you're just not looking at, I mean reading, the right magazines before you go to sleep.

of course I have to sleep on my back for the first hour, waiting for the swelling to go down, but my dreams are very pleasant.

Not nuts at all marc26.

Dreams may or may not be a manifestation of your subconscious. Sometimes you may just have had something bad to eat before you go to bed.

I don't know if you've ever heard of lucid dreaming. It's basically dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming. Dream Control. I thought it sounded like a lot of new age hocus pocus but I've tried the techinques and it does work. Helps if you have nightmares to know that it's only a dream and you can control it.

I could have told you what magazines to read.

I used to have falling dreams, always woke up instantly and took a while to get back to sleep.

Used to have a slight fear of heights and I think that brought it on.

Has not bothered me for years but I saw the new King Kong and when KK was on top of ther Empire State Building I felt a little bit of it due to the cinematography. Actually started squirming in my chair for a minute and then I was fine.

I used to have this recurring dream. It used to start off the same. I'm at school, at work, or whatever. I'm going through my normal routine and then I realize I'm in my underwear. Not underwear I would normally wear like boxers or pjs but tighty-whities. The strange thing was that the people I'd interact with in my dream never realize it.

Weird...I used to have it when I was younger so it could just be my subconscious telling me I was unsure or insecure.

Either that or you dream of becoming a Soi Paradise boyshow dancer !!

Anyone ever had sleep paralasys ?? Its like you half wake up and become mentally concious but your body is still alseep and uncontrollable.. You can thrash about a bit but cannot really coordinate movement or wake up.. Its kinda freaky and happened to me a couple of times...

I nearly drove a car once sleepwalking (or whatever you would call that) !!! Long story !!!

Dude, if I had a diesel body and a ginormous ****, I'd totally be a male stripper. The women in NYC grope these guys like there's no tomorrow. I'd get paid to be tugged.

The sleep paralysis happens to me regularly when I'm really tired or on an erratic sleep schedule. It usually happens during afternoon naps, not really at night when you're going to bed. There's no know explanation for it. A lot of New Age peeps think its an out-of-body experience. Personally I think it's because your conscious part of your brain becomes active up before the part of your brain that controls the involuntary muscle movement. It's still freaky the first time it happens but once you get used to the sensation, it's more irritating than anything else.

good resource for it:

Yep, but only once thank god, scared the crap out of me, I was only 10 or 11.

Laid in bed for what must have been 5 minutes without being able to move a single muscle, I couldn't move anything.

I see reading the link that is often associated with narcolepsy, which reminds me of an ex's friend who had it, and she was a hairdresser!!! she would fall asleep cutting people's hair with the scissors still in their hair

I remember one day helping her to move house and we were driving into London and chatting away...but the next question I asked went unanswered so I glanced over and she was fast asleep....less than 4 or 5 secs since she had shut her mouth....crazy condition and very dangerous!

had this happen a couple of times but not in recent years, thank Buddha.

one school of thought links this to the explosion of reports of alien abductions - believed by many to be a modern take on the 'hag' phenomena and related reports of succubi and incubi in medieval times

What about the sensation of falling. Havnt experience it for a number of years, but did before that.
