Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hi, I have a very active dream life and flying dreams are one of my favourites. I remember one particular flying dream where other people could not fly and were trying and I could just not understand why they couldn't - it was so easy! I also sometimes dream about vampires and quite like these dreams - not scary at all, but then I'm quite into vampires The weirdest types of dreams are ones that leave me feeling strange all day afterwards, they seem to affect me in the solar plexus region (upper abs I think?). I have suffered nightmares too though, not as nice; particularly the variety where you seem to wake up, but actually you haven't and are still in the dream. The kind of nightmares, where I've woke myself up screaming!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I mostly have nightmares. As a kid I had 2 recurring nightmares that were not reality-based at all. I would always wake up screaming. I used to wake my parents up at least once a night with blood curdling screams. Sometimes I’d wake up and not be able to move my legs and try to get out of bed but couldn’t walk – completely paralyzed from the waist down for a while. Or wake up and my parents would be in the room but they seemed very far away, my mom would be hugging me and I couldn’t feel it, it was as if I was outside of my body looking at the scene... not inside my body – I could see myself... so I’m not sure if I was still dreaming or what – but they said the things I saw happen really did happen – strange! I scared the heck out of my parents every night. They say they thought about taking me to a psychologist, I often wonder why they didn’t. One recurring nightmare was... unexplainable! The other was a monster (later in my teens it became a man) was chasing me. I would meet up with someone, or more than one person, I knew and ask for help, but they couldn’t hear me or see me. I’d end up screaming for help and they still couldn’t hear or see me. I would stand there in a complete panic screaming and waving my arms in front of their faces (never touched them though) until I would look back and see the monster/man caught up and was coming around the corner (a shadow, I never really saw it) and knew I was about to die... and would wake up screaming. It was always a different place and a different person/s, but the rest was the same. The only ‘good’ dream that I remember as a kid was about flying. In the dreams, I could only fly when I held my breath. I would start off in a situation that always caused me pain, most often being teased, and would hold my breath and rise gently, always just missing the treetops. Nobody ever noticed that I floated away. I was always afraid that I would die if I held my breath too long, but knew I couldn’t start breathing or else I would fall. I always found I didn’t need to breathe while flying (which surprised me in every dream). It seemed nobody else ever noticed that I was flying around up there. Once I realized I was safe, it was very peaceful up there. Now I have nightmares that are reality-based. Well, sort of. Mostly natural disasters, things like tornados (I say sort of because on Long Island it is extremely rare to have a tornado!). Sometimes terrible things happening to the kids...always things I have no control over and couldn’t have prevented. Boy, I’m messed up, huh?! Wendi Dreams I have two types of dreams: 1) Dreams that are reality-based and normal 2) Dreams that are not reality-based and weird In either of these types of dreams, I have: 1) No control over what happens in them or 2) Can act within the framework of the dream or 3) Change the dream if I make the effort and steer it wherever I want it to go. In the dreams I can contol I can: 1) Fly 2) Move objects by telekenesis 3) Read minds 4) Time travel Am I weird, or can anyone else do these or other things? My top three coolest dreams to date (at least of the less than X and R-rated variety): 1) I am traveling in the Tardis with Doctor Who and fighting Daleks in 22nd Century England. 2) I am the fifth Beatle and lead singing Twist and Shout. is on my left, and on my right, and Ringo behind. 3) Indiana and I are trying to steal an idol from an Incan or Mayan temple in 1935. Anyone else care to share their dreams? Tom FAM Secret Society is a community based on respect, friendship, support and acceptance. Everyone is valued. Always remember that.