What's the most vivid dream you've ever had? Did you wake up in the middle of it?

I have vivid dreams all the time, and always seem to wake up just at the crux of it.. when something dramatic is going to happen.. literally every time! It's almost like my brain goes into 'wake up' mode if it gets too stimulated!

i have had dreams like that.  i once had this dream when i was with my ex-boyfriend, in the dream i was getting ready to go out on a date and i was really nervous, but at the same i was so unbelievably happy.  now, unlike you i couldn't really see his face it was blurry or what not, but i knew in my heart that he was hot.  well the other day i was getting ready for a date and all of sudden everything was just like my dream, down to the little details of what i was wearing and things i was thinking of.  so when my date came to the door, of course i was unbelievably happy.  and i knew that he was the guy that i had drempt about, about 1 year before.  i like those kind of dreams.

dreams do not always mean what they are about. they are more of subconcious memorys. \nwhat do you do?  what can you do?

Yes I have had meaningless dreams; just dreams about everyday life.. Then later on. A day, a week, a month, that exact thing happens the ezxact way i dreamed it.

I don't know but this has happened to me quite a few times. The weird thing is sometimes I have a dream with in a dream with in a dream. I keep trying to wake up, but I just wake up with in the dream. It can be pretty scary. When I finally am able to wake myself up, it feels like I'm zapping myself and like physically breaking through space/time in the dream. I try to sit up in my dream when this happens and sometimes this works to wake up. But it feels as if I am like resuscitating myself. Very odd. This doesn't happen as often as it used to, and when it did, I was going through some stressful times in life. Maybe it has to do with stress? It's hard to say.

I've had a couple life altering dreams...one that I believe familiarized me with a future boyfriend who was going to help me change the course of my life and another that I believe was an explanation as to the major purifying event/time in my life that I would go through.  Both of these dreams have stayed with me for more than half of my life.

I shared a room with my two brothers and we had a bunk bed with a pull out bed that lay on the ground. I was on the top bunk, sleeping. I had a horrible dream that I was falling off a cliff, then I landed with a hard thump. The landing woke me. I looked up and couldn't figure out why the ceiling was so far away, then I heard my brother wheezing under me. I had fallen off the top bunk. All I did then was climb back up and fall asleep to the rhythmic gasping of my older brother.

The best dream I had I remember vivdly, In 1992 my older  brother committed suicide and right after the funeral, he came to me in a dream and he said to me,"David, I am sorry Please forgive me, I love you" That healed me up right away.\n\nAlso in January 1993 I had a dream where my brother came barging into my room and said,"David there is going to be an earthquake, you need to be prepared." After yelling my name three or four time when I opened my eyes, the earthquake hit and I just rode it out.\n\nThose are my best dreams, I have never told anyone them.

Well, there's nothing for certain. But I have surely had several dreams that have become true. Like everything in it. Gives you the sensation of deja-vu.

I honestly dreamt about it on 3 occasions. One time he said "well done"....I must admit I hid my face in shame wondering how he could take someone with so many flaws. Waking up that morning left alot of questions in my mind.\n\nAlong with other things, that dream helped change my life

I have dreams that are SO realistic about being in Nazi germany during the worst of it..(I have no members of my family that were there).I also speak foreign languages in my sleep that my husband says are very clear, but he doesn't recognize the language.(We both know some German, though).. (One of the other lives I think I've had is in Cleopatra or Nefertiti's time.)

I usually remember what I dreamed about most nights.  Some nights it's really silly and fun to recount.  As I'm waking up more now, the details of last night's dream are beginning to fade.  But I do remember one thing.  I was shopping for a new mattress that doesn't shake around when my husband gets up, sits on the side of the bed, and works his socks on.  Man!  He makes an earthquake in the morning!  It's probably the dream I was having WHILE he was putting his socks on.\n\nAnyway, I like this question.  I wouldn't mind answering it every day!\n\n:)

Annoying when responders can be too bloody literal, wouldn't you agree?\n\nI was walking last night looking up at the stars and wondering almost the same question, "Is this life a very long very detailed dream we'll someday wake out of?"\nI myself have incredibly vivid, sometimes wild and unbelievable dreams, and sometimes so real that it's a distinct relief when I wake from it. \nA friend and I have thought that some of the more fantastic "almost another world" sort of dreams are just that, our celestial bodies mingling with other realities and possibly other parallel planes of existance. \nOf course I can't prove any of that, it's my own personal experience, but it's real for me and therefore valid.\n\nI myself have experienced what Prof Beatz mentioned about not being able to make lights come on, and not being able to read things written on paper (though I have sometimes and I get the feeling if I could just remember what it said it would be very revealing).\n\nMatrix really spooked me because of my open-mindedness, but if it turns out I'm on some feeding tube of the worst stuff possible and still able to be this real in my mind, then I'll take contentment for the moment. \n\nKeep seeking your own answers....

I dream in color 99% of the time.  I really can't recall dreaming in black and white.  I'm sure everyone is different, however, to some extent.

I had a series of 3 dreams that were months apart, but all took place at the same location (in dream sense, not physical location of my body)...  The first was a wedding, MY wedding, though I've never been married, and I was unsure of which person I was, the bride or groom... couldn't see any faces except the priestess's face...\n\n2nd dream in the series...  a funeral... MY funeral... closed casket, but I KNEW it was me, you know how dreams can be like that...  roughly 40 people, all faces a blur except for the priestess again... same one...\n\n3rd dream in the series...  began with me walking through a museum... dark, nearly too dark to see, but you could make out displays and whatnot, but I was compelled to just go past them down a long hallway, a few stairs here and there usualy in groups of 2 or 3... at the end was a door with light coming from the cracks... it was the same temple where my wedding and funeral took place... EMPTY except for my casket, the priestess, and the regular trappings of a funeral... as if nothing had changed since the people left...  EVERYTHING covered in a thick layer of dust, even the fresh flowers were covered in dust, yet not even remotely wilted... EXCEPT for the 2 wedding rings, they didn't have even a speck of dust on them... my spouce's right next to my casket, and mine about 10 feet away, closer to the area where an alter would be expected... I asked the priestess through mind speach if these visions meant what I thought they meant...  She just nodded... then I awoke.\n\nFrom these dreams, I leared a great many things about my life, mostly vague impressions of things to come...\n\nOne meaning that I hadn't picked up on at first was my call to shamanism...  I later read the book "the Spirit of Shamanism" by Roger N. Walsh, M.D., Ph.D. which revealed to me a common thread in shamanism is visions of death and rebirth that often come as a "call to arms" if you will.
