Can't quench thirst...?

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but it's the closest thing I could find for what I need to ask.

I often have dreams where I become extremely thirsty, and when I try to drink some water to quench my thirst, it's like nothing is going into my mouth, and I end up more thirsty than I was before. I keep trying and trying in vain to drink the water, and nothing ever helps, it just gets worse and worse...then I usually wake up not too long after that.

Has anyone here expierienced that (or anything similar) before, or is it just me?

Hmm, I've had some dreams like that before, but not really recurring. Are you thirsty when you go to bed? Maybe your body is trying to tell you to drink more water! Maybe then you'll have dreaming about drowning - lol. ;)

I dunno if that's it, I usually drink a pretty good amount of water during the day, especially lately. This is a very common recurring theme in my dreams...and it really bothers me.

Maybe try doing reality checks every time you take a drink of water?

Or while laying in bed, visualize the dreams you have, then visualize yourself becoming lucid. Really concentrate on how you feel, and what you'd do to change the dream.

I dunno, anyone else have any suggestions??

Hi Krista,

Yep, that's a common thing that happens to lots of people. It's the same concept as having to go to the bathroom in your dreams, then relieving yourself (in the dream) only feel like you have to go again.

What's happening is that your brain is receiving the signal from your body "Hey, I'm thirsty" or "Dude, it's time to take a piss". Then it's bringing that external stimulus into your dream. You drink (or pee) in your dream - which makes you THINK you're taking care of the issue at hand, but in reality you're still lying there with either a thirsty belly or filled up bladder.

You just described a perfectly good dreamsign! As Burns pointed out, you could do reality checks whenever it is that you drink in waking life OR simply try to train your mind and keep enforcing the fact that THIRST = DREAM. Eventually this thought (induced) will carry into your dream and you will make the correlation and become lucid!

what the guy above me said...




but if you really want to get rid of the thirst, try puking, after all: drinking = getting more thirsty, so what if it would go to the outside instead of the inside... :wink:



yeah... i'm thinking crap again


never mind

just read the post of that guy above me :idea:

he has got, like, everything you need to know about it...

Thanks for the suggestions guys! :D
