My li'l sis claimed to have a prophetic dream about another game ... I brainwashed her into thinking she didn't. She is NOT allowed to have more fun prophetic dreams than me! Why must mine be lame? At least your's were cool Pryo, you got to see four years into the future! Well, I slep well tonite (I had a monstrous dinner and ya know how that can knock ya out!). And then the dream was about ... endangered kittens. Ya know how every year these crabs migrate across these island towns to laeve their eggs on a certain beach? That's basically what was happening with the kittys, and I guess it was the last day of school all over, cuz me and some kids from school - including some I hardley knew - had to help. This would be the 3d 'last day of school' dream I've had. I wont even try to contemplate that. I kept waking up throughout my dreams, but I fell back asleep, which is why I still remember them. They ended with this cat meowing, and as it turns out, the neighbors cat was moewing, she was looking for her kitten.
I had a dream I was buying cigarettes (I don't smoke) and I couldn't decide which brand to buy. I know I was buying the cigarettes to smoke them, but there was also another reason - like I was going to do something and I needed cigarettes to do it - but I can't remember what it was.
This is interesting in that I made a joke when one of my friends picked up on a cough I had the other day; I said I had to cut down on the cigarettes. Hmmm.
I've had two really weird dreams.
The first, my classic "Mayonaise" dream (I apologize if I'm spelling mayonaise wrong.)
So, in my dream I see a jar of maynaise. It's just there, not floating or sitting on anything, just there, with a blue backround. Then I woke up like "wtf"? I don't even like mayonaise.
The second was a bit longer, and hopefully I can remember all of it. So I was at school, and for some reason I suspected that someone was going to try to murder my best friend, Cora. I'm trying to figure out who it is and why, when suddenly Cora asks the teacher to go to the bathroom. I figure that this is my opportunity to tell her I thought someone would try to kill her, so we leave, but the teacher was just giving out a test. He told us that as long as we were excused and didn't have anything written on our test we could take it later. Cora and I were in the hallway and I told her my suspicions, when some snobby girl and her friends walks by and I overhear that she filled out Cora and my tests with all of the wrong answers. I go nuts on her and chew her out, when all of her friends turned on her and realized how terrible she is. So, we all break out in song and sing the national anthem which in my dream was the biggest insult to this girl. She storms off and we're all happy, when my principle (who looks like Hitler in real life) walks out of his office dressed as Hitler. Then all of the school administrators dressed as ninjas circle all of us and usher us back to class. Then I woke up o.o
Well, I fell asleep at 3:30last night, and finally woke up at 5 til 1. I had a lovely dream last night where I was in paris and I saw Milla and Sasha, kinda like in the Psychonauts euro themed christmas cards (
http://shop.doublefine.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=63) Then I went to london, and I saw Lili and Raz zoom by on a vespa, LIKE IN THE CARDS. then I went to Germany, bla bla bla, Hasselhof,I saw oleander in leiterhosen caroling with Bobby, Benny and Dogan, LIKE IN THE CARDS!!!
and Now, I must write fanfiction about them.
So I had a prophetic dream about Star Fox Adventures when I was a yungun'. This was very, very awesome and I am glad to have remembered it and shared it.
It started on a ship. There was this holographic blue fox talking to me, and apparently my friends. YOU'LL NEVER GUESS THAT THE BLUE FOX WAS A GIRL. Never knew her name until the game came out, of course. So then it's all like ship is going down argh dinosaurs are attacking. DINOSAURS. So then the ship crashlands, everyone is scattered.
I'm in this swampy place - EXACTLY modeled after Lightfoot Tribe's Village, walking around, enjoying the beautiful environment when STAR FOX SUDDENLY ATTACKED ME.
And then I woke up.
I recently had a prophetic dream about Psychonauts 2.
I was a spirit or brain form or something, and Sasha asked me to choose a body, so I made this black-clothed Dart character with red stripes on his hat and little orange swirls on his clothes. (Because orange, blue and black are the best colors ever. In that order from best to still awesome.) So I was walking around in these ravines, with waterfalls and stuff, and I found this base inside the waterfall/some door in the ravine (can't remember arrrghghg) and I got this like, mission, to track down a psychic criminal.
People, Psychonauts 2 is coming. And it's gonna be underrated.

