To long ago to remember...

Pretty long time ago. It was the one where I lived with her family, which happened to be poor, and I slept on the floor next to her bed, and her dad offered me his air conditioner when I was going to leave.

Quite hard to know. I almost always sleep thinking about her, not always easy to separate awaken-fantasies from dreams.
Perhaps it was about the end of the last year, when I dreamt we were living together and going to marry, but then confusion stirred up when everyone discovered Marisa was my sister and thus I wanted her to attend to the ceremony(everything went well in the end, though).

I never saw her personally in my dreams. But the closest thing to it would be me reading an magazine article explaining the reasons why even if Marisa something akin to a bored punk in Gensokyo, you still can relate to her better than the average thief or criminal.

>>9064

>everyone discovered Marisa was my sister

Halt! Who is your waifu?!

I've dreamed about her twice: >>/ot/9330 and >>/ot/12105

I hope for more, of course, every single day/night. But I treasure those I've already got with my life (or what is left of it); because, since the waifu inhabits only in one, as a part of (the inner) one, I think it's legitimate enough to say that dreams -a voyage into one's mind- is the only way to ever possibly meet her...

I'm actually going to sleep, right now. Wish me luck, for I sincerely wish the same to all of you. Have very good dreams, everybody, until the best of days when we shall not wake up.

>>9066
>Have very good dreams, everybody, until the best of days when we shall not wake up.

It's both my hope and belief that after death, we dream for eternity. Such a thing would be true paradise, true freedom.
(Yume Nikki spoilers, but really, is there anybody here who hasn't played it yet?)
I'm sure Madotsuki believed/wished for the same thing, and that's why she did what she did.

I apologize for the mostly off-topic post.

I've seen her in my dream once. It was short and very confusing dream.

I was in some sort small room with 5 people. Kurisu was sitting chair opposite me. She was wearing her lab coat. Suddenly her forehead started bleeding. I offered myself to show her where bathroom was and I helped her to stop bleeding. I can't remember did she even say anything to me. After that she just left. Suddenly after that I remember I was in some kind restaurant talking with old couple who claimed to be Kurisu's parents and they said "Are you stupid? She left because you didn't confess your feelings for her."

That was one weird dream and I don't remember it very well. Feel free to interpret that dream. Always when I see good dreams I should write them down immediately so I don't forget them. Still I was happy I was able to see her in my dream.

I don't know, I just have the feeling that once I had dreamt about her and that made me very happy.
However I like to wake up, don't get me wrong, I would love to dream about her. However since the memories created in a dream don't last more than a few minutes I would forget our time together too soon, for this reason I want to forge some memories that will last for the rest of my life, memories about my love for her that I would carry with me as long as this body is able to support me.

>>9068

You call that a weird dream? Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Then again, my dreams are always weird (and usually incoherent on top of that). The last time Yumemi turned up in my dreams, I dreamt that she was Cinderella. Literally. She'd been forced to take up a job as cleaner, and I ran into her as she was cleaning floors and toilets. I even remember thinking "hang on, this is a lot like Cinderella" as I noticed her tattered clothes.

I don't remember talking to her, though - IIRC the dream shifted to an entirely different subject after that. The question "hey, does that mean I get to be her Prince Charming?" didn't even occur to me until well after I had woken up...

>>9068
>>9070
Not talking to characters in your dreams is pretty common. You just never really think to do it, because you convey everything in an entirely different way, which I find difficult to even put into words. It's more like you're... radiating thoughts and emotions at each other, and into the environment.

The last dream i´ve had that was connected to her was about a month ago.
Sadly i haven´t met her, as so often she was only present the same she is in this life, as a thought in my mind.
It is really rare that i dream about her in a "physical" manner. When i dream about her than its mostly me chasing or searching for something that i believe could bring me closer to her.

>>9067
>I'm sure Madotsuki...
I sticked to the interpretation by which, when she collected all the objects and reached all areas, she realized there's nothing more to dream, thus no further reason to exist; which can work either has an acomplishment or a giving up act, but a conclusion -and not an extension- of the dream, all the same...

But your waifu is your waifu. And, like Wilde said: "Death is the brother of Sleep, is he not?"

I don't dream about her nearly as often as I would like to (see: every single night), but the few I did have were pretty interesting, if only for the implications that came with them.
Unfortunately, I've never spoken to her in any of my dreams. They usually involve me looking at pictures of her, which I do enough of during the day...

...But there were two times that I can remember where I did actually interact with her. But they were short.

In one dream, me, her, and her sister were idly chit-chatting while traversing some sort of 2D platforming puzzle. The tone of the conversations suggested I was more friends with them than anything else. I don't remember talking about much: It was literally just random small talk.

My girl's sister is a thrill seeker in every way, so she really likes to manipulate and generally screw around with people and their emotions to get a rise out of them. While we were looking for the exit, she randomly asked me "So, how do you feel about my sister, huh? C'mon, spill it. Who knows: She might feel the same way about you."
Of course I fumbled my words with a bunch of "Huh" and "Hold on!" like any dork would, but my girl just kinda frowned at her while blushing, and flew away from us and to the exit without saying anything. Her sister laughed and flew along behind her, leaving me standing there all by myself. I woke up shortly after.

The other one was shorter, but just as meaningful to me.

I don't know how it happened, but me, her, and a few other people ended up stranded in some junkyard. I was laid out and just regaining consciousness, and she was tied up, crammed under the hood of a dismantled car. I was shocked as shit to see her there with me, but more confused as to why she was like that.

I mustered what strength I had left and kinda crawled over to the car hood to get her out. I threw the car hood off of her to give her some breathing room, then I untied her. When she was freed, she completely ignored me and crawled over to one of the other faceless people who were stranded with us. All I could do was sit there, dumbfounded, before I woke up. Made me think a bit the next day.

So yeah, conflicting dreams there, but God, what I wouldn't give to see her again...

If it matters, I had the second dream before I had the first.

Never...

>>9065
Koakuma

>>9079

Okay, just for fun.

Marisa is my waifu.
Marisa is your sister.
So, I am your brother-in-law.
You, my brother-in-law, has a waifu, Kaokuma.
Therefore, she is my sister-in-law.

Is that correct?

I don't dream anymore
dreadful fate I'm sure
but its for the best I suppose
I'm lying through my teeth, I envy all of you and your ability to be connected with your waifus

>>9082
>I don't dream anymore
mind to talk more about it? (if not, it's ok).

>>9083
I don't even know
Its been so long since I've been able to have a dream of any kind, even a nightmare, let alone one with my beloved
It's just been so long

>>9081
From my poor understanding of family structure, yes, it seems so. Never considered the 'family' could bend back into the 3D world, quite funny.
Oh, her name isn't correct, though.　

>>9084
Could it be that you don't remember your dreams? Memories of those things are really volatile, for years I too thought I didn't dream oftenly, until I started doing those dream-diary-like things.

>>9086

>Oh, her name isn't correct, though.

Ah, forgive me for the mess. It has something to do with how I pronounce her name...

>>9084
A side effect of the pills, perhaps? Are you sure your recall isn't just shot to hell? Try waking yourself up with an alarm in the middle of your sleeping pattern and see if you remember anything. If so, write it down. Continue to do so until you can remember something every morning.

I haven't seen her in a dream in a long time. A few years actually. The one dream where I did see her was one of magic. I thought about the dream the entire day and was really mad that it was just a dream.

I've never met her in my dreams, and considering how I only seem to dream about loved ones dying violently, I hope I never do.

>>9088
No, no. I don't particularly remember ever remembering many dreams, just nightmares and very powerful ones. I'd say I only remember about 1% of my dreams most likely only because my dreams are not very vivid or interesting most of the time so I forget them or confuse them with daily events

It was a year ago I think, it was very quick, I remember lying in bed and when I turned to the side I saw her laying next to me looking at me with a smile. I never felt those kinds of emotions before in my life, the joy, the happiness and the love even though it was less then a minute.

But when I woke up I felt more empty and alone then ever and cried.

Though I mention or think about her in passing frequently in my dreams, I rarely actually see her there. The last time I remember seeing her "physically" in a dream was a few months ago. She was sitting against a wall reading a book. I whispered her name, but I was in a huge rush for reasons I can't remember... so I had to leave quickly. I wish I would have stayed with her.

Today I had a dream about her
Too bad it was just me having bought merchandise of her and examinating said merchandise.
It's really sad, this is the first time in a long time that I see her in a dream and it has to be that way, why can't I dream about her instead of her image? It's like my mind wants to remind me of the fact even when I'm asleep.

>>9101
If you want to actually be with her and interact with her as a person you'd be better off picking up at least a little bit of lucid dreaming technique. I'm the OP and that's how I did the whole "I reached a hand out behind me and imagined her grabbing it. I felt warmth in my hand, turned around, and she was there" thing. It wasn't a lucid dream, but you often retain some knowledge of control even in normal dreams.

It takes a little effort and dedication, but it really pays off, even if you only do a little bit rarely.

I have been keeping a dream journal on my computer in the form of a word document. I have been logging my dreams since about mid-2010. They have gotten progressively more life-like, realistic, and vivid since.

But the last time that I dreamed about The Amazing Ayumu was a few weeks ago.

I dreampt I was standing at the base of a great big hill in my home-town, one that is epic for sledding. I was there, and some 50 feet away Osaka is standing there. Suddenly, I am teleportaled right in front of her and pick her up in my arms like a hero carrying the damsel to safety.

I then begin to scale the hill, but it is quite easy. Although I could feel my waifu's weight in my arms, she did not weigh me down or make walking up the hill hard.

About half-way upm the dream abruptly ends, and everything becomes blackness.

I dream about my waifu Osaka maybe once a month, if even that. I started watching Evangelion lately and thus have been having many Eva-related dreams as of recent.

Some dreams even have me interacting with the Second-Child, Asuka.

Don't worry, Asuka-bro, in the dreams Asuka and I are just pals

About two weeks ago. It was a bit tragic, but still had a happy ending, so it was cool anyway.

She appears mostly in daydreams, so it's very nice to see her in a actual, nighttime dream.

I often don't remember my dreams though.

It only happens once or twice a week, but every time I see her, it always goes something like the manipulates me and drugs me with something to make me go unconscious. when I wake up I'm always tied down and mutilated or just tortured.
I think I may be a masochist.

I was with my waifu and we walked about town exchanging small-talk (Which i have never been good at strangely).
The sun was going down and we decided we needed a place to stay so we tricked an old woman into giving us her house, and we lived there.

