LOL!!! Oh Lordy, that made my day! Wouldn't that be a deadly combo??
 I have tons of dreams where I am going to school and I realized I have forgotten to attend a class or classes and I am going to fail. I have had this one 100s of times(that I am aware of).
 My mom told me I used to astral project myself when I was a kid(apparently I used to describe what Tre was talking about), but I have no memory of it.

 Cheers,

It's odd that people figure some bizarre outlandish vision must of course be a dream, but something as simple for your brain to create as seeing your own body in settings you're familiar with must be astral projection.

I actually believe in astral projection, and there's more to it than that. I think you guys are talking about dreams so far.

I agree that we are talking about dreams(I am skeptical about astral projection, but I respect your belief in it).
I had such vivid descriptions to my Mom about how I would crawl around on the ceiling and wonder how I could still be lying in bed, that she was sure that was astral projection.
Like I said, I have no memory of any of this.
My sister and others(an older cousin, my Mom) said a diabolic being(horns, hooves, the pointy tail and a bowler hat) used to come out of my room, too. I supposedly told my Mom I had seen the devil, because he had "glowing red eyes". My Mom claimed she did an exocism and it went away(she was not a priest of any sort). Again, I have no memory of this either.

Cheers,

Joe

Well Alpha it depends on your temp. At 105 you should be dead (well maybe 107 but 1055 induces major brain damage). I was 104.2 once, quite about to die. I had to jump in a bathtub full of ice water. I tell you it is not fun. Now of course when ever I get sick i worry about getting a fever.
 
  • #25
I beleve in Astrial projections because well have had one and would have been dead I not been found and put in that ice. Oh yeah I might mention this was not a familiar place. I do remember watching myslef ride in the car to the hospital. Really freaky
 
  • #26
tub of ice water? sheesh! that's sure to wake you up! lol
I really don't know about the temp but I guess it wasn't so high since I don't remember even going to the doctor.

I woke up on the floor with my face all full of blood. Seems I hit the edge of the computer desk when I got up. Owwww!!!!

*dies laughing* Somehow, some way, that was unimaginably funny.

LMFAO

I had this dream once where me and my grandparents were in Blockbuster looking for Twister, and we couldn't find it. Then, later on, at the house, there was a major thunderstorm (just like every single day in the summer ¬_¬), and, as usual, tornado conditions, and I was looking towards the east at some clouds, scanning for tornados and crap, and then I saw a MASSIVE Midwest-style tornado off to the left, coming towards the house. It kept to the left, just missing the house, dissapating as it went by. This happened several more times, and I eventually moved out to the back porch to watch (*slams head on keyboard*). Then, as I came back inside, I saw a smaller, Florida-style tornado rip through (or go over) the neighbor's fence, travel across the back yard and patio, then go over the roof, and I heard alot of noise at the south end of the house, and then I woke up.

Then, a couple nights ago, I had this bizarre dream.. I don't remember the whole thing... but.. I remember the chaos... there were soldiers... in the toilet. And for some reason, my grandfather was forced to.. flush.. them. I got mad at him, and I remember him later saying, "I'm sorry about what I had to do about the soldiers," and I'm like "Uh-huh." I also remember this dude... out on the back patio... HUGE dude, like, 8 feet tall.. he was injured or something, and the government was looking for him for some reason. I remember seeing a really weird helicopter go over the house, and somehow I knew it was looking for this guy, and I acknowledged it. Then, a little while later, there was a WHOLE BUTTLOAD of helicopters in the sky, and I don't know how I knew this, but I knew.. there were 5,000. I also somehow knew that this was the end of the world. Really. Then my aunt and uncle Laura and Bobby came to visit. I remember wondering in my head how come everybody was so oblivious to the fact that the end of the world was near, and we were all gonna die, but everybody just went about their normal business. Then I remember waking up and realizing it was a dream and that the end of the world was not, in fact, near.

Another time, I was dreaming about going on a trail ride at the ranch I go to, and for some unknown reason, I was with my grandmother (...yeah...right...), and I thought Shirley (ranch owner/trail guide) had gotten way ahead, so I decided to lope ahead to catch up, and my grandmother told me to go ahead and that she would catch up, so I went. I kept having to duck out of the way of alot of spider webs with big ol' spiders in them, like usual. Then I remember being half-awake and hearing a voice saying "The worst human phobia is the fear that there are spiders in your hair." Then I went back into deep sleep and dreaming that I got out of the wooded area and then I saw Shirley come out of the woods behind me, and I said that I thought she had gotten ahead, so I went to catch up. For some strange reason, Shirley then had long, braided hair o_O Which she does not. Then I remember, at the end of the ride, we were all there, and Shirley was saying something about wanting to sometime take a long walk around the ranch and "knight me" (hell, I dunno.. had something to do with me being a really good rider or somethin')... that was weird. Then I remember being in the car with my grandparents, and we stopped at this small store thing, and then suddenly I was not in the car, but on a horse. I remember seeing from the saddle and dismounting and hitching the horse there, then I saw myself from the back as I walked into the store. That's all I remember from that one.

