Have you ever awakened from a dream that felt so real, that you continued to say what you were saying in the dream? Better yet, still completing an action that you had started?
I have had dreams that have merged with my waking world, usually only last a few mins but is very unsettling. When that happens I seem to continue with the actions of the dream I am waking from. The most vivid dream I had to date, I can only remember the end of it; a large meale face (shadowed, could only see the eyes) taking a large breath and exhaling directly at me...I began to wake up as he was exhaling and slamed into my wall about a foot off the bed. Could not sleep for days after that one.

Thank you, Lady.
I'm extremly intrigued by this subject. I, myself, have only experienced a continued thought as of now. But I think I will soon 'move up' to completing actions that I may not be able to control. I guess that's not going to make me the best to sleep with, huh? ;-)
hehe yes it happened to me and this subject interest me very much too,cause I believe in dreams:)
It's happened to me a few times. It was very weird. =)
yeah i had this dream...o0o god was it wierd but i enjoyed it....lol but i belloged to a vampire cult..that you have to get by going through the serers and like yeah ...it was soo wierd but still i loved IT~!!!!!!! theres alot more but i can't say it all cause it was a really long dream.....
i have done something like that but it was more like i seen the thing that was in my dream when i woke up
i have awoken from such dreams..but not all the time ahve i said or acted the dream out in away..some i juss could not be capable of saying or doing something that was happening in the dream..
I have done that before. Quite shocking as well. Not nesicarially uncommon but some what rare to come by..
i dream every night. my dreams are always so wierd.Usualy i dream things that will hapen in future,and actualy my dreams become real.
They could be in diferent place or with diferent "people",but the main feeling is the saim.
I can dream fear or pain,and i realy feel it.
I even dreamed the last day's of my grandfather ,it was a long dream,i dreamed it for a week.
So the world of dreams is just other reality...
It's happened to me before. ^_^ It's really freaky....
yes i have just a few times and i find it very odd too.
i usually have dreams like that when im halucinating so i guess its not really a dream, but then when i wake up i dont know if what happened really happened or not.
I have had dreams like this and it is very upsetting. I have swung at people, cussed at people and so forth. I want go into all the detail, I think it is where the subconcious and concious mind are intertwined and therefore the concious mind has not completely taken over.
yes i have had such dreams. they are both exciteing and scarey . waking up all freaked sometimes then other times wakeing up all omg that was weird but in a cool way. its fun.
i have had dreams that felt real, like a kiss that i can still feel on my lips after i woke up, but never competing an action or anything like that.
i have had dreams that felt so real, then a couple of days later, they came true, and i got that deju-vu feeling
I have also had dreams like this. I only really remember one. In the dream, I was talking to my husband, daniel, and then i got in the shower. He then joined me, but i turned around and it wasn't him. I woke up trying to embrace some stranger that wasnt even there. I have no way of knowing howlong i was in there. the frightening thing is, i could have drowned.
I have had deams like that too, also the DeJaVu feeling.... several times I have had a dream where I get angry with someone close to me, my B/F family whatever... and spend a good part of my day feeling annoyed with them, or just plaint try to pick a fight...and it seems it has to do with left over feelings from the dream....
I've had a dream of flying down on a corner where a drunk was and tearing him to shreds. When I woke up, I went to the very corner, heading to school, where I found a shredded plaid shirt covered with blood. Complete with a broken liquor bottle.
Dreams have continued like that, even to now. Go figure.
Just my two cents.
i never woke up continuing a dream but i have waken up in a dream state and argued with myself over things and i once ended up waking up thinking i had to get ready for school and ended up in the shoer with my clothes on maybe that is continuing a dream..but i didnt member the dream...
I have not had a dream like that and it saddens me. I find dreams fascinating, and there's a lot of stuff bottled up inside my head that I can't figure out. And I believe that dreams could help me figure everything out. But unfortunatly I can't seem to remember any of my dreams. Does anyone have advise on this?
I once had a dream where i was asleep yet at the same time kinda awake. I remember seeing a "monster" or something of that sort on my cieling. But my eyes were open and i was talking out loud during this dream. I know this because my mom came in to check on me because i was talking. So when she came in i started to talk to her while i was "asleep" and "dreaming". In the morning i asked her if she had really come into my room the night b4 and she said she had and she was kinda freaked out about it.
yeah my boyfriend did that the other night. He woke up and was still thinking he was in the dream, walked into where I was on the computer and asked me about blue boxes and wether I'd put them anywhere... I was like "wtf" then he just went "never mind" and went back to bed.... hehehehe was funny!
yes all most all the time that why dont sleep any more
Thank you all for replying. A few of you, that gave somewhat detailed answers, have excited my interest. I guess I should also give a lil tid bit of why I created this post.
The other night, my dream contained elements that pissed me off. So when I went to punch something, I woke up half way through the punch and somehow followed it, but only hitting air. Then, like it has been said, I was in a disgruntle mood for the rest of the day. The only thing that kinda 'creeps me out' is the fact the dreams are becoming more frequent.