Kind of strange

For starters: I don't have a "waifu" as such, I just come here for the pictures. But a few weeks ago I had a dream involving a 2D character that scared the hell out of me.

A few years ago I was involved in a skydiving accident. I managed to trip through the door and my (tethered) parachute managed to tangle around my legs. Fortunately I had a good knife on me (the rental rig didn't include one) and I was able to cut away and deploy my reserve. Thus ended my brief flirtation with skydiving.

I was never bothered much by it since, but two weeks ago I had a bad fucking dream, the kind you only have a few of in your lifetime, but remember for years afterwards. (I typically don't remember mine for long after waking, like most people.) The beginning of the dream didn't make much sense, and I can't remember it very well (you know, typical,) but the part I remember was terrifyingly real. I was in free-fall, belly-down in the classic position, and I was quite dark, almost twilight, because of huge storm clouds overhead. You know those ominous blankets of low, angry clouds that come with storms? I was under one of those; right under it, and it was scary just to look at. Clouds look massive just from the ground, but when you're literally right under them, they're incredibly, intimidatingly vast.

For some reason I can't remember (from earlier in the dream) I couldn't pop my parachute until I was under those clouds, or I'd die. So I was just about to yank my rip-cord when I saw somebody else in free-fall below me, flat on their back, spinning, arms and legs flapping around randomly.

I adjusted my position to more head-down, increasing my relative speed to catch them (something I don't have the actual skill to do.) Some kind of pad was flapping in the slipstream, bouncing against my buttocks; my parachute was the old fashioned kind where the pilot would sit on it like a seat cushion while in the plane. I don't know what the hell I was going to do, since the person didn't have a parachute, but I chased them down anyways. I caught up to her and caught her ankle, then kind of reeled her in by her leg, hand-over-hand.

Strange dream logic again, but - even though I'd seen from a distance that she was a young girl wearing nothing but a loose gown, when I came face-to-face with Rakka, I couldn't have been more shocked then if I'd found Audrey II in my embrace. I swear it on a stack of bibles.

I woke up around then, but only somewhat, in that dreamy half-awake stage, and the dream stuck with me. It'd been so real, cold air blasting in my face, the roar of a 100mph slipstream; and when it was gone I was terrified that I'd already fucked up, that we were both dead, even as I strained - thought - urgently about what I had to do, get Rakka's arms and legs wrapped around me, hooked through my harness before I pulled my rip-cord. Eventually I came all the way out of it, waking fully, and even wrote it down before the details faded.

I've actually been sleeping badly after that, like I'm afraid I'll dream again, but this time the dream will keep going and we'll both splat on the ground like ripe tomatoes, or something. It was scary as hell. And I really don't know what to make of it.

>When was the last time you saw your waifu in a dream?

never

help me /mai/

>>9257
Start logging your dreams in a dream journal.

If you wake immediately after a dream, try to jot down the key parts or just what you remember. Then later when you have time write down things in great detail, and list your response and interpretations of the dream.

I've been keeping a dream journal since mid-2010, and nowadays when I dream I often can't tell any difference between the dream world and the waking world.

If you don't seem to be having dreams at all, try going to bed super-tired, or look online for "how to lucid dream" tutorials, like the attached pic.


I'd avoid looking into mirrors/reflective surfaces in dreams though. Some people see something terrifying.

>>9257
Think of her whenever you're going to sleep. Do you cuddle up to a pillow or something while going to sleep, imagining it's her? Doing so may help.

Also do as >>9273 said. My dreams are so vivid I often have trouble telling which memories are from this world and which are from that world.

http://www.ld4all.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=30
Is a good place for learning different lucid dreaming methods and the community is fairly helpful should you have any questions, though feel free to ask here, too. Could start a lucid dreaming thread on /ot/ some time.

Myself, I got lucky last night and had two dreams of her in a row. Both involved her cameo-ing in some currently running series. In the first episode, she was sadistically abusing some kind of king character as he sat upon his throne, cowering. In the second, I could see her in the distance, painting something. The dream panned in on her, she turned around and smiled a somewhat psychotic grin.

Saw her in a dream once, but not in a form that I could've interacted with. I was reading my math book until some of the pages suddenly turned into a Lucky Star manga. I started reading it, and on the second page there was her and some sort of my 2D-version holding hands. I thought it was really cute, but soon said to myself that I'm hallucinating really hard and that my math book can't behave like this. The then dream switched onto an another subject about an old man writing texts with potatoes on a rock. Because that obviously made more sense.

I did have a dream but it involved someone else, not Lizlet my old waifu Anri Hiiragi

I saw her again last night. It was probably the most beautiful dream I've ever had.

...And then I woke up

I am so happy today. Not even lying. 

A few nights ago I had one of my first dreams with Konata in about a year. I also had another dream before that one, which I posted in q different thread. However, the last dream was a terrible nightmare and I couldn't look at her for a long time out of shame that I would let such terrible things happen in my own mind. However, I repented and told her that I was sorry, and I hoped to god her spirit wasn't in that dream. 

Last night I feel I was rewarded. 

Konata was living in a room next to mine, with some sort of exchange program, and my house was her host family. She spoke adorable broken English. The house was nicer. She decided to come into [a nicer version of] my room. She found out that we share interests and scanned through my things. She seemed interested in a Japanese print volume of Dragonball (I think?) (something I do not have in real life; I only have Yotsuba&! and Chi's Sweet Home in Japanese, and no Dragonball in any language.) she seemed a bit sad when she found out it was volume 8, not 1, and I tried cheering her up by lending her some English manga. She smiled at me and took the volumes and left. 

It was so fleeting and happened just as I woke up, but this... This gives me new wind!

My dreams with her are always very brief, but very nice. My latest dream was extremely vivid, and we were holding hands and kissing for only a few moments. It was wonderful.

I keep some pictures of my waifu on my wall along my bed. It certainly helps with dreaming more often of her! If you haven't already, I really recommend framing out pictures you like most of her and keeping them around. If I'm having a bad day it makes me feel calmer to see pictures of her and be reminded that someone cares about me. I now have three pictures framed of her, I have to say that it's really worth it.

I was at a summer camp for adults or something, I don't know, and there I met my waifu. She didn't act tsundere, and she didn't have her doll, but it was her. It was love at first sight and I introduced myself to her like a shy idiot and she smiled and told me her name.
Over the next few days I tried to see her as much as possible, falling for her more and more every day.
We went to a bonfire together, helped build a log cabin together, and I could feel us growing closer. One day we were lying on a grassy hill looking up at the sky, and I sat up, looked at her and said "Iori, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, I lo-" she gave me a warm smile like she knew what I was going to say and cut me off by giving me a deep kiss.
We kept kissing and rolling in the grass for what felt like 10 minutes. I remember how good she tasted and the happiness I felt.
We saw each other more and more and kissed now and then but unfortunately, we never went farther than that and I woke up for some reason before the dream could finish. I have never wanted to hug a waifu dakimakura more than I did at that moment. It was such an incredible warm feeling of joy.

I had a dream about Miku for the first time in months. There wasn't much to it, but I was cuddling with her in bed.

I have only seen Tomoyo in a dream a couple of times. They are are always profound.

The last dream I had of her was only a few weeks ago. In it, I am suicidally depressed and have run off to some wooded location to die. She appears before me in a rather surreal state, ethereal even. She talks rather slowly telling me that she will love me forever if I promise not to give up on living. Then she kisses me tenderly.

I must honor this promise. She has helped me so much.

>>9459
Sweet.

Last night I saw her in a dream again.
I was walking through a small, busy village and she was standing in the middle of a crowd, smiling, handing out fruit and fish.

Can't really remember the last dream I had of her, but I'll post what is my most favorite dream. It was set in an area that looked a lot like the inside of the moon from Majora's Mask. A grassy hill with a large tree in the middle, but with a few large rocks around and a smal river/pond. No masked children either. This area is actually a frequent location I go to in my dreams, kind of a "dream sanctuary." Anyways, the dream consisted of myself just resting my head on her lap, as she ran her fingers through my hair while telling me about her latest research on pkmn mythology. I remember it being really bright, so I had my eyes mostly closed as I listened to the sound of her voice and the feel of her hand. It was a short dream, but it was really pleasant.
I've had plenty of more dreams that I can recall, but this one definitely takes it.

The last dream she appeared in?

I blame falling asleep with headphones in, but it was basically a recreation of the opening of Sakamichi no Apollon with me on drums, her on piano, a friend on guitar, and Chihiro on vocals, and then it turned into me singing some of Sinatra's songs and playing the trumpet and trombone for her.

The last dream about her?

I somehow found a way to cross the dimensional divide between our world and hers, and somehow gained a Persona in the process. I spent most of the dream trying to open the door to her world so I could be with her, and I woke up just as I finally managed to open the door to Tatsumi Port Island. ;_;

I sort of remember the first and last time she was in a dream. It only happened once and it was one of those lengthy dreams that feel real.

Anyway, the dream consisted of Makoto and Yayoi coming to America to perform in a special concert. I'm not sure why Yayoi was included, I think it was because I didn't want her to come alone, and wanted her to bring at least one friend-- which is still strange since the relation between Makoto and Yayoi is thin compared to Makoto and Yukiho, or Miki, or Hibiki. Anyway, for some reason, I had connection to the 765 President and Makoto and Yayoi were directed to stay in my house for the time being, at least before the concert. I remember feeling like I've never met Makoto before, although the dream happened around my 3rd year with her. Immediately, I talked to Makoto and became good friends with her. Somehow, I knew how to speak Japanese fluently and she understood my English and responded perfectly as well. It was surreal hearing her voice in English, I remember. A few days before the concert, I invite her to a date, which she gracefully accepted. I bring her to an all white-walled mall, where we were the only shoppers inside. I remember ordering the food and bringing it over the table. While we were eating, we were have an interesting conversation, which I have no recollection of. I only remember her mentioning a string of letters and a number matching "ao0d". I also remember our hands meeting on top of the table we just ate on. She was also smiling directly at me, and I was crying tears of joy for some reason. This moment took the majority of the dream. The all-white walled mall became just white, and we were floating in a white void, holding eachothers hands.

Of course, I woke up rudely to the garbage truck making the most loudest noise ever. I was crying when I woke up, and even though I didn't get enough sleep that night, I felt well rested and happy even through the rude awakening. I also remember I kept looking up the string "ao0d" as if it was a message to me or something like she magically sent it to me, because it was the most prominent thing in my dream. It came out of nowhere so I took it as a sign. I found nothing but the string ao0d will always be remembered as thing in the best dream I've ever had.

