- One time I was dreaming in the morning when someone came and rang
- the doorbell to my house in real life. I heard this but I
- interpreted it as some guy was standing in my room ringing a bell. I
- suppose I was actually half awake, because I then heard my mother
- say 'oh, someone is at the door' and I woke up and yelled "No, it's
- just this guy in my room ringing a bell!". Needless to say, she
- thought I was insane. ^_^
-
- On a (perhaps) related subject: What happens when you have to use
- the bathroom in the middle of the night? I find that I will
- incorporate this need into the dream. So, I get all sorts of dreams
- about needing to use the bathroom badly, and either (a) there are no
- bathrooms to be found for miles around, (b) there are some but they
- cannot be used for some reason (dirty, or broken, whatever), or (c)
- I do use the bathroom in my dream, but because I don't in RL, it
- still feels that I have to use the bathroom so I will tend to wake
- up. Maybe this is incorporating physical things.
- Also, sometimes I have dreams where in the dream I can't
- open my eyes. I think this is maybe me noticing that my eyes are
- closed in real life?
- Finally, every so often I will have a dream where I notice
- that I am paralyzed, I think this is me noticing that I am paralyzed
- in real life (during a dream, apparently the brain doesn't send the
- right signals to the muscles so that we don't REALLY go jump out the
- window etc. ^_^).
