INTERESTING FACT
Dream is a semi-conscious state where we have absolutely no control over our thoughts and expressions (unless we master lucid dreaming). Did you know that most of us spend six years or more of our lifetime dreaming? Research proves that all of us dream at least twice or more in our sleep though we may not remember when we get up. In 5 minutes of waking, half of our dream is forgotten and within 10 minutes, almost all dreams are forgotten. People who are blind from birth too dream. It is just that the dreams of these individuals are formed by other sense such as the touch, smell, sound and taste. During roman era some dreams were even discussed and interpreted in the senate as the dream was considered to be a God sent message for the mankind. Lucid dreams are considered those dreams where person can take full or partial control of their dreams. Most important fact in order to be aware that we are dreaming is practice. Writing down and keeping track of your dreams is very important. Second thing is noticing signs or triggers that can help us stay aware that we are in dreaming state. Once we start dreaming lucidly we could control the imaginary experiences in the dream environment. This is extremely important for people that have nightmares. Interesting facts is that our body is paralyzed during our sleep probably to prevent the body from acting out dreams.

i was driving on a bridge and kept crashing off the side into water, this repeated 4 or 5 times until a friend of mine appeared and we rode a bicycle together. i told him to pull the handles back and we began flying as we were flying i actually yelled "I AM CONSCIOUS INSIDE A DREAM" at the top of my lungs.
in the next dream, i ran into this friend at a festival and began to tell him about my lucid dream in which we were flying a bike, he thought it was weird but some other people over heard me talking to him and began to marvel at the idea of a lucid dream...
i write my cool dreams down so i can remember them
in my experience if a you keep having the same dream, you should try to figure out what it is telling you. my father kept dreaming that he was in a car accident, someone else driving and that at the last moment in stead of ducking he throws himself behind the driver. at he dreamed for years that dream, until he was in a car with his two best friends and a truck suddenly appeared in front of them blocking the way, so he ducked behind the driver and that the only reason he survived, because the part of the car where he would have been went under the truck and was smashed.
as for dreams about stuff you did that day, those are irrelevant, it's just your brain processing the things that happened. (according to Yung - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jung)
and there is a 3d type of dream but i can't remember now..
People are only paralyzed during REM sleep, which only takes up about 20% of the time you are asleep. Your brain cycles through different wave patterns all night, and only during a specific time in these cycles are we paralyzed and dreaming. So, people experience bouts of motility and immobility during the night.
I've had a dream like that more then once one time I was in the car and we were going down hill but in my dream I thought I was falling from a tree. Another time I was in my bed and woke up face down on my bed it was weird because I know I don't sleep walk because that night my mom was in the living room the whole night.
wow i didn't know that 0.0
Strange, I know, but i know through experience for i have. I was 8 at the time and I was walking to the bathroom 2 doors down my hallway when 3 bubbles came down from my ceiling. its quiet silly, but inside each bubble were characters from the Disney Pixar film Toy Story. one of my favorite movies. but not for long. i reached out to touch the character, Woody, and as the bubble popped it grabbed me hard on the arm and i started to panic. i struggled and fought only to find myself in my mother's arms and its was her hand that was grabbing me. she took me to the doctor the next day and found out that i went through shock. strange eh? hah!
I've tried saying the dream I want over and over, but it won't work ):
The same thing has happened to me, more than once
its a wet dream ya homo
i am too 13 and i too have odd dreams, up until last month the only dreams i remember i had were nightmares the latest one whas one in which a pink heart sparkle was a shapeshifter and was determined to kill everyone on the planet by burning them. i now remember my dreams regulary, bfore i only remembered once evry 2-3 weeks,(my life has been very streessful the last two years which resulted in me not remembering)
i remenber all kinds of dreams and even keep a dream journal at my bedside and i write fictional stories about them :D
I've had a similuar experience. I remember sitting in my living room with my dad, the suddenly someone starter banging on our door furiosly. Im not quit shure if this was a dream or real, but its the only thing i remember from when I was around 2-3 years old.
I allso have a friend which woke up pretending he was riding a bicycle in bed. Would that be considered as breaking the paralyzis?