*BUMP*
OH NO you don't! This thread's not leaving that fast! ;-)
I absolutely REFUSE to let this thread go to the back burner so easily! *evil grin*
Muawhahahahahaha
Dreams? wow. yeah remember mostly the weird ones.. strange ones.. the ones that you swear really happened.. yeah. .I get it
A little constructive criticism if you please. *smile. May I suggest a 'dream' or rather 'nightmare' journal next to your bedside. I've had 'those' funky dreams for more than about 16 years now.
Watch them enough, sort of outside yourself, without critism and try to see 'what' the underlying freak show really is all about.
The answers could be more horrid than you hope, or less than you'd think. Or worse of them all, no answers at all, but a very cool journal to keep for posterity.
Guess what everyone wants to say is 'that you're not alone.'
Just my two cents.
PS if you wake up with blood on your hands and mouth, like I did, let us know. *wink.
yes many times many times
it was amazing, i wanted to fall back to sleep :))
No my pixie youare just nuts...j/k.I have had the off the wall dreams and i have layed with pixie and stopped a few times while she was dreaming.
Now the real puzzle if you are acting in your dream can you also be hurt in your dreams and they appear on you.
I have actually had to force my body to breath one night cuz i was drowning.....
I had a dream I was running and elbowed someone in the face.. lol
lol one time i went to a lock in with my friend cuz she asked me to go with her and we hung out with these two girls who were really good friends i guess and they fell asleep and they picked their heads up and started talkin to each other then went right back to sleep like they were talkin in their sleep to each other it was funny yet wierd at the same time
Gotta agree dreams can be facinating. Alil window into our inner selves?
Dreams have always contained direction or nudges for me. Hardcore into dream analysis...most of the teachings I have been gifted with are from a Native perspective blended with some intuition. Yummy stuff. For example, dream of water (in it, on it, poured upon) indicated sensuality; blood can indicate a life changing event is around the corner or you are pondering some major changes; house (my fav) can indicate that one may be or are in the midst of some personal growth or regression (depends what is happening with the house...the house represtents you).
Lots of good books and teaching out there about dreams. Cool stuff :-)
~Lady~
Very incitful from both the Ladies. I'm not nuts Nala....jus different :-P~
When I've got more time on my hands...possibly in a couple of months (~woot~), I'll have to get one of these dream books and keep a journal specifically for my dreams/nightmares.
o0o0o and like i had one were i was just about to jump off a cliff..and when i woke up i was standing on my bed..and...well yeah!!!!!!!
I've had these dreams where I'm doing something or other and something happens so that I fall. This actually happened in a lot of my dreams. The strange thing is when I woke up (right before hitting the ground) I would hit my bed as if I was actually falling. It was really wierd. Cool but wierd.
one of the dreams i remember waking up and feel like i was still in the dream was this dream where i was on a road trip with my friends and we were going to this masquerade party... and we stopped at a gas station and there was this creepy clerk at the counter... we got our gas and left... before we left i looked at the wall and saw this gold mask... me and my friends were going to the party and we were all excited and we had our masks and when we got there we were all partying and drinking and then i saw a tall skinny guy with the gold mask... it was the mask i saw in the store... so i walked away... i went by the pool ( in the back yard) and then i was talking to some ppl and then the guy followed me... so i went to my car and i couldnt find my keys... i went to go find my friends but they werent there... so i ran up the street... for some reason i went to the gas station we went to before and it was a lady this time it wasnt that old creepy dude so i asked her do u have a phone i could use... and she said its down stairs in the basement... so stupid me i walk down the stairs and i see sheets or curtains hung up on the ceiling and i walked up to them and looked behind the curtains and there were my friends cut up and one still kinda alive... i freaked out and looked to my left and there was the guy with the mask... he chased me and as i was running up the stairs he grabbed my leg and i woke up with a red mark on my leg and i was out of breath and i was crying
I have had dreams that were frightening, like end of the world dreams... I usually have to have a cigarette to calm my worried ass down. Then there are sensual dreams that when I wake up I want to go and meet that dream person, and then there are the moments that feel like I am in a dream where everything just seems unreal yet I know I am awake, and yet I can't control my reality like I could in my dreams... I wake up and talk to people with my eyes wide open and have conversations with them and then I was told later on that I carried a long conversation for hours and wasn't even awake during that time...
My dreams sometimes are so real, that when i wake up i have to write it down so when it happens i just cross it off the list
No, but I've had dreams that felt so real I did NOT ever want to wake up. *sighs* If only thoses dreams could come true.
i've had dreams so real, they were happening in the next room! Sounds crazy, but i said some of what was said in my dream to my step-mom, and she gave me a funny look.
Yep I have woke up from a dream and was in tears cause I could still feel the pain from it
Wow...my thread still lives! I know there are a few other threads that deal with dreams, such as : preminitons(sp?), sleeptalking, and seeming as if they were reality. Please read what I said when I started this one. I'm talking about actions or thoughts that you wake up in the middle of, and follow through with them. I appologize for those who answered on subject and for those who may not have comprehended my question in entirety.
Now that's off my chest....any more thoughts or experiences?