And all my life I've had recurring dreams, all of different settings, but all the same situation: I somehow ended up driving a car. Usually it was an accident, like I was waiting in the car and it rolled out onto the road and I had to drive it, or something to that effect. And it was ALWAYS our minivan. Never the truck or any other car. But recently that changed, and now it's usually the minivan, but sometimes any random car. The other night I dreamt that somebody bought me this older, little white car, and I remember there being a bunch of crap inside... and then I remember driving down the street, and I remember the car being really low, close to the road. I was thinking about how white was the worst color car to have in Florida, since it absorbed so much heat. That ain't even right in the first place, dude. It's the other way around. Anyway, that's all I remember. I still have no idea why I keep having dreams about driving anyway.

EDIT: Oh, and there's one nightmare I distinctly remember... We had moved to another house, and it looked EXACTLY like this house, except really dark for some unknown reason. Lots of creepy paranormal stuff happened in this house in the dream.. not the routine paranormal stuff that does, in real life, go down in this house, this was menacing, evil stuff, like with an entity. I don't remember most of them, but I do remember something about some kind of presence over my bed, and that all the things were really freakishly scary. Then, towards the end of the dream, I was in my room, on my bed, and I looked towards the closet and heard a seriously messed-up voice saying the same thing that I simultaneously saw being written in black on the closet door: "Come into the closet and I will show you great things." I remember getting up and running out, down the hall, out to the sunroom, and standing there and screaming back into the house, "I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE OLD HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!" And then I woke up.

'NOTHER EDIT: ALSO, I had this dream once where something really weird went down, something about the end of the world again.. and I went outside onto the back porch and looked around, and the sky was this weird intense pinkish or blueish color, and it was unusually humid (like, worse than Florida humidity.. like, tropical-rainforest-humidity), and I heard these weird tropical-rainforest birds. It was like, prehistoric or something. Then I went outside (I think this is all the same dream...) into the driveway and looked up, and it was like Earth was suddenly off orbit or some kind of crap, and the sky was the same weird color, and I saw weird outer-space stuff in the sky, really close, and then I saw this spot and a star revolving around it, and I thought, 'OMG.. black hole!!' and I panicked, knowing this was the end of the world, and I kept thinking, "This is not happening.. I can't believe this is happening... this is not happening..." And then I think I woke up.

Then there was another dream where something similar was going down and I was sitting on the tailgate of the truck out in the driveway, with this other girl from a Disney Channel movie I saw a long time ago.. you know, the girl from the other universe or some crap? I don't remember the name of the movie. Anyway, she knew outer space REALLY well, and we saw the planet Saturn REALLY close, and it was, like, sitting on a cloud... and I said something, and then the girl was like, "I don't know, but that is NOT Saturn!" and then she got up and went somewhere. That's all I remember about that one.

Then once I had a dream that there was some kind of presentation going down in this neighborhood... something about the beginning of the world. Anyway, in the dream, this was before we had the sunroom, when the previous front door was the front door, and I sat outside at night on the step, and watched this show thing in the yard area of our neighbor across the street... there was fake trees and stuff, and a huge cardboard sugar glider... and I heard a really cheesy movie-trailer-type narrator going, "This... is what it looked like to Him" (meaning God). That's all I remember.

Then I remember another dream where there was, like, a fair in this neighborhood (man, my dreams are sooooooo much more entertaining than my life), and there was this ride in my freaking front yard, and I was on it with some other people. That's all I remember about that.

Another time, recently, I had a dream about Christmas or something... I was going through the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights or something, and I was wearing this heavy football jacket, and I got hot (which is NOT normal... it would be @#$% cold at this point and time, I have no idea why I would be hot) and took the jacket off. I then remember something about a house around the corner, and the driveway, and a little kid, and that's all I remember about that.

AUGH!! EDIT AGAIN: Last night I had this dream that I was for some reason in Fox Mulder's apartment...... God, I sure wish I knew why, that sounds like it coulda been good..... ANYWAY... he had these plants that looked a LOT like some sort of small-pitchered Nepenthes... the pitchers resembled Cephalotus. But they were, in fact, not CPs. They were... *looks in America (The Book)*... Sansevieria trifasciatta. That's exactly what the label said in the dream.

I have reaccuring dreams but I usually don't remember them. Except last night I had this wierd dream I had to eliminate the threat (which could have been anyone I know). For some reason I ended up hunting people down in Australia. Then I realized I was in Australia and started looking for Cps. Only to come up with tons and tons of Sarrs (The lost Sarr fields). And learning that the Bristish Gov and Aust. Gov had been illegally importing Sarrs that were wild collected into the middle of AU to put them in a recreated habitat. I then realizsed I had been drugged and the only way to survive was to eat Sarr rhizomes. I remember them tasting bad and acting like a laxitive. Then I died via Au officals killing me due to the fact that I ate some rare sarr hybrid. Then I woke up after drowning after I was dead (What?).
Fortunatly none of my Sarrs were missing at home.

