The Science of Sleep


Charlotte

Recommended Posts

Just watching Film 2007 and Michael Gondry's 'The Science of Sleep' is on there.

 

Looks like I'm going to like it See here

 

I find the whole entering other people's dream worlds amazing, obviously totally unreal but still.

 

Anyway, I was just wondering how often people dream, and about what?

 

Does anyone have any reoccurring dreams?

I once had a nightmare that sort of came true.

I dreamt that Dad took me and my brother and sisters to Wales for a holiday. Mum didnt come. We were going over the Severn Bridge and the wind blew the car off the road and we crashed into the side rails. The car doors flew open and us four kids were flung out and over the edge. We were hanging on by our fingertips and screaming for Dad to help...he leaned over the edge and smiled at us, then said goodbye and got back in the car. As he drove off, the rails broke and we fell and I woke up with a shock.

A few days later, Mum told us that they were getting divorced, and that Dad was going to move to Wales. I am sure thats what the dream actually meant.

 

Oh, and once I went to bed about 12 midnight, shut my eyes and opened them to find it was 7 am. It was if I'd blinked and the night was over. Best nights sleep I'd ever had I think.

I have lucid dreams sometimes.

 

In my opinion, lucid dreaming is one of the most amazing things that you can experience. I have had about a dozen in my lifetime. Unfortunately, training yourself to deliberately have lucid dreams is crazy difficult - a lifetime's obsession for some people.

I'm just pleased to have at least mastered some skills for identifying and prolonging the lucidity. I just don't have the time and patience to commit to working at it like it did when I was a student. :(

LOL - ack - don't get me started on the differentiation of reality and the dream state - that's a whole other existential argument! :innocent:

 

Anyhow - I've done my reality checks and - rather unfortunately - looks like you lot ARE part of my real world. A waking nightmare, maybe?? ;) :p

I have a lot of dreams about being back in college or uni where I am about to miss the deadline for handing in homework.

 

A lot of dream on crashing the supra too, and I thank god when I open my eyes and I am still in bed.

 

I have a ability to chase a dream, for example if I am in a dream that I like and I woke up I can tell myself to fall asleep again and carry on where it stopped. Freaky.....

I have done that before...

 

Also, when in a scary dream, sometimes i have suddenly realised its only a dream, and been able to laugh at the scariness or whatevr it is...

Argh - this one is all too common! Every time when I wake up afterwards, it takes a couple of minutes for my brain to realise that I've finished with all that hard deadline stuff! The relief is unbelievable! :rolleyes:

When I was younger I had a dream that I used to get most nights, I'd be walking at the bottom of my Mum & Dads road (Where I was living at the time), and I'd try to cross the road, but to my right, I'd hear a siren, so I'd look over, and see a VW Camper van, dressed as an ambulance, tearing towards me...

 

No matter which way I ran, I'd always get hit by it, and it was the type of dream that once I got hit, I'd start back off in the place I'd started, and I had to 'play it again'...

 

I haven't had it for a few years now, and I've never managed to avoid being hit... I guess I've done something in my life that's stopped me from having that dream, but I've got no funking idea wtf it was on about...

I had a nice dream this morning. (the third time but sometimes with people sometimes on my own) I was running around an area i used to live with a couple of old school friends i was laughing hysterically while i was running along, it was a nice feeling being able run so freely. Maybe thats my happy place :D

 

I think i miss my running days far too much :(

Who subscribes to the "If you hit the floor in a dream you'll really die" theory then?

 

I have a reoccurring dream about being in my grandma's kitchen on a stool and falling off, only to wake just before I hit the floor.

 

I wonder what that is, your brain shutting down or something?
