Thread: The Traffic Light

I have had many many strange, long, and often deep dreams. They always seem to make sense somehow, although it may take me a long time to relize why I thought of that particular thing.

Now, this is my weirdest one. It has been a reoccuring sign in many LD's and non-LD's.. This sign may repeat itself every night for a week, but it may wait months or years to reappear again.

Anyways, here is what it is. My first one, i remember when i was very little. I woke up scared of a nightmare. Well i thought I was awake.. now, here was the deal when i was little. I would have a nightmare and become scared, i could sometimes escape it, but it always happened in my room. Well the thing was, sometimes i would go to my parents, well many times if i walked out, that is when the nightmare attacked, but many times i went through unharmed.

Well i made it to my parents' room, ok.. i walk around and a stoplight appears.. a friggin stoplight, right in front of me, about my size. The color changes and I wake up. Strange.. well i had it appear there a couple more times... even more strange.

Soon it would just appear everywhere and one time i was on a sidewalk and this life-sized stoplight appears. Now... the scary part i find on this.. is that it appeared for no reason, stopped happening long ago, yet haunts me to this day.

I also noticed time would significatly slow in dreams after i had this appear, and i would have nights so intense with dreaming, that I could be fully awake, yet be in a complete LD. I would have literally dozens in a night, mixed with false awakenings, nightmares, LDs, and i think a few times OBE's.

The stoplight, what did it mean, why did it appear, why did my dreaming go off the wall when it happened, why did it sometimes freeze time when it turned red, and why does it scare the shit outta just thinkin about it.

That is my only recurring thing, and it seems to be the key to all my LD's and dream recall.