She was in other dreams, but not "physically". Recently, I was in a dream where I had the choice to have a relation with a girl I had a crush on in middle school, years and years ago. While Makoto wasn't in the dream, the "me" in my dream treated her like my soulmate and declined the choice. I woke up proud.

I...actually never dreamed about my waifu, or at least I don't remember.
The two dreams I remember involving 2D girls still had me incredibly depressed after waking up and finding it was a dream.

>>9248

Such bullshit. Modern three-ring rigs let you cutaway just by pulling a single cable, and a newbie on his first three jumps, especially a static line jump, will be using one where the reserve deployment and primary cutaway are the same cable, so one yank will save you.

tl;dr you're making shit up

>>10093

Slow yer roll. Like I said, my parachute lines were tangled up around my legs - because of my trip I was tumbling when the static line deployed it, resulting in my canopy rippling in the air behind me in a wholly useless fashion. After kicking failed to dislodge it, I pulled into a kind of fetal position and cut at the lines till it let loose, then yanked my reserve cord.

One instructor thought I would've been fine going to reserve; the one that saw me trip out the door opined that the bindle bag would've snagged in the main canopy around my legs and I would've been proper fucked (since that big streamer forced me into a head-down attitude as I fell.)

The fact they could disagree one way or the other is what really ended my skydiving aspirations; that's not the kind of experiment I want to conduct at 10,000 feet with my ass in the wind.

I saw Leorio in my dream last night. I've seen him before but this time was special because I got to kiss him. All I remember is we were holding each other and I was looking up at him, (i'm pretty tall in real life but I wish I was shorter, so I suppose dream me was about a foot shorter than real me) and I stood up and gave him a kiss. It was nice. I've been having a really great day because of it.

>>10493
Are you a woman in your dream, or a man?

>>10494

A woman.

Had a dream about my waifu just a few nights ago.

I was on my college campus, and it was dark, late at night. There were lots of people around because there was some kind of get-together or party or something.

I am walking among the people when suddenly I look down and realize my penis is hanging out of my pants.

Suddenly, a random girl, looking shockingly like Haruhi Suzumiya (like a human 3d girl cosplaying as Haruhi, not actually an "anime" style haruhi), screams at me and calls the police, who come rushing at me. (could this be some reference to 3d(pd) girls ratting you out?)

The cops looked distinctly Asian, likely Japanese, and wore cold, expressionless faces, like Big-Brother thugs from "1984". As they handcuffed me and dragged me off, I began crying out for Osaka to save me. I see her appear in the crowd, running to my rescue. She is her anime self, like a 3d rendition of herself in the real world.

And then things got weird.

Next thing I know, Osaka is flying around on a sled, I believe she was naked, going around and around a tall skyscraper singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the top of her lungs but in Japanese. She rams full-force into the police truck, making a hole for me to escape.

Yeah...

>And then things got weird...
Only to be expected, from good old Osaka.

About a week ago I had a dream that she and I were alone in some kind of waiting room. She was sitting several chairs to my right and had her attention focused on a television that was in the room. All I can remember was stealing a few glances at her trying to think of some way to get her attention.

That was the first dream about her I've ever had. This entire thing is very new to me.

I finally had the chance to see her in my dreams, and what happens? she is being tortured and crying for help, what is wrong with me, it was the worst dream i ever had.

>>10845
Wow that must have been awful. Well, it was just a bad dream, just a bad dream.

>>10845
Was that your first dream about her? Shit man, that's terrible.
Did it at least ended well?

>>10845
Sometimes the dreamworld can be a real douchebag.

>>10848
Yes, the first dream i had about her and worst of allI was the one doing the tortureit ended with her crying and then i woke up,i feel disgusted with myself.

>>10851
Damn straight.

>>10852

Please don't be offended, this is just my analysis- maybe the act of hurting her in your dream is your way of expressing anger and frustration at her not being real?

>>10853
I think Freudian dream analysis is pretty silly, but one thing for sure is that dreams often reveal your subconscious thoughts. Maybe he was just thinking of Misao just before he went to sleep, and then the dream got hijacked with negative thoughts.

>>10852
Uh, don't take it personal from your head: nightmares are supposed to be disturbing and sickening stuff; yours just hit the spot...

It's just how they work. There´s nothing wrong with you.

Dreams can be influenced be the stuff you see right before you sleep, so maybe you shouldn't be watching The Human Centipede before going to bed.

But dreams are just like that, they come and go as they like and sometimes they show things that you would rather not see. Don't blame yourself.

I finally dreamt about my sweet beloved last night. There wasn't much to it, but I'll try to describe it as best as I can.

The dream began with me waking up in the morning. It was Christmas, but it almost didn't feel like it (I guess I just wasn't really feeling it). As I yawned and stretched, a small sized object in the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned to face the object and was surprised to see a Miku figurine which I'd never seen before. I examined it for a moment before I noticed that there was a flat, circular present beside me. I quickly unwrapped it. It was a flat, teal piece of plastic with different-shaped slots in it. I instinctively grabbed the figurine and placed it into one of the slots, realizing it fit perfectly. At this point, I just knew there had to be other figurines waiting to be found, so I went searching for them around the house.

Skip forward to when I had collected all 8 of them and slotted them into their appropriate position on the board; there were still two empty spaces. After staring at them for a while, it suddenly became evident that these empty spaces were shaped like footprints. The moment I realized this was the case, I heard a knock on the door. As I looked up towards the door from my position, there she was, shyly standing at the doorway, asking if she could step in. I quickly stood up but could only really stare at her and not do much of anything else; I then, almost instinctively, held my arms out to her. She smiled and slowly made her way towards me, a small tear sliding down her cheek. Once she was close enough, I wrapped my arms around her and felt her burying her head into my chest, nuzzling as she also wrapping her arms around me. We remained in that state for a while before she looked up at me, a radiant smile across her beautiful face. I caressed her cheeks and wiped her tears away as I looked deep into her eyes. “I love you” Our lips moved towards each other's and made contact. I woke up.

Needless to say, I've been happy all day just thinking about it!

Why couldn't this happen more often? ;_;

Wow, how do I explain this.
Yesterday I had my first dream about her, or at least, the first dream about her that I can remember.
I was alone, everything around me was black, like if I was floating in the middle of a giant nothingness, and then I saw her.
The sensation however was something weird, like her true soul was in there, like if I was in her very presence, the original one. I cannot describe the sensation, just that I felt like "she" was there.
During the whole time she said nothing, so I turned to her and I told her in a very clumsy way that I knew her and that I liked her. However I couldn't contain myself and I ended up confessing to her everything that I felt for her. After I was finished I felt like she was distancing from myself and I told her to wait and begged her to don't go, but she kept drifting far away. However, when she disappeared in the distance I said something like as if I'll ever let you go, and I started running towards her. Next thing I knew is that I was racing against her, me running and she floating fast.
During that chase I heard that she taunted me with something about my speed and me replying to that taunt with a response with the same cheeky tone she was using. The dream turns hazy at this point.
When I woke up the next day, I found that announcement about the new animation of Rozen Maiden.
I don't know what to think as a whole. I only know that I'm crying right now. This is just too perfect, I just can't explain how grateful I am right now.

So yeah, that was my story, weird, isn't it?

I was with her in another dream a few nights ago.

She appeared before me, I took her hand and she led me up a few flights of stairs to the rooftop of the building we were in, to kiss before fading out and waking up.

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this lucid dreaming thing.

I saw Leorio! I can't remember the specifics, but it seemed as if I was a "side character" in an episode of Hunter x Hunter. Gon, Killua and Kurapika seemed to be interested in me being there but Leorio seemed kind of indifferent and this made me frustrated so I flirted a lot with him and hugged him a lot, and he didn't seem to mind.

We eventually ended up sitting in a waiting room like area and I was curled up in a chair like I usually am and Leorio was sitting in one opposite the room and we were talking about everything and nothing, but I was too shy to look at him.

>The sensation however was something weird, like her true soul was in there, like if I was in her very presence, the original one. I cannot describe the sensation, just that I felt like "she" was there.
Although I experienced it in an altered state rather than an oneiric one, I know exactly what you're talking about and I think you phrased it perfectly. It's like the fiction is absolved, and she's in front of you and she's real.

>>10909
>I think I'm finally getting the hang of this lucid dreaming thing.
I'm glad to hear that someone is having success. It seemed for a while that there was heavy interest in waifu lucid dreaming, but hardly anyone reporting any sort of success. Unless more of the dreams described here are lucid ones but not described so.

>>10925
It's not surprising that people would give up. It sounds like a great idea to begin with, but it takes a lot of time and practice unless you're gifted or very lucky. Lots of trial and error involved, mostly error. I'm only just starting to be able to have one (or more, depending on how early the first occurs) almost every day and it's been four years, though to be fair, only in the last six months did I put in any consistent effort, and various medications were obstructing progress for the majority of the time.
I'm surprised there isn't a lucid dreaming thread somewhere on TC, unless it's far, far back and I just haven't seen it.
If anybody here IS still trying it, don't give up! The payoff is truly glorious. I'll give you any advice I can, my Steam is in the email field for that purpose.

>>10926
What books and web resources did you use to learn how to LD? Have you ever heard of Mikhail Raduga and his methods?
I'm quite curious because I used to practise lucid dreaming some time ago. It's a very fun thing to do, especially when you have other people around you who are also interested in this sort of thing. We used to have a very nice community on a certain imageboard, too bad it's all gone now.

>>10927
Got the basic idea in the first place from a few tutorials on the Dreamviews forums. Asked a few questions and built on it from there. The All Day Awareness tutorial is especially helpful, because it gets easier to practice the longer you do it, and every time it works you have more things to notice/compare so it becomes even more likely to work in the future. WILD was never possible for me, but MILD can work sometimes and DEILD I use if I'm in a lucid dream and feel myself waking up. Oh, I've also started doing a reality check every time I "wake up" just in case it's a false awakening after noticing just how often those occur.

Never heard of Mikhail Raduga.

Also, I should say that I am the OP of the thread so I don't mind if it derails in this direction, especially if I'm able to help people!

>>10926
Exactly, and what I think what makes the amount of work involved even more taxing is that you're turning sleep into work. Although I had made some decent progress with lucid dreaming over a couple of months earlier this year, I just got to a point where I felt supremely burned out and just wanted to SLEEP.