...classic? A recurring dream?
Hitler principles and ninja teachers? Mayo? I guess we can safely assume that we here are all very messed up ;). And like I've said before, I'm real jealous that you guys get the cool prophetic dreams! At the time though, I guess you wouldn't know that it was prophetic dream that you just had. Darn. The dream I had last night could have been a prophetic dream about some game where you ... i dunno ... help endangered cats cross through some forest of doom or something ... and I wouldn't know. If prophetic dreams were real though, would that mean that time travels in a circular motion, and that these prophetic dreams are really just distant, foggy memories of something that has already happened in one timeline but has yet to happen in the current one? I'm just surprised that this thread has managed to stay on topic for two whole pages.
...classic? A recurring dream?
Nah, just classic because it's known amongst my friends as the weirdest, if not stupidest, dream any of us have had. XD; Perhaps I choose the wrong word to use
The mayonnaise dream...is possibly a reference to Rocko's Modern Life.
...
Oh, this isn't the BSwiki Episode Trivia section? Sorry.
My recurring nightmare is a gigantic pizza wave that smothers me as I try to run away but the ground dissapears beneath me.
And Bambie and I becoming enslaved to a psycho circus. Or my neighbor stealing my baby sister in the middle of the night.
Let's not forget that horrible, horrible, dream I had last night. Why did I go to sleep?
I also had a dream once about policemen KILLING EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD
!!! It was friggin scary.
I remember that old myth that if you died in your dream, you would die in real life. I've died a couple of times in my dreams and as far as I know, I'm still alive.

quoted for importance.
OK, yesterday I played a lot of psychonauts, and listened to White Rabbit before falling asleep, so I had this weird psychonauts meets alice in wonderland on A LOT of acid. Sasha was the white rabbit, and I was alice and Milla was the queen of hearts and Loboto and Oleander were the Mad Hatter and March Hare, and Pokeylope was the dormouse.
Man, it was f***ed up!

Soo... you had a dream about a dream? Cuz remember, Alice's whole adventure was just a very messed up dream in the first place. Did you at least get to drink the tea? Wait... that was probably laced ...
I'm, pretty sure that in the dream I had last night, I got lost in the Sahara ...
DON'T YOU PEOPLE GET IT? PSYCHONAUTS 2. I AM NOSTRADAMUS 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO.
Cheez, I've had prophetic dreams of myself getting a my size angel barbie since I was 4. It never happened.
and yes, I drank the tea and played flamingo croquet with Milla. After, of coarse chasing Sasha the white rabbit. Oh and the rose garden part was weird too. All the camp kids were flowers in that garden.
And you'll never guess who the catterpillar was...
Fred?
Also, Alice in Wonderland was based on a true story.
...of drugs.
...and that wasn't a joke. (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Carroll#Possible_Drug_Use)
Don't get started on the Psychonauts drug comparisons... I was trying to convince everyone about that for months but thrik just got upset and said I'd turned into a hippie.
Suffice it to say:

...you just told us a root will help us sleep.
Right or not, that's strong hippy evidence.
No, it was Tim. :xp:
Also, I can't let my dad think I'm a hippy. He already calls me one because I don't like to wear socks. I mean, I love socks, but they make my feet sweaty and stinky.
Hee I don't tend to wear socks (or shoes). And I'm not saying I'm not a hippie, but the act of getting upset because someone is one denotes a derogatory opinion of them. I'm not a total hippie anyway, I mean I drive a car and I eat meat and stuff. I just like the psychedelic stuff.

Same here, just not to the X factor. I don't wear like the ugly hippy clothes like that crappy boho chic look that was big last year, that was disgusting. I like some psychadelic music like Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplain, but not grateful dead which is 'the ultimate enemy' according to my Misfit loving dad. He and mom are real opposites, I don't get it.
Well luckily I like both the Misfits and The Grateful Dead, although unsuprisingly The Dead figure a lot higher on my Last.fm profile (
http://www.last.fm/user/dwishart). The Airplane are way up there too. And The Doors ;
Wow, cool, I always wanted to be a hippie. I've always been interested in the paranormal: remote viewing, telekinesis, reading minds, astral projection, lucid dreaming, out of body experiences, and all of that. Psychonauts sold me because it rekindled my interest in those.

He was right. Also, I had a dream where I was in a talent show, and I sang Purple Haze and everyone was all WTF and pelted me with eggs, and the ghost of Jimi Hendrix came down and burned everyone to death with his flaming guitar.
Of course it was me, who do you think wrote "I AM SMON AND I DID THIS." in blood all over little Billy Westone's walls? With his blood. And his intestines.

