I have recurring dreams often. Most of the time, I remember them. Often, if I wake up in the middle of a dream, I can go to the bathroom, get a drink of water, go back to bed and "will" myself back into the same dream if it is one I want to return to. With some, I tell myself "bad. I don't like this. It's a dream. WAKE UP" and I do. Some of them are things that have not happened yet, but do within a day or two. My favorite dreams are the flying ones. Nice strong wind, run, jump and off I go! Bad ones are me falling. Once I dreamed I was in space, falling to earth and I was so scared but then I told myself in the dream "don't worry. God will catch me" and I just float down. I loathe the ones that I am crying and I wake up crying. What about you?
Uncle Ferd has `em alla time... ... `specially after eatin' some o'... ... Granny's special brownies. Try some melatonin... ... 1-2mg. to start.
I did the 10. REALLY bad dreams, lol. Then poof..didn't work at all. Sometimes I take a benedryl. I stopped the melatonin for a week, then went back to 5. Now I take 1 & 1/2 pills..which equals 7.5 mgs. Once that stops working, I will not take it, wait another week, start in again. Your brain and body needs breaks I guess. Sleepytime Tea helps too. I didn't think it would. My best dreams are cat naps during the day. Those are not dark or scarey.
How can God catch you - heaven is further up than space, and that's where he oops, I mean He spends most of his time? Oops again, I mean His.
I don't pick apart my dreams. If you want to make this thread about religion and NOT the content of subconscious dreams, please start your own.
Most times I know I'm dreaming and have fun with them. Like if I'm driving a car I'll put the petal to the metal and drive straight into brick walls or over cliffs. When my favorite aunt shows up in my dreams I always demand to know why she popped in and then I remind her that she is dead. One nightmare I have is getting stuck in a crawl space and I can't back out. And I just woke up about an hour ago, an ex girlfriend was running around town screaming that I've got one of her heavy metal tapes in my car. She just got to the old hotel bar, screaming like I've never heard screaming before and I'm between the houses across the street looking for my Firebird, I lost it somewhere and I need to get out of Dodge!
I dreamed that I dyed my beard brown. It looked fake and I was embarrassed and considering shaving it until I woke up. The gray beard is still here.
Last night I had facts and questions... I was with a person who I knew back in primary school and bumped into from time to time in college as our paths crossed but we shared a neighbourhood and didn't see each other for years, it was me and this person, two young men in business suits in London, because I distinctly remember seeing Westminster/Houses of Parliament, across the river so I had a location, before that. I arrived with this school chum now a man and we taking me to a meet another older man in a suit in his office which was in central London by the Train Station we arrived at; he was a man of power, almost behind a smoke screen puppet master and my friend introduced us as we sat across from him sitting at his desk in some cosy luxurious office, and I asked him, this man my friend took me to meet in London; "Do you mean murder?" and he looked at me and calmly said in a British way; "What do you think?" Then we walked out/took a ride, I saw the river, the clock tower / Elizabeth Tower that's what it's called but no one calls it that here/'you know the one I saw' - I saw that, at night, and then... I asked something like... "Is this an oligopoly?" to which I was told; "It's like an oligopoly." (with an ethesis on the world 'like'). Then I took the train back, remember he and my friend were a head of me in West Croydon coming out of the station and I tripped and fell on the steps and lost them. - I woke up thinking 'Sir Richard Branson's going to get it' (going to get bumped off soon) - random. Then as I was waking up further... I was thinking... 'Wow, oligopoly made it into my dream?!.' 'weird' ... and I was awake.
You introduce a religious aspect into the topic, I comment on it with an apposite but (I thought) humorous observation, you round on me for doing so, but I'm 'rude'? How the **** does that work.
