Need to get in touch with "drs" - Sleep Disorders Message Board

Uptight · 06-30-2002, 11:46 AM

I've read your responses to the sleep occurances, and I've shared very similar experiences. I would really like to maybe talk with you about this stuff, I have many questions. I've been experimenting with all this stuff frequently, and have been leaning how to control my dreams. I want to know your opinion of the world you are in when you talk to people who are alive and have passed, also when you flying around or doing what ever you want ... is this just your imagination or something far greater. Please respond.

Thanks!

Well, one very unusual dream I had was early in the morn. when it occured. It was the electrical cloudiness around me and through me. I knew at that moment that it was going to be a strange dream, and had anticipated the sucking, popping,rushing, sound prior to it happening. That's when I encountered my Dad who has been deceased since 1977. And he had a whole diff. family.

Another strange one was when a semi truck ran into the vehicle that I was driving. It went right though me, at that moment I realized I had died, and started to float up in the stars. Then I got upset, because my daughter was too young for me to leave...thats when I woke up.

But I think what you are talking about is the reacurring dreams of being awake but unable to move. That's the time I've had the most control. It takes some getting used to. I always seem to hear someone in the house talking, or someone coming in the front door, and I can't wake up. That's the time I know I'm having that kind of dream state.

I have to remember that if there was really someone making noise it would wake me up.

And if I truly want to wake up, I wiggle my toes. The test I do is raise my arm then crack open my eye to see that I didn't raise my arm at all, it just felt like I did.

If I want to get up while sleeping, I need to keep my eyes closed. Sometimes it's a very long proccess for me to get out of bed in this dream state, but once I do, I ususally opt for flying, that's my favorite thing to do while dreaming.
Strangly enough I have many dreams of swimming, I don't swim in real life. And I can talk under the water and breath during the dream.

You wanted my opinion of the world around me when this controled dreaming occurs? It's very real.

Like the one with my dad.(not a controlled dream, but I knew I was dreaming) And the one dieing.

When I control the flying ones it's all very clear and not fuzzy at all. Like I can see all the details of the tips of the trees and can see the ground things clear too.
I have control with my imagination on the dreams that I know I'm awake but dreaming and got out of bed. (the ones that are hard to wake up from.) The other ones that come on by them selves, like the one with the electricity, and the truck going though me. I know I'm dreaming but I want to see where the dream takes me.

I also have lots of dreams in which I don't realize I'm dreaming. If I don't write them down when I wake up, I forget them almost right away, unless there disturbing.

Just wanted to say since you are new here. You can't use any e-mail addresses whether it's yours or another web sites without the consent of the moderators, or they'll ban you from this site. So be careful. drs

DRS,

Thank you for replying so promptly!! I want to explain to you what happens to me during this stuff. It is usually in the afternoon when I take a nap. I will lay on my back and close my eyes. After about ten minutes I will start to think those strange thoughts that seem to make perfect sense to you when you are dreaming. I know full well I am starting into my dream. My ears will pop and my body will start to go numb. Sometimes I get a tremendous feeling of electricity through my teeth, and sometimes it seems to hurt. Then a lot of times I see a floating ball of white or blue light in the distance that seems to rush at me and engulf me. Sometimes I get scared and wake myself up, but frequently I've been letting it go farther. From there I usually fly over vast oceans, sometimes beaches and mountains, all very beautiful stuff. I can feel the wind in my face as though it is very real. Everything I touch and step on and hear is like it is reality. I've been trying to find people in these places but haven't yet figured out how to do so. But the strange part is sometimes I open my eyes, and am paralyzed, but am half dreaming so I halucinate sometimes. It was funny when you said the thing about moving your arm to see if it really moves. This is so weird cause you are expecting it to move and it doesn't ... sometimes I'll even see trails of where my arm is supposed to move. The thing that concerns me is this feeling of floating out of my body. This is the feeling that comes over me when I am falling asleep. Sometimes I feel as though I'm gonna come out of my body and not be able to get back. Also, sometimes my head hurts real bad, or seems to, when I am in and out of the dream world. Is this just my imagination, or could I have a brain anurism or something like that?? What is your opinion of my occurances? Have I tapped another world, is there anything to worry about? Should I explore further? Thanks for your suggestions!

Does your head still hurt when you wake up fully? Are you still on line right now? It's only been afew min. since your post.

Also I've read some things about this type of dreaming, it does have something to do with sleeping during the day or waking at night then falling back to sleep. Do you notice that it happens more often when you nap during the day. What I read said it's better to empty the bladder before sleeping and to have a mostly empty stomach not full. Have you read any thing about this? How old are you by the way? Diana

hello,
I would like to know, can you do this on command? Can you go to sleep wanting to go into this state and do it? I would like to be able to, but I can's seem to control it. I don't often even remember my dreams, any advise as to how to remeber dreams or to get into a sleep paralysis? Im very intrested in this!
Thanks!
