I woke up again, but am not sure if I woke up from my life or from a dream. Both are horrifying and I do not understand. I lie down and immediately I am in a world that I recognize but it continually changes. Then I wake again into the same type environment. I am not sure anymore if I am dreaming or awake. I go to my doctor and all he does is smile but then when I close my eyes during a blink I am at home, or what I think is my home. I think I am crazy at times but not sure which place I am crazy in, the dream or the woken state. Today I bought a gun. I knew that if I was in a dream state, then I could not produce the paperwork needed but I got it right away with no questions asked. I carry the gun with me all of the time. Who knows when my dream will go wild and I may need it? I can not take chances any longer. My life is out of control and I am scared. I must have killed somebody. I know I am in a gurney because I can’t move my arms and legs, I see three bottles of some chemicals, and there is an IV attached to my wrist. There is a priest or somebody next to one of the guards and he is praying for my soul! I am going to die, they are going to kill me. But it must be a dream! Yes, a dream and all I have to do is close my eyes and I will be back in the real world again. I close my eyes and no, it is the same here too!
I once dream't that I was awake, but when I woke up, I was asleep. I think you left out the funny part.
Hi Joe and welcome to the forum! I did not leave out the funny part because it was not supposed to be a funny story. The guy could not discern between his dreams and reality and winds up waiting to be executed.
I understand. I should have been tipped off by your title. I used to think,that if, during a dream, I was able to stop and declare "this is only a dream"!...that I could then control the direction of it. But, alas...I have been unsuccessful. Thanks for your welcome Richard.
Dreams are pretty unique things, Joe. We do have a section about dreams here that you may find interesting: http://www.seniorsonly.club/forums/dreams-interpretations/
Sounds a little like Matrix is life as we know it real or are all of us dreaming and can not wake up? I found the movie to be very thought provoking?
Dreams are sometimes enchanting that I get a feeling that it's not just an ordinary dream but something else like a message from afar or a premonition things to come or maybe myself wants to tell me something. That's why I have learned in recording my dreams for me to be able to analyze it. Upon waking up, I would relate my dream to the tape recorder and would analyze it later. Most of my vivid dreams are just dreams and I couldn't find anything. But one time, I visited my mother and a fortune teller was there. I told her about my dream of a big house that was not mine but I felt so comfortable in it. My analysis of that dream is that I would have a big house - we were apartment dwellers so it is presumed that it is one of my dreams to own a big house. But the fortune teller said that I used to live in a big house, in my past life. Huh.
