Meaning of a Dream

Gone and lucid dreaming for many, many years, and there is very little of what is * really * going on. In recent times there have been several strange encounters with while you sleep.

In the past, I've so resolutely but the rates temporarily projected teaching dream and astral (astral projection ever completely left my body, but was able to turn around, sit out of my body, move my arms and legs out of my body, but never left my body.)

I have had several experiences of astral or un-a clear intentional (I can't tell which, because they happen unintentionally). I always start with a dream. "I wake up" in my bed, when I lie. Do not want to be a sleep paralysis, but I look around my room; It seems to be the same, except I see other people. I move my head and limbs on the outside of my body (I assume that this is what is happening, because it's like when I did so before the determination.)

Sometimes they affect me, sometimes they do. Twice they intentionally spoke to me (as soon as I came, or when I woke up they already in front of my face) sometimes stick them in my room or simply walk through is supposedly around it. Sometimes I'm caught up and attract attention. Sometimes we do not affect at all. Sometimes they looks very much like a real person, sometimes not.

This happened only when I moved to my new House, which I also find it odd. When they * do * interact with me and their energy seems to "touch" or towards me. I am overcome with a tingling sensation all over and cannot move at all. This feeling usually ends the encounter (or my awareness) and call me.

Now I understand the astral world, and lucid dreaming is just very simple. I'm not sure weather I deal with things themselves, perhaps the "Astral plane" or energies that only live in the House. Or yet I dream of, if a little more vividly in my room.

I don't really expect you to be able to offer in the affirmative or in the negative, but any info you have would be much appreciated. Has this happened to anyone before that you know of? Where can I find answers? I'm not sure the right questions right, I'm just trying to understand what is happening. Thank you very much.

Rebecca says: I have experience in a few what you are shooting. For example, I have woken up and unable to move, and to see the faces standing in the bedroom doorway. It stared at me very intensely, then (without really moving ...) zoomed in to rush me. Quickly went to could move again and I felt surprisingly calm, considering what happened. It's probably due to hallucinations.

For the second time, when I tried to get out, I felt like a lucid dream OBE teleporting roll-spinning even-on my body. I have a vision not at all at first, because my eyes were closed, but then I started to get the encrypted Video-maybe this was just my imagination? In the end, I heard a huge roaring noise (also known as the OBE vibration) and felt like I'd been so far spun out of control and missed out on the other side of the bed! When I opened my eyes, completely still in the same position I was lying, I started ...

For more information about the OBE occur and visitors who appear on the verge of sleep paralysis might want to check out Ryan Hurd sleep paralysis Kit. It tells you how to interact with your visitors, (which Ryan believes the share of the subconscious) and amazing in a lucid dream. You may want to include the following sources the OBE occur:

I'm looking to define the specific types of dreams I'm having. I call them "beyond a lucid dream" or "a second reality" or "the Matrix". In my dreams, I possess all 5 of my senses, and there's a very small chance that what happens in the dream will physically affect me. Yet I have no ability to control the dream outside of normal interactions as if it were the real world. I'm sure it isn't sleepwalking. Is there a specific name for these kinds of dreams, or do I possess some kind of unusual power?

Rebecca says: Great question. This is one of those weird things that happen on the sleep-wake border (and when you're lucid dreaming, you're much closer to that border than usual, because you are highly conscious).

These are lucid dreams, I believe, because you possess all five senses and have heightened self-awareness. You don't have to be in full control of a dream to call it a lucid dream. In fact, the word "lucid" just means clarity - ie of the senses. It doesn't imply dream control, that's just the most appealing nature of lucid dreaming for beginners; the novelty of being able to do anything. (It IS a novelty, and there is much more to explore beyond this, when you starting going deeper, and letting the dream show you things you could never create consciously.)

Sometimes when I do something in a lucid dream, my physical body does it too. Like you say, it's not sleepwalking (the movements are too small, and anyway, most sleepwalking occurs in the non-dreaming or non-REM stages of sleep).

For instance, if I close and then re-open my eyes in a lucid dream, I do the same in real life. Sometimes this causes me to wake up altogether, or sometimes I can see into my bedroom for a few seconds then close my eyes again and be back in the lucid dream. I am vaguely aware that my body is paralyzed at this point - if the sleep paralysis wears off, I usually wake up.

I've also had larger non-lucid dream movements affecting my physical body. When I was a teenager I worked on a supermarket checkout. Whenever I was stressed, I had these endless semi-conscious nightmares where I did the repetitive movement of scanning endless items of food on the checkout. Eventually I woke up to see I had been doing the same movements in my bed.

It also works the other way around too - where you incorporate external sensory information into your dream. For instance, if I wear a lucid dream mask to sleep, I end up dreaming that I'm wearing it. My first cue to become lucid is "Hang on, why can I see through this mask? I must be dreaming!" (For the record, I'm not really an advocate of lucid dream masks as there are cheaper and easier ways to have lucid dreams. But I did experiment with a lot of different tools and techniques to make this website, including lucid dream trigger masks.)

Anyway I hope that answers your question. There is a complex relationship between the brain and body during sleep; each speaking their own language and working off cues from the other. Sometimes things get mixed up, and the brain processes signals as if we're awake. This is most common when lucid dreaming, but nothing to be afraid of or worry about.