How could I have bin so stoopit? The cloos where right there, in front of me the whole times. I mean ... the cows ... the milk ... the crop-circles ... my dreams ... all right there ...
Anyway, have any of you guys been so worried about something that it affects your dreams? I remember once that I was missing this one important homework assignment, and I was all freakin' out. Near the end of my sleep, I half woke (So I ws half asleep, half awake), and the part of me that was dreaming was all like ,'dont worry, i got this supper smart plan that will take care of everything', and the woken part was all like,'..but...'. The dream side won, and i felt all invincible and smart and worryfree, and then I woke up and felt so dumb!
I did duct-tape this stick of dynamite to my laser gun...
...in retrospect it was a bad move.
Duct-tape? Laser gun? More cryptic messages about your next victim? *looks at sig for clues*, movie reels ... mage/warlock ... tiger ... a guy who looks like the president ... you are going to assasinate the actor who portrays the prez in 24, aren't you? Arent yooooooooo!?!?!?!??
I had a crapperific nightmare last night(dont ask), and the fact that Ford Cruller appeared at the end didn't make it any better. Why oh why did I go to sleep? Thinking back, in the dream, I was thinking, "is this a dream? It's gotta". I was THAT close to having a lucid dream, Snap!
I never have nightmares. I sometimes have scary dreams, but I don't consider them nightmares because I don't wake up terrified or anything, I actually think they're kind of cool. I can only remember having one bona-fide nightmare in the last ten years (there could have been more, but I only remember one) and in it, I was pinned up against the wall by an invisible force, inside a church, and something was writing a name on the floor. The dream was over before the name was finished, thank God, but when I woke up I was covered in sweat and not at all happy.
i had a dream about killing Evil Cyborg Dictator Paris Hilton with a two keysabers(Keyblade/lightsaber mix) given to me by Jim Carrey and Mike Myers.
w00t! I finally had another lucid dream peoples! I was in my front yard ... and it just happened, I just knew. I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't change the environment, so i decided to fly. It was cool, even though my flying skillz are far from being the shiznit. The sad thing was that it lasted only a few dream minutes (around 10 since time flows faster in a dream). I just lost control over my lucidity, it slipped away. Or it could have been that I was entering another dream, as you have 3 or so seperated dreams a night, and your previous dream doesn't carry over to the next (Which is why they have so little consistinsy and are so weird). The lucidity usually only lasts one dream unless you 'wake up' in your others. And I 'woke' near the end :(. They say that you should spin around if you feel that your lucid dream is fading. I forgot!
PS: OMG, I'va had evil dictator celebrities in my dreams too!! Just that it was Martha Stewart and she wanted to take over the world. And no, not with her her delicious pastries.
The sad thing was that it lasted only a few dream minutes (around 10 since time flows faster in a dream).
That's not entirely true - time perception in the dream world is the same as in the real world. The reason time seems to go by faster is that you subconsciouslly know that you're dreaming and it's not real - this is easier to explain by example: If you were having a dream where you saw your friends outside from your bedroom window, the next thing would probably be that you were standing outside with them. This is because your brain skips the 'leave bedroom, walk downstairs, open front door, walk to friends' steps because they are largely irrelevant and will just take up time.
This is very useful for achieving lucidity too, as if you make a point of remembering the banal steps between things (ie, walking downstairs, or the car journey to a place) when you dream and they don't occur, it might stun you into 'waking up.'
Of course, the hardest thing is staying calm as soon as you're lucid. Oftentimes I would be so "omg yes" that I would wake up for real. It's a very curious feeling though, to be doing something and to know that it's a dream - I've never had the feeling for long, and I've only known that I knew it was a dream after I've woken up - like "I had a dream last night and in the dream I knew it was a dream" if you see what I mean.
Another way to help have a lucid dream is similar to your reality check idea, every hour or so try to form matter with your mind. It worked for me.
I've been doing the reality checks throughout the day, but this seems interesting. Can you elaborate on the explanation a bit? I haven't had enough lucid dreams to know waking up to be a problem, but so far, I've stayed asleep all the way through. But i kinda wasted time wondering what to do while lucid. I had tryed to change the environment (Oh look, it's my front yard, whoopdydoo) but I couldn't so I just decided to do one of the more common things. Flying. I think I tryed to go too high, so I actually felt the hight-fear setting in. I shoulda settled for floating. Also, it would have been nice to have 'woken' at a different 'time'. Yeah, it was my front yard. At nite. And my neighborhood isn't the safest, so the paranoia still carried through even though I knew that nothing could really hurt me. I better find a way to use the lucid dreams I do get to the max, instead of admiring how real the c0@t feels...
Yeah, on a funny but stupid note, I was standing in a crowded elevator and just said "This is the weirdest dream I've ever had."
I was playing Super Mario Bros. 3 in my dream last night. I was on the last airship, and then there was a cutaway (like how all the levels end) and then there was this awesome boss battle.
...
I have...no idea.
Butch Hartman meets the Psychonauts...and the kids at my school. It was the best dream I've had in awhile....Except the kids at my school part...
