Yeah, and I really do struggle with mine. On one hand I want people to get some idea of who I am or at least what I want them to see of me. Some have been the real me, or at least my thumb respresenting my mood. Some are characters that I see myself being similar to and therefore choose them.
And sometimes, its just a good place to be silly for a while.
A few years ago I had a problem with sleep paralysis, often. I will describe my first experience... if it seens a bit too fantastical to ever have happened , you can try to research a bit on sleep paralysis.Most of experiences have a lot of weird things associated with them.
The first time was when I was about 14. I was having this weird nightmare where I was laying on my bedroom but, whenever I tried to get up some kind of white blanket would fall on me and just drain me so I couldnt move. Not a blanket exactly, it was not "physical" you see, it would fall through me. I could roll to the side of my bed, but everytime I tried to fall to the floor, I would end up falling on my bed again!
So,eventually I forced myself to wake up ( I learned how to force myself to awake when I was a lil kid, to avoid the many, very unpleasant, nightmares I had back then ), and then I found out I really could not move. I could hear my mother going about her bussines at home, and so I tried to yell. My voice had disapeared, nearly, and I found I couldnt speak. Then, to make things worse, I began to have this "warm" feeling around my neck, as if I had a towel with warm water around it, and somehow I began having trouble breathing and had to begin struggling to. I tried to scream too, only to find out that even if it felt I was screaming at the top of my lungs, only a very faint whisper left my mouth.
So, at that point I thought that was it, i was going to die right there, I was losing my breath, and to top it I did a completely failed attempt at screaming, losing whatever little oxygen I had. I remember I was utterly terrified at that moment, and possibly just out of complete desperation I decided to try to twitch, try to move spamosdically. I began with my fingers, and thankfully it was working, soon I could move my fingers and after that, it was just a tiny step for me to recover my arm and then the rest of my body.
I think I had this sort of thing happen about 16 times to me over the span of two years, and I had two isolated cases a couple years ago. Two times, I was sure there was some presence with me, a "dark person" which I couldnt see, only with the corner of my eyes, but I -knew- he was watching me and that only added to my panic, really. Nowadays, this doesnt happens to me anymore, and I really dont know why it began, or stopped. I tried to speak with a few doctors about it, but they didnt take me seriously, and the information I found online wanst really satisfying. :/ Sucks, I know. I am just glad it stopped happening.

sometimes when i meditate i go into a state where i am imagining something, but i am not in control of what i am imagining. It is much like watching a movie. It can be scary sometimes, because i end up learning stuff about myself that normally hides in the shadows.
Maybe that is the oppsite of lucid dreaming. Usually when i dream i am able to remind myself that i am dreaming.

Just wondering.

Can't say I do, but it could mean something about power relationships. Look at the relationship between your dad and you for clues.
My mum was controlling in the past and I didn't really see it coming back, then my dreams started having her control the most minute aspects of family life and sure enough, I realized tonight that she is slipping back.
It could mean so many different things.
I'm more worried about the fact that I've been more moody than usual lately and just realized that tonight I dozed and DREAMED that I took my meds instead of actually taking them. Now I'm worried I've done this in the past. I did notice my 7 day pill organizer was being refilled on different days of the week. Am I going to have to start dating them?

*hugs* I'm sorry. I'm bad about remembering to take meds too but whoo I'm on something good now!

The storyline is like this.
My Dad who was very powerful in a lot of ways in my life. At times I didn't think I would survive him. He was very charismatic, a handsome strong man and he was interested in me.
He's dead now and I miss him a great deal.
There were times we would go out and people would assume we were dating.
One night something sort of happened and I stopped him telling him no.
That's was real life.
In the dreams, we can't resist and fuck like bunnies and it's GREAT, I mean fucking great shit!
The problem is that it is wrong. That and the fucking guilt. I don't want to hurt my Mom. That bad part usually takes up too much of the damn dreams.
Of course there is guilt from the get go in this dream.
Repeating dream.
And sometimes my Dad is my husband and my husband is my first husband. Eek!

I had such a naughty lucid dream last night that were I a man I'd be standing straight in two directions.

had this one. In dreams sex doesn't always mean sex. Sex is a form of intercourse. Sometimes to dream you're having sex with someone means you need to have a talk with them. Or that you are going to have a talk with them.

This'll teach me to finish reading before posting.
Offhand, I'd say that you still feel the need to talk to him, to tell him stuff.

The night before last I dreamed I was swimming in this huge river. (FYI - I can barely dog paddle, let alone swim well enough to be in a river - but I swam like a champ in this dream.) I know I was dreaming with someone, but I'm not sure. All I know is this person was in a wheelchair. Anyway my companion was swimming with me, too. Then two grizzly bears, a big one and a medium sized one, joined us. We were alarmed, but not like we would be in real life. Then the big grizzly came to me, and stood up in the water, arms out like they do when they're gonna attack . . . and then it hugged me.

I've had them on 3 seperate occassions in my life. Nothing recently. I did a lot of research on these at one point because I was interested in having more. One of the books I read suggested that I repeat to myself over and over, before falling asleep, "I will have a lucid dream." Well, that seemed to never work. Instead, I would wake up about 5 times in the middle of the night, thinking that I was having a lucid dream ... but really I was awake. It got frustrating, so I stopped.
I read that most people make themselves fly in their lucid dreams. Me? I had sex with all my crushes.

Oh HELL yeah on the sex with crushes! If I could direct my dreams it would be orgasmic dreams with everything on earth and a few thangs that are merely myth!
Woot! Good for you.

Ok, my grandma says that water represents the subconscious (I knew that), and that since I was swimming in the water that meant that I was comfortable with my subconsiouce, and that I coping successfully with it. The woman in the wheelchair is another part of me, because of my disabilities. I was caring for, and 'frolicking' (her word) with that other part of me. The bear represents my instincts (she says animals usualy do), and that I was nervous of it means that I'm nervous of trusting my instincts. But since the bear hugged me, it means that I can trust my instincts.

Really? I would never do that. In any dream where I'm flying I'm terrified. I have no interest in flying. If I had wings I wouldn't use them. Some people say when they get to heaven the first hting they want to do is fly. Not me. I wanna take a hot bath.

That is too fucking cool. It sounds like a sort of Jungian style interpretation to me. Which has so far worked best for me btw.

I LOVE flying!!! (In my dreams.) Actually I want to go hang gliding and parachuting in RL too.
Funny story, a couple of years ago my son fell out of his VERY high tree house. He's like me in this way. He said it was a great feeling ALL the way down until he hit bottom.
LOL!

I get vertigo standing on chairs. I won't go near windows in second story houses. I have no interest in being any highter up than necessary. The only reason I can get on a secon story is cause you can't tell. I pretend that i'm firmly on the ground.

My doctor just started me on Topamax to avoid migraines because I've had so many recently...the last two nights I've slept like a log and had no dreams that I recall.
It's rather disconcerting.
The last time I slept through the night like this was over a decade ago. Closer to two, actually.
