Ever fall in love in a dream? :o)

[Tjhands]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site, but have been dreaming lucidly for years and years. A couple weeks ago, after having (forgive me, mom!) lucid dream sex with an incredibly beautiful, sensuous woman, I chose to simply lie next to her in bed, looking at her, and she at me. Even though I'm always amazed at the power of the mind to create the vivid dream images that I see before me, this one was....special. The look in her big brown eyes was such a positively "in love" look, that it took me aback. She just lay there, a few inches away, looking at my mouth, my nose, my eyes. She brought her hand up to my chest and lightly dragged her fingers over me. It was such a REAL feeling, that I had to concentrate to keep the dream alive and lucid. Well, I'll stop short of turning this into a chapter from a cheesy romance novel, but a minute before the dream faded and I awoke, I saw that she had tears running down her cheek and onto the pillow. She looked at me and said, "I know I'm not real, and as soon as you wake up....I'll be gone. Sharing this bed with you has been like sharing the world, the womb, and a secret with a twin." I wrote that last sentence down as soon as I woke up. I have never written much poetry, but that one line is better than anything I've ever come up with in my waking life. Sappy, I know, but it reminded me that the very best lucid dreams I've experienced have been the ones where I'm not rushing around like a kid in a candy store. The best ones involve sitting still and concentrating on what's right in front of me. If we could apply that to waking life, I think we'd all be a lot happier. Thanks for reading!

Oh man, that was so intense!! Bet you have that strange combination of warm/happy/awe/love on top of a profound sense of loss. I hope you two cross paths again!

[Erfeyah]

That had to be strange... beautifull and sad. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[Tjhands]

Yeah, who knows? Maybe I'll hook up with her sister next time! Just kidding, just kidding!

[jacobo]

man i fall in love every night. a couple nights ago it was cameron diaz last night it was an ex all over again. but none were as intense as that one. thanks for sharing.

The part I love the most about talking to people in my lucid dreams is that I never have any friggin IDEA what they're gonna say! It always amazes me when they go down a totally different path of thought and conversation than I thought they were going to take. Sometimes they'll say things so profound or just plain weird that I kind of forget that I have created them, and that on some level, I am putting every word into their mouths. This stuff will never stop amazing the hell out of me.....

This stuff will never stop amazing the hell out of me..... Perhaps there is more going on here? There are many here, myself included, that believe outside 'forces' influence dreams. I've had some dreams, one just recently, that are so full of content and taught me so much, that I doubt I could have made it all up.

Once I fell in love with a dream character... However it was a normal dream. I do belive dreams are more then just a bunch of electic signals in our brains...

[Tjhands]

Seeker, Wow. I really (really!) wish I could believe that outside forces are scripting my dreams. Whether it's outside forces or just the seldom-tapped 90% of our brain-power, it's pretty stinkin' amazing. Lucid dreaming rocks!

[Tjhands]

Well ok.......just so I won't be accused of being closed-minded, what's the scoop on the outside forces? Who, what, when, where, and how?

[Truthbearer]

That really was a pretty cool dream, thanks for sharing.... Anyway, I, as a psychology student, would atribute that to the unconscious, and not to outside forces. The unconcious is a really powerful entity and, what I believe, is that it rules the dream world, and is in constant stuggle to determine the margins when it is a lucid dream. I mean, we can only control so much, the rest is controlled by the unconscious. Anyway, many years ago I had this weird dream where a lady burglar came into my house and started taking all our stuff. My family was crying and all, but I was totally mesmerized by her. She actually got me to help her in taking the stuff out of my house. It was all about the way she looked at me....she had me under her complete control. Now I realize that that was probably not love, but that feeling that she cast upon we was very strong and realistic...It was a very intriguing dream...

[Tjhands]

Truthbearer, I'm of the same opinion as you; that the substance of dreams, lucid or not, is the conscious and unconscious mind working in tandem, but it is interesting to hear the other thoughts on the topic. Your dream sounds like my reality! Darn women can get me to do anything they want!

[Lowercase Society]

This can be a touchy, and intese subject. (amazing dream though) The question is: Can you fall in love with the creation of your own mind. Or if you believe the dream world is another reality, can you fall in love with something in another reality.

[RedStarSoldier]

Yeah I have..... She was different then most dream characters... Someday, when I'm able to lucid dream, I'll find her again.

[Blissful]

I believe the dream world is our magical entrance and way of connecting to the spiritual world.....I vote for it being another reality, but just keep things in perspective. You're on earth to learn and grow so take this physical life seriously (albeit mundane at times). TJhands: you should do some reading on twin flames. Just search the word. Your dream gal was sending you a message. A true love would be a twin flame. Maybe your dream was a message, one that is trying to get your attention so you can be ready when you meet her (twin flame) in the physical world. Thanks for sharing the dream. Blissful

Well if it was a real person and you were comunnicating in a dream, which in itself is higly unlikly, finding her is nill. Unless you are destined to be together. However if she is just part of your dream then she is now part of your imagination, and part of you, hey if you train your mind enough you can communicate with her within your own mind. Oh how quick we fall in love...

