What do you mean somehow? :sneaky:

i never know how i got it, someone just tells me that i have aids. most of the time it is a doctor, sometimes it is a friend or family member. and once or twice it was chuck norris.

OK, thats either a fastastic coincidence or my brain is telling me something.
For the first time in a long time I had a dream.


For some strange reason I was in line to get an autograph from Julie Strain, which is weird cuz I dont even like Julie Strain (maybe my subconscious does). Anywho, spent the whole dream waiting in a boring ass line, talking to hot babes but for some reason I dont care, almost get to her desk, some fat nerd with surprising strength push me out.
I wake up.

brianmanahan has power over your dreams! :awe:

Flying... I get LOTS of flying dreams. A lot of the times when I fly is when I'm in a world of shit... and I get to activate NOPE.AVI where I can just bone the fuck out. I'll just launch away like superman and soar high into the air. The view below becomes breathtaking, and it's such a liberating feeling.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I sometimes have dreams trying to climb something impossibly steep. It's usually trying to go up an incredibly steep hill where I'm on the verge of losing traction. The most recent one, I'm riding a horse on a muddy slope and I'm sliding most of the time. To keep myself from sliding, there are thorn covered branches that I can grab onto, and I'm trying my hardest to grab parts without thorns.

Lastly, I get recurring dreams that I have to piss soo bad. When I finally do find a bathroom, it's the shittiest bathroom ever - and for some reason, I always have to be wearing sandals. There's piss and shit all over the place, and I finally come across this shit encrusted urinal, and I'll go. But I keep going and going and going until my pee fills the bowl and spill over all over my bare toes. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Lol yeah I've had both he flying and pissing dreams too it's always in some bullshit area where my feet are bare and I keep worrying about stepping in piss near the toilet bowl because people are slobs.

As a kid I used to have vivid reoccuring nightmares about my house burning down and being unable to wake my parents to get the out. I can still remember one very vividly. My dad was sleeping in front of his computer, there was an inferno all around, I'd kept pleading with him to wake up and leave but he wouldn't. Gives me the willies to this day. I don't know what triggered it as I've never been in a fire. Nor have I ever been afraid of fire.

Another one used to have happened after this girl I'd been dating for a long time left. Not mutual. The dream was I'd be in a public place looking for her. I'd see her but could never catch up.

I've also had the highschool dream. Seems like a pretty common one. I'd have to go back to complete some class. Last time I had it was less than a year ago despite me being out of high school for almost a decade.

Steve Volk, a city reporter in Philadelphia who--for decades--was plagued by a recurring nightmare. It popped up whenever Steve was going through a stressful time, and it always played out exactly the same way. But no matter how self-aware Steve was about his most current set of anxieties, and no matter how hard he tried to rationalize and explain away the dream...he couldn't make it stop. Then one year, Steve started working on a book about topics at the edge of science, and along the way he stumbled into lucid dreaming. Pretty soon, Steve was reading through old sleep studies conducted by a scientist named Stephen LaBerge, and he was starting to wonder if lucid dreaming might not be so fringe-y after all. So he called up LaBerge's assistant and began training himself on a set of techniques that would eventually help him put his inner demon to bed.

Yes.

A long time ago [in my teens] - I had a dream about entering an underground cavern and stumbled on what looked like some hideous creatures that looked a lot like the orcs from LOTRO movies. One of them turns around and tells me to get the hell out of here [which at that point I wake up]. A few years after that dream, I found myself sneaking back into the same place and was once again confronted by the same creature who said If you return again - you will die [which at that point I wake up]. It's been quite a few years, but haven't had that dream again [but would like to go back down and confront the creature]

Lately - I've been having dreams of forgetting where I put my hockey bag prior to a tournament game which is in another city or ending up being stranded in a city which I know very well at the start of the dream but soon forget where everything is. When I start to panic - that's when I wake up.
