Have you had a dream so pleasant you wish it is real?

I have a dream several days ago that I have this wonderful woman by my side and we are happily walking on a beautiful place. It looks so real. Then I woke up when my sister banged the door as she enters our house. I was so upset and its funny that I tried sleeping again hoping to resume the dream where it got interrupted. Of course it's gone. So have you experienced a pleasant dream you wish is real?

What you were experiencing is called lucid dream. It's a state of a mind when someone fully enters the world of dreams that their senses are actually feel the real thing. Lucid dream isn't a random event. in fact, it could be triggerred by certain practices. I myself don't know what the practices are, but I've experienced it 1 or 2 times before. What I know is you must pass a few stages to enter a lucid dream : 1. stage 1 : fully asleep I suggest you sleep when you are very very tired. that way, it will make your body relax more. 2. stage 2 : the scary thing begins !! in this stage. you'll enter a dream, but not the real thing. it's some kind of passage to the lucid dream. you'll be facing your fear (zombies or spiders or anything you scared of..). Try not to wake up. if you wake up, you have to start over. My experience : I remember that I was being chased by hungry zombies and I see a door in front of me. So, I (unconciusly) ran to the door, open it and shut it fast. 3. Stage 3 : at last... This is the lucid dream. well, you've made it this far. all your senses will feel that it's real. but actually it's just a dream... If you watched "Inception" movie, you may know what I'm talking about hehhehe... just sharing my experience

A lucid dream is a dream where you know you are dreaming. It doesn't have to be vivid or feel real. And the "stages" you describe to get to them sound very phony to me. I've had loads of lucid dreams, but I've never had to pass through some crazy passageway where I have to face my fears to get there. The only thing you need to do to have a lucid dream is to realize you're dreaming. Dreams that feel realistic are just hyper-realistic dreams. You can have a realistic dream and not know you're dreaming, hence not having an actual lucid dream. Personally, my most vivid dreams have been lucid dreams, but not all of my lucid dreams have been vivid. Get it?

I would often see in dreams that am driving a huge car. I would see those dreams, when I was young and I did not any car at that time and also I did not know how to drive a car. Your dreams appears pleasant and it would be better if you are not married, try to get married soon.

My friend request is 'pending' with you. If you don't want me to accept as your friend, you can very well reject it instead of keeping it pending.

Yeah, I have had dreams like that. Oddly enough, I can't really remember enough of most of them to describe and one of the few I can I don't want to get into. But I know I've had dreams in the past that once I woke up and realized it was just that--a dream--I was pretty disappointed during the initial realization.

It's interesting that I only remember my nightmares and rarely remember the good dreams. I cannot recall when I exactly had any good dreams but I can remember easily on the bad dreams and obviously doesn't want it to happen in real life. Sometimes though I feel like dejavu in my real life cause it seems I somehow remember the real events happened somewhere beneath my mind, maybe in my dreams. Life has some mysterious ways..

the only way as i also experience on how to continue that dream is by upon you wake up, you should close your eyes immediately for an interval of not more than 1 minute in order to resume and sleep again no matter what.... if more than 1 minute and you sleep again, nothing, to continue your current dream is failed or impossible.

if its a nightmare type of dream, you should do it reverse, in order to not to continue the current dream, let's say, stay awake for 10 minutes, then you may now freely sleep again.....

Gosh going to the toilet? That reminds me of what my friend told me. My friends youngest brother, who about ten at that time, went to the toilet in the middle of the night and when my friend woke up, she saw him sleeping with a petticoat on. He was so sleepy that instead of wearing his pants back on, he mistakenly put on a petticoat. We didnt bother asking whose pettocoat it was, we were rolling about laughing.

Hi greenpeas! Yes, I had dreams that I wished it was real. I can't remember any specific dream right now but most of those I wished were real were finding solutions for problems I was currently facing that time. I sometimes bring to myself problems that I am facing and when I dream, I dream of solutions. The moment I wake up, I don't remember the solution but I know that I was dreaming about it. Sometimes I know that the solution was possible to do in real life and I just can't remember what it was so this makes me wish more that the dream will happen in real life. Sometimes I just wish that there's a way that we can record our dream and play it back.

For some reason, it's the bad dreams that I remember, or sometimes the ones filled with nonsense. I have had dreams that were interrupted. I would try to go back to sleep to finish the dream because I wanted to know what would happen next. Of course, I either couldn't go back to sleep or would start a new dream about a different subject.

I am sure I had such pleasant dreams when I was younger, as I had such nightmares, too, that I did welcome the timely interruption. In the recent past though, I can't recall if I had slumber scenes at all. Perhaps dreams are for the young...

Yes, I have had some wonderful dreams in my life that have felt so real, that I was disappointed when I woke up to find myself in the same old position. But.. I have also had dreams that were so bad, that I was very grateful to wake up and discover that they weren't really true in my everyday life. There are some good lesson to be learned from dreams I think. _Derek

Yeah, I've had lots of great dreams where I didn't want to wake up. Or when I woke up I was really disappointed. Recently I had this dream where a boy that I really like and I were sitting next to each other in an empty parking lot. Teenagers played basketball nearby, and the sky suddenly lit up with some beautiful Aura Borealis-type lighted colors. I remember thinking, "This is so amazing... he's actually paying attention to me." And then I had a fleeting thought, "...but only in dreams." I drifted awake after that.

Well yes, I usually dream like this so often that when I wake up, I literally write it in a piece of paper. Some of my dreams is so pleasant, it can be made into a movie or a book.

It is those euphoric dreams that are not real that we wish could be. We are often discouraged at the thought. Unreal or real, a pleasant dream can be so much more than that to us. It is our world and what we choose to make of it,

There was one dream with geometric shapes and numbers ending in 0 maybe angles but I was disappointed I woke up and my aunt told me go to the city hall. I could have been einstein by now if the dream continued
