No
my last dream was getting mugged near a shop where the actor who plays Tariq from Waterloo Road also got mugged a few days before me.
 
I am very lucky in my dreaming ability.
I can pre select a dream, and also return to a dream if awoken.
On the down-side I also occasionally suffer from some pretty terrifying nightmares.
 
Sounds like you could achieve lucid dreaming Ruth. Perhaps you should give it a go.
 
That's a big question. There seem to be many different methods. Google will reveal all, but separating out the useful from the drivel and the scams is the challenge.

That's a long winded way of saying I don't know. :)

I'm sure it can be done though. I've known a few perfectly rational and believable people who claimed to be able to do it.

It just strikes me that being able to pre-select a dream might be a signal that you might have an ability.
 
FWIW (and I hope I'm generally rational and believable) the vast majority of my dreams are lucid.
It means nightmares a thing of the past really, because if I don't like the way a dream is progressing, I can either change it or rewind and do things differently.

Ruth, I don't know about techniques.
It's not something I've ever really read up on, it's just something that's always been there. In fact for a long time I just assumed that this was the way everybody else dreamt too.
Are you aware on some level that you are actually dreaming at the time?
The way I visualise it is that the dream is like a huge movie set that I'm starring in - and just like watching a film if I'm not happy with what's happening I press the rewind button and go back to a point I want to restart from.
 
In my dream I can fly, failing that I take the lift :D

I totally agree.

BTW I forgot to post earlier, but in my last dream I was exploring this huge mansion with lots of secret passages and hidden stairways.

And the potential interpretations of that is why.

yeah - odds on me , in the jaffa cake saloon?
 
@SarahLee
I'm always aware that the dream is preselected. I'm aware that it's a dream, which is I believe a huge part in being able to return to it.
 
My last dream that I can remember.....I was being spooned by a dolphin.......
 
Can dolphins do reach arounds?
 
My most recent one (last night) I was cycling on my brompton in a city with lots of narrow traffic free streets, but it seemed like it was in a sort of semi developed country as the roads had lots of potholes I had to steer round. Then it seemed like someone on foot was trying to chase me and I was trying to escape them but the surface became like loose gravel and he was gaining on me but I came to a downhill section and was gaining speed and was sure I was going to come off on the loose surface. Then I came to a sort of uphill bit like a ramp and got launched into the air and though this will be a rough landling but I seemed to land ok. I then got off the bike and started walking through the streets but suddenly realised I had left my bike behind so went back and I think it must have got stolen (it was a rough neighbourhood!)
 
I occasionally wake and remember what I was dreaming as I woke but having a memory like a leaky sieve with extra holes (OK, like a ring!) I've forgotten it all by the time I'm actually awake. Last ones I can remember fairly well were both in hospital and both after a couple of days on HD pain killers (morphine demand pumps). One involved loads od spiders stealing my pain (ba5tards!) and the other had the ward staff enjoying an orgy. Pretty sure that last one was a dream but you know what these nurses are like!!!
 
I do find it annoying that dream memory is quite "volatile" compared with normal memory. I find that if you make a concious effort to go through your dreams as soon as you wake up and try and remember as much as possible it does sometimes help and some people say it's good to write them down of even draw things.
 
Not able to mention it here as the missus might read this, although I am sure she knows I do have a soft spot for one of her mates :rolleyes:

More of a hard spot I suspect!
 
I don't remember dreams very often, but last time I tried to give up smoking, I used Nicotine patches. They had a bit of a side effect, I had 4g Ultra Very High Resolution dreams of a picture quality TV makers can only dream about. Well, they could if they used Nicotine patches.

Mostly, either Biggles was just winning, or the tall brunette with big green eyes and a well filled bra, was just muttering "Take me now Bernie", as the alarm went off.
 
had a weird one last night actually ,quite vivid to the mountain behind our house (about 5 miles in practise) erupted like vesuvious ,and everyone was trying to escape down alleyways on foot ,but theres only two ways to go as the sea is in front of us .everyone jostling to escape ,perhaps i one lived in herculeam in a previous life .weird or what

p.s i have actually been inside the caldera of a active volcano in greece and its hot enough to start to melt your trainers or fry eggs on ,but dunno where this dream came from as that was 25 years ago
 
I dreamt that when i got into the office it had been filled with an infinite number of rock hopper penguins
 
I've started Champix, I'm having some really messed up and bizarre dreams at the moment

I was talking to a psychologist today about lucid dreaming. She expressed concerns. Apparently there have been case of people having moments of being unable to distinguish between dreams and real life and doing silly, dangerous things.

Don't know what to think TBH.

Apparently there are several telltale signs that you're dreaming. The ability to breath underwater is a common one, though not easy or safe to test. Another is that you usually have too many/too few fingers in a dream - a common way to start lucid dreaming is to check your hands at regular intervals during your waking day, count your fingers and ask yourself "am i dreaming?". It may take weeks but eventually you'l find yourself following that routine in your dreams too.
Text and clocks tend to blur and distort in dreams too, as do common patterns like brickwork or patterned furnishings. Your reflection tends to distort too.
 
I think in that case I'll give the lucid dream thing a miss.
Bad enough as it is already sometimes combining dream and somnabulism / conversation.
 
I often dream that the brakes on the car are very very weak, I've got my foot hard down on the pedal and am up out of the driving seat pulling on the steering wheel for leverage desperately trying to stop. Its a relief to wake up normally.

I expect the girl had had more than the daily recommended allowance of alcohol units and the barrel was your interpretation of the punishment for that. ;)
