Thread: stupid question

I know I went to bed in my dreams, but as for sleeping. I don't recall.
Would be kind of recursive, wouldn't it?

I did sleep in the dreams that lasted for a longer amount of time..but it was not really sleep..it was diffirent. It where more like long periods of the void seeing weird images sometimes and then to have a false awakening knowing it is a FA to be back into the previous dream. But I didnt like just peacefully go to sleep, get up eat breakfast..that kinda stuff, that seems a little unlikely to me X_X

But most of my long period dreams where rather disturbing/fearful and didnt really go to sleep much, they are really confusing and its just crazy driving. Long periods are confusing anyway.

The dangerous thing is that you after a long period of time you more or less forget you are actually dreaming, and start thinking it is the only reality and in a sense lose lucidity..but are still lucid..well it doesnt make sense but you know what I mean. You just lose your grip on it.
And you wake up with an incredibly weird feeling, usually it sucks, then I am glad when it are disturbing periods of time.

thanks for the replies. as I said before, I don't recall anyone mentioning anything like that...anyway, I need to know for my story I'm writing.

Is this a new story? Or the one you were talking about writing a month or so ago?

Cool, you puttin all of the things we say in it? ^_^

hmm...just a story I've had in my head for a long time now, still working on it. I've written a couple prose based on the story...to help mostly.

i dont see why this is a stupid question, its actually makes alot of sense!

I may be a little slow, but for some reoson I cannot actually understand your question. Do you mean waking up in a dream & are you talking about a long regular dream or a lucid dream?
No qeustions a dumb question.
I'm not sure if you have seen it. Shawdow nightwing wrote a post about OBE's in the beyond dreaming Forum. I think in some form Lucid dreams & OBE's are connected as far as some type of hypnosis. Anyway, that really skrews with your head about time and its relations with things.

Hmmm, in my png period dream, I would close my eyes, then open them, and the night would have passed, it was instantanious

Stupid double post

you're right. there's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people.

alow me to elaborate on my question...

ok in my story, there is a girl. she is a MASTER at lucid dreaming, she can have them at will and/or stay in them for long periods of time (or so it feels like, aye). my question is...would she be able to fall asleep WHILE in the dream, then wake up still in that same dream?

I don't see how. I mean, I do know you can fall back into the same dreams, like after you wake up. However, they are always changed, and usually seem forced. I don't see how you could go to sleep in a dream, actually spend time sleeping, and return to the same dream. I think "sleeping" in a dream would be one of those black periods between dreams that you always know SOMETHING was happening, but you don't know what.

hm...I was going to have her fall asleep in the dream, wake up still in the dream, and wonder how the hell that happened. I say why not, considering that anything is possible.

I think just about anything is possible 'over there'

And in this moment I am happy…[/b]

In the stable ones that I could not wake up from, ive actually dreamed within the dream. But the dreams inside the dream were nonesensical, whereas most of mine are usualy more structured.

I've slept in dreams before, and when I woke up I was still in the dream world. I think I wrote about it in Lucid Experiences somewhere. One of the LONG posts.

whenever i fall asleep in a dream, i instantly wake back up in that dream, only i know that time has passed, and that im still in the dream...so kinda like when you fall asleep in real life when you dont remember your dreams

I can get really tired in a dream and fall asleep, but I can see what's going on around me when I'm asleep.
This is totally off the subject, but has anyone here slept-walked and is there a connection between that and lucid dreaming. I slept-walked when I was a child, though not anymore, and I have had lucid dreams for as long as I can remember. I guess I should ask this somewhere else.

Welcome to the forum Pauline!

I think there has been a Thread over sleepwalking and everyone elses personal experiences.

As someone said, there is a natural chemical that is transmitted during sleep that prevents us from 'acting' out our dreams, bascally this chemical paralyzes us to an extent, and i think that sleepwalking could be an absence of this chemical in some strange way.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I would think that the dream realm is a little unstable for that to happen. But not to be contradicting - I think it could happen. Most everyone in this forum has done things in their dreams that they, at first thought to be impossible, I no I certainly have. And if this lucid expert believes she can, then that is problably all that is necissary Believe it & you can dream it.
Convincing your mind is th challenging part.

Its possible...^_^
