Anyone else find a dream hilarious while asleep, and then wake up laughing? This happened to me multiple times this week, but it's never happened before.

The weird thing is, what my dream brain finds funny seems completely different from what my normal brain does. Last night I woke up laughing because of a black girl writing some word on a chalkboard. After I woke up, I took some time to try and explain to myself exactly why it was funny (I remembered more at the time), but it was really difficult. But I could still laugh at it after I woke up even though I only had a vague impression of why it was funny. Wish I had written down something as I would have remembered more.

Yeah, this has happened to me a few times. I love it. It's even better because the thing I'm laughing about is never actually funny at all. The last time I remember it happening I was literally just laughing about a stapler. I don't know why.

I've also woken up crying too. I think both things are pretty normal.

Here's a dream I found quite amusing when I woke up:

>A little kid gets on one of those plastic toy cars you can ride on

>The car is suddenly disturbed in a weird way. Now the car is wobbling back and forth, wobbling the baby with it. But the baby stays on.
>Someone in the background says, "When that kid grows up, he will ride the pussy!"
>And someone else says, "Nah, when that kid grows up he'll be an autistic rollercoaster!"
>And then someone finally picks the baby off of the wobbly car.

Actually my emotions (>>1314) were founded, I cried because someone killed my grandma in that dream, and laughed at a friend's silly joke in the other. I would've laughed IWL too.

Overall, looks like some emotions override sleep paralysis, or they show up right after you wake up and can move your body.

>>1412
I remember one about people doing fun commentaries too, a band was playing and one guy on stage was a used-to-be-shy guy. Someone near me said that that guy was "out of the bread". I asked him what that meant, he said that the guy stopped being shy and that's like freeing yourself from being trapped inside a loaf of bread.

This might be the first time I remember something akin to a "creative expression" and it actually makes sense when I wake up... Somewhat

I dreamed about attending a conference or thesis defense. Suddenly I realized as he was speaking that i was sitting next to Georges W. Bush. He spoke in French fluently, and told a pun that goes like this :

«Si ma femme m'ennuyait, je la battrai, etcetera (elle se taira)»

«If my wife bothered me, I'll beat it, etc. (which sounds a tad like "she will shut up" in French")»

I laughed heartily. I was the only one in the room chuckling after he finished. Then he stood, we shook hands and he leaved the room.

GNO, not really laughing, but I did one night wake up screaming "WHOOOOORE, WHOOOOOORE!" at some woman I saw in my dream.

For a long time I thought meditation was just some dumb religious hippy soykaf. Many recent studies have turned their attention towards meditation and it turns out it's actually quite mentally beneficial. Even better is that it doesn't require you to become delusional and believe in karma or whatever. If you're at all interested then I suggest reading Waking Up. Sam Harris is a neuroscientist better known for criticising religion.

Also Mindfulness in Plain English for those who suggested it. I'm only up to the second chapter and it's already claimed meditation can give you psychic powers and vipassana will show you the reality of the universe. Protip: it won't.

I've seen suggestions for it in a bunch of different places. Always in the context of it being a good how-to for vipassana meditation. So while it might spurt soykaf claims, it could still be very useful. Just need to filter out and disregard anything delusional. Which is just one reason why I'd suggest reading Waking Up first.

Though as yet I haven't read any further so I still don't have an opinion on whether it's of any use at all.

In which way you think meditation helped you?

More specifically, did it do you any good in a situation where you felt strong resentment toward someone? I have some kind of child-like behavior whenever I feel my trust or integrity had been abused and always enter in an ice-cold mutism for whoever hurt me while hate wrenches my hearth and guts in the meantime. It lasts hours after the said person is gone. At the end I feel sad and empty. I don't know if this caused by too much pride, childish reflect or plain pussyness mixed with the common decency of not going into passive-aggressive mode. I would like this soykaf to end anyway, or at least controlled.

Post most memorable/impressive dream you have had so far!

Heres mine:

Since i started my "dream diary" two days ago i had my first lucid dream it was pretty short but it went something like this:
Suddenly I was staring into a mirror at myself. Flickering overhead flourescents lite up what appeared to be a public washroom. The image of the place was crisp and wonderfully vivid. Suddenly the me in the mirror spoke in a hurt kinda shallow sounding voice yet there was only my expression on its face "Please don't go, the reality you know is nothing more than a consolidation of everyones dreams, and its been slowly wearing on you" (or something like that). just before the dream ended i realized that it was my lips had been moving subconsiously the entire time... then i woke up

So, I had a weird dream a few days back.

My two roommates left me in my room. One of them is Asian. I decided to sleep in the Asian's bed.

