heres an idea to tickle your pickle.
when a person dreams, and they wake from their dream, the dream ceases to exsist. hints forth, its dead. now what id i asked: what if we were part of someone elses dream, a bigger being, or even another humans dream. and they wake, is that how people die? another person wakes from theyre dream? whats your thoughts?
Very interesting.
I don't know what to type.
I like your thought.
who know it could be
truely a worthy question to ponder
I was stumped on this one also. I will not have to sit back and think about it.
lol. wow, got me stumped on that one. lol. i suppose that there is a very very VERY small possibility that that cud be. i have had dreams about ppl dieing. some i faintly knew and others i have nvr seen b4 in my life. and then a while later i hear that they have died. it scares the shit out of me but it has happened. i personally think its just coinsidence but idk
I don't believe there's a correlation between the two at all. Dreams are just subjective experiences of imaginary images, sounds/voices, words, thoughts or sensations during sleep. A lot of the time formed from what occurs during our day, thoughts we have going on in our head (either consciously or subconsciously), or interpretations of what our psyche thinks we should do with what's at hand. http://www.dreams.ca/ is a good site to learn more about dreams. Good luck with your quest/question/answers.
for the ppl i have nvr seen b4 eccept in my dreams, i only recognize them cuz i end up seeing them in a newspaper or television. thats how i recognize them from my dreams
i like how you think ive wondered that myself at times. i really dont know. but its intersetsing. spelled that wrong lol.
that confused me just to read it let alone think about it but what i did understand is that you are a very deep thinker
When I was a child I had an obsession for a while, that I was the dream of someone who had been in a coma, for the amount of years I had been alive, and I was helping keep them alive as something to focus on, but I knew I would die when they awoke.
So yes, I dont knwo if I actually blieve it now, but i do think that its a fascinating thing... and quite scary!
Ahhhhhh...... a wonderful enigma!!!!!
But I have a question.....
What if all this... is your dream?????
Will your question be answered?
Ponder that......
What if everything you know, saw, learned, felt, touched...was a figment of MY imagination???
Thought I'd be a smartass
If this is all a dream, then my question owuldn't really be answered, I would just have to live anther life, and another, and another...
I don't think there is a connection between the two. Just like the old saying "If you dream of your death then you will die" that is not true. So dreams are just dreams. Some people remember them and some don't.
Well, I thought it was mor philosophical and theoretical than fatual...
what an excellent thought i enjoyed that at times i have had similar thoughts like with alien ant farm i like that lol who ever is having my nightmare i wish the bugger would either wake up or need to take a leak lol
I never tought dreams and death are connected in that way, i do think that when we dream we are closer to the other side... but i have one idea...
what if our Plannet is only a proton in an atom of tabaco in a cigarete of some God (let`s call him like that for now) maby we are just waiting for the cigarete to burn out... And who knows how many smaller worlds we wanquish by lighting one cigarete....
toughts?
Banshee, you know you said that just as I lit a cigarette :-)
Were not just killing ourselves, were killing EVERYONE!
that is for sure...
just wanna say that i`m sorry that i went of topic. Blkholsuhn, i realy am...
Ppl, let`s not make it `The smokers club`
this is not the place...
:-P
It aways peturbs me when I watch 'Men In Black' wen at the end, our galaxy turs out to be a marble in an aliens game.
That is the best scene in the whole mouvie! My fav! Taht is what i was thinking up there!
You never know, why we all sleep, could could be Tyler Durden...
Getting bit more onto topic about dreams, it would indeed be an interestig system if every time we woke up we were a different person... what sort fo law enforcement could we have?!
I really dont think that it has anything to do with death. It is a nice thought though.
I saw a mouvie, i forgot what it was called...it was a lonf time ago...in witch every night they changed all the lives of the ppl in the city, i mean the memories and all.. Think of it, one day you are a teacher of geography, with four children and a wife at home, and the neht day you are a stripper in a club...and ofcourse you dont remember your past ocupations, relationships, actualy you remember nothing...
the dreams of another wouldnt really account for your dreams because they are yours and not someone elses also in your dreams do you feel pain ????So why do we feel it here???
Very interesting thought,, I would have to say that it could be possible.
Very interesting indeed. I remember having a conversation with my father about humanity, and he refered someone's thaught about we, human race, being a dream of some God.
