:laughing::laughing:how's that for synchronicity @AstralFlame? :laughing:
Glad you like the idea, and I can't remember what I dreamt about this night either, but that won't stop me from writing^^Ooh my goodness, I am really loving this idea, thank you for the thread!! :blushed:
Although I feel rather awfully;; I dream a ton and wish to always share them with someone, but now that the time has come where I can, I can't recall having dreamt of anything last night! I will definitely have to keep this in mind though, and hopefully I will have wonderful new dreams to share in the nearby future~
Uwahh I'm awfully sorry about your nightmare! I wonder why it's a lion in particular that is chasing you?? And your paranoia is very curious and quite a bit alarming to hear, I'm starting to worry if these sorts of feelings surface a lot in your day-to-day life, I certainly hope not!! ; - ; You say this is reoccurring, do the feelings and themes show up in different dreams as well? And have you ever thought about learning how to lucid dream in order to break yourself away from this pattern??
(As my boyfriend had night terrors that replayed themselves over and over every night, and said that learning to become conscious about his dreams in his sleep helped him to get rid of them, if that may be of any interest to you!) *hugs*
i was afraid it would be hard for us to just describe dreams without getting carried away into parallel realities, personal interpretations, many lucid experiences and it will end up again on sleep paralysis experiences! @Distry tbh that's what i thought about that lion that was after you... but you didn't get scared! you rocked it!Finally, Lucid dreaming is amazeballs :crazy:
Yes, and it mostly works - it has only failed me once or twice : D. I just forcefully shut my eyes in the dream, hold them closed for a few seconds and open them up while thinking about opening my eyes when I wake up. I suppose that manually drives my brain out of deep sleep.Also, can you guys force-wake-up from a dream? If so, how? Just wondering.
I was wondering if you could link me to the thread you mentioned? Thanks!but... although i still have that tea, i don't try playing with other realities anymore
the abyss is looking back when you look into it and funny things keep happening
We've discussed this in another thread.
You need to be a little "equipped" with knowledge before you start venturing.
I can totally relate to you. Whenever I tell my friends about one of my dreams, they think I am losing my mind. Some of my dreams make me so emotional I start crying, then they really think I'm sick in the head. A lot of my dreams are hard to explain situations also, like recreating the sun out of yellow play dough, but not being fast enough so the entire world dies. Yup, just part of being an INFP. lol. Good luck! You should be proud of your differences! If people don't have dreams every night they're missing out!Ohh sign me up, I also love this idea! I've been told by multiple people that I should write down my dreams but I never seem to get down to doing that. Hopefully this thread will help me in that aspect.
The thing is, I dream e v e r y n i g h t, and it's honestly mostly utter bullsh*t - that is, I dream about the most inexplicable situations and notions, so most people go into "wtf is wrong with you" mode when I tell them my dreams. Not that they're conventionally disturbing (gory etc.) or anything like that, they just... really don't make sense and it's hilarious.
However, all I remember about my last dream isn't very interesting and the dream itself was somewhat unpleasant, so no point in telling it. But I do remember dreaming stuff like:
1. Different people approaching me about this girl they met that is apparently "my doppelganger" personality-wise, my long lost twin, we are so much like each other, we should totally meet, oh how we will fit each other... Apparently we were similar because we both liked two things: cheese and dragons. That's it. That's how my subconscious categorizes me.
2. Dreaming about my entirely straight boyfriend casually sleeping with my male best friend. (that wasn't even a sexual dream for me, it just kind of happened amongst other things and it was so confusing)
Yes, and it mostly works - it has only failed me once or twice : D. I just forcefully shut my eyes in the dream, hold them closed for a few seconds and open them up while thinking about opening my eyes when I wake up. I suppose that manually drives my brain out of deep sleep.
Also, I get the feeling a lot of INFPs would be into lucid dreams and would have experienced them at least once, intentionally or not. If any of you have tried the lucid 'training' and whatnot, how is it working out?
That was beautiful. Thank you.And I thought I might elaborate on one of my dreams. I'm in some kind of alternate place; an earth-like fictional planet that doesn't exist. It's thickly forested with dirt roads, remote cabins, possibly little towns (I didn't get to see them but I felt like they were there), and few inhabitants. The people are pretty much as mentally advanced as we are, but they don't have electronics or anything like that. There was this ethereal dark figure who was moving along the main road (which somehow crossed the whole planet or something, my subconscious didn't really think that through).
If anyone has ever read the Fablehaven series, this figure was kind of like a Revenant. It radiated fear to the point where anyone who got close would black out. It also killed everything it passed: plants, animals, and people alike. However, it was a mindless creature, in fact it wasn't even a creature. It didn't kill because it wanted to, just because that was what it did. It just kept moving along the road. Of course, the people were freaking out and I was trying to help, along with a couple others. We kept running around looking for ways to kill it, and then testing some out. I got too close at one point and almost blacked out. Eventually they gave up, and went back to their families to enjoy the time they had left.
