Worst nightmare ever!

[draftguru151]

So last night I had this crazy nightmare and about 30 different things went wrong/crazy but I won't get into most. The whole theme of the nightmare was for some reason I missed the draft! I was freaked out and my computer wouldn't work and I couldn't find anything out and I get to school and the Dolphins picked Levi Brown and a bunch of random guys I've never heard of. I was FREAKING OUT. Then I woke up and still thought it happened for a few minutes and then realized it was a dream. Crazy stuff.

So this is kind of a mix between crazy dreams/how to tell if you are addicted to NFLDC threads.

[snuff]

im sorry ?

[princefielder28]

As a young boy I would get nightmares of my twin brother getting kidnapped and I would chase after the vehicle but could never catch up :(

[dabears10]

I used to have dreams of glittering phallus when I was a kid. Michael said it was just a fun toy.

[JF4]

It's now safe to say you are addicted.

dude that blows

Only girls share dreams...

Once I had a nightmare that Scott had a cold.

Which we all know never happens.

It was scary though.

Dreams are caused by the random firing of neurons in your brain during sleep. They are meaningless, so you're better off ignoring them (especially since about 90% of what you "remember" of your dream is stuff that never really happened in your dream, your subconscious simply created a lot of filler for what you can't remember).

Its a dream and this isn't a Stephen King novel so I think your safe.

Shut up you.

[Staubach12]

I dreamed that the Cowboys sold the franchise and became the Los Angeles Devils. Weirdest dream I ever had.

[NIN1984]

I thought you were gonna say Miami signed David Carr.

Frogstomp since your a psychology major can you explain my deja vu to me? I get it pretty often.

Well, they are neuron's firing, but calling them absolutely random or meaningless is going further than most are willing to.

I mean, hell, we still don't know why dreaming occurs and why those who are deprived of REM sleep show signs of temporary psychosis.

You're not truly addicted until you've actually dreamt about posting on the forum. :confused:

i hope you know that this is now going to happen to you

I appreciate that. I'm actually pretty ashamed of myself right now. http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif

[jetsfan3]

Usually if I have an important sporting event game coming up and the night before I always dream that we lose and like I blew in the game.

I also had a nightmare that I was banned.

[cunningham06]

Worst thread ever!

[SuperMcgee]

I had a draft dream last year.
I missed half of the first round becuase I was playing hockey in my backyard. Coming in from the backyard of course brings me to the draft, and I came in at the Eagles pick, but instead of announcing a pick, it was just Donovan McNabb playing the guitar. The Bills ended up with Huff and pretty much only safeties. Should've taken that as a sign.

[TACKLE]

I had this weird dream where Rex Grossman led his team to the Super Bowl.

Frogstomp since your a psychology major can you explain my deja vu to me? I get it pretty often.

I don't have a psychology major but I heard somewhere that it is because your brain run slow for a few seconds. It is like your brain understands the information coming from eyes/ear only a few seconds after they actually get to the brain so you live the instant twice: when you get the info and when your brain analyze them the first one not being totally clear seems like a blur memory

It has nothing to do with psychology it is more a hardware problem than a software problem ( me nerdy?? NAH!)


Anyway that what I understood

[frogstomp]

Well, they are neuron's firing, but calling them absolutely random or meaningless is going further than most are willing to.

I mean, hell, we still don't know why dreaming occurs and why those who are deprived of REM sleep show signs of temporary psychosis.

What? Essentially, dreams are (*very* strongly) believed to be the result of your brain testing the connections it has made in your brain. In order to test these connections, it randomly fires off neurons. When these neurons are fired it creates said dream. Obviously, if you think about something a lot there will be more connections, which increases the chance of dreaming about said thoughts. That doesn't mean your dreams are significant, however.

I'm sure most of you have had those dreams where you think you figure out big ideas? Well, there was an experiment done with people, who were given pens and paper, and were told over the course of the next 6 months to write down any ideas they may get during their dream the very second they wake up. 95% of the things written down weren't even real words. Dreams are pretty much nonesense, because there isn't any pattern to the fired neurons. Example: You have one neuron fire of your mom's voice, and one neuron fire an image of a dog. You now have a dog talking in your mom's voice. Weird? yes. Significant? hardly.

Once again, if you see that sleep (REM sleep) is for testing and repairing connections, you'll see why not getting enough REM sleep will cause minor psychotic elements. Your brain isn't functioning properly.

Dude its not a dream for me. I knew for a couple months that my cousin is getting married, and on Sunday I found out the date is April 28th. I am really praying he decides to delay it.
At least I'll see day 2.

[frogstomp]

Frogstomp since your a psychology major can you explain my deja vu to me? I get it pretty often.

Essentially, it has to do with our memories being crappy at best, along with the fact that we retrieve memories based on cues.

When you think back to like 3 or 4 years, most of what you remember will be a few real details, surrounded by what your brain assumes happened, based on details. When you cannot remember something correctly, your brain fills this in (subconsciously, of course). This is why two people will often have opposite memories of one event... their brains have created a different history of the event.