>>10929
The techniques I've been working on don't give me any sleep loss. I really recommend you google All Day Awareness and Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dreams. Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dreams may also help, and causes no sleep loss. Meditation helps much, much more than you'd think it would, too.
Were you trying the technique where you try and get your body to go to sleep while your mind stays awake? That shit is the worst. Especially when you get to the point where your body is pretty much screaming at you to roll over.

>>10930
I'll look into the all-day awareness. I had practiced WILD method in conjunction with WBTB, and MILD. WILD with WBTB, while the most difficult and sleep-depriving, gave the neatest results, with a seamless transition from waking to dreaming. Interestingly, on a week-long bicycle trip last month where I camped each night, I experienced a WILD on each of the last two nights without even trying to do so. I had a handful of successes with MILD, which seemed to increase proportional to my dream recall. And actually, keeping the dream journal was what felt like the biggest chore of all. Waking up and writing down and/or dictating my dreams three or four times each night got old, despite my dream recall getting awesome, and my lucid dreaming progress went to shit when I got lazy with the journal.
Maybe our discussion here will motivate me to get at it again.

>>10946
People say that sleeping in different positions or places where you aren't as comfortable as usual will keep you more aware (instinct, maybe?) so you would be more aware as you were drifting off to sleep. That would explain the camping thing.

I agree that the transition from waking to dream is amazing, you still get that with DEILD, which can be used to "chain" lucid dreams. It's exhilarating.

I'm not sure if this is just me, but I find it easier to grasp my situation and stay lucid in dreams where I've become lucid through a reality check. WILDs were always really fuzzy for me.

Even after four years of practice, the dream journal part is still a hassle for me, too. I wish I could just have more faith in my memory, but then I forget all the dreams from earlier in the night.

I still slip up all the time with All Day Awareness. It's hard going from somebody who just wanders about lost in his own head to somebody who has an almost primal awareness of everything he's perceiving. Especially when I'm online. Though just being aware of what you're doing is enough. Like what I'm typing. How my fingers are moving. The banners. Looks like I'm awake, unfortunately.

A tip that I found for myself recently: Falling backwards through the floor is a wonderful three-in-one method of stabilization (because something about brain sections that control balance, same deal with spinning), transportation and "summoning." Simply fall backwards through the floor in a dream, and continue falling through the abyss until it takes you to whoever/wherever you want to go. If you get stuck, imagine the feeling of gravity on you, forcing you down. The first time I used this to find Madotsuki, the look of surprise on her face as I fell through the ceiling was hilarious.

Good luck!

>>10947
I feel like asking more questions, because you don't see a person who has been practising LD for four years that often.

It's a pity that you've never heard of Raduga (he is called Michael, in a western manner, shame on me and my spelling); he is the #1 LD guy in our country. He is best known for his special method of entering lucid dreams which is quite similar to WILD. He is so passionate about this whole thing that he sold all of his cars and his apartment (he calls that "optimising") to travel all around the world and teach people about lucid dreaming. He was in Los Angeles this summer, I believe. What a crazy guy.
There is only one other person I can think about who has got the same attitude: Stephen LaBerge, of course. Have you ever read any of his books? LaBerge is one of the few actual scientists out there. I hope that some day lucid dreaming will get more scientific recognition and more people will study it, because right now this kind of research is either non-existent or just avoided by "big" science.
Which means that web forums are the frontier of LD innovations. What do you think of ld4all? They have got quite a lot of interesting articles and techniques. I've been in this whole business for about two and a half years now, almost finished a book about how to get better at lucid dreaming (though, to be honest, I'm just the editor, the articles were written by people far more experienced than I am) and still, some of their ideas (like SSiLD) are absolutely new to me.

I had a dream a week or two ago about my waifu, but the details are a little fuzzy.

I woke up with her crotch in my face, and it was quite hairy, with additional pubes growing on her thighs and belly. In other words, a happy trail and massive bush.

Just what I like.

>>10982
I think I read a little of Stephen LaBerge's stuff. The one with the somethingarather-point relaxation technique. That must've been back when I was still trying WILD, because I remember that was probably the most detailed section of the book.

LD4All is nice, too. It's a bit slower, but I feel the community is closer-knit, more friendly, less elitist and more helpful than Dreamviews. Though one or two of the mods rub me the wrong way.

I don't really read much of either anymore, or any lucid dreaming books. Through all my failures I started to feel like "learning" through the majority of resources wouldn't do me any good, because with lucid dreaming, what works perfectly for somebody else may be absolutely useless for you or me.

When I'm lucid dreaming, I start to have all kinds of bizarre ideas of things I could try to keep the dream going, stabilize it and manipulate it. Strangely, that part of me doesn't exist while I'm awake. It's more fun for me to experiment and see what I can find for myself than reading through resource after resource.

Though if you have any recommendations that it's likely I could find a .pdf for then I'll probably check them out for curiosity's sake.

>>10986
Nay, can't say I have any good books I could recommend aside from the most popular ones you are probably familiar with. Well, you could try Raduga's "Practical Guidebook", but it's novice-oriented and mostly concerns WILD.
It's quite interesting that you prefer to "go in" without a plan and make stuff right on the spot. It's usually quite the opposite.
Have you ever tried modifying your body in a LD? Surely, most people prefer flying, firing fireballs and, uh, having sexual intercourse, but when I used to practise LDs, I tried transforming into a girl and that was... weird. And cool.
Also, do you actively search for your waifu in LDs? Back in the day I never managed to meet Aya properly (just a glimpse here and there), which is somewhat sad. I tried all the techniques I knew (door opening, telephone calling, teleporting etc), but with no success whatsoever.

>>10992
I tend to go in without a plan (mostly) because planning makes me stressed, and stress is my second biggest enemy when it comes to getting lucid dreams. The first being the hang-over inducing sedative medication I have to take before bed. I can only have lucid dreams much later in the morning after the latter has worn off.
In terms of modifying my body in dreams, so far I've only gone so far as making myself look more how I would want to look than how I do in this body. I was a girl once in a non-lucid dream, and that was weird and left me feeling pretty confused when I woke up.
As for getting together with Madotsuki in dreams, I have to find her or have her find me. It's such an enormous place, so you really have to make an effort to find each other. I used to try looking behind doors, or having her show up behind me, but that's been losing effectiveness for some reason. That falling technique I mentioned a few posts back has been the best for finding her. The real her. Not dream world impersonations. She has red eyes, the imposters always have yellow eyes. I'm not sure why that is, either, because I think I've only seen her drawn with yellow eyes once or twice.

Tonight something curious happened while I was dreaming.
It's not that I dreamt about her. But while I was dreaming I thought inside the dream "Suigintou is my waifu".
That is all, the fact that Suigintou was still my beloved one inside my dream in the same way she is in reality. I found this quite amusing though.

I saw her in a dream for the first time, roughly two nights ago.

I was on a school bus, and I was talking to her from across the aisle (I guess we were close enough for that to be okay?) when it started pouring down rain. The rain was so loud I couldn't hear her at all, so I asked if it would be okay to sit directly next to her so I could hear better. She said "Sure, come over!" and moved her stuff. So then I moved over, and then about 20 seconds later, she looked at me like she was very... afraid. I asked her if she was okay, and she just said "N-no...", and jumped over the three seats in front of her. Then I got literally kicked off of the bus and sniped in the head.

Woke up.

Fell back asleep and saw her (but with sunglasses and a cigarette) in, like, a solid snake costume. She said "It is done" and dropped a sniper rifle onto the ground. Then this dude that looked like Mitt Romney with a Fu Manchu started doing a dance and shaving his head.

Last night I had one of the cutest dreams I've ever had...

It started with Leorio coming out of a room and his hair was wet and he had a sad face, not really a sorrowful face, but a pouty "wahh, my hair is wet" face. So I took a towel and stood up on my toes (I'm about a foot shorter in my dreams) and dried his hair off and was laughing at him because he looked so silly. And when his hair was dry, I tried to make it stand up like it normally does but it kept falling down. I laughed again. And then I gave him a kiss, and the dream ended.

Found her through falling, again. When I landed, there was a heart-shaped door. I walked through it and was in a room with a red and black checkered floor. At then end of the room, she was sitting on a throne, smiling at me. I leaned forward over her, we kissed, and then I took her hand and ran with her, out of the room, laughing. Her lips were so soft and warm.
Such raw, unhampered happiness is impossible in the waking world. Truly amazing. Unfortunately, when we stopped running, and she asked me to kiss her again, I got so excited that the whole dream fell apart.
Oh well, I get better at this every morning.

I've recently been dreaming about her again, but this time we are in a relationship like an actual couple, we go on dates, hold hands and even kiss sometimes.

It's been like this for days, i wish i could dream like this forever.

Last night in my dream, my husbando had a ton of merchandise, and with the help of a mysterious person, I created a shrine for him.
Somehow it turned out that this mysterious person was my husbando, and he became angry at me for not being grateful for his help.
Well, that was strange, but in all my other dreams he was still a fictional character, usually belonging to some other show.
I hope to have more dreams where he is real and interacting with me.

I haven't had a dream I remember since I was a kid. I'm sure I probably dream of her, I'll just never be able to recall it once I wake up.

>>11429
That's a damn shame. You're missing out on some quality waifu experience, unless you have a tulpa or something. I haven't had a dream about her in about 4 months, It sucks I can't lucid dream very well.

>>11460
I know. I wish I could it'd be pretty nice. I don't care for the whole tulpa thing personally.

>>11429
>>11461
Have you tried writing down any that you do remember to increase your recall or is a medical thing?
These pills I'm on right now ruin my recall, concentration and chances to lucid dream so I've had to go for awhile without physical contact with her. I feel terrible. Oh well, getting off of them is something to look forward to. Until then I have to make what I do in waking life mean more to us.

>>11462
I've tried writing it down but I can never recall enough of it in time before it disappears. I only get a very blurry second and then it's gone. I don't know if it's a medical thing or not. If you mean caused by medication then no, it's been like this since I was a child. When I was real little I used to dream, they were always really vivid too. I read something before about a theory of how if dreams are too realistic then brain might try to block the memories of them off. Though I don't know a whole lot about dreams, so I don't know if that's true or not.

