A deeper look at dreams

[QUOTE=fiddy]Pretty much. OP might be dreaming about random strangers he had seen on the street or a in movie.

[/QUOTE]

Nope.

These strangers were close and personal to me; the girls were pretty and I felt like they were my exes although I have never seen them before in real life. Of course I would of remember them if I saw them in real life. You tend to pick out pretty girls more than random strangers; and of course locations, if you've been to some place, it's not hard to recollect that location if it is specific, like a yard, gate, how many stories, the color of the house, etc. even I'm sure I can pin point it to what movie.

I doubt dreams are latent; if it is, then why do you see so many things you don't see in real life?

What I'm saying is I'm beginning to believe in Quantum dimensions. It is in its infancy, but I think the more we know about it, the better we can explain our dreams; as is, we know absolutely nothing about dreams.

[QUOTE=MetsPackers]This

I've had dreams where people and locations are pieced together however. Rooms combined, i'll walk through a doorway and be in a completely different building, one that appears to be a few different places combined. People I think i've never seen before only to remember them later. Maybe that's what's making you think that you've never seen the places before, i've done the same


And to the guy talking about DMT, it isn't like dreaming in the way you probably think it is. Totally not what you'd expect once you actually do it, but actually in a more pleasent way than you'd imagine


Also OP leave the board you promised[/QUOTE]

These aren't combinations I'm seeing; it's not like I'm seeing my "dream" gf with the body of Angelina Jolie and face concocted between 2 different girls and the body of a dog or something. I don't buy it could be just some random stranger I met in real life because it wouldn't be as personal, and what even makes it more crazy is some family members aren't recognizable as family members in my dreams, so the whole latent theory doesn't fly: if it is base on my experiences, then why can't I recognize people close to me?

Try dreaming about a nuclear bomb going off when you look outside your window. I had this dream recently and it almost felt real. I could see the bomb going off, all the red crap going up in the air. I even remembered what I said the moment the bomb went off. "Those mother fuccers actually did it. WTF" followed by me crying(I was probably referring to China). Anyways, a couple seconds after I said that, I feel the brunt of the bomb and all of a sudden I'm dead.

I'm expecting to wake up with heavy breathing and heart beating like crazy. Nope, none of that. That wasn't a nightmare for me at all. It was as if I was accepting death and now I realize today, if I'm ever going to die out of the blue, then it better be when a nuclear bomb goes off.

I stopped reading there. Think about what already has been written in the thread about the dreams.

[QUOTE]I disagree with this. What exists that we haven't seen? That isn't a combination of what we've seen. It's like numbers or letters. Tell what what you are imagining right now that you haven't seen. I would guess it is composed of parts of things you have seen.[/QUOTE]

Look at it this way. If someone was locked in a room their whole life, with no human contact, and only fed MUSH and drank water, I think they would still dream about things outside of the room. All of their dreams wouldn't be based on the room and the mush. They would imagine what it's like outside, imagine who is giving them the food. Etc etc.

The others in this thread are wrong! Your dreams are completely normal and not surprising. I've been writing down my dreams on and off for years, and I have had dreams like yours.

You should write down the dreams as much as you remember and try to figure out what it means. Your subconscious is giving you a message through the girls and through that connection you feel. It might mean you need to find a girl like the girls in the dream. It might mean they represent someone in your real life who you've been neglecting. But only you can really know the meaning because it's your dream. Just sit down and think about it the answer will come to you :)

You don't ever dream about that sh*t? Like you see someone that you swear to god is either your mom, gf, close friend, etc. in your dreams but when you wake up, you don't remember them having any association with you at all (yes including random strangers and any other stupid movies, etc.)

Let me ask you this, if dreams are indeed so latent, then why do blind people still dream?

I like your thinking and you are spot on. It's almost like I'm seeing into the future or something because as of late I'm beginning to settle down and start a new phase in my life (meaning wanting to get marry), but I don't know which direction I'm going.

I think premonition in dreams is a weird fascinating phenomenon: most big lotto winners claim that they saw the numbers in their dreams.

I had a dream once that I was on a flight leaving LAX. When the plane was taking off down the runway, I heard a loud boom sound and saw a massive mushroom cloud over downtown LA. Then a few moments later the delayed shock wave came carrying debris (trees and cars and shit), causing the plane to crash before it left the ground. But I think everybody survived. Then it fast-forwarded to me riding with a gang of a bunch of convict-looking motorcycle riders in this post-apocalyptic California. I ended up somewhere near the ocean with a group of random people on some wealthy dude's property. I think it was somewhere in Malibu.

Also, I always have dreams about being back in college and about to miss a final or some important project. Or that I'm lost on campus the first day. Hate those feelings.

I've had those too. And I always have dreams where I'm back in my high school, not even always for school. It's just a frequent setting.

I don't necessarily believe in dream premonitions but I think our subconscious mind is ahead of our conscious mind in a lot of areas. If you get really good at lucid dreaming, you can directly ask your subconscious mind questions and receive answers. "What is my biggest fear?" "What profession would make me happiest?" It's pretty amazing, but it takes a long time and a lot of patience to reach that level.

[QUOTE=eriX]its not possible... just like its not possible to describe to someone blind what colour is. Your creativity is limited by your knowledge, hence why knowledge is often considered to be "power" because it expands your creativity and other stuff. Being imaginative does not equal to actually making stuff up.[/QUOTE]

You mentioned in your first post that "there's no way you can make up people" in a dream. That is just not true dude. I've had many dream characters that my mind completely made up, including several just last night. There was a black guy that I was talking to on a street, a female bowling alley owner, and a cop investigating a crime. All people I've never seen before in my life. I've also had more than one dream where I WAS a person I had never met- including one dream where I was a female scientist on a submarine that was being attacked by sharks. lol.

[QUOTE=ProfessorMurder]Please, explain to everybody what it's like to have total recall of every person's face that you've ever glimpsed.

I mean, you must have that because there's no way for you to prove you've never seen someone before.[/QUOTE]

So you believe my subconscious keeps an accurate storage of faces I can't even consciously remember, but you refuse to believe it can construct a new face I haven't seen?