It's a very intriguing subject for me. I don't know where I read this, but there was a man who said:"I drempt I was a butterfly...Am I a man thet drems to be a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming to be a Man?"
I don't think it's directly related to death, but I think I understand what you mean: If I dream an entire life, and when I wake up I have an etirely different life (there are documented cases about this - I guess is called paramnesia), if one of my lives dies in the dream, who is really allive? Is a part of me missing? I could go on and on rambling about this...
That movie is called Dark City, Banshee, and is a damn good one.
-brain falls out on floor-
wow thats creepy i may never sleep again.
im not sure if i believe you can dream someone elses dream, i think they are a figment of out subconcious.
-sings- a dream is a wish your heart makes, when your fast asleep...
lol
thats a really good question but i wouldnt know i dont dream.
the way i see dreams is that...anything that happens during that day...it has something to do in my dream...like when i have talked to a person that i haven't seen in like a long while...i end up dreaming of something with that person in it...and its not just people...its like other things as well...and then i get deja vu sometimes...i dunno my dreams for me are so hard to explain...its so weird...but what a good topic to bring up and ponder about!
no. dreams are just figments of our imagination. but then again is it? ask yourself that. is it really real or not?
You're very imaginative but I don't think it could be true. Dreams don't 'know' they are dreamt. The characters you dream about aren't real, they have no emotions. YOU create them. Give them personality. That would mean we're created by someone else. A dreamer. And that we aren't true:)
sounds like u have put alot of thought into this,,,i commend u on ur effort,,,i really dont know whut to say about that
wow omg!! This forum just fucked my head up because I swear my wife asked me this the other day and I didnt know what to say. I mean the thought of that is so crazy and to much for my brain to handle lol.
Hmmm..... very interesting but I think it can be a lot of other reasons.I'seen persons in my dreams who I've never seen before,but I don't think I was in their dreams.
BUT I don't ignore the possibility that someone entered in my dreams.....
I suppose it depends on whether the body really is a vessel for the mind.
Hmmm.... could be.Also once I read somewhere that our spirits come out of our bodies when we dream bah....
I tend to see dreams as more of a link to our subconcious pespective, but then again, I did study psychology for a while :-)
*is envious* I wanted to do that course!!!
Anyway I agree with you,and in Italy there's a song which says: I sogni son desideri(Dreams are desires)hehe but then again certain dreams are really strange and they let you think.
I didnt really enjoy it that much, apart form the dream studies :-)
when you dream of a person its a subconscious projection of this person so if you wake up and the dream ceases to exist only the subconscious projection of the being ceases to exist, not the real one
: smoke out the ears!:
: smoke out the ears!:
really good one.
when you dream and you look into a mirror and you ssee another person maybe just maybe it is a glimpse into the future or maybe just maybe your seeing someone elses life as it is or is going to be? there is something to think about
what if dreams are projections of your self you are trying to get rid of
but yet what if the dream istn a dream at all instead a past life in which you tune into it every night that would explain a person who does not realy dream they are a new soul
Very deep and interesting..i dont know really what to say but i get a weird feeling when i think about that...
ya know, that scares me just a tiny bit.. because I try not to kill so I can be whole for my spells and such.... but if you kill every time you wake, then your unable to prevent it from darkinging your aura....
haha...i like your thinking. i mean if you think about it. it sounds possible. but if that were true and it could be proven. would we all cease to exist?
Wow, ponder that one for awhile . If true, hope mine doesn't wake anytime soon!
intriguing....... I've sometimes wondered if all I am is nothing more than a mentally ill person's derangement, and therefore I wouldn't exist at all except in that person's mind. This can be applied to bigger things, like what if everything is just something that whatever created in its mind?
fascinating post.
I tell you this... I don't know if we're all part of someone's dream... but I can assure you one thing... if we are... it's one hell of a complicated dream... think of all the people there are in it!
It is quite a scary though. Maybe its all just the Matrix :-P
i have asked many a person this same question,,hence my friends always joke that im a tad abnormal an strange,,,,
i like to think im just the product of someones warped imagination,, like to think they could wake up any time soon and end the nightmare,, must say tho,, whoever's dream i am in if anyones,,,, they have a very fucked up imagination and i recommend admitance to a mental institution..*giggles*
But why would awakening end it?
Dreams ar eso often in first person, then why wouldn;t you just wake up as someone else? I see this as th most probable answer.