[ffx-dreamz]

I have fell in love in a dream, but it wasn't lucid... She was the abosolute most beautiful person I ever saw.. Well here it goes, I was in a different city, it wasn't my own I was sure. It must have lasted about 3days(astral time) and during that time I went to school, and came home and slept ect.Well I met this girl who was extremely wonderful(my dream girl )I absolutely fell in love with her. But unlike you guys I remeber her name. Samantha Thomas..Never actually heard that name before, it kinda confused the hell outta me.

[Uriel]

Tjhands, thanks for sharing such a personal experience. I don't think I could've, but its very encouraging to know that that level of intensity is possible. To answer the topic question, I've never fallen in love in a dream but I have awakened after dreams of romantic intimacy feeling a real sense of loss. None of these were lucid though so the feeling generally fades fast. It must have been rough for you.

[RedStarSoldier]

I remember the girl's name from my dream, too.

Touchy touchy indeed..what is the dreamworld.., ahh yes, nay the dream world is not up your head..it is not only your mind..but then it is, oh prisoners of the mind : P *cough* Let me explain the above: The dreamworld..better known as "The astral plane" is one of planes that the cosmos exists of(7 occording some occult religion), as is the pshysical plane..but all these planes are irrelevant when it comes down to this..exept for the astral plane, the one I am speaking about now. The astral plane is an actual reality, just like this plane, made up out of energy formed into..something, inhabited by its own creatures..its own races, more exotic, more abstract then the pshysical planes inhabitants.. The astral plane is huge..grand..nobody knows how big..or maybe it is just a never ending circle..we have the minimal control there..as we are not supposed to control and mess up the balance..but we cant anyway, the only thing we might have is some super natural personal abilities.. Why do we control LDs then you say? Yes, here is it were I come to the "Prisoner of the Mind" part. Most people, when they dream, are in the astral aswell BUT they inhabit their personal little energy bubble. Which protects them for the astrals outside forces such as deamons. In this little bubble, the mind is in control, and so shall the mind completely shape every aspect of the dream and its contructs having only your own deamons to face. And your own pleasure to create.. Its not a very big group of people that actually leaves that bubble..this is because most people refuse to give up (absolute) control so the astral will not even grand them acces, or they will kicked out immidiatly. The mind/soul is protecting itself because its too weak, to unaware, to ignorant etc of the astral plane. The astral plane refuses acces because somebody is corrupted or has wrong intensions(though some corrupt souls do enter). Or the prison can never be left because one simply does not believe in an astral plane.. So the reason why pshycologists never find proof for the actual reality because they too are prisoners of the mind, of their own bubble. They will probally never get out, as they are too rational. And even a slight doubt might prevent you from entering the actual astral plane. Now this "prison" might seem like a very nice place to be..with such control..fun..etc..but really..truely when are you free..thats a personal opinion that..in your mind..or out there(regardless of what the word prison means) ***note this is an orginally partial occult theory(+some other stuff), I did not create it, for the biggest part : P***

I had quite the opposite of your dream on thursday night. It was like the entire workplace was on some excursion someplace laid on by management, and there was this slightly older woman i quite liked there. She had met up with someone i didn't know (hes ficticious as far as i am aware) and i believed them to be an item. I felt quite saddened by this throughout the dream. I found myself thinking "I wouldn't rescue him from a firewire. I'd rather let him die. Yes I would rescue him. I would do it for sake of her happiness." My thoughts went on like this Golum'esque for quite some. Then i spotted them outside of what appeared to be a dinning hall of the huge hotel complex where we were staying. She went off somewhere and he was standing there waiting. I looked at him and he looked at me for some time. He was much taller than i. I got the impression he knew precisely what i was thinking and he the same. Then she reappeared, took his hand and they walked up the stairs to the guest rooms. That sorta confirmed it to myself and i absolutely sank. Then i walked off thinking about what just happened into the hall and there was lot of activities going on. I sat down upon this wall at one end of the hall, which had quite a drop into this shallow pool where a bunch of kids and presumably their teachers or something were pushing floating squares of something around to form something. I wondered wtf it was and just continued to watch what they were up to. Then to right off me was some girl sitting on the wall, and another to my left. The girl on my right must have been 18 or so i gather. Everytime i glanced she appeared to be sitting closer but without any movement to make that possible. This continued until she her chest laid upon my side . She was quite beautiful - blonde, blue eyes. Not all too different from the older woman. She then said something along the lines of 'Hi i'm not getting much, mind if i help myself?' whilst in between kissing my neck. I then replied 'Might you not regret this later on?' And then she stuck her tongue in my mouth and i could feel it all quite real. I began to respond but my tongue went through hers and touched my front teeth - at this point i began to realise that i was probably doing these actions for real and that i was dreaming. I then had the sudden thought that what if i was actually kissing something else unworldly in my room for real - i then woke up and heard some odd distant bovine sound & saw the clock and it was 5am. WTF was *that* all about?! It made me feel down for the rest of the day, and i was thinking about it on and off today infact. Usually its really good dreams that i've enjoyed that have that 'wow' effect. This one was just plain disturbing.

[Tjhands]

Well here we are....another stinkin' Monday morning! Thanks for all the responses. Some pretty deep stuff posted here!

[RedStarSoldier]

Yup monday does suck... I'm sitting at a school computer now... supposed to be reading stuff about banned books.
