Thread: Taking Things Out Of Your Dreams

Sometimes when I LD and there is something cool in the dream I like- clothes, a purse, etc. I'll think, "If only I could take this thing with me when I wake up." Wouldn't that be awesome if we could do that?!

That would be very cool!
Let's just say I'd have a little more money

It reminds me of dreaming about searching for a bathroom and finally finding one after what seems like hours of searching. Only to wake up and have to do it again, only if it was transfered to waking life I would be able to go back to sleep.

I wish I could've done that in an LD I had recently.

I was in the house out in the country where I grew up. I realized I was dreaming (that house is a dreamsign of mine) so I decided to go explore it. I walked into the house to see everything exactly how it looked when I lived there as a child. I went upstairs to my bedroom and went over to my dresser. Sitting on it was a music-box mirror that played "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as a little white dove danced and spun over the mirror's surface. I thought to myself - "wow! I haven't seen this thing in ages! I forgot all about it!" I wished I still had it in real life.

I woke up, sad that I don't still have it. That would've been what I picked to bring back out of a dream.

I used to get a lot of stuff in a few dreams of mine. When I woke up, and I noticed that I didn't have it anymore, I always felt a little disappointed.

I used to have a reoccuring dream. I would dream of a magical orb that I always felt like I had it before... it made me feel like I am at home with it. It had that loving warming feeling. I would often try to get it and when I am about to get it, I would wake up find myself sleep walking to get it. I wanted it so bad and I would be very mad that I didn't have it with me in real life.

I remember even falling out of bed trying to get that orb while sleep walking. With this dream, I always catch myself sleep walking and one day, I got the orb and teleported to the most wonderful rainbow-like sky cityscape in the cloud and I never had this dream again, nor do I catch myself sleepwalking again.

Even if I don't have those dreams again, I still find myself missing it even if it doesn't exist in real life. I would die for it if i have to, strange, but true. Have anybody ever had something like that... a special object in the dream that you wish you could bring over to your real life and you know that it's not possible in real life? Like my magical orb? I still miss it horribly and I dreamt of that when I was before ten (22 now :/). Weird eh?

*sighs* I want to dream of that magical orb again... thanks for refreshing my childhood memory... mmm...

When I was younger, I wanted to take objects out of dreams. Now I don't care much about materialistic stuff, though.

Younger it happened a lot. The special toy you wanted, etc.

Now that I'm older, it's either a Ferrari/Porche/Motorcycle or a particular woman. I wake up wishing I could take them out of my dreams for sure!

I used to have these dreams quite a bit.

I would become lucid and find these objects that I wouldn't normally have anything to do with in waking life, like a violin or a small pet bird, etc. And for some reason I would want so badly to still have these things when I'd wake, but alas, never happens. I'd also feel greatly depressed for about a minute upon waking up. weird. what would i want with a damn violin?

aye! if one could take a ...(oh my god i forget the world)... time.. TIME MACHINE!! if one could take a time machine out of ones dream, one could do anything! or... if one watched the movie Time Machine... one may not want to do that.... OR one could take a ... teleporter and GO anywhere.. which would be fun too!


~R~

SUch a thing would probably be bad for someone like me.
Oh the twisted things I would bring into this world.

You're so minimalistic and deep.

When I was seven-ish, I had a dream that I actually owned a gameboy (I really wanted one at the time). When I woke up and didn't have it anymore, I nearly killed myself from the agony!

I believe it is possible when one's spiritual level is sufficiently high. (for example, maybe you could get gods/devas to give you things in dreams which you need in the waking world)

I have never experienced this as my spiritual level is low

Oh I don't believe in that stuff, I'm a born-again Christian. I just thought it was a fun topic to talk about. The responses were very entertaining.

that sounds like a load of bullshit. If a god was going to give you something (unlikely) why would you have to dream about it first? Seems somewhat fictional to me.

From what I've read (Ajaan Mun's biography; he is a Thai Buddhist monk and guru who has passed away), a monk (not Ajaan Mun himself) described an encounter with a female deity (You can call her an angel. To Hindus and Buddhists, she would be a deva/god). The female deity said she could manifest in physical form too, appearing no different physically from you and me.

I suppose for some reason or other (maybe it is just easier for some people to communicate with gods/devas/angels through dreams than in the waking world), some deities find it easier to communicate with some people through dreams.

It's alright. I'm just here to share what I know (or what I think/believe I know). It need not be accepted. Cheers

Everything has to come from a dream because without them we would have no goals. Now if you are talking about dreams as in sleeping and having them then yes your right.
Well i do always have dreams about what i want and that but i never get worked up about it. I also don't remeber having dreams about a desire of wanting becuase all my dreams were always nightmares.

You suck at life.

Everything does NOT have to come from a dream (or aspiration, which is what I think you mean). I can think of plenty of things I have that came as a complete suprise and had nothing to do with the goals in my life.
