| From The Mind Unleashed's "10 Things You Didn't Know About Lucid Dreaming" |
Do you ever have dreams like you're in the movies? Not like watching a movie you've seen, but like being in one, even if you only realize it when you awake. I have these all the time! Complete with stars I either know or have never seen (or I can't even see the faces). The stars don't even have to be people I like nor hate and I'm always surprised why they come up in my dreams at all. Sometimes I wake up and realize "Hey, that's an idea!" and I wish I could write them.
They have their own plots! I mean, it's been said that often, dreams have something to do with the dreamer's state at the moment (problematic, etcetera), but sometimes, the dreams really have nothing to do with me at all, hard as I try to interpret! It's like I write them in my dreams! I just wish the plots are much clearer and sensible, though, ha ha! Maybe I could actually create one script. I've heard that some music artists compose songs in their dreams, so...I'm just saying this because the other night, I had a funny li'l dream. It wasn't that clear at the start, rather weird, but it soon became more "plot-driven".
It was a fantasy-comedy thing, maybe in the tradition of Ella Enchanted. The protagonist was an Afro-American "actress" but I'm not sure if she even exists in the real world at all. Her brother in the dream, I now remember, was Chris Tucker with long hair, LOL!!!! Exasperated by him, she stormed off then missed seeing her soon-to-be love interest, another Afro-American who was rather on the heavy side and with long hair, too. Maybe I've seen him before. She missed seeing him aboard a tricycle (a vehicle in the Philippines, ha ha! Research on it on the Net) with a little girl, his sister, who seemed Filipino.
Then the woman was in the house, our house, and opened what we call our old kitchen which looked like a storage room (it does look like it anyway). There were old stuff that magically moved and talked and said something like going somewhere where all the others who were like them were! And then there was a Caucasian man I couldn't even recognize because he was covered in dirt and dust together with the stuff in the "storage room". The woman got more exasperated by the man and the stuff and stormed off again...
Then I woke up and was disappointed I didn't get to see the whole thing! Ha ha ha!!!!! And it's funny that dream psychologists or analysts or whatever you call them say that dreams almost always are in black and white. But my dream was in full color!!!! Really funny!!! Most of my "movie" dreams are often in color, though this was the clearest I ever had.
Oh, man...Well, anyway, one can actually tell oneself s/he is dreaming, I just need practice. So I will practice and then plot the whole thing in my dream. I will certainly search data on dream manipulations...Cool, huh?
According to our professor, when dreams are in color, you were emotional. I can't recall what he said about 'remembering' details of the dream... now, you're making think of taking masterals. :D
ReplyDeleteThe mind is astounding isn't it. Try keeping a dream journal, who knows the Oscar winning plot could spring up one dream-filled night. :)
dreams....
ReplyDeletei kinda stopped having those...or even if i did, they are the type one would forget the moment morning comes in. I dunno, must be something to do with the native Indian Dreamcatcher I was given by a friend...
one dream sure stands out in my memory.
I got to meet and spend time with Josh Groban. Honest! Now ain't that a kick in the head! lolz
Aha, so you saw Westlife's latest album? :)
ReplyDeleteyep, plus the video. i still have to get my finances in order, though...lolz
ReplyDelete"According to our professor, when dreams are in color, you were emotional. I can't recall what he said about 'remembering' details of the dream"
ReplyDeleteThat's just it. I don't think I was emotional. I'm not even sure I was thinking of anything...Well, except that I hoped there would be no work the next day, LOL!!!...
Remembering details? If I'm not mistake, that's part of the dream manipulation thing. If you are able to realize that you are only dreaming, you can manipulate the story according to how you want it to turn out and try to memorize what you see. Anyway, going back to the dream reflecting real life, it is said that they are sometimes about the problems we worry about during our waking hours? I heard that sometimes, they hold the answers to our problems. So, if we can manipulate them, it's a way to solve stuff.
"i kinda stopped having those..."
ReplyDeleteOr maybe not. Most dreams, we tend to forget the moment we wake up, we have no recollections of having them during the night.
"or even if i did, they are the type one would forget the moment morning comes in."
Oh, I hate this when it happens. Sometimes, I wake up with a clear recollection and I try to delve on it. Then give me something else to think about for sometime then I realize, "hey, what was that dream again?!!!!" I suddenly forget the details or even what it was all about in the first place!
I cannot imagine having a black and white dream. I wonder how that happens with people. It seems really surreal to me. Is that how they can
ReplyDeletetell if they're in a dream--if they can look around and everything looks like a black and white movie?
Sounds creepy--weird. I had some low contrast dreams before such as one on an infintely large farm where everything was sort of golden brown.and there was no way to get off of that farm because it was simply too big.
Well, dreams are more often in black-and-white, not the other way around. Either your own dreams are always in color or maybe you just think they were. This paritcular dream I mentioned was so in color. Anyway, maybe you're a bit emotional? Not sure. But that's what Raine's teacher said. Your dream seem to be telling something...
