When we awake all dreams are gone rar

What usually starts off for me is when I am about to drift off, you can feel some kind of presence in the room,and you feel like some weird gravity is pulling you out of your bed, and its pretty kool.

I usually hear like a siren, or something trying to pull me. It's all a game of that sense when your going to have that nightmare and you wake yourself up, rather than staying in your dream". Thats what it is, but this time your not dreaming, you just can't move, all you gotta do is just hang out and try to pay attention to whats going on so you can remember it later, which is hard like when it comes to dreams.

I thought I share this, seems to be safe and free of consequences. Recently I had this uncoventional trip that can last for like a long 5 minutes. I have had this dream trip so many times, I am for real. Its kind of like those wierd dreams where you are impressed you can remember that weird flying Alien in your dream with disco lights around, stuff like that.

Well anyways, I guess I have Narcolepsy. Old thread, but I thought I'd repost considering I just found it again while googling, and have learned more about it since then.. First of all, it isn't narcolepsy. I do have ME, but that doesn't explain this and other's with ME don't seem to experience it.

I do know one other person who goes through a similar thing, although not as strongly. He gets sleep paralysis while waking up, I get it while going to sleep.

Recently i've been slipping into dream during the process of getting to sleep aswell, i'll be resting in bed, and all of a sudden, i'll think i'm doing something.. Another thing that seems to be unique to me is my creativity going into overdrive before sleep, i'll conjure up new faces and places in my mind instantly with incredible detail.. As for a cause for this, I have no idea. I'm hoping that it's a result of having ME, or at least being worsened by it..

ME does affect sleep in different ways.. Messily written, hadn't planned it out.. And although mine are more dreamlike than what that article suggests, it is a very similar description to what someone above wrote.. I'm surprised this was so hard to find. This is interesting in the sense that it shows how realistic unconscious projections can become. The dream can generate its own reality into which the conscious person can enter and take part in. It makes you wonder what percent of the average person is in touch with reality.

Just the subjectivities of normal cultural existance would indicate reality can often become nothing more than a collective belief system. As long as everyone is in the same subjective dream we will call that reality.

A good example is fashion. When the new styles appear, these magic articles of cloth give the wearer strength and poise. When you look back at the power clothes of the past, some of it looks quite silly, i.

Typically one sees that connection only after they awaken from one collective dream and have entered a new one. People show all the signs of being awake while interacting in a collective dream. Maybe the principle of sleep walking apply; it is better not to wake them. I think fashion generally is more about human boredom with aesthetics, than with a cultural delusion, or daydream. People have, for quite some time, craved for fashion, design, architectural, etc, change for the sake of change.

Obviously we could live quite well and without a problem if we all dressed in blue overalls, or just practically not fancily for an environment. Fashions are just, well, nice, but not a true necessity. I think delusion comes into it when you see someone dressed like an outlaw biker for example. When of course, in reality, they are as frail as you and me.

Or, an overweight middle aged woman, dressed like she is a 17 year old love goddess, in skin tight jeans and top, for example. I once realised I was going into a dream-like state while sitting at my desk, I'd missed a night's sleep immediately before so I was struggling to stay awake but it was strange because my eyes were open at the time.

I snapped out of it immediately. But after the run my vision was still kind of blurry — so lucky me I got to miss the maths assessment that was next. Sometimes I wake up and moments before I go to my destination I can dream for 15 - 30 minute periods of time and I'm not actually sleeping I don't really understand the whole concept of the human mind, I've hallucinated once when I was 6 and still don't understand how or why I saw what I did Be careful about diagnosing yourself as having narcolepsy.

Depending on your residence, you may be reported to the authorities and lose your driver's license. If you have a serious concern about it, you should see a sleep doctor. There is a fairly straightforward test to determine if you do have it and there may be therapies available.

A man was charching me to kill me. I woke myself up trying to talk. When I sat up my dream did not go away. I could see it right infront of me.

But because these hallucinations seem so vivid, they can seem especially disturbing and frightening. While anyone can experience hypnopompic hallucinations, they are more common in people who spend more time in REM sleep. This can be due to sleep deprivation, certain medications like tricyclic antidepressants, or even sleep disorders like narcolepsy.

Sleep paralysis affects up to 5 percent of the population. Related: 7 Crazy Things That Happen When You Sleep You can try to cut down on the hypnopompic hallucination episodes by reducing your risk factors for them—namely, sleep deprivation.

If you are lying there awake, you can simply occupy your mind with something while moving your intent into images of where you want to go while awake. Try to force your mind to remember something; think about how to do something, a complicated recipe, etc. Begin by using the left eye as a focal point, until you can learn to change the vision in that eye separately from the right.

I know that sounds impossible, but it isn't nearly as hard as you might think. After all, musicians learn circular breathing, which just amazes me. Your awareness will split, you will become aware of both energies and be able to move with either.

Your intent should carry you. Once you can feel the separation in attention between the field of vision on the left and right eye, you will need to add intent to the mix in order to create an actual split and movement of your energy. Begin by pushing it into an intent to see something, go somewhere, etc. Feel the intent to, say, go look at the dirt pattern on your license plate - seriously, then you can verify. It doesn't count if it ain't real.

Just reinforce the intent, then allow the first images to intrude - you'll find the split right about there. Once you have this 'feeling' you can do other things, but right now starting there is the best approach. Don't try to cross the globe on your first movement, although there are some people who sort of jump that way. The first things I learned to use it for were strictly informational; going, seeing, learning - then verifying. Once you have the verification at a hundred percent, start moving through time.

Go back and look at your birth. Go back and look at your mother's birth, whatever you're into, historical events, etc. You force the awareness into that space by creating a distraction for the conscious mind, i. All those are methods that shift awareness from direct conscious action and towards the dreaming side of awareness.

