Thread: I get these " Scenes " In my head. Elaborate, anyone?

Sometimes when I fall asleep I get these scenes in my head like a Dream almost except I'm watching it but not aware of it until AFTER I suddenly realise what it is and cause it to Vanish. It sounds confusing, I know but do you know of WHY This happens? What is it? If I get this should I try and WILD? Thanks!

Sounds like dream imagery (hypnagogic imagery). Your mind is heading twoards dreamland. I would give WILD a try.

Ah, Ok, Thank you. I sorta had a feeling it was but wanted to make sure. Thanks again!

I seem to have something like this when I'm really tired and relaxed.

I just somehow end up in a dream I guess but it's not really a dream...I know I'm awake and still feel awake. But I have no control over what I do. And it seems that the only way I wake up is when someone startles me. Like one of these dream things I remember is that I was walking into my kitchen and made a bowl of cereal. Then I stood infront of my stove and accidently dropped it and right before it shattered I woke up and jumped alittle

Edit: I call it an Awake Dream

Daydream. Stage1 methinks. :B

Whew this is normal then. The same thing happens to me I was starting to get afraid that I wasn't capable of dreaming right or something *sigh*

Your dreams are starting to manifest. You dip in and out of coherency during this stage of relaxation/sleep.
