Thread: "Too" Realistic Dreams

I used to have them, daily, several times a day. Had to learn special RCs to not confuse them, as in my opinion, they are very, VERY boring, having to do the same thing twise is not nice.

I HATE these real-life-like dreams. Before the day when I discovered lucid dreaming never in my life I had a dream like that. And I mean this literally, I always had good recall, so I can remember. Now they appear more often everyday. I don't understand why this is happening...maybe my brain becomes boring

But what really pisses me off - if I become lucid during these dreams, I never have even a little bit of control. I have control over my actions, but completely incapable of changing anything. It's just everything there is too realistic and I can't believe that I can have control even though I know it's a dream.

I used to have a lot of really realistic dreams in which I die. It's pretty disturbing, and then I wake up and am confused for a few moments before I realize that I'm actually alive and was only dreaming.

Oh yeah. I've had dreams where I'm back in my teenage years doing the dishes, mowing the lawn and going to high school, and then when I wake up I feel like I just did all that work for nothing.

I've never had a dream like this before, but they sound very annoying.

I have lots of boring dreams where I am just walking down the street for 45 minutes. I don't write those in my DJ.

Yes.. very exhuasting like you were awake for 24 hours. sometimes you can't shake the feeling that it was just a dream.

I've never died in one, but I've had dreams where I've failed all my tests, said something really bad, had someone get pissed at me or something and I wake up and I'm questioning if I actually did that.

ive written out entire 5 paragraph essays for my western civilization class. not fun.

These dreams are always so emotional. I had plenty of them. The plot is usually that I screwed up every single bit of my life, spoiled all relationships I have, all people turned their backs on me and there is nothing I can do to change anything. I hope I will never feel the same way IRL. That kind of despair is probably the most horrible thing that I've ever experienced. I used to wake up from the dreams like that in tears X) Although the relieve you feel after waking up is amazing.

These are soo boring. I don't need to live out the boring parts of my life more than once a day. I get them way too often now.

Bleh, I hate boring dreams. }:< Although, my dreams are pretty much never normal. Even if I go to school in my dream it never looks how it is supposed to and weird things happen. The most common thing that happens is that my classes are switched and then I can't find them and either am late or just don't go to my classes. In addition, all the bathrooms usually have stalls missing walls. -.- Also, In one of my dreams there was a supermarket in the center of the school, which later got taken over by monsters. .__. and a different time there were a bunch of swimming pools in the field, but I became lucid from that dream.

I had this once, but not like you describe, just a fragment of me going to school and doing some test, then I woke up and felt like I already completed the school day.

Although that wasn't a realistic dream. I guess I should say that dreams have been too realistic when I've felt pain, but I've rarely felt anything in dreams so I appreciate that too.

I remember one where I went to school, and it was a normal day, but at lunch I jumped off stairs at my school and died, but didn't know, and I was watching everyone acting unaffected, then remembered what I'd done and woke up depressed that no-one had cared.

One time, the next day, I was completely convinced my relatives moved to my neighbors house and I failed a bunch of tests. Those ideas didn't last too long, thank god.
