This morning the wife had to leave before dawn (that never happens) to deal with a family matter out of town. Shortly after I went back to sleep I noticed red & blue flashing lights shining through the mini-blinds. Peeked out the bedroom window - there were several police cars in the street, lights flashing, and some officers were shining flashlights & looking in through the living room window. I don't know why my first impulse was to hide from 'em. Then I remembered our bedroom looks out at the backyard, not the front.<br /><br />Ever notice how the dreams that start out with you waking up in your bed are the most real?

Maybe, subconciously, you got something to hide ;)

Re: An early morning visit from the police

My strangest and most disconcerting dreams are when I dream I've done something really, really bad, and I'm afraid someone's going to bust up the foundation *right there* and dig up the buried evidence. Those are creepy dreams!<br /><br />I far more often dream that am fourteen again and I have gone to school, and I have either forgotten to get dressed or my clothes have simply disappeared.<br /><br />The best dreams I have are when I dream I can fly. Those dreams always leave me with a sense of calm and well-being throughout the following day. One time I flew up so high that the landscape looked like a map. Sometimes I just float up to the ceiling and laugh at everyone esle because they cannot fly.<br /><br />Sometimes something terribly funny happens in a dream and I will wake up laughing.<br /><br />Dreams can be frighening, strange, wonderful, funny, or just plain bizarre!

Re: An early morning visit from the police

I walk and talk in my sleep especially when I am really worn out. One time my wife woke me up and I was microwaving some fish sticks. I barfely remember but she said she asked what I was doing, I got mad and told her I was making her someething to eat. Then I went back to bed.<br /><br />Another time was one of those half awake, half asleep things bot really a dream. My wife had left for work, I had just returned home from work. I was in bed just getting to sleep around 9A.M. I always sleep with a television or radio on for background noise. When I went to sleep there was a western movie on. I had a very busy night at work and a few very stressful calls, so was on edge anyway. Just as I drifted off listening to the TV, I started dreaming or thinking in a haze of the events of the night before. I faintly heard one of the cowboys on the movie **** his rifle. Sometime about then, to my dream state it was an instant later but may have been an hour later a truck went by on the street out front. Our house was so dumpy that when the farm trucks went by the windows shook. Suddenly the truck backfired. So to me in my dream state I heard the gun action working, heard the windows rattle, then the big bang. I hit the floor crawling down the hall to the spare room where my gun cabinet was to get my weapon. I woke up fuly somewhere in the hallway, still sweating and scared. Until I heard the truck bang again, and took about 5 minutes to convince myself it was only a dream and a truck.

Interesting, I hate the flying dreams; mine are usually in an aircraft, sometimes open cockpit & I know I'll fall any second, other times on a commercial jetliner going sooooo slow we're about to fall out of the sky.<br /><br />My favorite dreams are the ones where I've forgotten my clothes...wait, I wasn't supposed to tell anybody about that...forget I said it...<br /><br />But seriously the dreams prompted by actual sounds can be really spooky.

I have these too. I am usually kinda half the pilot and half a passenger. Usually trying to land the thing in some sort of bizarre circumstances; have to go under a bridge and then over a building and then land it inside the terminal, or something weird like that.<br /><br />

What's odd to me about the sound driven dreams is that like DD's the dream fills in the blanks BEFORE the sound i.e. hearing the gun "kock" and then the BANG to go with it. When logically if the BANG is the driver it really happened and then the mind added the "kocking" before the BANG. Very strange . . .

Re: An early morning visit from the police

have any of you guys ever woke up, you knows you're awake but you can't moved at all? no matter how hard you try to move you not able to move until several minutes later. It felt like something is holding you down. This had happened to me several times, I opened my eyes and see the room but couldn't do anything. The first time it happened, I was really freaked out. After some searching, I guess this happened to lots of people. According to the expert, when you're in between unconciousness and conciousness the part of your brain controlling motor functions doesn't work.

"part of your brain controlling motor functions doesn't work" - like maybe the component (might be a solenoid, or relay) that keeps you from sleepwalking fails to disengage?<br /><br />Nope, that never happens. Sometimes I dream that I woke up & can't move...then I really wake up. Or...is it the same thing? [cue theme from Twilight Zone]

Re: An early morning visit from the police

I have had several dreams where I was falling...and hit the ground pretty hard. I splattered all over the ground. I know this, because as soon as I hit the ground, I start floating upwards to watch me splat on the ground, yet I can still feel the pain of hitting the ground....talk about freaky :eek: <br /><br />Then there are the times I keep going up a roller coaster...up...up....up...up...up. <br />It is like it is never-ending, and of course I am in the front car(go figure). Then when we get to the top, there is no rail on the other side, so we just keep falling into abyss. :eek: :eek: <br /><br />But on a lighter note...I can control my dreams. If I do not like what is happening, most of the time I can change my dream to whatever I want.

Re: An early morning visit from the police

I wake myself up from "half sleep" all the time. I will be dreaming I am falling and I try to catch myself, but In doing so you jerk yourself out of the chair you were sleeping in............My personal favorite was a few months ago I fell alseep during a meeting and woke myself up by trying to slam an imaginary brake pedal (dreamed I was about to crash) Yeah I pretty much looked like an idiot.

Re: An early morning visit from the police

Wow Pony - maybe if you slept in a bed, you wouldn't be sleeping during meetings! :) <br /><br /><br />I usually don't have dreams, at least that I remember but last night I dreamt that I was walking through the woods and came across a frozen over pond. Some kids were ice fishing and pulling in the biggest large mouth bass I've ever seen - I mean HUGE 50 inch bass... and lobster...?<br /><br />I don't understand it. It was 60 degrees here yesterday when it should have been 20...and nobody ice fishes around here....and there aren't any lobster, let alone 50 inch bass around here!

Re: An early morning visit from the police

Heycods, that still happens to me...it's near the end of the final semester of college, and I realize there's a class I was enrolled in but haven't attended since forever, and I am hoping no one will notice it.<br /><br />I must have some deep-seated feelings of guilt, or something, having these dreams where I am trying to conceal something.