I'm back from vacation. I had no real dreams, except this one where Raz and Lili got into fireworks at Wispering Rock and began to shoot everyone with roman candles. Raz was all "YOUR STORIES SUCK, NOW YOU DIE!" and he shot Vernon in the face with a bottle rocket.
Yeah, the moral is playing with fireworks kicks ass. I should know!
Oooh! I luv fireworks! We were shootin' 'em last night in my Gramma's front yard, and it was fun until the cops showed. And even after that, the family decided to screw the law and kept firing them anyway.
Yeah, they legalized them in Indiana so we had a blast without breaking the law!
I have this book on psychic dreaming, but, (my parents are divorced and all that stuff,) the book is at the other parents house, so I'll post here sometime later this week,(maybe month,) when I analyse these dreams and tell you what they mean.
So elTee, tell me about these sacred herbs, like the cultivation and preparation of them. I've heard some of them can do great things for psychic and spiritual energies and such.
So elTee, tell me about these sacred herbs, like the cultivation and preparation of them. I've heard some of them can do great things for psychic and spiritual energies and such.
The sacred Mahou Ha-bu root is said to have magical properties. But only because I just invented it.
But yeah, please elTee, enlighten us. You seem to be very knowledgeable in this field.
Well, the most important thing to understand about all this is that you have to have an open mind and be of the persuasion that the Earth is capable of providing a cure for almost anything that ails you. I know scientists take a plant and analyse the composition, find out which chemicals in it are active and then synthesise them in a laboratory and this has 'the same effect' (or stronger due to the purity) but when you're sort of a borderline pagan like me then the active compounds in a plant are not nearly as important of the spirit of the plant itself. After all, you're consuming a living entity; it is dying for you to experience something. That said, each plant is not unique to itself, but governed by a spirit which is invested in each plant of a particular species, which is why the plants aren't 'angry' at you for consuming them. Of course, if you consume them with the wrong attitude then the spirit of that plant is less likely to be benevolent towards you, which in my opinion is a major reason why so many people have very bad trips on Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, and to a lesser extent the Psilocybin mushrooms. You go seeking knowledge, not some fun - and in doing so are more likely to be shown a useful vision.
If you think that all this is gibberish, then my advice is probably of no use to you. I am a person who uses entheogens (
http://theline.wordpress.com/tag/entheogens/) for spiritual reasons, which is in most people's eyes akin to 'being a druggie' or 'being a hippie' but it isn't (
http://theline.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/entheogens/). What I'm talking about here is essentially drug taking, but with legal substances - and as most of you are under 18, it's important for me to say that I don't think you should mess around with the more powerful things like Salvia until you're good and ready; and when that is is up to you, but please don't think I'm encouraging it. I'm not!
However, I don't have any problem talking about so-called 'dream herbs' with you as there are no restrictions on them that I know about, and are generally available in health food stores. But! If you want to try any of these read the links in this post first! Don't go out and blindly buy a 'dream herb' and then find out it has some side-effects you don't like or can't handle. Know your substances!
The best one that I know about is called Calea Zacatechichi (
http://www.erowid.org/plants/calea_zacatechichi/). As far as I know this plant is legal everywhere except for Louisiana, where it is illegal as sold for human consumption but presumably still available in garden centres. It can be made into a tea, crushed into capsules and swallowed, or smoked depending on your preference - but here is a beginner's guide to the preparation (
http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=12224) of this herb - read it carefully. The general concensus on Calea is that it will lead to a very clear dreamstate and improve your dream recall - if you take it with some kind of regularity it would no doubt be useful towards achieving lucidity.
Here (
http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=14163) is an experience report of someone using the melatonin, vitamin-B6 and valerian combo I told you about, with doses. There are many more on Erowid (
http://www.erowid.org).
These are the only substances I have experience with and I think it would be irresponsible to endorse anything I haven't tried myself. If you're interested, search for shops online with the words 'entheogens' or 'dream herbs' and see what they have to offer. If you find something that looks good, look it up on this list (
http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp_list.shtml) and see what other people think about it - as they say, 'you cannot deny the experiences of others'.
Alternatively, go into a head shop (or any kind of 'pagan' or wicca type store; one that sells potions and bongs and incense and 'legal joints', you know the type) and just tell them you are looking for substances that will affect your dreams - they'll know more than me. If you go to a health store, just tell them you're looking for a natural sleeping aid.
Wow.
In other news, the most amazing thing ever happened to me.
I was trying to have an out-of-body experience, and then something just switched. I felt like I was UNDER my bed, spread out in all of the little drawers under it, my eyes were twitching ridiculously (REM sleep?) and I was like, vibrating. I thought I was out, but (damned) asthma made me have to consciously focus on taking a big breath.
Anyway since I just don't have the will to smoke (well, maybe) I'll be enjoying some Calea Zacatechichi tea soon.
Still, that was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me up there. I gotta try it again.
EDIT: No "foreign" substances were used, just me and my willpower.
