Hello, speaking of dreams..

For most my life I have had really vivid dreams but the bigest thing that stands out in my dreams are my feelings and weird events. I always feeling strong emotions of some form uasualy love or fear or worry. My dreams also have alot of houses that I have never been to and they are uasualy haunted in some way with very detailed layouts and in most cases i never seen the outside. I have also dreamt of witnessing the end of the world with me as a lone survivor. And being on a ship with a mayor telling me that space doesnt exist and i was shown a big table display of a map with a dome over it. And I was the "princess" who is some kind of ruler of the earth, he also showed me a window and i looked out there were giant trees people used as houses. My point is my dreams are super vivid detailed and feel all too real. Does anyone else experience this. Id like to add I do not take any meds at all so idk why this happens to me. I often wake up feeling like I visited an alternate reality.
Thanks for this!

I have a lot of vivid dreams, have dreamt I was various people and ages, male and female, and often with vivid images and intense emotion. I always have and I think it"s just a matter of having a big imagination. For the most part I love having it though some have been dreadful, like wading in rivers of blood type dreadful.

I've had dreams about the end of the world too but, only when I was living a christian life and trying to serve Christ as best I could. I mostly dream nightmares or stuff that makes no sense. Once in a great while like maybe a few times a year I may have a good dream. Even so, I prefer the dream world to this world. I know that if I want to I can take control in my dreams and do as I wish but, I had to stop that long ago because my dreams were becoming so realistic that when I was awake I began to wonder if it too was a dream and that was scary. But, yes, I too sometimes have intense dreams where I can see certain things well and feel emotion and even sensation.

I also have very vivid dreams. But I also have issues with false awakening, Google it if you need to now. I often have trouble sometimes recalling that something was a dream and not real life, because the dreams are so vivid. I recall them like I would a real memory. I often go through the day in a fog after a very vivid dream because it feels like I have been pulled from another universe back into our reality. It makes me feel a little bit like I'm going crazy.

I am able to tell the difference between dream and reality, it just makes me a little foggy and confused sometimes.

Wow we are all saying the same things here, Funny thing is I too had the end of the world dreams when trying to be a Christian. I have felt many of my dreams had a theame it was like i was someone of importance in every one., I got to a point where i had had such an amazingly emotional dream i wanted to force my self to sleep for as long as posible weird that I cant recall that dream anymore when it wasnt even that long ago, but i will remember ever little detail for like a few days then poof only bits and peices.. it makes me sad. I love dreaming i really think that dreaming is going into alternate realities or something they are just so real, and weird thing is when im awake i have alot of brain fog its hard to explain but in my dreams everything is so clear so i was thinking maybe this is the dream ..but thats not true obviously

I had one really vivid dream —seeing my mother happy, sitting in the back of my minivan while I was driving it. I was looking at her in the rear view mirror, struck by how happy she was. The Wind was blowing her hair around. This was not long after she died.

I had a second hyper vivid dream about my husband, also after he died. This was an anxiety-provoking situation we were in, but he was calm and proceeding normally, as usual.

I think those dreams showed your healing.

They say that dreams about the interior of a house are reflections of your psyche, your inner consciousness. And, so, the condition of the rooms, the details, point to aspects of your mental and emotional world. For me, I believe it's true.

I have dreams, every night, that feel so real that I wake up feeling more tired, stressed, and fatigued. I spend most of my day in a fog and then do it all over again. I'm an unmedicated schizophrenic, the longer this goes on, the harder it is to differentiate between dreams and reality. To me this is all very disheartening. And as just a side note, apocalyptic dreams in relation to Christianity come from the fear the church uses to keep you "faithful". I'm no expert on dreams or Christianity, and certainly not trying to offend, that's just my opinion from personal experience.

A lot of times I've completely awakened consciously in my dreams. It's called Lucid dreaming. You can jump up in the air and start flying around like superman. The 1st time I jumped off a two story building was terrifying because it felt so real. One time while running I fell and hit my knee which hurt a lot. So dream world can be very real feeling. Regarding alternate realities, maybe by chance you might be interested in the Mandela effect. A lot of people are posting youtube videos on it. A lot of Mandela events seemed true to me, but the biggest one that made me feel it was real was the Star Trek one where Picard often plays with this big long crystal in his office. I was like "WTF, I've NEVER seen Picard fiddling with a big crystal in his hand before on any episode." After some research it turns out to be true.

Look up lucid dreams. Sometimes I realize I'm dreaming I say holy xxxx this is just as real as waking reality but it's a dream because things don't seem right or logical as in real life. It's amazing and as you say a whole other reality. You can learn how to do this with control and then do healings and many other creative things.
