Has anyone here ever had a dream of waking up? Ever had more than one in a row? Did it get confusing during the day?
1) Yes
2) Not that I can recall
3) MaybeI had such a dream. I dreamt I woke up, got up and got dressed. At some point, I no longer recall when, I really woke up. I was confused, but only for a little while. It did not impact the rest of my day.
The first one that I remember happened one night, at home, back when I was still going to elementary school.
I was on the blacktop playing at recess, and then I realized I was dreaming. I was still asleep. I was in control. So I flew. Up and I went, sparing above the playground and higher above the grass. Now I was in the light blue sky like a bird.
I felt so good. No backpack holding me down. No parents. Just me up there. Free.
Growing up I also often woke up and would fall back asleep quickly to finish my dreams. Random stuff that’s hard to put into words.
I used to have a reoccurring dream of riding on a rollercoaster. The entire dream was me going through a kaleidoscope of a coaster, sitting up and then on my back. It happened maybe once a month for many months, also in my childhood. Often I hoped to have it again, but I wasn’t in control of when it happened.
I loved roller coasters.
I had an extremely vivid dream of my death last year. I remember thinking that if it was a dream then I wouldn’t have actually died, because all of my life I’ve heard that people never die in dreams – they wake up before death, and this time I didn’t wake up before I died. I was really dead and witnessing the aftermath. I wasn’t sure if it was real but I was so in it that I was just there taking it all in, unsure if I was a ghost or what that meant that I was there watching my mom cry over the accident location. I had died in a bus crash, b”H that was a very powerful experience.
Has it happened to you RebYidd23?
*Ooops I meant “soaring” not “sparing”
Thank you. 🐥
I wonder if you can create a sign for yourself when you’re awake, and use it in your dream to prove whether it’s real or not.
Several times I have dreamt that I was dreaming but I have never been able to continue a dream after waking up. In any case, the Taz says that we do not know how to interpret dreams and Rav Aviner says that today they are meaningless because we are swamped with info from all sides and they come out in dreams. Once I dreamt that people were speaking in Russian and woke up annoyed that I did not understand my own dream.
“I wonder if you can create a sign for yourself when you’re awake, and use it in your dream to prove whether it’s real or not.”
In the dream, try to read the entire Torah (assuming you don’t have it memorized).