I don't care what you use in the beginning, but you must occupy your mind in two directions at once , splitting the awareness in a way which allows it to connect with your stated intent. Some people pick it up very quickly, others take a long time. But, I think in the beginning you can at least gather together the sensation of the movement, and I wouldn't try this while driving.

Settle in somewhere quiet and work with it. I've led healing journeys with this method, and people seem to catch on to it fairly quickly; but if the entire scene comes into focus, claiming your total awareness, don't fight it, just patiently work with it. I know it's a little hard to grasp because we're moving beyond purely verbal understandings, but once you start it becomes much more clear. Then when you get it down to a snap of the will, you can move anywhere, anytime.

There is no one doorway to learning, just that with some you open them and fall down a flight of stairs first. I try to keep people on level ground as long as possible.

I am not sure if I was doing it tonight or not. I was meditating, but it wasn't like any meditation I have done before. I was very much awake but with my eyes closed and a lot of dreaming imagery, almost with story lines, etc. Was this awake dreaming; can it happen like this? So overestimates might be expected. Beyond this, it does not seem that surveys can find out much. There are no very consistent differences between lucid dreamers and others in terms of age, sex, education, and so on Green ; Gackenbach and LaBerge For many people, having lucid dreams is fun, and they want to learn how to have more or to induce them at will.

One finding from early experimental work was that high levels of physical and emotional activity during the day tend to precede lucidity at night. Waking during the night and carrying out some kind of activity before falling asleep again can also encourage a lucid dream during the next REM period and is the basis of some induction techniques.

They roughly fall into three categories. This is done on waking in the early morning from a dream. You should wake up fully, engage in some activity like reading or walking about, and then lie down to go to sleep again.

A second approach involves constantly reminding yourself to become lucid throughout the day rather than the night. This is based on the idea that we spend most of our time in a kind of waking daze. If we could be more lucid in waking life, perhaps we could be more lucid while dreaming. It takes a lot of determination and persistence not to forget all about it.

This kind of method is similar to the age-old technique for increasing awareness by meditation and mindfulness. Advanced practitioners of meditation claim to maintain awareness through a large proportion of their sleep. TM is often claimed to lead to sleep awareness.

So perhaps it is not surprising that some recent research finds associations between meditation and increased lucidity Gackenbach and Bosveld The third and final approach requires a variety of gadgets.

The idea is to use some sort of external signal to remind people, while they are actually in REM sleep, that they are dreaming. This sometimes caused them to incorporate water imagery into their dreams, but they rarely became lucid. He eventually decided to use a mild electric shock to the wrist. Meanwhile, in California, LaBerge was rejecting taped voices and vibrations and working instead with flashing lights. The original version was laboratory based and used a personal computer to detect the eye movements of REM sleep and to turn on flashing lights whenever the REMs reached a certain level.

Eventually, however, all the circuitry was incorporated into a pair of goggles. The idea is to put the goggles on at night, and the lights will flash only when you are asleep and dreaming.

The user can even control the level of eye movements at which the lights begin to flash. The newest version has a chip incorporated into the goggles. This will not only control the lights but will store data on eye-movement density during the night and when and for how long the lights were flashing, making fine tuning possible. LaBerge tested the effectiveness of the Dream Light on 44 subjects who came into the laboratory, most for just one night.

Fifty-five percent had at least one lucid dream and two had their first-ever lucid dream this way. The results suggested that this method is about as successful as MILD, but using the two together is the most effective LaBerge There are a few people who can have lucid dreams at will. And the increase in induction techniques has provided many more subjects who have them frequently. This has opened the way to using lucid dreams to answer some of the most interesting questions about sleep and dreaming.

How long do dreams take? In the last century, Alfred Maury had a long and complicated dream that led to his being beheaded by a guillotine. He woke up terrified, and found that the headboard of his bed had fallen on his neck. From this, the story goes, he concluded that the whole dream had been created in the moment of awakening.

This idea seems to have got into popular folklore but was very hard to test. Researchers woke dreamers at various stages of their REM period and found that those who had been longer in REM claimed longer dreams. LaBerge asked his subjects to signal when they became lucid and then count a ten-second period and signal again. Their average interval was 13 seconds, the same as they gave when awake.

Lucid dreamers, like Alan Worsley, have also been able to give accurate estimates of the length of whole dreams or dream segments Schatzman, Worsley, and Fenwick As we watch sleeping animals it is often tempting to conclude that they are moving their eyes in response to watching a dream, or twitching their legs as they dream of chasing prey.

But do physical movements actually relate to the dream events? Early sleep researchers occasionally reported examples like a long series of left-right eye movements when a dreamer had been dreaming of watching a ping-pong game, but they could do no more than wait until the right sort of dream came along. Lucid dreaming made proper experimentation possible, for the subjects could be asked to perform a whole range of tasks in their dreams.

In one experiment with researchers Morton Schatzman and Peter Fenwick, in London, Worsley planned to draw large triangles and to signal with flicks of his eyes every time he did so. While he dreamed, the electromyogram, recording small muscle movements, showed not only the eye signals but spikes of electrical activity in the right forearm just afterward. This showed that the preplanned actions in the dream produced corresponding muscle movements Schatzman, Worsley, and Fenwick The question about eye movements was also answered.

The eyes do track dream objects. LaBerge was especially interested in breathing during dreams. This stemmed from his experiences at age five when he had dreamed of being an undersea pirate who could stay under water for very long periods without drowning. Thirty years later he wanted to find out whether dreamers holding their breath in dreams do so physically as well.

The answer was yes.
