A new lurker ;)

Hey y'all!

My name is Amber. After lurking around for an hour I decided to join. lol
I am a college student studying Computer Science and Japanese. I am very interested in brain activity so I might do that later. I will tell you my experience in why and how I stumbled here.

See...about 6 or 7 years ago (I'm only 21 gosh!) my father had my sister and I help him build a garage. It was extremely hot and I was about to pass out from dehydration so he let us go inside and I fell into a deep sleep. I remember the dream so vividly from start to finish. But as we all know with age our minds could change things so from my understanding this is what I remember:

I was walking down a dark tunnel with this guy. He did not speak we just walked I asked him who he was, he smiled it felt so loving and warm. I asked him where we were going he didn't say anything just smile. He reached for my hand and I could feel it. It was so warm and loving, he was also handsome so I didn't care lol. We continued to walk. We made it to the end I guess and he was beside a portal, on his left (my right) I could see my father going into the game room closet to get my mothers purple microphone. I looked at him and said that I did not want to go I wanted to stay with him. He shook his head and hugged me. It was the most loving and warmest hug I have ever felt. Sure enough my father came in with the purple microphone and woke us up. I ran into the bathroom and broke down in tears, still feeling the warmth all over my body and hands as if he was still there. Praying (for I am Christian, but not one of those crazy one trying to shove my beliefs down people throats. It is what is is and I love everyone :) If you don't like it the :shadewink: ) asking God who was he and if I would ever meet him again, was he my husband, for my mother had us pray for him when we were young (I still do now lol). I didn't receive an answer. So I began to start my search, after numerous books and lessons and dreams and whatnot my mother told me she had a miscarriage before me and they didn't know what it was. Other Christian books say if the child did not have a name and met you in a dream and you asked they would be able to tell you their name because they don't have one. They would also look like the other parent. My sister and I have my fathers colour, the guy was light like my mother and built like my mothers side tall and strong structure.

Sooo to end the story I just want to know who this guy is...I'm a Virgo and I hate to not have any logical answers...lol I've always had Deja Vu dreams and whatnot I really didn't care about those...sad to say lol I've been in a few sleep paralysis and also wanted to know what that was about...like to have freaked out and died lol -_-"

But any-who...so sorry for the long into... also forgive my country grammar I'm from the deep south Mississippi :shadewink:

Welcome to Dreamviews! :)

Your dream sounds very interesting. I can't give you any answers as, well, it's your dream, but I think you should attempt to recreate the dream to find out more. You never know! :)
Anyhow, good luck with future dreams, and indeed, becoming Lucid. Have a look at the "Attaining Lucidity" section of the website for pointers and background info, plus detailed guides from respected members of the community.

Ah! Looks like a Dream Character (DC), or he is maybe your dream Guide (DG). I am not a Christian, so I really don't know what that has to say about this.

If you really want to meet him then just become lucid (not that easy, well, at least for me) and try to call him.

No, you don't die. But yes you can get freaked out (HA,HH).

...Evidently, however, you're grammar isn't! :P
(Just kidding mate) :)

Welcome AiOjou! :)

I had the cause of lucid dreaming as my school project some years ago and well I have used that knowledge to understand how to benefit from that in my practise.

So as a warm welcome I'll give you an intro to the brain chemistry of lucid dreaming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93U3FHD__LY

Don't think it reduces awareness to a system of the brain though, no no this is just one of the very meanings of the word awareness, because it is a very ambigious word.

For me awareness is something much more special.

Anyway.. interesting dream ;) I once had a dream that seemed to go on for a whole day (even though it was late night), and well I also met the person of my dreams, girl in my case. And well I like to think of her as a representation of something, what it is I haven't figured out yet. I hope you figure out the meaning of your dreamguy though. :content:

And don't worry about the long intro, it's always interesting to read about other people's experiences. ;)

Sweet dreams to you and enjoy your stay. Also remember to always ask if you need help with something. :smartie:

Welcome Nig. :shadewink:

Thank y'all all so much for the warm welcomes!

as for the video thank you oh so much for it :) I love learning bout anything brain related and that just woke something in me! I would love to know about your dream girl MasterMind if that's okay! I have been trying to look into people's dream journals but I guess they are down or something as well as some of the wikis ...

I have been researching bout going lucid and whatnot but after my few times being in sleep paralysis I'm a little scared, and that was without knowing what it was at first lol Down south we say "you had a witch on ya back" it happens when you are being lazy or sleep on your tummy. The times it has happened was in the summer it.

I don't know if y'all watch or like Japanese dramas but Akumu chan is what got me back interested in Lucid dreaming for it is circled around this girl and woman who lucid dream as well as have nightmares which predict the future. It sort of reminded me of myself with my Deja vu dreams and the dream about that guy.

Welcome to Dream Views :)

I am glad you liked it. ;)

The information sort of give some insights to why people say that WILD provides the most aware, vivid and stable dreams, why WBTBs is so effective and how you can use this information to your advantage. :rolleyes:

My dream girl story is a very tragic one, (Spoiler Alert) it ends with her dying in my arms. :( I both met and lost her in the same dream, and I can easily used that dream as inspiration to a book or something, it was very mixed emotions in the dream and I was very involved in each dream scene. When my dream journal is back up I can try to find it for you. :)

Also a note about sleep paralysis because it is important that you get the information from the start.

Sleep paralysis is a very ambigious term, but what I think you refer it to as has one misconception. Sleep paralysis isn't you awake hallucinating that you see a witch on your back an alien abduct you etc. As the last example clearly shows but that people don't think about, is that at all times you experience something strange it's always in a dream! You just dream that you are in your bed, your sofa whatever and you think you see or feel a witch on your real back.

So whenever you experience the so called sleep paralysis, get up! You're in a dream...:)

Anyway I'll see you later and I'll give you my description of my dream girl when I can. ;)