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 > Anyone else care to share their dreams? It's interesting that this was one of the first threads I noticed after signing on because I have been wondering lately if Aspergian dreams are quantifiably different. There are rarely ever any other people in my dreams besides myself. When there are people, they tend to just be voices and hands, not entire people. On the rare occasions that I do see entire people, they have no faces. It's not like a Twilight Zone horror show; it doesn't frighten or disturb me, there's just nothing where a face would be. It seems perfectly natural when I'm dreaming it. Sometimes people will appear in my dreams as other objects but I recognize them as people I know. I had a dream in which a man with whom I'd formerly had a relationship was present in the form of a floor lamp. I can't explain how I knew that the floor lamp was Kurt, but I did. I had a dream about my brother in which he was an elephant rather than a person. Things that do appear quite often in my dreams include: buildings, particularly very old and large houses, especially old, large apartment buildings with secret passages to hidden apartments. Some buildings have recurring roles in my dreams in that they continue to appear in dreams over the course of years. One in particular is out in the country with a very bright pole lamp and a Dutch door (those split doors you can open just on the top or all the way.) These buildings are not, to the best of my knowledge, buildings I have ever seen while awake. They are dream buildings. cemetaries, particularly ones with quite unusual momuments. I remember dreaming about visiting the grave of a computer programmer whose gravestone was in the shape of a computer and, as it turned out, had keys you could depress and a monitor that, despite being made of stone, displayed things. I dreamt once about going to a cemetary with a building on the grounds and special graves inside including one that was an old log cabin with the bodies of the dead people inside it, sitting in rocking chairs. I sometimes dream about a mysterious cemetary on a hill that I keep trying to get to but no matter which lane I go down or how I try to approach it, I can't access it. animals, especially rats (I love rats.) wheelchairs. I regularly dream that I am in a wheelchair. I do not feel happy or sad about that fact. It just is. In my wheelchair dreams I sometimes have to negotiate a maze of barriers, sort of like those metal barriers you see in stockyards and at rodeos, that are arranged sort of like the cordons leading to the counter at a fast food restaurant except there are turn upon turn upon turn of them and they are in a very large warehouse-type building with a concrete floor. Sometimes I'm using my wheelchair in an airport and many times I've dreamed about visiting the zoo in a wheelchair. Nighttime. I can't recall the last time I had a dream about daytime. It is nighttime in all or nearly all of my dreams. The darkness (which I can see perfectly fine in) seems to be in conjunction with a great trend towards secrecy in my dreams. I'm quite often sneaking in to empty places at night that are full of people in the daytime. I've often dreamed of visiting museums at night when they are empty and I remember a wonderful dream of going at night to a large glass dome filled with orchids and a huge rectangular " pond " lined with blue tiles and filled with bright orange koi. In that dream, I went swimming in the koi pond in the moonlight. I have had these types of dreams as long as I can remember. I remember having a dream when I was about eight years old about going outside at night and finding that all the other houses in the subdivision had vanished and in their place were rolling grass hills. I walked up over a hill and found an empty restaurant that I could walk into and have whatever I desired, all alone. I can still feel the wonderful excitement and calming secrecy I felt as I enjoyed a milkshake all alone, looking out at endless rolling green hills in the darkness.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I can control some parts of my dream, but only if I am aware that I am in a dream (as weird as that sounds). I do have dreams that are like yours in a way, but the ones that are normal based always seem to head towards the wierd after awhile. > I have two types of dreams: > > 1) Dreams that are reality-based and normal > 2) Dreams that are not reality-based and weird > > In either of these types of dreams, I have: > > 1) No control over what happens in them or > 2) Can act within the framework of the dream or > 3) Change the dream if I make the effort and steer it wherever I > want it to go. > > In the dreams I can contol I can: > > 1) Fly > 2) Move objects by telekenesis > 3) Read minds > 4) Time travel > > Am I weird, or can anyone else do these or other things? > > My top three coolest dreams to date (at least of the less than X and > R-rated variety): > > 1) I am traveling in the Tardis with Doctor Who and fighting Daleks > in 22nd Century England. > > 2) I am the fifth Beatle and lead singing Twist and Shout. > is on my left, and on my right, and Ringo behind. > > 3) Indiana and I are trying to steal an idol from an Incan or > Mayan temple in 1935. > > Anyone else care to share their dreams? > > Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