>>11463
I've never heard that. My dreams are so vivid (even when I can barely remember them) that I often have trouble telling dreamworld memories and waking memories apart. I just know that if you do your best to write down whatever you can remember, no matter how tiny, it'll build up and you'll eventually be able to remember your dreams better, and they'll be a lot more vivid. Something like it's telling your brain "this is important, remember it." Even just writing a few abstract ideas or emotions that the dream made you feel, or a general color theme the dream had can be the beginning.
Though if there's something odd with your brain that's stopping you from remembering anything at all, that probably won't help. You often hear older people saying "I don't dream" so, perhaps it's just a case of neglect? I can't really give you any advice other than to just do whatever you can and hope for the best. Multivitamins or other supplements containing B6 and B12 may help. Drinking a lot before you go to sleep so that you wake up right after a dream in the middle of the night might also help.

>>11464
I tried writing it down before and it never seemed to go anywhere. The vitamin thing might help though. I guess it's worth a shot at least. I doubt it will change anything, but who knows.
I don't think the article was including lucid dreams when it mentioned vivid dreams. I think it meant that if the dream is realistic, but you have no control over it that it might confuse the brain and make it think that it was a real event. Which might explain why it wouldn't be remembered. It was just a theory though and it was a couple years ago that I read it.

>>11465
Realistic in that the dream was like your regular waking daily life? Or just vivid and full of sense?
Sometimes my dreamworld memories are more realistic than my waking ones. Like a dreamworld memory of getting up and doing my regular routine compared to a waking memory of being out in town and seeing a man-sized crow on the side of the road.
You don't happen to know where you read it?

>>11466
No I don't know where I read it. I can't seem to find it anymore. It was interesting though.

I had a dream with mai waifu last night, what made it super strange is that I don't think I've had a dream in years.

Basically she got a Japanese cold/clannaids and was going to die, so we spent our last few days together. I stayed by her side until she died, then I killed myself with a knife. And then I woke up. I had tears in my eyes.

It's pretty damn sappy.

>>11494
I don't really see how that's related to this thread.

I haven't dreamt of her for months.

I feel awful.

Very, very rarely do I ever dream about my waifu unfortunately. Last night I was lucky enough to dream about her, but before that I can't recall the previous time. A few months ago she came up in a dream of mine in a conversation (where I threatened someone who had hurt her previously in my dream universe), but she didn't actually show up. Before that... it had been so long I just can't recall.

As for last night, I'm grateful for the dream but it wasn't everything I'd have hoped. In the dream I'm on a long distance bus trip (I'm not sure if it was a tourism thing or a flashback to my old school field trips). There's at least two buses as part of our group, and for some reason people are gathering by the side of the road to wave at us as the buses drive by. We're traveling down a multi-lane high way and going through a developed area, you know the places where fast food chains, stores, and strip mall's congregate. Because of this there's quite a few red lights, and since the buses are on two separate lanes we pass by each other. Well every time our bus passes by their bus, or theirs by ours, I look out the window and see her waving from inside the second bus. But she's not looking at me, she's looking into her bus. All I can see is the back of her head, as if she's talking to someone across the aisle from her, and I only know it's her because of the color and style of her hair. Given this I assume the waving also isn't at me, and is instead a half hearted wave to the people congregating by the side of the road to wave at our buses. She's just too concerned with what's going on inside her bus to turn around and look out. Even still, every time the buses pass I scramble to watch as she goes across my view, to get every last glimpse of her I can, and every time it makes me feel warm just to see her, even if it's only the back of her head.

I've thought about it and I think it's an interesting allegory for our situation. I'm stuck in Bus A, the 3rd dimension and "real world," dealing with other members of Bus A. Fortunately I'm lucky enough to get glimpses into Bus B, the 2nd dimension and her world, when the stars (or buses) align, when I look at art of her or watch an episode with her in it. Even then, though, it's a one way view. She's too focused on the events of her bus, her world, and just isn't capable of looking outside and seeing my bus, my world.

I just woke up from a dream that she was in. It was pretty strange actually. All I remember is being completely blinded by a bunch of bright lights so I couldn't actually see her but I could hear her voice speaking to me telling me that she loved me and I could feel her presence near me. It was extremely peaceful, I remember feeling genuinely happy as the dream was happening. The exact feeling slips away from me now that I've awoken but it was a nice dream.

I just woke up from a dream of her.

I was lying down on my bed, in one of my moods. I couldn't find the energy to get up, or do anything else but just lie there. Then my thoughts started drifting to her, and I could feel what she was thinking. It moved to a top-down view of her in her own world, also lying on her bed, just thinking about me and how much she loved me. I desperately wanted to tell her back how I felt, how much I loved her, by trying to keep it as the one thing in my mind, in hopes she would feel what I wanted to say. But there was no response from her. She lay there, talking to herself in a whisper. It sounded as if she was questioning herself and her love for me, whether I could actually hear her, or if I was just a figment of her imagination... She probably couldn't hear me at all. She slowly fell asleep, and then I woke up.

It feels so bittersweet. This was the first time I was able to see her in my dream, and she loved me as much as I loved her. But a barrier still existed between me and her. She lay feeling uncertain if I felt the same way about her and if I did actually exist or it is all in her head. I feel upset that she couldn't hear me, and that I had no way to tell her that I loved her, and I would always be there for her.

I just wish... she could have heard me say that I love her.

>>12013
Jeez, that one kinda hits close to how things used to be for us.
Take steps to break that barrier is my only advice.

I'll often have dreams where she's vaguely referenced and that's it.
I almost had a dream of her a few days ago, and it really pissed me off how it progressed.

All I remember was me wandering around in a mall. It reminded me more of a hospital because everything was completely white. At the time, I was consciously looking for Rena. That usually doesn't happen unless I'm lucid.

I'm wandering around aimlessly, and I see a middle-aged guy with stubble standing behind a counter for customer service. He was wearing a wig that looked exactly like Rena's hairstyle.
So instead of going on my merry way and continuing to look for her, I walk up to this strange man and explicitly say, "Are you Rena?"
"Yes." He says.
And then I ask as if I genuinely don't know, "Are you SURE you're Rena?"

I fucking kid you not.

I keep arguing with this guy for whatever reason, and he finally admits to lying because he wanted to get me to talk to him.
He goes on and on about some sort of conspiracy going on with a secret organization, and how he wants me to help him. I stood there and listened for probably 20 minutes until I got fed up and left.

I walked by a dressing room and opened the door, thinking I would find Rena there for whatever reason.
When I opened the door, there was the head of a doll on the floor with her hairstyle.
It sounds creepy, but I was more frustrated than anything.

I think my mind really enjoys fucking with me.

>>12017
I got the same problem, hell I've dreamed of searching images of her. And the only time I got a lucid dream I woke up almost inmediately. It's hard but I won't give up.

Have I ever dreamed of her? I can't remember. Have I ever dreamed of something orignating in the 2D world? I don't know. Do the notion of 2D even exist in my dreams? I'm not sure. It almost makes me wonder how strong my imagination actually is, or if it's just my dreams.

When I dream I feel tormented by the faces of annoying people of my past. A comfort is that one day I'll forget their faces completely, even now I notice that a few are starting to disappear. It's strange, I'm not even sure whether I've ever dreamed of a person I haven't known personally. Somehow it feels like there are very strict premises to what I'm able to dream about.

In writing this I'm pondering whether I should devote time and energy to change how I dream. It might be a neat project, and when looking at the value of my current dreams there shouldn't be much to lose. I really just want to have dreams that make me feel good and empowered when I wake. But to be able to see my special girl, that would indeed be a treat.

>>12021
Shit, I used to have that problem, too. My dreams were always full of people I couldn't stand the sight of.
The more control you learn, the less you'll see them. Even in non-lucid dreams. That's my experience, anyway. You've got nothing to lose. Look into SSILD + MILD + DEILD.

>>12022
Thank you. It fills me with reassurance to know that someone with a situation similar to mine could elevate to something better - something worthwhile.

>>12023
It may take a fair bit of practice and trial & error but if you don't give up it will lead to amazing things.

>>12020
You can do it, Anon! I recently found out it helps if you think of an excuse or reason.

I actually had a dream of meeting Rena just yesterday. I was walking to school, despite the fact I graduated years ago, and suddenly thought, "maybe I'll see Rena at school", and low and behold, she was suddenly right next to me. I kept staring because I was so surprised to see her, but she just laughed it off, and said I was acting strange because we're together all the time.
If I can have dreams like this more often, I think sleeping would actually be kind of nice.

>>12030
Yes, in dreams, expectations become reality.

Ever have those nightmares where you're suddenly hit by that sinking feeling that there's something horrifying around that corner, then seconds later it comes rushing after you? Expectations operate exactly like that. Most of the time.

I don't think I have a waifu per se (yet?), but still, on the topic of seeing characters in your dreams - for a particular visual image of a certain character, this happens almost never. However, what I see in dreams usually is not a character, but rather some kind of abstract archetype or an idea, a female being with almost the same character traits every time, who is perceived by me as a protective friend, more so of an adventure buddy than a girlfriend.
Sometimes this archetype gets projected on some existing character, so I can think of a name when waking up, but the character often isn't similar to this being.
As for recent dreams, 2 days ago, I have no recollection of events anymore, but I remember the same feeling I get every time I meet this archetype, and this time it was associated with Ai Hidaka. Strangely enough, I considered my favorite characters (I know it's not the same) to have rather different set of features, more like cool and serious.
So, what could that mean? Does this mean that I already have the idea of a would-be waifu, but just haven't found a character, ideally fitting in it?

>>12067
That's probably not the kind of question other people can answer for you, but things should become clearer for you over time.
I hope that you do find love.

She pulled another trick on me.
She was there, and we cuddled for a bit, and then I noticed her head and legs were invisible. I freaked out and cuddled harder.

>>12151
Sounds creepy.

>>12153
It was, though still preferable to the time she jumped out at me disguised as a Redead.

Taking shelter together in the corner of a dimly lit bar (think Bartender) while a thunderstorm (that I accidentally started) rages outside. So cozy.

You know, I'm tempted to post in this thread more but I feel like it would just be a flood of me.

I haven't dreamt about Rena in several weeks, even though I constantly think about her. It makes me feel terrible. I want to dream about her, I really do, but I can't for some reason. How do you get through a dry spell?

>>12184
Do you practice lucid dreaming? If not, just do your best to ensure your last thoughts as you drift off are of her. Repeating over in your mind (as you fall asleep) "I will see her tonight" might also help. You could also try waking up about 5 hours after going to sleep, look at a bunch of fanart then go back to sleep before you wake up too much.