I went back to the figure. I walked up to it, and I couldn't feel the fear. I had no emotion really, but my vision looked like really bad TV reception and got worse the closer I got. Somehow- I don't know how- I managed to stay conscious until I reached it. And then I killed it- or perhaps a better way to put it is that it died, because it wasn't in a dramatic, angry, or passionate way. I touched it, and it began to fade. I fell, my vision finally went out, and I was dead before I hit the ground. My life didn't flash before my eyes. My last thought, my last emotion, was an empty kind of satisfaction and love for humanity. I think I woke up, but my heart rate wasn't faster than usual or anything.
Yeah it's quite a mess, I know. I usually have dreams like this where a lot of things are patched up with not much sense.
- I am not sure if this dream was displayed in first or third person, but I do not know the name of the protagonist.
- The story follows a family that has 2 young boys and a father, while the father was away the 2 boys engaged in some argument and started a mind power fight where they will both stand there and throw their own will power against each other. The representation may come with different shape such as the fire.
- The protagonist lost the fight, but they are both injured during the process.
- I THINK the protagonist is the younger brother of the two, I will refer him as one now.
- When the father returned he saw the older brother was injured and the younger one had gone into hiding but left 2 messages, one of them being “ask bro instead”.
- Which he did and the older boy refused to answer while laying on his bed.
- Hence he opened up another message which the younger brother asked him to go to the photo room where they store all the family photo, drawing etc into one place and presumably locked it, but leaving a peephole on in case you wish to have a look inside.
- Once he is there, he was instructed to look inside, find the teddy bear who holds a mirror and then look into the mirror for details. The image show on the mirror is the reflection of the items put on the same side as the door, which is not see-able from the peephole.
- Since the image is too small the father went back and got himself a camera to make things easier, he browse through the photos he could see, which includes a family photo with a woman so I guess that was his wife. Then he stumbled upon a drawing which the young brother drew before, it was a family portrait that included everyone however it showed himself holding either a stone block or a book with words written on it.
- I forgot the details, as I do most dreams but it suggested that since the very beginning the younger brother was actually 2 people.
- The chill sent down the father’s spine, then suddenly “father”, someone called him while his eyes are still looking through the peephole. He instantly turned around, dropping the camera but managed to catch it in the process. There stood the young brother, watching him.
- The young brother explained, he was actually 2 people, in the morning he would be a girl of unknown origin and at night he would revert into the boy as he was. He was not sure if the girl was simply a part or a mirror of himself, or is she someone else that was forcibly put into him, either way he wasn’t concerned with that since she was pretty genuine so he accepted him.
- What the boy was afraid of, was other people finding it, especially the father. He was afraid the father would look at him in disgust once he found out. But he knew that he had to reveal it sooner or later, so he used this opportunity to. The one who fought with the older brother was not the younger brother, but the girl instead and due to the lack of control over the body she lost.
- There is this memory piece which is a portion of a dream but I do not know where it belongs, so I will simply put it here. The older brother one day showed the younger one that his has various limbs, eyes and whatnot on his body and it looks terrifying as them growing out of his cloth. But it turns out it was a specially designed cloth used to scare people with. He groped the younger brother’s body then head to the cousin’s room where he simply told the boy “cut it, we are heading out for dinner”.
- Onto the next scene, here I am not sure if this is a continuation on the previous story that goes to point 13.
- The body of the younger brother started to mutate, he grew in muscle mass, bleeding heavily in the process, and his head transformed into a lilies or orchidaceae (flower) like growth, confused and terrified he went to check on his father who he found was suffering the same fate, same with his brother.
- It may be an after effect from their mind fight earlier but it doesn’t matter, the younger brother sensed the killing intent from his brother clearly while being shocked and unable to move after seeing his now enlarged disfigured mass of flesh that is his brother.
- As soon as it started to move, the younger brother broke out of the house door in only underwears, figuring how to turn the head back in the process, and run down the stairs of the apartment, but stopped to look out of the windows that the stair areas have.
- He saw a giant emerge from their house were and jumped down onto the street screaming in rage.
- Some time has passed, there seemed to have a war going on now, a few fighters arrived where the young brother were and chatted for a while, after hearing their conversation the younger brother decided to show himself since he was around their hiding and asked for help.
- At night, the younger brother hides around the corner of an abandoned building’s first floor, near the window, while the enemy force passed through.
- While most troops marched the ground some were walking 1 floor higher to cover more grounds, one walked into the place and spotted the guy hiding in the corner, but before he could react his throat was crushed by his fist.
- Several others witnessed the act and surrounded the young brother, which he dispatched swiftly one by one, targeting specifically for the head and the neck and jump onto the ground level where he transform, enlarge himself into a giant and charged forward down the road.
- During this period it seems his intelligence level had decreased as he mistook a stand-up machine for his brother and smashed it, while his real brother was nearby, still in his giant self, and came for the challenge.
- After destroying the machine with his remaining ability to think, the young brother figured out a way to evolve and became even larger than he was before.
- He clashed against his brother, but his brother was no match to his younger sibling’s new form, he was grabbed by the arm and mercilessly bashed against a nearby stone pillar, again and again, until he could move no more.
- Then during his frenzy the younger brother tore out his brother’s organs and tied him onto the pillar itself, one life was already disappeared by now.
- In his fading personality and intelligence, the younger brother reminisced for a while, while screaming in sorrow and tears. But ironically for those who had saw the whole event they all burst out in laughter.