I woke up in the bed a while later and found out that the bed was full of Soykaf. There was a strong and thin string of Soykaf a few feet long in the bed that I somehow overlooked. It had a layer almost like a plastic bag, but more fragile and thinner over some parts of it. There were various stains and other Soykaf that I also missed when getting in the bed. I don't think I even pulled the covers back. I'm pretty sure I just barely moved the covers enough to get in the bed awkwardly.

Anyways, I'm out of the bed now and covered in Soykaf, when my two roommates come back. The Asian is mad that I was in his bed and I ask him about the Soykaf. We get in a conversation about him and I find out that it's his fetish. It took some detective work, but me and my other roommate were disgusted.

Then I woke up. I don't like either of my roommates.

What does it mean?

First entry is June 30 of last year, so I'm coming up on a year. I've almost filled two composition notebooks with about 350 pages of words.

Oh yes! Went from about one recalled dream a month, to one or more nearly every day immediately. Recall falls when I get tired of writing them down, but I have yet to go a week without an interesting dream.

Writing down the mundane dreams seems to pay off in that overall recall is easier, so when interesting ones come around I can write more about them.

I usually write them out first thing in the morning. But I also rely on my memory quite often and simply replay the dreams in my mind to help recalling them later.

Like last night I had 4 dreams and it took me 30 minutes to express them in words. I just don't have time for that during workdays. I have a really messed up schedule and I tend to sleep very restlessly, waking up several times a night. It's a hit or miss if I can recall anything in the morning but if I do it's usually 2-4 dreams.

Started just over 2 years ago as I started university

I think it has helped me recall subsequent dreams

The biggest benefit is when I go back and re-read dreams
I notice how my dreams connect to my life and reveal my thoughts, feelings, fears, etc.
Plus it can be entertaining. I've had some funny, and disturbing, dreams.

My entire life I've never been able to see my face during dreams or even be able to picture my face while I was awake, so my dreams have either been of a hooded figure who I assumed was me or the face was just a blur. I accepted this as normal and continued on with my life for 12 years until yesterday while napping on the couch I had a dream where I was standing on the edge of a cliff looking out at the ocean and I was looking at myself from behind, then the 'camera' started to go around my body until it reached my face where it focused on it and started to zoom in until all I could see was my face and whiteness around it.

Usually if this happens the face is all distorted but this time I could actually see me, but it was sort of fading in and out. I wasn't doing anything or showing any emotions, just looking out at the ocean.

Anyways, what do you guys think this means? Have I finally found out who I am? Is this my subconscious saying I'm ready to die?

Sorry if there was any bad grammar, English is not my good language.

I don't recall ever seeing any faces during dreams. It has just been blurry mush although I'm able to identify the person in a way. But today I took a short nap and had an unusually vivid dream. I saw a face this time, clearly. Not sure if this has anything to do with me trying to improve my visualization skill or if I've never just tried to focus on the faces in my dreams before.

>>227
Well, the most obvious theory to come from this information is that trying to be social made you think of how you present your face more, which made it appear in your dream.

Personally I tend to remember things and dream from a first person perspective. When awake I tend to whip up some arbitrary substitute character for my voice and appearance when I do go away from first person perspective. Seems less like I can't envision myself and more that I feel as though I shouldn't bother, that I should actually seek mutability in traits I don't see as really defining.

When dreaming, I usually do seem to have my own body, though I rarely out of my way to make sure. This is often sidestepped in a way by having the dream be of playing a video game, but at least one time I just outright started out with a sense of playing the role of a character and that I should just roll with not being me. But this was also that dream that acted all dumb and artsy.

The last dream I had that went lucid

I was sitting in my house, which for some reason had a counter to buy things from which I apparently worked at. I was with my mom.

Some guys came in to collect a debt, and were generic scary guys in suits. I said I had to use the bathroom and went. I had found a wallet earlier, it was on the bathroom counter, and was stuffed with money. I was debating using the money of whoever it belonged to to pay them off, when I realized I was on camera going through their wallet.

I realized that it was illegal to have cameras in bathrooms and started to become lucid, looked down at my hand and it was deformed.

I woke up shortly after, unable to control anything else.

I've had two lucid dreams and they both happened the same night. I had been trying for one week by keeping a dream diary and checking my hands regularly and a few other things. When I realized I was dreaming the first time I panicked. I started flying just to get some kind of experience out of it but then the dream slowly faded out and I awoke.
The next time I found myself standing in a very dirty bathroom. It looked like something from a horror movie. I looked into the mirror and figured I was dreaming. Immediately I felt how the dream started to fade away. I started walking around in circles so I wouldn’t wake up but it didn’t work.
Both dreams where wasted. That was more than one year ago, but after that night I pretty much lost interest. Now I’ve found this board and I’m starting to get interested again. Maybe I should give it another try.