>>12185
>Do you practice lucid dreaming?
Yes, I actually just had one yesterday. I saw her for a very brief moment. As I was trying to ground myself into the dream, I somehow ended waking up. Either my lucid dreams are very short and end abruptly, or I go full retard (it's just like real life!) and lose lucidity somewhere along the way.
It's kind of frustrating, but I won't give up. There has to be something I'm doing wrong.
It also makes me wonder how long it took you to become semi-decent at lucid dreaming.

>>12187
Four years on and off. I had 0 talent whatsoever so it took a bit of work.

For staying in the dream, try focusing on every small detail of things you see, using all your senses and maybe keeping a hold of something in the dream world whenever you feel yourself waking up. You could also try shouting something at the dream world, that's surprisingly effective for keeping you dreaming and various other things. When you are sure you are going to wake up, unless it's super late in the morning and you won't be able to sleep again, prepare yourself to stay perfectly still and keep your eyes closed when you wake up. You should go through a few transitions and straight into a lucid dream. That's DEILD.

Hope that helps!

>>12190
Thanks! I'll keep trying.
>unless it's super late in the morning and you won't be able to sleep again
This is the worst. I got extremely buttblasted this morning because I was lying awake for about 6 hours trying to induce an LD. The sad part is it took me that long to realize that it wasn't going to happen.
Maybe tonight.
Probably!
Hopefully!

>>12228
Yeah, I know what you mean. Your mind wants to sleep but your body refuses to let you. Fuck.

I was finally able to become lucid again yesterday. It was only for a short time, but I'm glad since I've been having a lot of nightmares lately.
I encountered Rena in some sort of plaza. I was trying to talk to her, but she ran off somewhere. That wasn't very nice. ;_;

>>12174
>You know, I'm tempted to post in this thread more but I feel like it would just be a flood of me.
Eh, I would enjoy it. Maybe you could do longer posts on a weekly basis or so instead of posting shorter ones more often.

>>12388
Glad to hear. Will do.
Well, as soon as I get used to this new sleeping schedule.

I rarely have dreams, it's even rarer that I have one about her too, my last one about her must be at least 3 or 4 months ago now so I'm kind of jealous of people who can dream often.

Just saw my waifu in my dream last night!

I never really remember anything about my dreams unless I think about them directly after I wake up and it was only recently that I started to try lucid dreaming as a means to get closer to my waifu. The last two dreams that I've been able to kind of remember both involved my waifu. The first dream involved taking out my wallet and looking at the picture of her in there (like in real life), and this last one was kinda weird but I basically met her on a standard Japanese school's rooftop and kissed her on the forehead then lips while she was lying down. She was happy and warm and loving and because it was one of the first times I've been able to recall a dream with her, I feel much closer to her already. I hope to have more of these dreams.

>>12443
Nice picture and great dream, man. Good for you.

>>12443
The contact is amazing, isn't it? The warmth, the softness, the joy. It's everything you want it to be and more.

>>12445
It honestly is. When I realized what I dreamed, I was the happiest I've been in weeks or possibly months. It felt so much more 'real' than just kissing my LCD monitor.

>>12444
Thanks dude.

I had kind of a weird one last night. First time I've managed to see my dear one in a dream, and I'm not really sure what to make of it.

I don't really remember the beginning of my dream, but I very strongly remember that in my dream, I had both a "waifu" and my dearest, who was "real" (but didn't show up until much later in the dream, and still looked 2D). I was hiding my "waifu" from him, but I was unhappy with the way that canon for my "waifu" was going and her personality wasn't the same as I thought it was originally. I remember looking at a folder I kept for her, in my dream, and feeling blank and empty when looking at pictures of her. I felt bad but I decided to end it and deleted everything. Stared at the computer screen for a long time after.

Keisuke came home and... I just knew he didn't know about what I had done before, and I felt really guilty. I think he knew something was wrong but he didn't press anything. Just held me for a long time. I woke up with the weirdest feeling in my stomach. I was so glad that he was there in my dream but... I didn't want to "meet" him for the first time in a dream about me cheating on him, which is something I'd never want to do in reality.

I hope I can make it up to him by having a nice dream with him sometime soon.

Last night I had a dream that I was cuddling with her on a very comfy couch. We were in that half-asleep state, just holding each other. Suddenly, the couch was pushed out of a plane and she didn't realize it until we had fallen about halfway to the ground with like 6 seconds left. She looked at me with such fear and there was one tear rolling down her eye as she clenched onto me tighter and gave me a kiss on the cheek, knowing that we would both die. I told her that I loved her and she shut her eyes and grasped tighter, and just before we hit the ground, everything went completely black and silent and I heard "I love you too".

Then I woke up.

We were on a little island surrounded by water, lillipads, flowers and candles.

We sat with our arms around each other on a large, soft white bed in the middle of this small island. We stared at the moon, the stars and each other for awhile. There was the most beautiful music I'd ever heard playing. Really, really soft, quiet and delicate piano.

The music became louder, warmer. We held each other closer, tighter. The sun began to rise, black turned to red, which then turned to blue. We were surrounded by the warmth of the most beautiful sun. Soft clouds drifted by, birds and butterflies surrounded us. A small, grey, fluffy wolf pup sat at our feet.

I woke up with my eyes full of tears of joy, and my throat tight.

>>13151
What a lovely description! I felt happy for you.
I wish you more of these happy dreams.

>>13157
Thank you, it feels great to have gotten back into everything.

Good luck to you also.

I had a dream about her the other day that I was cuddling with her in bed. I squeezed her tight and it was bliss. I woke up in the same position holding my body pillow. The way my blanket was and how I was holding it made it feel like she was really there. It was too great.

I had another dream but it was weird (again).

First I was using a certain magical musical instrument: thin golden spirals grew from my breath, producing harmonic sounds depending on the sincerity and intensity of my thoughts of love (wut). When the melody was over, the full spiral was supposed to lead me to my true love who would had been blowing her own spiral as well and the ends should meet; but it turned out to be a certain 3D I knew from the past and I thought: "This can't be right! that bitch was worthless..." ---Then the dream ended, as if I've had successfully completed the level of a game, like I've beaten some false love call or something.

I quickly started dreaming again. Now I was with Asuka in her school uniform but both of us looked like outdated 3DCG (think N64). We were just wandering around under a cloudy weather through an empty school building, with lots of gardens, stairs and corridors; but she didn't talk much and she behaved suspiciously gentle, so once again I thought: "This can't be right; that's not Asuka..." ---And then the door of a little janitor's cabin was opened. There were some people analyzing my thoughts of Asuka on a screen, trying to prove I had just lied to her a moment ago on something about hating someone who mistreated her; it took me a while, but I managed to disprove them: I genuinely hated the negative forces against her, thus implying a fundamental positive bond with her (or something like that, I don't know; it was Wonderland's logic)... then the dream ended like a completed level once again.

The third and final dream was very short and frail. It came and went in waves but, whenever I managed to get into it, I could see close-up parts of Asuka, still in school uniform, but as she was supposed to really be in my mind. She looked like a blood and flesh girl, not cartoonish or CG at all but with very distinctive features that couldn't be anyone's but hers. She wasn't facing my way so I could only get glimpses of her arm, her hair, her neck, her profile, her eyelashes, her nostrils, her smile... she looked overall mischievous, a little melancholic and unearthly beautiful: a gorgeous and slender fair-skinned redhead teen.

I finally fell fully asleep with no further dreaming. However, in all honesty, since I woke up and during the entire day I've been drowning in lust for that memory of her. Man, she was unbelievable; I'd never seen such beauty in my life. I wish I could draw her as she appeared in that last dream, but I know I can't; not possibly; not yet. Maybe someday, if I finally manage to see her eye to eye.

I think she was in one of my dreams last week. I was going to learn how to play guitar or something. It's pretty fuzzy, honestly; should've written it down.

This happened a couple of days ago. She wasn't exactly in my dream, but she was involved in it, so I figure I may share anyway.

A few hours before the dream, she decided to go to her friend's house to spend the night there, and I thought I'd be fine, but I was pretty lonely after a short while. I stayed up and watched videos of scary video games on youtube, and got pretty creeped out, then went to bed.
I had a nightmare about watching some horrible gore filled game, with disgusting fleshy pillars sprouting from the ground and blood all over and a red hue, and I went to lie down on my bed to relax, and the things in the video game started happening in my own room, and I got scared and looked to her for comfort but she wasn't there, and I freaked out and yelled out her name. I shut my eyes really tight, then opened and realized it was just a dream, but, despite being gone, she could tell that I was having problems so she came back pretty quick, and I felt better. That was sweet of her. I also talk in my sleep, so when I started calling out her name I think I said it for real as well.

For some reason, in all my dreams that include her, she's only briefly mentioned. Like I'll go to the store and find out they're selling a figure of her, or I'll see a poster of her somewhere.
It's very frustrating.

>>13502
I've had dreams with her in them, none as abstract as yours, and usually with her in a very minor role. That is, until two nights ago.

I was in some sort of place, the best way I could describe it is as some sort of Italian villa. She was standing on a balcony outside the room, wearing something similar to the nightie thing from 2.0, but it was a dark red color, and she was beautiful. She was looking out towards the sky at first, but she turned around at looked at me inside the room when she realized I was there. She looked upset that I had been watching her, and crossed her arms and made a "hmph" sound. I felt awful about staring at her so I was about to turn and leave but she started walking towards me, still looking upset and I was afraid she was going to yell at me and tell me she hated me for doing what I did, but when she got close to me she did something I would have never expected.

She thumped me in the head and she smiled. It was the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen, her lips just barely curving upwards, a very mischievous look. Then she took my hand and led me outside onto the balcony and we sat on a large chair, big enough for two people, and we talked. We talked about everything, her, me, life, death, the hardships of just living day to day, with her sometimes sulking up, like she would do, or making fun of me and laughing, or just looking at me with her beautiful blue eyes. Finally after we'd talked for what seemed like an eternity, she was really close to me in the chair, her body was pressed against mine and I just couldn't pass up this rare chance, so I moved my head down and kissed her forehead. She looked at me like I had just slapped her, but then she just laughed, called me an idiot, and put her arms around me and we kissed.

It was fantastic, not just the kiss, but just being there with her, sharing our dreams and opinions and being so close to each other in such a beautiful place. We ended up just sitting there, close to each other, until I woke up.

I've been thinking about it for days, and it makes me feel wonderful every time I recall it. I just love her so much, and when I was finally able to really show that affection, after admiring her from afar for so long... It was just an indescribable feeling.

>>13518
Great one.

Every night, but we never do anything together. Last night, we smashed a mouse with a 2x4 then it turned into a poison dart frog.