How do people stay in comas for so long, and claim that they have 'memories'?
Th brain needs someting to keep going, and maybe thats us...
auctually there's case where people lose their memories and create new complicated memories....
Sometimes these memories are so complex and detailed, and yet the person has never been there, that they are accredited with being from a past life....
Which means if you believe in past lives you can't believe we're a dream, and if you don't believe in past lives then that would show that the mind can create some really intriguing things...
of course I believe in past lives so my argument is useless for me... *shrugs* just a theory though
i feel this is logical because each new life you start is a new dream on the way to death, that is what i believe life is a dream on the way to death, that isn't mine some famous guy said that...
Its a very good thought actually! It makes much sense too so its very believeable! If you believe in a god than to add on to that though, it could be your God waking from their dream about your life and your dead.. if that makes much sense at all...
~VampiricShadow
interesting.. N I agree with VampiricShadow again
Btw VampiricShadow I like your post n ideas very much!!
my my that is very interesting thought but i dont think its possable because we all would die but u raise a good questain
mmm lol
could be but then again we could also be some freak scientific experiment by an powerfull being, hence the believe that god excists.
He's the one doing the experiment ;)
i have no idea but that deffint=itly got me thinking ....thats very interesting do an eperament and see wut happens!!!
good topic. it really maekes oyu think. but if we died every tie someone woke up, i dont think anyone wouldlive very long...we'd all have to be a dream of coma people as they are the only ones who "sleep" for years on end. anywho... i think that dreams that come true ore only by chanceas the dreams of the future cant say what everyone else's futures are. only your, and only potentially. as for the reality bit..i have a posting that i wrote a few months ago that kinda relates to the topic of what is real. i have it posted in my joural for march or april...possibly may but i doubt it. if you wish you can look at it. once again good topic.
woo! look at all the typos! im sorry guys, i cant type tonight for some reason.
I dont mind typos as long as I can still understand what the writer ment.
i think that dreams or telling us whats going to happen
Hey, me and one of my friends talk about that possibility all the time . . . wouldnt it be great to know for sure?
so we are sleeping and dreaming and we were in some others person dream
were with some ppl like me our dreams kind of mees with our heads and i can tell wat will happen on that day i had the dream but the dream does mees with your head and makes u think if wat i just was dreaming about is wat will happen or is things for stil to come or do we dream cause our minds are set free at night when we sleep and there wonder were ever they like to.
that would be freacky to accauly find out something like that i knwo i would be freaked out "thinks about it " i think i would be i should say
Very interesting thought. However, I believe in the old greek mythology way of life. That there are 3 women in black with a weaving loom and each strand represents a life. When it runs out, so do you, but they also have the power to cut it short.
I believe that sleeping and dreaming is the closes thing that we'll get to death, until death comes for us!
Wow this is definitely my type of topic. I was just talking about this like a week ago and it’s a topic that has been on my mind for awhile. I always feel like there has to be more out there besides us. I sit and wonder if we are someone else’s dream or are we in someone’s aquarium as pets and they are watching us lol. This topic came to mind for me when I found out how many ppl are on this site and don’t really have the beliefs as everyone else who participates, basically that vampires don’t exists. How can we be the only ones that exists in the universe. I believe in just about everything because if I can live and breath here so can someone else.
Hey maybe we are just a thought in somebody’s mind or maybe we are just floating in space waiting to be gasped upon. This revolves around how real is our reality.
Well to begin with most dreams you dont notice all five sences I know every now and then you can actually feel or smell something in your dream but that is because of fimilarity with such objects meaning your brain plays back those sensations with precicion enough to confuse the body and dear we as of now experience to much for it to be an illusion and I think so there for i exist I'm not a thought
Hm...that's a god though but here's my idea.