Anyone have those weird dreams when you know you are in a dream(and try to devise some kind of way to wake yourself up or end the dream)?
 
  • #30
Well, once I had a dream and I knew in the dream that it probably WAS a dream, and it was disappointing.. that's the one and only time I was able to think for myself in a dream. Otherwise I have absolutely no control over my dreams. Which SUCKS.

My strangest dream ever:

(I am not joking, it has got to be related to indigestion or something) but I was being chased, yeah, typical right? when I would look over my shoulder (1st person perspective of course) what was chasing me were antique dining room tables, from dainty little things, to big ol suckers you would find in a kings hall. all 'animated as in moving) like furniture out of a Disney Beauty and the Beast film or something. Not scarry at all.. I remember thinking 'this is screwy, and must be a dream.' I woke up several times and every time i fell back asleep, I would return to it, almost as if I was willing myself to go back to it and find out how it would resolve... never did, same thing over and over, like a video loop. wierd.

Scarriest dream? I won't go into detail, but quite simply, coming home to find my wife being raped, and not being able to do anything about it, as I get jumped soon as I come through the door. As horrible as it sounds, I am not sure what was more horrifying to me in the dream, the fact my wife was being raped, or that I was powerless to stop it. perhaps there is no distinction between the two. Suffice it to say, if something like that were to happen in real life, I will check behind me before acting so I won't get jumped, and the perpetrator will cease to exist shortly there after. :|

Best dream I ever had? Scuba diving in palau with my wife. I have no idea how to SCUBA, but I plan to learn, so does my wife. We intend to make this one a reality very soon.

ha! in my dream I didn't have to wear scuba gear! lol. darn it felt good! there were octopuses and this creepy guy that kept them.... my dad worked in a cave or something and you could go into the sea. at first I was wearing SCUBA gear but then somewhere during the dream I lost it and i could breathe underwater. I remember that I had watched this video about cephalopods so I guess that's why i dreamed about octopuses. (for those of you that are probably getting annoyed by "octopuses", I was told that both octopuses and octopi are correct. why I chose to type the former I don't know... my lazyness should make me type octopi

)
although the best feeling in a dream was when i was on the moon. complete relaxation... now THAT is the best feeling in the wor... eer... universe? lol.
and I had just watched the simpsons... that episode where homer becomes an astronaut and starts eating potato chips or something and then breaks the ant farm :p
there were other really great dreams but you don't want to know about those.

No way iv been 107 atleast twice

Are you sure? Wow thats amazing.

Kids can hit 107, Generally once your body is fully matured you will no longer be able to withstand temps like that. Last year my daughteer hit 107.? and she was still concious and coherent. On the other hand I would be seriously damaged or dead at 107. A couple years ago I hit 104 and was very incoherent and in-and-out of conciousness. My wife had to take me to the emergency room.




As far as dreams. I wonder about mine.
I frequently dream of things like a Greyhound/Whippit dog throwing-up his internal organs on to the floor and then staring at me. Skin drapped over the spine and ribs. Lighting is dim orange with a hole in the roof and I can see dark clouds like thunderheads on the horizon. The sky is a medium blue/purple shade like a late sunset. In the attic is a single rocking chair, there is no drywall- just rafters and insulation. The dog never stops staring, he just watches me watching him.

I'm in a old auditorium where circuses were performed but haven't for years. The floor is dirty with cigarette butts and dirt. The stands are awesomely huge. I am at the top of the stands looking down to the center of the arena. The spot light is on but no-one is here but me. I walk around a little while looking for some-one, though I don't know who. I find this door but when I open it there are 3 old ladies, standing on pillars the reach as far as I can see into nothing. When the door opens they scream like howler monkeys -a deeply penetrating shrill. If the door is closed theres nothing but quiet in my dream.

I am in my house I actually live in and there's a party in the basement and friends and family are there. I go upstairs and the whole middle floor is dark and empty except for a dead naked girl that I have never seen before. She is alive but her body shows obvious signs of death long ago, rotting patches and missing spots of hair. She takes my hand and leads me upstairs to the 3rd floor where my grandfather (who died a few years ago) is waiting for me and he too is naked. They never speak a word to me or each other. The girl grabs my

.....................I'll stop there.

Jimscott: If you read this then you will know the story.

I dream over and over again of maggots crawling out of holes in my body. They chew with teeth. I gag in my sleep as they crawl out of my mouth and nose. I am paralyzed not by fear but just unable to move like being quadreplegic. As they eat the last bits of skin I begin to realize that there is more insode of me than I thought. Inside is a pair of wings not flies or butterflies but moth wings. Wings that are drab like canvas and silky to the touch. They're wet and sticky and I try too spread them but I can't. My wings are from the inside out and come from the front of my torso like I am actually seeing the back of a moth born inside that has yet to turn around.

These are a couple of my regular dreams. I dream these on a regular basis most often is my moth dream and my dog dream. At least twice a month.