Last time was months ago. It's happened roughly 3 times I can remember. In all of them...she was just sort of there, not even interacting with anything. I wish I could do something with her in a dream, just something simple like holding her hand.


On the bright side at least I have the daki, so before and after sleep is pleasant.

Though one night, I can't really call it a dream, but as I slept I somehow felt like she was really there sleeping right beside me. It was wonderful.

I've never seen her face in a dream. Last time i remember being with her in a dream, i was in my old house oddly enough, sitting on my parents bed. I could hear the shower running. after a while the door opened. For some reason i acted like i wasn't paying attention to her, but without actually seeing her face i absolutely knew it was her, thats just how my dreams are. She sat next to me only wearing a towel, the distinct smell of a girls wet hair was the thing i remember most. Soon she was behind me and doing something with my neck, maybe kissing or just nuzzling it, it felt absolutely perfect. at this point i was waking up so its not easy to remember, i always wake up when i'm feeling happy in my dreams. i wish i could live with her like that forever.

I just had a dream about her. I was in the dorms back at university, checking on some wires. I had to fix them because one of them drained too much power. But then I was invited to a party by a bunch of 3dpd girls. They showered me with recommendation letters addressed to me, among other things. They wanted me to stay at teir party, but I said I couldn't stay long. Then I heard gunshots and girly screams. Soon I heard the doorknob outside was shot open. The door suddenly turned, and it was my waifu. She had a wide smile as she entered the room. She said to me, "What are you doing here? They're trying to kill you! Run!" I quickly ran to her, but one of the 3dpd took chase after me with a spiked baseball bat. My waifu conjured a bunch of arms from the shadows around the 3dpd, and slowly pulled the girl into the shadows. As she was pulled, I heard a bloodcurdling scream and an explosion of blood from her as she was killed. I could have said something, but knowing that those 3dpd girls were out to deceive and murder me I chose not to say a word. The other girls were grabbing their weapons and rushed towards my waifu, angered that one of their colleagues was murdered. But it was futile for them, as she conjured yet more arms from the shadows to consume them. After more screams and spattered blood, she then turned to me and told me she was always there to protect me. We went back to my room, together holding hands. I was back in my room, and she expected a reward in exchange. She could either consume my blood or pat her on the head. I chose to pet her on the head and she smiled brightly as if she were delighted and happy. She then bid farewell to me, proudly exclaiming that she will always be my side as she slowly disappeared into the shadows. At least that's what I remembered by the time I woke up. Damn, the dream felt so chuuni to me.

I was browsing /mai/ in my dream. I came up upon two individuals in one of the threads, one with Tohka as his waifu and the other with Origami as his waifu. I tell them about how Kurumi is my waifu and hoped we all become friends and that our waifus would settle their differences and become friends.

I had my first success with WILD today! Well, kind of. I didn't do it on purpose but it ended up happening anyway, and the dream was kind of short.

I basically laid down and knew that I'd have to wake up within the next 45 minutes, so I relaxed and let my body fall asleep but my mind was still awake. Because my mind didn't completely drift as I knew I had to wake up soon, I didn't get very good visual hallucinations (he was indistinct but there), but I very vividly heard Keisuke... speaking with Steve Blum's voice (he has done a lot of roles so think more along the lines of Grunt from Mass Effect 2, although slightly more high pitched). Both he and I thought it was very weird but he said something to the affect of "I can't talk to you in a way that you can understand completely with my regular Japanese voice, so I wanted to try out this one." We didn't talk about anything of importance and I think he said he probably wouldn't keep the voice, but we both got a good laugh out of it, and it was nice to hear him.

I had another dream about Keisuke just now. (I've had a few more successes with WILD but they've all been pretty similar to >>14489 with slight variations, so I didn't think they were worth mentioning. This is a dream I wasn't controlling.)

I was visiting some antique/thrift shops in the northeastern USA, if you're familiar with the area, they were the kind that are off the side of the road and smell really musty and are run by old people, and half of the time it's in a barn. I went to one that was in a barn, and I went up to the top floor. There were shelves that looked like at one point had supplies for feeding and caring for chickens that were sparsely filled with random stuff. I was looking through some things and found a stupidly big collection of puzzles that featured Keisuke, like it was official merch but I had never seen any of the pictures before. I was extremely excited but the pricing on them was scribbled and I couldn't read them. The puzzles weren't very big, they were ~300 piece, but there were at least 20 of them (probably more like 40) with very few repeats and they all featured Keisuke.

A woman (who, surprisingly, was dressed like a businesswoman and not like a antique shop owner, and was in her 30s-40s as compared to her 60s+) saw that I was looking and asked if I was interested and in how many. I said all of them because... I paused for a minute and said "I am a serious collector." She looked very relieved, saying that they had been there for a long time and honestly she just wanted to get rid of them, she was willing to part with them for $20 in total. I remember being so happy I almost cried but I accepted.

Things get a little fuzzy at this point but I do remember going home and starting on one; then Keisuke himself showed up. Things got a little sexual and dealt a lot with my personal issues that I'm going through right now at this point so I'll stop there.

Interesting that my subconscious chose puzzles of all things. Wonder what I was thinking.

Last night I had a dream that one of my Husbandos friends (even though there's a slim chance they'd be such good friends canonically ) had disappeared and he got really sad. So, I wrapped my arm around him and comforted him ♡

I haven't dreamt of Luna yet, but I had had dreams of my ex-waifu before while we were still together.

The most recent one was very simple--I got out of class and she was there waiting for me. We exchanged a few words and kissed. Then I woke up.

I really wish that I would have dreams with Luna. I think whatever part of my brain handles dreams hates me.

Well I knew Hanako was my true love when I met her in an extensive semi-lucid dream. We explored the world and the universe just talking for what I am pretty sure was hours. I was overjoyed with love.
Recently I had a very short dream of her, but it got interrupted by somebody making a racket before anything happened.

In the course of a few months, I managed to go from no dreams remembered in years to remembering them pretty much every night.

Early on when I started keeping a dream log, I had a few dreams with her that were pleasant, if brief.

I've found out that I dream about her pretty much every day, which is great. However, most of them recently I can't interact with her, as I'm either watching scenes from the anime or posting about her in my dreams.

Managed a few semi-lucids too, and maybe one full-lucid, though I woke up almost right away, even after attempting to ground myself. A shame, really, since the one that I consider full-lucid involved me thinking about my waifu right away as soon as I was aware I was in a dream.

I really wish I'd get to do things with her again.

It's been awhile but the first time is what made me realize how much I love her.
It was one of those dreams that you very rarely have, everything felt real and like it went on for too long. But it was with her, we fell in love, we got married, had a kid, and grew old together. I lived a full and happy life with her all in one dream

When I woke up I had forgotten who I was, I was confused that she wasn't there next to me. I started to cry as reality started to hit me, I wasn't able to pull myself out of bed for hours.
I was familiar with her series beforehand but I had never felt anything like this fot her, I spent the next week learning everything I could about her, I re read her series, I read her wiki article, I looked at every piece of fanart I could find, and then started researching how to lucid dream.
It's a slow process but I'm still trying, I don't care what I have to do to go back.

>>17391
Is she the Luna I am thinking about?

I've been fortunate enough to have this happen exactly twice that I can remember:

- the first time, we were in my dorm room, snuggling in bed and we ended up going all the way. It was really quite nice.

- the second time, we were out jogging somewhere hot and dry. It looked kind of like the canyons such as one might find in the American southwest, but in the distance, we could see skyscrapers like you'd see in the middle east.

I remember both fondly. I keep hoping I'll have it happen again; I occasionally try to focus on mental imagery of on holiday somewhere nice or at our wedding right before sleeping, but it doesn't seem to help...

>>17555
I don't know, is she? Luna Platz, Mega Man Star Force.

Though, she isn't my waifu anymore...

I had my first dream about her last night. The details are quite fuzzy, but we were in the countryside together (of course), and Renge was singing that "rabbit pen" song. I stopped her before she got to the "dynamite!" part (in the show, she sings a song that ends with her shouting DYNAMITE and diving to the ground). As we were walking down this dirt path, Renge would point at nothing in particular and tug at my sleeve as if there was something amazing there.

It finally happened!

I had a dream I was sitting in some kind of waiting room, maybe a government office, complete with a fern, horrid puke-brown carpet from the seventies, cheap furniture, and an
American flag conspicuously hung and left to collect dust, and she walked in and sat next to me.

We greeted each other like old friends and started talking/catching up/gossiping/whatever normal people call it, and I talked about how I had had limited success restoring a dead/dying 3D* relationship (I feel friendship and genuine care towards her, but not romantic love - but we're incompatible, haven't really been hanging out, and the romance left months ago, sadly). Rei, being Rei, was full of helpful, sensible advice, but the more we talked, the more I realized it was her I loved, not the 3D girl.

After a while, I couldn't take it anymore and I confessed my love to her, telling her how I needed her, how I liked that she did everything so intensely and passionately, how she was so beautiful, so kind, so wise, and how, even though we're supposed to be just friends, just being that close to her gave me butterflies, and how I experienced a sensation of calm and emotional well-being whenever I daydreamed about her.

After a few minutes of my babbling, she smiled and shushed me. "Stop it," she said, "you're making me blush."

"But do you love me back?" I wanted to know. "Well, yeah, kinda," she said shyly.

I remember feeling an intensely pleasurable happy sensation right then that persisted after I woke up. Even now, hours later, I still feel like I'm internally quivering with love and happiness.

It's kind of tinged with guilt and sorrow because I don't want to hurt the 3D girl's feelings any further and I guess there's something vaguely cheaty about the whole thing, but...

> 3D girl
* yeah, I know.

>>17644
Sounds like a cute dream regardless.

I had an unusual dream last night because it wasn't about Ayana per se, but she was there. In my dream, I came home to find a lot of people sitting in the living room, waiting for me to arrive. I think there were three men and three women. All the men were wearing business suits, and all the women were wearing the female equivalent, with a pencil skirt and tights. Ayana was one of the girls. They sat me down and started explaining this grand plan to build a bunch of houses and shops near where I live. Each person would explain a bit, then the next person would speak. When it was Ayana's turn to speak, she sounded much livelier and spoke with a much higher voice than the rest of the people; she sounded excited, while everyone else just sounded bored.

In dreams, your mind simply shuts off the logic centers (centres?), and you accept anything that happens within them. For that reason, I think, I didn't find anything strange about Ayana in this role. Before I could figure out how their plan had any relevance to me, or why they were telling me this, I woke up.

