Ok, this is a little weird but I have VERY, VERY clear dreams. And I mean very! Most of my dreams are extremely detailed but not always realistic. But I always have at least one dream when I wake in the morning although usually I cannot concentrate on them because I have to get up for school (6.30!!!) but in my clearest and happiest dreams, I am usually able to conciously either repeat them or continue them the next night. I've asked my friends and they all think I'm a freak (although that might not have to do with the dreams [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>) Can anyone else do this?
That's what this thread is about Honey! It's wierd isn't you! I get up at 6 am for school cause in grade ten at my school you start just a bit bit earlier than grade 8's and 9's but not as earlier as senior. Anyway, i dream like that, and make the dreams and control the dreams, so you're not a freak my friend lol
Why don't you try to concentrate once. Obviously you have to go to school, but on a weekend you should try it.

Yeah, on weekends I definately always do....unless my dog is whining which he does way too often for my taste [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif" alt=":P" border="0"/>
lol stay in your bedroom and just comventrate on silence. it may semm wierd to do that but it works
Yeah, it aint weird. The clearest dreams are the coolest and most fun, and if they're clear it means you're consciously aware of them, which is all you need to control them.
I find it that most of those dreams are good dreams, and its only when you're in a particularly fowl mood does it turn macabre.
Well you can't complain then hey?
lol yes i can - im allways in a fowl mood lol
You know those dreams you have when you are half awake, or fully away when your mother tells you to get out of bed?
The dreams where you controll everything that happens and what people say?
Is that still classified as a dream or just daydreaming in the morning, like a 'morning dream'?
Id say theyre still dreams, coz sometimes u can only controll bits of them. they say most dreams happen in the few seconds before you wake.
yeah...I only ever remember my morning dreams, the ones I have right before I wake up. I'm hardly ever in control of them though.
I think the morning dreams are still dreams. Kinda like lucid dreaming, where you can control what happens
i dont think iv ever controlled my dreams while i was having them. i remember a friend told me he could before and it seemed strange because i never could and i had never tried or considered doing so.
once i awoke in the morning and i had been in the middle of the dream and i wanted to finish it so i went back to sleep and tried thinking of the dream and focusing on it while i was going back to sleep and then i continued it. a few times, not many, i decided that i wanted to dream about something before i went to bed and then i did.
So it is lucid dreaming then? You're studying Psychology? I have a psycologist and she cant really tell me what's happening. I mean, I can control the dreams, but awful things happen lol. And then whaen I wake I want to do the things I dreamed about in real life.
I know this must seem disturbing, considering I do have a mental problem, but I feel like letting it all out.
When I have morning (or lucid dreams) I can control things, but they allways seem to be dreams about bad things. Is this just based on me personally, or is there some reason behind it?
Yeah, there is a reason behind it all, but let me put in my little explanation first. In sleep, our body shuts down all our physical functions, in order that we don't act out our dreams. This is why it may feel only like a partial dream in the morning, because your body is still waking up, you can't fully move, but you are consciously aware to a degree. It's not that most dreams happen in the few seconds before you wake, it's just that that's when you remember them, because as you are dreaming, the dream is placed into a semi subconscious memory, that if not consciously engaged within ten minutes of the dream, is generally lost to our deepest subconscious realms, unretrievable with hypnosis etc. Whereas if we wake, it is transferred to our conscious where it is remembered. Dreams you can control are called lucid dreams, and they can be quite fun when learnt to control properly. I have fully explained how to do this in another article on this board if you want to take a look Kay, but your problem is that awful things always happen. This is not a mental problem as such, more a conscious problem you are not dealing with correctly, and this can be resolved in this lucid dreaming state by facing the problem, and remembering that you are fully in control of whatever happens. Take a look at the other thread (I forget what it's called - sorry!), it explains it in a bit more detail. Hope that helps.

Thankyou Stephen. Where can I find this article? It's just, what you've said has really inetrested me because what has been happeneing to me is quite macabre.
thank you stephen very much
i shall look at it now
EDIT - that was very helpfull. I guese that explains a lot of things. I lucid dream a lot, but i never really knew why. How come you know all of this lol. Its like i could ask you anything about dreams and you would know what to say.
When you said that lucid dreams

This is one of the many advantages of lucid dreaming. You can go wherever you want in the blink of an eye, do whatever you want without it affecting your real life. [/quote]
This is the problem are that I am facing. My mental dissorder makes me think that what I am dreaming is real, and i personally think it might be real. My mum told me that it might be. People see ghosts, so why cant I see other things that aren't "rational'?
Thankyou for pointing out that article to me

I'm not saying what you dream in dreams isn't real, but by making it lucid, it is your creation, and although you can consciously affect your future, in this case think of it as a realm with which you can explore anything you want, learn new skills, and better your physical self in real life. Although it may feel real, you can test out certain things which you can consciously question in real life to see if you are in the dream. I.e. if you questioned in waking life 'Can I fly?', then tried it, most probably you wouldn't be able to, whereas if you question this in your dream and then try, chances are you might be able to. So in order to do this, question constantly throughout the day, and then you will fall into a habit and automatically do it in your dream.
I know all this cause I was interested myself for many years, so I spent a while looking, learning and experimenting, and once I learn something I don't easily forget it. Hope it works for you. One more tip - think about it heaps through the day and you'll quite likely have it happen to you.

Okidokies. I know what you mean it isnt real, because i know it isnt real, its just my mind that makes me confused. Thats why i asked in the first place [img]http://s3.images.proboards.com/wink.gif" alt=";)" border="0"/> Though you've been very helpfull. I never knew that it could possible benefit towards my life. Perhaps that is what dreams are - things that help us see more clearly in life? I dont know.
Thankyou