Death andf drams are sometimes one. When we dream, when we go to sleep...we die. Yet when we wake up, we are brought back to our bodies. People who die either dont want to be reborn or cant
i believe when i die that i will once a again wake up from a nightmare that i call this life. one never truely dies they just wake up from a secsesion of dreams
that happens alot with me or a friend... and were all here. but i and my friends will have a heads up when were going to die. my bfs ant can just look into ur eyes b-4 u die and she will know she dsoesnt know how but after u look into her eyes and she tells u it happeneds. ppl on this site would love to have that power but she said she would do anything to get ride of it. she doesnt like telling ppl when it happens and she trys her best to make it not but yea....
ever have a dream that makes you angry and you carry that anger through the next day after you wake up.even though what made you angry doesnt exist
here something y do we even dream at all wat is the ponit of us dreaming when and how can we fell smell and teates on is happening but its not really real at all so how can we stil have theses fellings.
shared dreaming...I have done it with an ex g/f we dreamed the same dream.We talked on the phone before going to bed...and said think of each other as we fall aleep ...then woke the next morning...she called and we had the same dream
Interesting idea, but I would hate to think my only reason for being was due to someone's dream.
Dreams are an interesting thing...how real are they? or arent they? I have dreams where I wake up hurt, so who's to say what is real in dreams? I think anything is possible...this is a fascinating idea.....must think now...
V.O. Ithink dreams are fairly real. I sometime dream of things that happen later. Of course thet happen so far later I don't remember dreaming about them until they happen and then it is to late for it to be of any use to me.
If we were sombofu's dream, then we cannot do anything about it. Rememeber the phrase "You controll everything in your dream" so it means they controll us.
But what about this Idea? Dreams are the real reality and what we have right now is just a dream...or a nightmare?
is very hard for me to respond since ur way of thinking is how i can in a way say i believe like wats in front of us is real the sphisicall is the illusion but how can we b sure wats in front of us is real making the spisicall an illusions is hard but i think ur message is really good
thats a good one but i think i may have a answer for your with that. like when u we cuold be someone eles dreams made up and we cant control wat we do in our dream but heres a the thing your right we cant control it cause if we cuold then we would be dreaming wat ever we want but in our dreams we have good dreams and bad dream and the same with the real wolrd we have good days and bad so its almost someone is controling our free will or the person who has dreamed us cause in dreams when ever we have a nightmere we cant control we never can cause someone eles is doing that but for wat reason is it and y they doing it. is for for fun or there playing with us like a childs toy.
Hmmm, that is an interesting thought..I will have to ponder it..a little more..I love the forum...everyone is so great..
I am surprised that someone else has had those exact thoughts as myself!
I have yet to come to an answer. It is one of my greatest philosophical question for myself.
I have dreamt of strangers who dies, but the problem is I have no clue who the stranger is, and by the time I wake up, I can barely remember the person's face, much less the details. Otherwise, I would have tried to find anything in Obituaries, news, etc., about a death and see if maybe the deceased strongly resembles that which I had dreamt up.
I suppose I will be finding myself pondering on this issue until the end of my days....
Thank you for bringing it up!
-sits in the darkness, my dreams always tell me of the evil core within me. it can very much drive anyone who cant stand against it to kill themselves.
your question is a bit unclear, but no. ideally, my brother would be dead, as would i, as would just about every teacher i have ever met. i think you are implying that when a persondies, it is because their "identity" has been trapped and locked away by someone else...a dream. to me, this does not seem even theoretical, but, if is gets you thinking it shows that emotions do carry over. i dont think physical can be affected in such gross proportions by emotional.
wow interesting question and very deep,beats teh one about a tree making a sound if no one sees it fall,will think about this for a while ,and hope i dont dream about someone i love ,
Wow. THAT'S really a scary thought. How the hell did you came up with that?
What about reaccurring dreams though. How can someone die, and then return. Since we all dream, we couldn't be killing each other and reviving them. What about when people dream about dead people.
If it is possible it would have to be on a different level, another dimension I guess..
How about sharing dreams with someone you don't even know or heard of? That would explain why there are certain deaths right?
I dreams of death alot and sometimes people come visit me in my dreams. I alwasy dream about someone dying and it happens
Interesting thought...but I just found out... that Dreams and death might be connected. My best friend died about 40 days ago, (tomorrow is her '40 days' or ascent to death) and she appeared to me and my/our other bestfriend...on the same night, on the same hour but in different dreams...
ibelive that that is just you having a connection with your friend.kinda giving you your respected farewells. not that your dreams had anything to do with their death.you sense when someone you know is about to leave this realm.like everyone in my family knew gramps passed away before the phone rang.we sensed it.
Heh. It sounded like when I dreamt about my substitude teacher coming one day and in that same day she was there.
It reminds me of the fact that i have Deja Vu aa lot i will dream of my friends saying or doing things then i few days later it will happen.......
