Hi all,
I had a dream last night and it was bit upsetting to me in a sense, now I know I shouldn't worry but I'll explain why it upset me a little bit. First off, I'd like to tell you's 2 of my thoughts on dreams, now I'm probably wrong on both points but I figured I'd share my thoughts, I'm using an estimate of 8 hours cause that seems like a good amount of sleep time, anyways here's my thoughts...
1) Sometimes I think that when were dreaming, in the dream world time isn't as much as factor than real time in reality. What I was thinking is, what if 1 hour of dreaming is like 8 hours in the reality, which is why when we dream if we can remember the dream when we wake up, we only usually remember certain aspects, or if we can recall the whole dream it seams like a short dream which doesn't seem like 6-8 hours of events?
2) I was thinking maybe when we dream the stuff we don't remember is because were not lucid at that point, so maybe time in dreams is the same as time in reality, maybe we do actaully dream of 8 hours of stuff, but it only seems like say 1 hour cause maybe only 1 hour out of the whole time were dreaming were lucid, so the lucid part is the part we remember when we wake up?
Now this is the dream I had, I always see myself in 1st person view, so I can see my arms,hands but it's like I'm playing a 1st person video game. As far as people in my dreams, I never get a detailed view of there faces, but as far as everything else goes I'm able to see in my dreams, whos' who, where I am, ect, I know whos in my dream and who it is, just that faces aren't as clear.
This is the part of my dream I remember when I woke up in the morning. I had a dream that I locked my brother in the shed in our backyard, the shed, the scenery (our backyard) was pretty much the same as in reality, for some reason I locked my brother in the shed sor of like I was trying to kill him, I remember him being in the shed for days, no food, nothing, pounding to get out, at this point in my dream I don't think I was lucid cause the dream basically just happened without me having control, as to why in my dream I'd lock my brother and hurt him or try and kill him in a dream I have no idea, I'd never do that in reality...there was a part in my dream where others in the dream were saying your brothers going to die, he's starving, ect...but those were like voices in the dream but with no actaul person telling that to me in the dream....at this piont I'm not sure how long the dream had been going on for (remember the time thing I said above), at this point something must of triggered me to become lucid, I don't know if was caused by the voice I heard, or if it was because my subconcious was asking myself is this real or not real, but at that point I remember myself being 1st person view as I always am in my dreams, that I went to the shed, I stuck my hand out and I was able to make the door bust open, while breaking the lock in pieces...sort of like having powers, and being able to make the doors bust open with the intent of my thoughts, m brother came out, staggering, and the we brougth him inside, then the dream ended, I think once I freed my brother lucidly, I lost the ability to remember what happened the rest of my sleeping time...since I know that I didn't wake up right after I freed m brother.
I think somewhere during my sleep while I was dreaming I became lucid, since I was lucid I was able to control the dream and pretty much do what I wanted to, which was to free my brother...it's almost as if when were not lucid were not in control but once were triggered somehow that we can be in control or lucid, then we realize we have the ability to alter the dream, also I don't believe I went astral or had an OBE, but any thoughts would be much appreciated, thank you.

thanks, I hate how "official" interpreters take everything so literally. They would say you secretly hate your brother and need to vent. Lol, but I don't think so.
