So...

...but if you're like me, and your first good LD involves firing off kamehamehas everywhere...It's a bit hard not to get excited... XD

Sute tells me that she has dreams where she does that to tornadoes all the time. She apparently has really good control over her dreams. I've only once done that, and it was more of I have psychic powers I can move stuff, kinda deal. But I did make an energy ball thing and I moved it with my mind. Cool stuff.

I see that I haven't been around for about two weeks :o

I wish I could do that to tornadoes. I used to have nightmares about tornadoes. Heck, I remember this one dream from when I was a kid where our whole family was in the car, going down the highway, and suddenly a tornado came out of nowhere. It hit the car and sent it sailing through the air - god, I can still remember the sickening feeling in my stomach as the car tumbled around. I also remember hitting my head on the ceiling, which hurt (I mean, whatever happened to you can't get hurt in dreams?). The worst part though was, I woke up, and I still felt like I was tumbling through the air, and I could still see the inside of the car with my eyes closed - I had to leap out of bed just to get my bearings.

YAY! I had a lucid dream! So I was in the back of my car, with a friend, and my mom was driving. She was also talking on the phone. I happened to glance at the clock, which said it was 9:28 PM. But it was daylight outside. I pointed it out to my friend. My mom whispered into her phone, "They know, head to the lake now!" So I started panicking. Then I though, "Hey, if it's just a dream, I can control it." So I made the car do all sorts of stuff, go around in circles, go down hills at extreme speeds, everything. When I though it was time for me to wake up, I simply drove down a steep hill at high speed and into a busy intersection. When I woke up, I felt like I had just gotten off a roller coaster.

Then, sleep paralysis. When I tried to go back to bed, I couldn't move. Couldn't talk. Couldn't scream. I heard noises. And the only feeling I had left was pure terror. It lasted for about five minutes. It was horrible. :shakeno:

But the lucid dream definitely made up for it.

Talk about a high to a low. Was that your first time getting sleep paralysis? I used to get it all the time but it's gotten a lot better recently. Basically if I just stick to a normal sleeping schedule and don't wake up too late then I have no problem. If I do get it, though, the best thing to do is just wait it out especially if it is a bad one. Sometimes it's pretty light so I can just "roll" out of it.

so, I've been in Arizona for a week, got back today (about 11:30am). it was pretty fun, lots to do, and things to see. we went to the top of one of the mountains, I think it was like 2500 feet above ground level or somthing like that. also went to a water park, it was fun but seemed kinda dinky for AZ. when we got back today it was raining cats and dogs, and so dad says "welcome home!" lol so yeah I cant wait till we go back next year. (we went to Phoenix btw)

and on a side note for today - Phoenix has a high of 102, and Waterloo has a high of 61

Tornadoes are a recurring theme in my nightmares. Its really weird. Always when my dreams turn sour, tornadoes show up.

I had a dream during my last deployment that we were receiving mortar fire on the FOB, so I went with a bunch of other guys to lay low in a bunker. It was so intensely real that I thought it was all really happening. All the sudden, a mortar landed right next to the bunker and exploded. I could even feel the heat of it. I was so sure that I had really died that when I woke up, I thought I was waking up in the afterlife. I slowly opened my eyes to see it was just my room and I had fallen asleep in the middle of the day while I was waiting to get the word to start gearing up to head home.

I still have dreams like that, but tornadoes usually show up, and then I know its just a dream.

[MasterSwordUltima]

How come it seems that I'm the only one that doesn't seem to remember his dreams?

I usually just wake up feeling "meh".

[Skulkraken]

Most of the time, I can only remember fragments of my dreams. Like, I'll remember doing something in my dream, but I don't remember why I was doing it. :S

@ Anthony: Oh gosh... >_< That must have really really freaked you out. I feel for you, man.
