A dream in a dream

RE: A dream in a dream

Hi Jellybean
When this happens you are experiencing a form of "lucidity" while dreaming, i.e you think you are awake because the reality seems real.

Normally you can snap out of this state but at times the brain induces what is termed "sleep paralysis", where you then can experience different kinds of phenomona...

(when I've had this I try to turn the light on, but it never works!...or I try to make a phone call but can't speak into the receiver[:-])

Then I really wake work:eek:

Hi again Jellybean

'fraid there's no g/tee of it not happening again....at least you know what it's all about if you do experience it again.

I know this is completely irrelevant but as you can see, Im new to the forums and was just wondering how you get a piccie come up with your name?

go to the top of this page
click on 'Forums'
click on 'My profile'
scroll down til you get to 'My avatar'
make sure 'upload my picture' is selected
then click on 'chose avatars'
click on various gallery choices
when you find an image you like, just select it
it should then upload that image next to your name (hopefully :))
