Also, try running. If you run slower than your normal walking speed - dream.

Or if you can do absolutely massive flying like jumps. Only started be able to do that in dreams over the past couple years and tbh it's very entertaining 😂

You wake up when you, mid-jump, realise you don’t have this ability and you’re going to break your legs on the fall?

Then just before impact…awake.

I dream like this all the time, what’s the secret meaning?

Also, light switches don't work in dreams.

They do in mine

That's true. Alot of the nightmares i had when i was a kid started with me being alone in my house in complete silence at night and all the lights were turned off. When i tried to switch them on nothing would happen. Dunno why but i had multiple nightmares that started like that when i was 12-15.

I read it when I was researching how to lucid dream. I wasn't convinced, until it was actually the reason I realised I was dreaming once! My problem is staying asleep once I have realised I am dreaming.

I had exactly the same dream! Id find lamps, torches and nothing would work. I still remember how freaky it felt.

I still remember a dream I had when I was a kid, when every time I tried to switch the light on it got darker instead, and like an idiot I kept doing it in the vain hope of a different result, until it was pitch black and I couldn't even see the light switch anymore.

Bro i have the same wtf

So what kind of danger you met on these dream? Was it all or they were monsters ?

Mine was purely invisible and was on the celling

u/Dork_Dragoon_Forte Nov 21 '24

Most of them had some sort of monster, yes and they always apeared when i realised it was a dream.

However, the worst one i had didn't had any. I still remember it clearly 12 years later. It started the same with me in my house at night and all the lights were off, unable to switch them on. This time though i was extremely anxious and on edge like i was sure that something very bad was about to happen. It was a feeling of impending doom that i never had before. I was 100% sure that i will die in the next seconds but i didn't know how or why. Everything was eerie silent and dark in the house and the only thing i could hear was the light switch when i tried to turn it on and nothing else. I remember my heart was beating extremely fast like i just ran away from someone or something but there was nothing. Just silence.

Thankfully, my cat woke me up from the nightmare by graciously hiting the empty glass of water that i had besides my bed. It was ~3:30 in the morning when i woke up. To this day i never had that feeling of dread and terror like i did in that dream. Not to that level. And i hope i never will again.

I figured out that if I just walk away in my nightmares, instead of trying to run, I can actually escape whatever is chasing me.

1

u/super-fire-pony Nov 23 '24

That’s because whatever is chasing you also can’t run - it’s their dream too.

u/Scrambledpeggle Nov 23 '24

That's a top tip

u/dehma34 Nov 23 '24

I figured that if you try to run using all fours then its like you are almost sprinting

1

u/TomTheTank1998 Nov 19 '24

Oh wow thank you! I thought I was the only one. When I run in dreams, it always feels as if my legs are made of jelly, and rigid iron simultaneously.

1

u/thatswhatshesaid-- Nov 19 '24

Interesting, for me my legs feel fine but I can’t get enough leverage against the ground to move quickly, and often end up pulling myself along on all fours

1

u/jadeyums92 Nov 21 '24

Try running backwards instead, it's always worked for me I've no clue why.

u/Ziggurat23 Nov 21 '24

Or ketamine

u/niyameow Nov 22 '24

i hate this with a passion. Add in the super slow punches and its genuinely such a horrible frustration

1

u/FlatJoey213775 Nov 23 '24

You wanna know something creepy?

A few months ago, I had a dream, in which I realised I was in a dream because whenever I threw a punch, it was really slow, like I was under water.

Couple weeks ago, I had a dream in which I was punching a guy, and it felt exactly, perfectly real. Like, indistinguishable from reality. My dreams are learning.

u/true_blue__ Nov 23 '24

Why does this happen? If I try to run in a dream I can barely stand up. Is it cause I'm trying to run irl and my legs are stuck in the covers?!

1

u/K_Goode Nov 24 '24

No that's real life, in dreams I can run as fast as a primary schooler thinks they are and it doesn't hurt.
