Stealing dream objects

**fatcatcog** · 12-23-2010 10:34 AM

You know how as you enter the hypnagogia stage and you get the sort of 'mini dreams' and become less aware of what's going on around you? When I enter that stage I sometimes feel objects, like once I had a spoon in my hand. I was drifting in and out of sleep and as I woke up a bit it felt like I still had the spoon in my hand! The feeling persisted for a few moments and when I was awake enough to think 'why do I have a spoon in my hand' I held my hand in front of me and there was no spoon. The feel of the spoon faded.
Just wanted to know if anyone else had experienced something similar to this, if you do please reply, and if you havent you can still reply if you want

.

By the way, I know a spoon is an odd example but it really happened...

Yeah i know what your saying like when you get hurt in a dream, when you wake up sometimes you hurt for a second

Hmm, I've had somewhat similar experiences, and sometimes when I wake up and was previously holding something in a dream, I will wonder what happened to the object... until I realize that I had been dreaming and that object didn't exist (at least in waking life).

Well, once I was trying to write down a DC's phone number but then soon realized that I wouldn't be able to take that paper with me- very inconvenient. I was amused how this was "an actual problem"

This is a fun topic. I have always fantasized about bringing dream objects back into the real world. It seems possible. Others have reported to have eaten something in a dream, then right after they woke up and still had the taste in their mouth for a few seconds before it disappeared. So why not a solid object? I think some kind of machine would have to be invented in order to make it possible.

I think the solid object are here its just that our senses are poor at perceiving them. I bet if you slipped off into an out of body you would see the object.
My theory, after years thinking on this, is that our reality is much more dense. It seems that matter is made up of consciousness and the more consciousness you can pour into an object the more "real" or dense it becomes. So I have to wonder if I spent a half hour LDing making just one object seem as real to me as it could ever get and fully intending it to materialize in the waking world, would I get something maybe even close? Hmmm I am going to try this maybe start on something really small at first, its just hard to use LD time on something that is actually a little boring but the pay off would be mind blowing. Imagine all the cool and crazy things we come across in dreams, just having a few of things would be beyond awesome! BTW this would make a great movie!

This has happened to me plenty of times. I actually thought it was very common...but maybe not I guess.

I totally get what you mean with the spoon example. I had plenty of dreams where I think maybe I am on my cell phone texting then wake up, am still moving my hands and feel like I am holding a phone, only to look down and see there is nothing there and then realize I dreamed the phone....and I did not randomly have it in my hand at 3AM.

Canden, your theory is similar to the law of attraction theory and could well be true. I read that one man once made a feather in his mind, with distinctive and colourful markings so he would recognise it and remember it. At every oppertunity he got he thought hard about it and after a few weeks of this he found his feather in the entrance to a tall building. I'm open minded to crazy stuff like this so I'm going to try it.