Anyways, when you see something, like a dog that may remind you of another dog, your brain automatically is cued to remember the original dog. When this happens,you don't consciously realize that you're reminded of the old dog, you just think "I've seen this dog before." Your brain tries to retrieve a memory of this dog, but you have none, so based on the cues you're given, your brain creates the illusion that this has happened before.

I explained this horribly, but hopefully it's good enough.

[Big Mike]

i can honstly say i've never had a nightmare. Only nice dreams.

That's a lie. You just don't remember the nightmare.

[Big Mike]

That's a lie. You just don't remember the nightmare.

I guess that may be so. But i cans say that for sure I have never woken up in the middle of the night due to a nightmare. I know that for a fact.

Maybe nobody does though and its just what they do on Tv. Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night. DOes that ever happen to you?

You can wake up from them, but that's not what usually happens.

Anyways, you dream around four times a night. It's a statistical impossibility that not one of those has been bad.

[WMD]

Example: You have one neuron fire of your mom's voice, and one neuron fire an image of a dog. You now have a dog talking in your mom's voice. Weird? yes. Significant? hardly.

Well, that depends on how you feel about your mom, and if the dog is a female.. There's the significance.

Haha, excellent. You've disproved my theory, I'm just going to sink into the background.

[IndyColtScout]

I literally remember my dreams 2 or 3 times during every week. For the last couple months, it been almost every other night.

Listen to the two dreams I had on seperate nights last week.

1) I wake up and in the corner of my room, next to my fridge, stands Satan himself. No words are said, I also have no sense of fear. I go over to him and neal down (i am not a devil worshiper). I bow my head and ask for a taste of him unlimited powers (exact words). He grants me this wish. I wake up the next morning. My friends and I decide to throw the football around. One of my friends throws me a rocket, and it stings my chest a little bit. For some reason this makes me angry. What happens next is quite funny. I live about 5 min from downtown Indianapolis. The tallest building downtown is visible from my back yard (the bank one building). I tell my friends to never test me again/make me angry or bad things will happen. My friends start laughing at me. So I point at the bank one building and it instantly begins to fall as if it was imploding. Later on in that dream, my friends and I are playing baseball. I hit a bomb that gets at the warning track, and I become really pissed. So I decide to make multiple tornadoes terrorize the metropolitan Indianapolis area. THE END.

2) This one is every stranger. I murder a woman on my college campus. It happens inside the womans bathroom. I slit her throat and leave the body in the staal. I leave the crime scene and go to class. After class I hear people talking about a dead body thats been found on campus. I decide to go back to the crime scene. When I go into the bathroom, I see all the blood everywhere. Next I start noticing all the police around me. I quickly leave the crime scene and start obsessing over the fact my life is over. The end of the dream is me walking through the business building continually telling myself "WTF did you just do? You are going to jail for the rest of your life you idiot." I say this over and over again and then wake up.

So I ask Frogstomp this... If dream are meaningless, why are my dreams so detailed oriented? It seems like there is some underlying message here. No I am not some crazy ass or murderer. I just have some freakish dreams that seem very real.

Because, to your brain, this is real life. If you get laid in your dream, it's the exact same thing to your brain as it is in real life. Essentially, your brain is being presented the world as if you're awake, which means it should feel real... because, to your brain, it is.

[IndyColtScout]

=whatt the f****

You're telling me. It's not like I am wanting to have these dreams.

[Big Mike]

You're telling me. It's not like I am wanting to have these dreams.

i know. im just saying it interesting. my dreams usually involve sex or me beiing a CFB star, or something like a special agennt etc. Stupidness really

[frogstomp]

On another note, lucid dreamers can shape their dreams however they want.

That would kick ass.

Yeah, that's not even close to what I'm talking about.

If a lucid dreamer was having a nightmare, they would a) know they are sleeping, and b) be able to turn the Godzilla about to eat him into a naked Jessica Alba about to... whatever.

[IndyColtScout]

Here's another example of a wierd dream I had the other night. This one is a short one.

Tornadoes hit Indianapolis. Just south of Indianapolis is an area called Greenwood/Center Grove. This is where the most damage has been done. For some reason I am in my car and near the area after the tornadoes hit. A Walgreens has been damaged severly. Half the building is collapsed and the other half is still standing. I decide to go and check if people are trapped in the rubble. I end up helping quite a few people out of the rubble. The last person I end up helping is in the half of the building still standing. A girl is trapped because of a shelf that has fallen on top of her. I lift the shelf off of her. She is ok. She decides that she needs to repay me for helping everyone her repayment: A slow dance. Music starts playing in the half of this Walgreens still standing, and the girl and I begin to slowdance. Then I wake up.


How F'n strange are my dreams?

Yeah, I tried for like 2 weeks and all I was able to do was know that i was dreaming never could i control anything and i was only able to know i was dreaming once. However, it increased my dream recall which was cool.

Your friend was either born with the ability to have lucid dreams, or is bullshitting you. You can't use any techniques to acquire the ability to have lucid dreams.
