Never heard of micro dreams... |
|
This is something one of my adoptees asked me about, and I can't find anything on them. What are they exactly, and are they lucid or non and how do they come about? Any information is welcomed. |

I could say that I see them as strong hypnagogic episodes. I'm no sleep scientist or whatever... but from what I gathered from personal experience - daydreaming, visualization, hypnagogia and eventually dreams can be strongly intertwined. It kind of makes sense, since it all revolves around the same things with slight variations in the state of consciousness, state of wakefulness etc. |

Micro dreams are dream snippets or complete for all practical purposes , small dreams. These are not the same as hynagogia in my experience but are very similarf. Hypnogogia hallucinations,for me, are biological and not pyschological. I see wierd lights behind my eye lids (hypnogogia) or I see it in my physical body. Dream snipets I percieve in my head as being oriented in a true separate dimension of its own. However, I am not a sleep doctor either. That is just how I experience it. |

Thought plus emotion creates attitude. Attitude plus action creates experience and experience determines reality
I have read little about "micro naps". It that article they said that apparently it's where you're dreaming without knowing it, even if you are awake. I was wondering if this actually happens. I have no idea of that. |

Never heard of a micro dream. |

I never heard of micro-dreams until I recently saw A Nightmare on Elm Street which is currently in theaters. I was wondering if they were real until I just googled it and found this thread lol. Apparently there is micro-sleep which has already been explained. |
|
Yeah, I was going to come on here and say the student likely heard about them from 'Nightmare' but Louie already seems to have said it. Never heard of them otherwise. I think I may have experienced them a few times. Maybe not, though. |

i've gotten (what i think) are micro dreams while drifting off to sleep, and waking up in the morning.. turning my alarm clock off.. and laying back in bed. then a couple minutes later JUMPING UP and getting ready for school. |
|
I consider micro dreams to be a dream where it feels like the dream is only 5-10 dream minutes in length. They can be non lucid as well as lucid. |
|
A day dream can be considered a micro dream also. |
|
Sometimes when I'm having a "lazy morning", or just vedging in, I tend to doze off without actually falling asleep. Within this period of time, I remember having some quick dreams but I'm only half asleep, not fully. Maybe those are micro dreams? |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

This happend to me like this: I'm half asleep, and have a micro-dream (or whatever) about getting up for school. I eat, and do my hair, put on my clothes...blah blah blah. Then I get pissed off when I realise I'm STILL IN BED and haven't done any of it yet. It's annoying and disorienting. I felt as if I had already done it. |

I think this is what I had this morning. I woke up and then layed back down for a while, and while I was laying there I was watching a medieval battle. I was really confused afterwards because it was more than a day dream, and less then a dream, and I wasn't asleep. |

"...and then this mean kid came to the door and started shooting at me with a fudgecicle..."
From what I have heard there caused by not sleeping. You fall asleep real quickly and almost instantly go into a dream. Someones you can see things in real life that wasn't actually there. |

I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.-Charley pride
