 is the days Moon takes to orbit Earth, 4+18+5+1=28 is the days in February, and finally the total sum 4+18+5+1+13 = 41 which means very rare hot Summer's day in Sydney!

I also often have reoccurring similar dreams warning me of things to come in my own personal life and in the world and these reoccurring dreams suddenly stop once the event takes place, meaning these dreams are prewarning me of events that will occur in the world or within my own life..... Many of these dreams scare me and make me suddenly wake up in a sweat. Some of these dreams are very clear about what is taking place and some are like a puzzle which is gradually revealed to me overtime to gradually allow me to get used to what is being revealed because if all was revealed in just one dream it is too horrific for anyone to comprehend

I woke up after it really scared....then realised I'd been asleep and was immensely relieved! Believe it or not I'd dreamt that the oceans were rising, parts of the planet were burning and people the world over were dying from a terrible plague.... Phew! It was only a dream, right? Too many SciFi movies! Then, I checked my PC....

There are numerous big things which the world leaders need to do to save our planet and ALL of those things MUST be completed by 2039 otherwise the damage to our planet will be too severe to fix. This gives them just under 18 years to start and complete saving our planet
