Calling all Demigods! discussion

I know there's a DREAMS topic, but these don't blend in. We came daydreams.

I'm addicted to daydreaming, especially about my favprite books and my own stories. I talk to my charries. I visualize a scene...the problem is, I'm way too old for this.

Anyone else?

... I just said, that's completely normal...

Dude, who are you to say you're too old for that? You're still a kid.

I LOVE DAYDREAMING. :D

Occasionally I fall asleep while I'm daydreaming...xD Ah, ignore me.

Am I?

I've never posted my age, Whim. And besides, http://www.scientificamerican.com/art....

It's very obvious, Jo ^^

Page not found, BTW.

Rule of being really-and-truly-mentally-unstable: If you think you're actually insane/bipolar/mentally problematic, you aren't.

I had a daydream about Spyro.

I was still trying to de-thrown Princess Schmedwina...




Maybe I should stop right there. xD

LOL WTF. PRINCESS SCHMEDIWINA?! xD

SO I SHOULD CONTINUE?

YES!!

YES.

*ahem*

Once upon a time in a land not-so-far-away but not-so-close, there lived a family. And they lived in a house. In this house, they slept. And one night, while they slept in the house that they lived in, the little girl of the family had a dream...

I was dreaming about having a dream. Then, I woke up, not remembering anything from my dream. I could tell it was a Saturday morning, because I didn't feel sleep-deprived and no one was home. Going about my usual routine, I went to the kitchen for some eats. Then, for some weird reason, I went to go get the mail e.O

I NEVER get the mail.

But I did this time. And when I stepped outside, I was on a mountain-cliff-thingummy. o>O I turned around to walk back inside the house, but it wasn't there. I was so confused. Then I kindof ignored the fact my house poofed and made my way all ninja-like to a village I'd seen at the bottom of the hill (using my eagle-vision, of course)...

I'll finish the rest later. :p

LOL XDDDDDDDDDD

I day dream all the time.
Hell, I day dream before I fall asleep.
Often, that's how I fall asleep.
Then my day dreams and regular dreams (and possibly freakish nightmares) are blended.

Like the model I used for Peyton in The Concealed is UBER hot, so I was day dreaming about going on a date with him and then I fell asleep and we were in India and I was like 'Yo, what just happend?'

I usually listen to some music while move my hand to the rhythm and "painting" swirls and flowers and jewlery and owls and people.

Oh, and BTW, there's this proposed tehory that people who live in their daydream world is MD.

Is what?

Maladaptive Daydreaming.

I'm not kidding.

Like t..."

I totally daydream ALL the time. I look forward to uninteruppted daydreaming time in the car or before I fall asleep. I thought it was just me. Apparently not. My daydreams are weird... apparently I'm not the only one who daydreams about being at Hogwarts or on the Enterprise instead of their crush...

Yes, you're not. I keep daydreaming of going to Narnia and Hogwarts and Panem.

Panem? I would only go to Panem in my nightmares.

I meant living in District 4, swimming in the sea, only without the Hunger Games. Or being in the New District 12...

The Capitol seems kinda freaky though...

I know.

But I have reason for the other two.

I daydream about scenes with my charries all the time. I love to think of what they'd say with who in what situation and when. I thought I was crazy, but I see I'm wrong.

I also daydream about telling off my health teacher. Or giving him a good well deserved b*tch-slap. Whichever comes first^^

Or both at the same time.
ZOMG (that was for my brother's benefit), I just typed (or, as my Keyboarding {AKA typing} instructor says, "keyed") 'both' as 'bothe.' I do this all the time...

Unless you've had severe psychological trauma or abuse, you shouldn't worry...

*jewelery

I paint music and thought all the time. It's called automatic art.

I wish I could do that. I haven't the patience to keep a dream journal, either. I sometimes write, though.

Ever read the book The Night I Disappeared? I think the main character had that, though she was never diagnosed. It fits.

There is a difference between Dreaming and Daydreaming.

You can control your daydream. You can not control your dreaming at night.

Well, depends, Shay. Some people can control their dreaming, meaning that they know that they're dreaming.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for the clarification, Ivi.

Lucid dreaming-- that's a whole different matter.

I had a joint lucid dream with my friend James once. Unbelievable but true. We had a conversation in the dream. And we were quoting each other.

No, Maggie, I haven't. Is it any good?

What's a lucid dreaming?

That's what the internet is for.

1. How did you do that?
2. I still don't get...

...

Just click on a link...

A lucid dream, in simplest terms, is a dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. The term was coined by the Dutch psychiatrist and writer Frederik van Eeden (1860–1932).
A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes it is a dream, while a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state, with no apparent lapse in consciousness.

Lucid dreaming has been researched scientifically, and its existence is well established.



As for the link, it's LMGTFY.com

Yes, I read the one on Wiki, but I didn't get it.

How do you not get that?

It's a dream in which you think to yourself, "I'm dreaming." And you can control that dream however you want. I had a joint lucid dream with my friend once, which basically meant we met each other in our dreams and had a conversation, one which we both remember and can quote from.

Wiki is not always right.

I spelt that one wrong...

I get it now. I've known I was dreaming before, but have never been able to control it...

You spelled octopus wrong.

Wikipedia is generally right. I did a report on that last year for French. You can check the viability of the sources by scrolling down to the bottom.

I've always been a lucid dreamer.

I know I spelled it wrong.

Why in French?

I might have been a few years ago.

*spelled ;)

Because I take French? It was an assignment, lol..

I mean, why do it in French?

It was an assignment for my French class...

What for though?

A reporty-debate thing. . . . For school?

I was just wondering why it would be in French and not Language Arts.
