This is my first thread in this guild, but this is something I have been pondering. My intention for this thread is not to merely be a place to discuss dreams and the possible meaning or implications of dreams, though that is one aspect of it. I would also like to discuss dream-like feelings in an concious state.
The other day I got the strangest feeling that everything was fake. I was scared and entirely convinced that I wasn't where I was supposed to be, that something was "off". I couldn't explain it. I was on the phone with my boyfriend at the time, but I was also convinced that it wasn't him, but a voice inside my head or my conscience. In other words, I was struck by a spell of paranoia. After a while, I realized that everything was "real" again.
A similar feeling overwhelms me after I step out of the bath or a swimming pool. I just don't feel like I belong.
I am curious to see how many people share such odd feelings. I would hope they could use this thread to try to explain whatever odd feelings they might have in certain situations.

Odd feelings?
I get them alot.
I call them 'Tinglies', and I ususally get them when something bad or a big event is supposed to happen. My 'tinglies', though, are more phsical than most people's. When I get that type of sensation, not only do I feel that something is 'off', but the ground beneath me starts to shake, and I'm the only one that can feel it.
I don't know why I get them, but they tell me when something's just... going to happen.

I've had cases like that... I find it the most awful feeling. I tend to get very scared when it doesn't pass soon enough. It's almost like everything around you is so fake, you're the only thing left that's real. Or, sometimes it's the opposite way around. I become completely engulfed by this creeping sensation and I feel like the world around me is crushing me while my panic rises...

Im not sure if dreams have meanings, they may be just sprouted off of something you may have seen, thought of, or it may be something that is going to happen, something you want to happen, or just a way of coping/escaping from reality.
For any of you who have seen the movie Pulse, i guess I could say that it gave me nightmares (only it was a few weeks after I had seen it). For some reason I dreamt that there was a guy and his girlfriend (teenagers, no clue who they were, but I beleive my mind just made it up because of that movie, which has something that shows people dying and a girl ands a guy in it). For some reason they came across an electric fence, and he grabbed it without knowing what it was. Everytime he was able to let go, his brain had been fried enough that he had no idea what was going on, and he would grab the fence again. (this happened about 3 times before i made myself give it an ending because it was upsetting me). All the while his girlfriend was trying to pull him away, but she couldn't and he had no idea what was happening. In the end he died and was cooked all the way through his body. At the time I was dreaming it, it was very freaky.

I too get weird feelings. every once in a while it is like my body doesnt belong to me and it is moving on its own for a few seconds. Also, sometimes everything seems to speed up, and it feels like every sound is yelling at me (this has happened ever since i was very young.) I hate it, i start hyperventilating and i feel like i have no control. The speed up thing lasts a long time(more than the times i feel like i dont control my body).

I always feel odd.....you might want to check out the Enigmas and Mysteries thread if you want to know why.... As for my dreams...I can usually be found with my friends from school (none of which are on gaia).... They are as follow: Jesse (older twin brother), Ryan (18 year old brother), Justin, Ryan (no relation), Matthew, Benjamin, Marcus, Grant, Franklin, d**k (he prefers this over Richard), Bradley, Peter, and last but not least Kenneth (my fiancee). We are trapped in a maze and running around trying to find our favorite foods....because when we do we're teleported to the center of the maze, where we will find what we most want in life. Whatever that was....my alarm clock woke me up before we ever got to the end of the maze....

The times where i've felt like that i really doubt about my mental health because i always try to explain odd things and odd feelings, and when they don't have an explanation, then i it's me who's wrong.
Far from the fact that i'm really into a psychiatric treatment and that stuff, for me.. the world is what the world is. Everything's about physics and chemestry and maths, all the universe is about it and everything must have a cientific or at least a philosophic explanation.
Well, that's my opinion.

I must say that I am pretty rooted in reality as far as I can tell. I can think about odd things, but when it comes down to it if I'm awake I know exactly what's going on with me. I can give myself slight virtigo if I move my head just right sometimes, but that's the extent of my ability to throw off my senses really.

Oh yeah. I get that detached feeling alot. I think it has to do with changes in homeostasis most of the times.
I've had dreams like a story though.
It never ends
They're all out of order though and sometime indistinguishable
but I do remember a specific story line

I sometime's get the feeling my body is walking in front of "me".
My soul or whatever you wanna call it.
It feels slightly like you would before you faint.
But I don't faint when I feel it.

I get feelings like that loads! I just randomly, for no reason whatsoever, just feel like nothing is real, not in a way i can really put into words, i mean it's not like the matrix or anything, but just that nothing actually exists. It kinda gives me a bit of a head rush, and makes me feel . . . not sad. . . melancholy? Kind of, but not.
I also have some wierd kinda visions sometimes, like a couple of weeks back, i was really reall tired, and i felt competely normal, all my perception and everything was just fine, but i had this little thing in the back of my head, just where this part of my mind was trapped in this maze.
It was all black and white, and it was like a normal 3D maze with corners and everything, but at the same time, it was a spiral in the same dimensions, but also spiralling in some unkown number of dimensions, and in the walls were more spirals in different dimensions that i could walk into as well, but they were still the walls of the 3D part of the maze. It was really confusing, and i can't really describe it, cos it wasn't normal perception.

Oh! Those feelings you have no idea. Those feelings are the reason I'm deemed the weird one in our group of friends. Randomly during the day, I'll space out. Or rather it'd be a blackout because I have no idea of what's happening with me, but I can see... the world, I guess you could say. I can see all my friends and everything that's happening. Except everything that's happening is happening without me. They're frightening experiaences really.
I also have weird dreams. Not weird dreams as in "ohemgee, a zombie was chasing me", but I see real things. Things that could and often do happen in real life. I guess you could call them visions, or even part of the dejavu phenomenons, but the dreams almost always relate to my life or the life of my friend, and the things I see could happen the next day, or the next year, and even multiple times. It's amazing, and I'm proud of it no matter how much I might fear it.

I sometimes get the feeling that I'm only an observer, not actually taking part in reality, but it passes after a bit.
I also sometimes feel an odd realization that I'm me. It may sound odd, but it's just like - BAM. All of a sudden I start pondering why I'm me, and what it is to be me...
...
It happens at funny times too, people sometimes wonder why I appear to be spacing out.

I had this strange dream last night where my friends and I were thieves. We were breaking into this HUGE building. My friend Ryan was the hacker who shut down the security cameras, but couldn't shut down the moving laser alarm thing. My fiancee and my friend Brad were snipers, hanging out on the roof counting the guards they shoot. They made a game of it......XD My friend d**k, was with me. He knew how all the thief equipment worked while I, being a gymnast, am very flexible and agile...... So I went in, turned off the lasers manually so he could crack the safe. The contents of which was a treasure chest filled with pirate booty..... The villain of this dream, my ex-girlfriend, Stacy, the one I was with before I met my fiancee, Kenny. During the time I had this dream, Stacy was trying to break up Kenny and me as well as turn our friends (the guys mentioned above) against us.
