I was in a Boeing 737 that had a special shape allowing it to fly and land backwards. I was sitting near the back of the plane doing coke with my dad.

I have, occasionally had dreams that are set in the same place. Over some 20 years I've had a dream set in this same place maybe only 8 or 9 times.
It's a nice little collection of shops & buildings in the middle of a town, something like you'd find in Europe. It's all nice quaint shops, I know the layout of the streets quite well, plus the way that the entrance to the area is.
I have never been to this place in real life, but I sort of feel in the back of my mind, that some day I going to be somewhere on vacation. And then see this place . . . I don't know what it'll mean when I do. That maybe the very next second I get hit by a truck and die right there. Or that I am supposed to live there in perfect harmony with my destiny filled, for the rest of my life??
Smoking large amounts of pot makes the dreams go awayI don't remember my dreams now, but I used to have some pretty vivid ones as a kid.
A recurring one I had was that there was a factory beneath my bed filled with assembly lines, and myself and other kids were in boxes being moved around on them. The scene had a vibe similar to what you'd see in an industrial metal horror video.
An interesting one was of being in a laundromat and having a tiger jump out of a dryer and bite my knee. But, since I was a kid and didn't understand anatomy, my brain processed it like my knee was hollow and the broken skin was like broken glass. It's interesting as an example of how the brain will fail to process things in the setting without the knowledge to fill it all in.
Worst one I had was after watching the Thriller video, and had a dream where everyone walked around with their mouths open and full of the black liquid one of the zombies had. Shit was disturbing.
meh when i was in high school or college, i'd get this kind of sleep paralysis. I go to bed my head facing the ceiling and I'd have FULL consciousness but no control over what I dreamt. I quickly concentrated so hard to wake myself out of it and typically I did.I have quite a similar experience often. Let me start with "The experiment". So, about 15 years ago I had a very vivid dream where for some reason, there was what looked like an old sub/ship wheel hatch in the bottom of my washer. When I went through it, I was in another world. A huge city beside a massive waterfall. I walked around and ate at an old Scottish style pub that served amazing food. The city is definitely futuristic, but like on the cusp of all out next level advanced tech. When i woke up from this, I wanted to dream like that again.
"The experiment" - how to induce lucid dreams. So i started taking 5-htp. l-tryptophan, Theanine, and 4 10mg tabs of melatonin a night. This worked WONDERS. However, its always the same place. the hatch would be in different locations, but I know this city. I've worked there. I have fought off "dream intruders" from this location (still dont know the fucking name of the city). I have saved my wife from falling down the waterfall many times. I eat at the same pub, ive fucked my IRL wife there many times and we have had conversations about this city, in my dreams, and about our life there. Its just like real life, just a different city, and its exactly the same every single time. Go in the hatch, walk across the waterfall bridge where a massive upscale hotel is. It's made of all glass and the UI darkens the room blue on the outside, and is translucent on the inside.
Now here is where shit started to get fucked up. All these meds started giving me (at least its my opinion it was from the meds) sleep paralysis. THIS SHIT AINT FUN. theres a documentery on it called "the nightmare" if you want to learn more. Anyways, I stopped taking them immediately, but i still have sleep paralysis and I still have lucid dreams.
In the end, this city pops up at least 2 times a week for me, maybe once every 2 weeks where i can control it, and about 1 sleep paralysis a month. not sure if its worth what I put myself through, but the shit worked.
I've had dreams like this before. I used to lucid dream all the time when I would take naps on the couch mid-day. One involved being on the ground watching a plane take off, while I was simultaneously *on* the plane.My 5yo jumped on me to wake me, I was dreaming something that I now forget but I didn't wake. Instead I entered an alt-lucid dream mode state. I became sensitive to my RL surroundings by touch. I could feel the sheets on my legs, what I was touching with my hands, etc, but I didn't have control of my limbs yet and my eyes wouldn't open. Instead I continued the dream, but in the dream I could still move and touch things. The things touched in the dream felt as real as the RL things. The dream sounds sounded equally if not more real than the RL sounds. I've seen double before, but I've never felt double before. It literally felt like I was in two places at once. I felt that I had only one set of arms and legs but I could feel with them four ways. I could also sense a space gap between.
I've never had that sensation package before.
Last night I had a dream that my someone got a hold of my bank info and withdrew 190 billion dollars, and my bank honored it and overdrew my account by that much. I was like what the fuck Bank, you text me if somethings fishy but you thought this was the time to honor a transaction?
Needless to say I try to run a tight ship financially, but it's always on my mind.
I laughed way too hardWere they buying NYC a seawall?
