-- Truth or Myth: If you die in your dreams you actually die?
Pages (4): « 1 2 3 [4]

So basically I have learned that I don't have to fight to stay alive in my dreams and sacrafice a good night's rest!

*and some other stuff about sleep and dreaming*

Thanks!

LOL @ the people who think it's true.

The underneath part of it constricts the blood vessels a lot more, thus the side-effect described below is incredibly more pronounced. I'll wake up like that at some point in the night and I literally have no movement at all of that arm. None. Like I will look at it in the dark and I'll make the thought to move my fingers or to raise my arm, but there will be absolutely no response. You feel urself trying to move your fingers, but you simply cannot. Usually after several minutes when I guess the blood starts to flow through my arm and hand again, I can start to bend it at the elbow or be able to actually lift my my arm again, or be able to move my fingers around. Its still longer until i can do something like making a TIGHTly held fist though. Then what is followed is the most intense 'pins and needles' sensation EVER. Its Beyond words having that unique, shocking sensitivity surging through the entirely of your arm (not just like your foot!) But I've long ago gotten used to it, and it doesnt bother me the way it used to anymore (much like upper body sunburns). Constant exposure breads tolerance. Im not even unsettled anymore when I wake up with my arm entirely, completely "asleep" (the way ones foot can and does fall asleep, only much more drastically). I know you just gotta wait it out, then all's normal again. First time it ever happened it terrified me, though, I recall. But this would have been well over 15 years ago.

Jamie, just as a word of warning man, you can do serious damage to your body if there is prolonged lack of blood circulation. I would not recommend falling asleep while you are doing "the arm stretch".

I'll read your posts later but...i just had to say, this isn't the Matrix!

Yeah, I never do it on purpose, and it happens rarely, once a week maybe, not sure. It happens enough though.

Ill mention such a point to my doctor next time I have reason to go see him, get his opinion on potential concerns that may be there I should be conscious of.

But there are interpretations of what happens in a dream and it's meaning ... read Sigmund Freud's Interpretation Of Dreams. Einstein Theory of Relativity was proven to be true years after he died ... and yet it was as true as it gets ;-)
