I was hit start on by it. The crackling of fires, the wailing and crying of utter pain. A voice broke through saying to me "death is coming" Then another voice said "We are immortal, we can not lose." Voices talking to me on all sides. "come join us. Help us beat them. You hold the key. You will help us. You are on of us. Fight for us."All around, all different voices. I felt torn, so i did nothing. Then the screams and wails got louder. I could feel my body start to jerk upwards, like when you have a bad cough and you are lying down. I started to feel it, the pain of nations, of their people I failed to help. I felt myself satrt to cry. I wanted to get out, to stop the meditation, but I couldn't. In my mind i ran, I ran and ran and ran. I wanted to open my eyes, but found that I couldn't. Finally I was released and I could open my eyes, and I just curled up into a little ball and cried.I could feel the pain, suffering and death. I knew that somewho I had failed both sides, both people and for that I had destroyed a world. It was my fault. I killed them. I caused them to suffer because I would not choice a side to aid. If I had joined a side, I could have ended the war, but in the end, the war ended the world. The blood of my peoples are upon my hands. All of these thoughts just kept swirling around in my head.

I had a dream about a penguin with leopard spots. It was walking around my backyard laying these large eggs and dropping them everywhere. One was sliding towards the swimming pool and I tried to save it but it went in. It rolled down to the deep end of the pool. I dove in to save it and tried several times, coming up for air. I finally got down to the egg but it cracked in my hand and the yolk fell out. I felt so bad, I got out of the pool crying and I went to apologize to the penquin and told it that I killed its baby. It said something to me in portuguese. It must have been something comforting, because I felt not so bad after that.

I had a dream where I was on a business trip and all my co-workers were there. My boss called me to the side because he needed to talk to me. I went over there and he informed me that I was fired. I got upset and ran to the room I was staying in and hid. Everyone that walked passed I would get there attention and tell them not to tell the boss I was hiding back there.

Dreamt recently that my friend had gone crazy and stolen a drag racing car. I was in the car, and we drove to this harbor/dock area where there was a drawbridge, and stopped. She told me to get out and look around to make sure there were no guards patrolling the area (guards!?) and so I got out and saw some security guards going around the harbor in a cart, and proceeded to distract them. As soon as they were distracted, I sprinted back to the car and she told me to get in. I remember she was wearing a tight pink skirt. She was going to jump the drawbridge. We backed up for about 30 seconds in order to have more room, and the drawbridge started rising. When it was completely up, she stepped on the gas and we were going really fast, especially since it was a drag racing car a la "Fast and the Furious". When we were going up the drawbridge I realized we were on a bridge in the sky...which was really weird. When we were about to jump the bridge, there were other cars at the top of it, and we crashed into them and our car with my friend and all the other cars with their people fell off the bridge to their doom, while I opened my car door and hung onto the bridge with my fingers, as if I were hanging onto a cliff. I tried to pull myself up, but couldn't find the strength, and every time the bridge went up and down, my fingers were crushed. That's the last thing I remember before waking up.

I had a dream where I saw my cousin's W2. Apparently, in my dream she had earned $295,000 in 2001. She is a very attractive actress who has done a few commercials and has had smaller roles on TV shows and movies. Her presence wasn't in the dream but I could see her father opening the W2 envelope and revealing her income.

There was no envy in me, but I was in awe.

I have this reoccuring dream: I am walking past this church, and I see a lot of people standing around and talking. So, I walk over to see what is going on. It looks like it's just a "social hour" among the members of the church. I look up, and on top of the church, there is this gargoyle crouched over with his wings in a 'circular' position around it's body. All of a sudden, ligthning strikes and the gargoyle (sp?) comes to life and everyone starts to run frantically, bumping into eachother. I stand still and watch this thing of stone, turn into flesh and blood. After the "transformation" is complete, it flys off it's post and swoops down and pics on the people down below him. I still stand still.

**Then I wake up. Any thoughts?

This is sort of a continuance of Seans post about lucid dreaming. I have done a lot of reading about this and aspire to achieve a certain ability with it but as of yet have only achieved it for a few seconds on a few occasions.
Lucid dreaming can be achieved with persistance and through a few means. Recording your dreams is deffinitely an integral part of it. Something else that helps is periodically during the day asking your self, " Am I dreaming?" Look for signs each time you ask yourself that you as to whether you are dreaming or awake. One sign is that words in dreams are often garbled OR change if you look away and then look back at them. Anyway, ask your self if you are dreaming several times a day. With this habit in your consciousness it is likely that your brain will bring up the question during sleep and you will realize you are dreaming.
As a variation on this, some people will set a soft one beep alarm (like on a digital watch) to go off periodically during the day as the cue to take a reality check. Then when the watch beeps during sleep it cues the subconscious to take a reality check during a dream.
Of course, different methods will work better for different people.

Sometimes what I see in my dreams happen in real life not long after I've dreamt it. It's really weird, like I'll be like standing somewhere, looking at something and I realize that I'd seen it in a dream, and then I find my self knowing things before they happen, isn't that odd?

I had a right before fall asleep dream. The spirt of God was searching and i was angerly pointing my finger at him and lead others that where doing the same.

Okay......this so just freaked me out. I just stumbeled upon this page, and I haven't looked at my dream journal in a while, so I pulled it out.
Dec 17th/2001
I was inside of a house, at the top of a balcony. 2 girls, who I don't know in realife but seemed to know in my dreams were with me. Their was this guy..Clint Eastwood, who would kill us if we were unprotected.
~~~~~~~`
It goes on, but it's the guy's name, Clint Eastwood, I want to focus on. Now, for those of you who aren't pop-culture savy, Clint Eastwood is actually a song by the Gorrilaz. But the thing is, I didn't know that back then. I only found out the name of that song a week ago, when I bought the Big Shiny Tunes 6 cd. Just today, a bit before I wrote this, I was writing down the lyrics to the song. I had long forgotten about this dream. And then, here it is. Freaky, eh?

I want to respond to the most recent guest post with information about "lucid dreams" which I read about in a magazine on my way up to NYC, where I am for a few short days right now. Lucid dreaming is knowing that you're dreaming while you're doing so. The term was coined by 19th century Dutch psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden, who spent the better part of his life thinking up theories about dreams and dreaming. It's being aware of what is going on in your dream, so you can control your dream self. Lucid dreaming is also a skill that can be developed over time by, guess what, recording your dreams right after they happen, which means coming to this site more, or keeping your own personal dream journal. The key is to record the dreams right away, and not wait. Lucid dreams can be used as a tool to overcome nightmares, fulfill fantasies, overcome phobias, and even work through grief after a crisis. If you're interested in this type of dreaming, there is a link to dmoz dreams section on the left side of the page which may interest you.

Im glad I found this site because for sometime now when I dream I realize while I'm dreaming that I can control it..Its very strange when its happening. Like if I dont like the dream or something is scarying me, I will simply turn on a light or open a door and I know I will wake up. Does anyone know what this means? Its like Im awake subconscienly while I dream,, its weird..can anyone give me some info on this?