I want to share an embarrasing moment with you, and make you laugh a lot:P
I once dreamed that I was on the toilet and when I woke up I found my bed wet lol!Call it embarassing!!!lol*blushes*
...hope I don't regret it for posting this lol!!!
...also to remain with the topic had any of you ever controlled his/her dreams or heard it was possible?
I wish that night I did it cause I wouldn't have wet my bed damit!lol
Don't worry, Hun, it has happened to everyone at least once (as an adult). I know I did once shortly after I came home from the hospital a couple of months ago.
lol I agree it happened to some of my friends,but only when they were drunk lol
Just some odd dream things to add..back in the day on a "family vacation" more or less hours on end in the car... sleeping in the back seat... we're cruising down the highway... my brother and myself asleep.. my mom and dad listeneing to Meatloaf... my brother sits up... and nearly screams" stop, we're losing all our luggage!" he was like 10..... he laid back down and went to sleep... as my dad is pulling over to the shoulder... the rest of us were looking around... my mom wakes my bro and asks him what the heck he was thinking... he had no idea he had done it... near as we could tell he was dreaming.... nearly caused an 18 car pile up... but it's always been my fav story to tell whilst trying to annoy him! on another note...I often have those dreams , where I at some point realise I am dreaming... and try as much as I can to control the dream... whenever I have done that .... the dream goes haywire and NEVER turns out how I would want it.... usually a nightmare follows....Dreams rock!
I was over at a friends house one day early in the morning and I fell alseep on her couch, I fell alseep and had a dream I don't remember but I know I was bit in my dream, and I screamed, It was so real I thought I screamed outloud, yet the house was quite and there were pillows all around me like I was in a coffin...
I was working hard for about 3 weeks solid and i ate pizza 2x's a day, (sm zazz, with mush pine, ham or bacon or pep and tomatoes, with 2 to 4 cans of pop) so after working really hard. I came home really tired after work and didnt want to eat and just went to bed, that nite i had a dream that i was ordering a pizza, large with everything on it except for olives and anchovies (i dont like the last two) while in this rem sleep i saw my hand (eyes open) and yet when i closed them i saw the cordless ph i had.
upon hanging up the ph which i did both in my dream and awake.... i heard a knock at the door and junmped out of bed to get it cuz i thought it was the zazz, well it was the neightbor that knocked next door and i was blinded by the afternnon sun shining.
After that i went back to bed where in my dream continued and the zazz came and normally my dreams dont continue, so voer all i had worked toolong with little sleep and this dream was the main cauz of it. i thought it was kinda funny how it happened.
i have those dreams offten sometimes its a little scary but i always like them
Yes! I usually dont have dreams..well i do i just dont remeber having them..but everytime i remeber having a dream that happens to me, its really weird...and i always have weird de ja vous dreams and i like have a dream of something that will happen later and sometimes the actual thing that i dream about wont happen for months and then i rememeber seeing that in my dream
yes, and I have incorporated things going on around me in my dreams and that is weird. Things like the alarm clock, wind blowing, or someone talking while I was in a dream state.
i had a dream once that i was eating a giant marshmellow and when i woke up my pillow was missing
lol @diamond, and yes trouble that happens to me too hehe.
Yes just this morning...I had a dream about......erm I better keep that one to myself ...lol
But the other day...I woke from a nap half eating a biscuit I was dreaming I was eating....the biscuit was imagined but I heard it crunch and my mouth was moving as if halfway through a bite...true...made me laugh..YAY..although now I think about it the crunch could have been one of the several spiders that we are suppossed to consume during or sleep through the years...eww..gross...~cries~
a lot of times i have real life like dreams sometimes i will only see part of one and its kinda like a movie you see only one part of the movie one night and then over the next four nights you see the rest of it and you have to peice the peices together
I get it all the time. It' really upsetting, I'll dream about getting loads of money ior going back stage with a cool band but then wake up thinking it happened and then realize it was just a dream.
i have dreams sometimes that feel sooo real and i get so mad when i wake up and find out that it was just a dream
yes i have had it happen many times it is like really odd i did not know if i was the only one but i have also had dreams that were so real that it like really happened
Yes I have had many dreams, that when i awoke I was still doing or saying what i thought was real., or better yet, many times i thought i was dreaming when something was actually going on.. wont go into detail though sorry..
but yes I believe i have a dream like that at least once a month. One time I was dreaming of eating tootsie rolls,(which i do not like) and when I woke I was trying to eat the feathers from my pillow...
My dreams are fucking wierd, they are soo real like it happining in real life.
Frequently. i take part in coversations when i am asleep and awake to believe they were dreams
lol I just had one last night, how wild
I have them from time to time and days later I will have a conversation with someone about something and realize Ugh once again a dream bled into reality.
That has happend to me before. I have had dreams where it ws so real that I would think what happend in the dream actually happend.
does talking in your sleep count? it's like i sware that i'm sitting down talking to someone and/or doing something and it seems so real. i once had a sex dream and it seemed so real that i was moaning and damn near screaming outload.
freaky, hugh?