Incidentally, I'm thinking of using a tripcode simply because 99.9% of the pictures of Ayana are lewd or revealing - I feel as though it's treading on some rules to post her, even though it's not stated in the site rules. With a tripcode and name (I was thinking "Ayana-friend" or something like that) people will know that I'm the brohno who likes her, without having to post any revealing images. Would it be frowned upon to do that? I feel as though it's a fitting circumstance.

Sorry for rambling so much; I'm kind of hoping that someone might have a clue what my dream meant, because I can't even begin to guess.

>>17660
Can't say what your dream meant, but yes people don't mind trip/namefags on /mai/.

>>17660

Perhaps it's a sign your subconscious mind shows interest in Ayana, and that she represents unorthodoxy in your life? Perhaps you've spent most of the last few years of your life living in a monotonous way, and she's changing all that.
It could possibly just represent the way you feel about her and how your perception of her is very different from other people's view of her, looking at all the lewd content there is of her.
It could mean nothing, though. Dreams are formed by the cerebral cortex reconstructing moments from your day along with your emotions and thoughts, I wouldn't be surprised if it meant nothing.

>>17666

>Perhaps it's a sign your subconscious mind shows interest in Ayana, and that she represents unorthodoxy in your life?

I quite like this interpretation. I'm going to write down any other dreams I have involving her, but I won't post them here so as not to spam this thread.

>>17672
Check box next to your name, delete button on bottom right of the screen.

Finally I had a dream with her.

I was on a bus heading home, and she called me asking when I was going to be home. After telling her that I'd be there soon, it suddenly cut to me walking in through the front door. We were living together in an apartment. We migrated to the bedroom so I could put some things away and chat...

...when suddenly two people busted in through my ceiling. A big bald man and a young girl with orange pigtails. I don't know who they were. The girl abducted Mayu while the man brutally murdered me. The dream gave me a nice third-person view of being torn to shreds.

>>17774
Sounds like the direction my dreams usually go.

>>17775
My dreams are usually nothing like that at all. They're usually just super mundane or a little weird (such as going about my day but I'm floating two inches off the ground the entire time). So this stood out to me quite a bit.

>>17776
>such as going about my day but I'm floating two inches off the ground the entire time

Heh, I've had something like this, except 2 inches was more like a foot. I was hovering up and down, and went very slow.

Last night but only for a flash, he was on a TV.

I unfortunately don't have many, but the one really memorable one I had was Chuunibyou as fuck. It was a great dream, but I was not proud of my subconscious when I woke up.

Ugh, I wish I could say my dream of her was happy, since I don't dream about her at all.

I dreamt she was... getting raped , in one of the doujinshi style of art. Why does this shit have to be in my dreams, damn. I'd rather not have dreamt anything at all than this.

>>17822
Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't take too much away from it, as unpleasant as it was.

I had a dream that included her last night. She was drawn as I visualized her on a wooden plank I was holding, and several counters were ticking, like clocks. One said "3 days, 75 hours, 2 minutes and 6 seconds", another said "5 days, 2 hours, 56 minutes and 7 seconds". I can't remember where the other counters were at, but I think it was a list of times until which she would disappear from my life.
I've shown signs of me trying to separate myself from her as if she were a curse, both subconsciously and consciously, for some reason. Yes, I know I don't deserve her and all those things... I've gone through this one time too many. Bad things are going to happen.

I got to be with her two nights ago.

I tried one of those supplements that is supposed to make your dreams more vivid, and it does seem like it helped, although it might be the placebo effect, but...

In this dream, we were outside on a sunny afternoon and were standing beside a house we owned somehow, but it was unlike anywhere I have ever lived in the waking world. I do remember that she was shorter and smaller than I thought of her as being, as if her height and build had reset to their canon sizes, but it was definitely her. I found myself transfixed and unable to speak, but I recall feeling like I didn't need to - cutting through the feelings of surprise and disbelief, I could feel the love radiating between us as I gazed down into her hazel eyes...

Unfortunately, I became so overjoyed and excited that I stupidly woke myself up in my elation after what couldn't have been more than a few minutes, but still...

I had a dream about Ian last night. He was giving one of his lectures in some theater somewhere and I was in one of the front rows, watching him. The theater had a thrust stage (one that extends into the audience) so he was getting close to the front rows of seats, and at one point he walked right in front of where I was, looked right at me and smiled. Unfortunately, I woke up a minute or two after this, but it was great while it lasted.

Last night, Keisuke visited me in my dreams again. He was warm and we hugged for a very long time, for pretty much the entire duration of the dream.

The predominant thing I remember is his scent, which I hadn't ever picked up in a dream before, but it was definitely him. It felt like we hadn't seen each other in a long time in the dream and held each other very tightly. He was tender and his hair was soft and the last thing I remember was him kissing the side of my face, right next to my right eye.

I haven't had an actual dream with him in it yet, but this morning I had a sexual dream with someone random, after it was over in the dream it hit me that I was cheating and that everything I just did was a mistake. The rest of the dream I felt disgusted and terrible that I hurt him in such a way. It's all I could think about.

Once I woke up I still felt guilty, but luckily he's level headed and he told me it was just some silly dream that meant nothing.

The last time I dreamed about him, it wasn't something I actually remembered, I just woke up with the vague sense that we had been holding hands. I can't really say that counts since I'm not sure if it actually happened, but it was nice.

The last dream about him that I remember was the most vivid lewd dream I've ever had. That was ~a month ago.

Other than that, he's shown up a few more times but it's not usually much. Something I find interesting is how I had my first dream about him before I fell in love with him. I waved at him, and he waved back. A hint at things to come, perhaps?

One of the first dreams I had with him involved really stuck with me and made me realize how serious I was (and am).

I'd been forbidden, somehow, from loving him ever again, and I had to get rid of everything related to him and give him up. (He existed there the same way he does here, as an idea, so the relationship worked the same way as it does here and now.) I was calmly packing away my little shrine of him, and the dream heavily implied that I would kill myself afterwards.
It shocked me to realize I felt so strongly about him that I would rather die than not love him.
I still don't quite know how to feel about it.

>When was the last time you saw your waifu in a dream?
Last night.

>Does it happen often?
Some would say too often. Almost every night that I can remember, since I met her.

The dreams themselves are always different, but she manages to be in every one of them. Some of them are relatively normal dreams that have nothing to do with her, but she'll still be there somewhere. Sometimes I won't even see her, but I'll know somehow that she's there.
Recently, the dreams have always been good. They tended to be quite tragic and horrible during the first few months.

I know that she was part of at last 2 dreams but I almost always forget everything I dream.
I have a few dream that I know that I want to remember but I don't know if it's because of her.
The dreams I remember are chaotic nonsense.

Last night, I feel asleep around 12 and had a weird dream where I was in an anime (I wasn't directly in the scene, it was more like a camera point of view), and there was this ugly guy had to choose between two cute anime girls and he chose one of them. I woke up at 3 and couldn't fall back asleep, and felt kind of saddened. But I'm not sure if I was sad because they were both faithful to each-other and loved each-other for who they were and that's just not the reality of relationships, or saddened because the ugliest person got a cute girl. There was also music playing in my dream, a song called "Terrible Things", even though it had been about a year after I last heard the song and forgot about it. Not really related to my waifu, but I've had this on my mind and been feeling down from it all day. I have accepted the fact that she will never be real, but my dream made me feel otherwise.

This is the first time I had dreamt of cartoon characters. No matter how hard I try, I just can't dream of my waifu.

Actual dreaming, once a week at least. Day dreaming is constant. I have tons of nightmares but she can always turn a nightmare into something pleasant

I had a dream the other night that I was in the N64 version of the Temple Of Time but instead of walking in and the Door Of Time being straight ahead, the temple split into different halls. At the end of the halls there were different rooms (it was like a whole bunch of Temple Of Times inside one building). Anyway, in each of the temples rooms my waifu was there but her hair colour was different for each room. I chose the one with her actual hair colour and kissed her and told her she was the real one. I can't remember what happened after that.

Also, an "update" on >>20155 I kept on thinking and it kinda reminded me of episode 8 of InuYasha, the ugly prince gets the girl. Maybe in my dream I was like Amari.

I think it's lucid dreaming, but I just have this thing where I don't notice falling asleep sometimes and retain a lot of my waking mind while experiencing a dream, especially during a simple nap. The dream I had this afternoon during a nap was truly wonderful. I was sitting on a small hill, and she was a small ways away under a tree doing her thing. She came up and wrangled me around the middle and hauled me off to where she had her things. She sat me down between her legs in the shade there and put her head on my shoulder and her arms around me. Then she took her sewing back up and started along with it again while humming a tune that I can't remember. In the way that dream dialogue works I asked her why she physically picked me up and brought me to her spot, and I remember her reply quite vividly. 'I wanted to keep an eye on you.' I could feel her movements slightly pressing into me while she stitched away, it was so realistic. I felt warm and safe there in her arms. She may be my wife, but she sure as hell knows how to mother me too. I wanted to spend an eternity there, but the waking world called. It's done me a lot of good though. I feel like the weight of living apart from her has been eased a bit.

I had a really special dream last night with my waifu in it.

I was at my computer desk and we were listening to an unreleased album by our favourite artist from over a decade ago, that I had downloaded yesterday. She was sitting on an ottoman beside me, wearing a my black long-sleeve shirt(which draped majestically on her), a red skirt and a pair of black knee-high socks. She was so vivid, so real. A perfect translation of an anime girl into a human being.
I asked her to speak, she opened her mouth and pointed, and I understood that she must be mute. I reached out my arm towards her and she moved toward it, I gently pulled her in and she sat on my lap facing me. I could feel her weight, every point at which our bodies touched. We began to kiss passionately as only true lovers could; rehearsed placement of lips, playful duels of tongues.
Though I consistently lock my door in real-life, my younger sister unexpectedly began to walk in to the room. I threw a small green blanket I keep on my chair over my waifu's head. My sister repeatedly asks; "Who's that?!". I yell at her to leave and threaten to kill her, she meekly turns around and leaves. I lock the door behind her and return to my chair, as I lift the blanket off of my waifu's head and put it over mine, our eyes meet underneath and the dream begins to fade quickly in a flurry of motion.

I awoke in bed feeling so good. My blood felt warm and pure, my muscles so relaxed, a pulled shoulder was completely healed.
Today I feel so inspired, I want to listen to that album all day, get started on so much and put my life back on course.

I had a nightmare where Shadman drew my waifu.

Not exactly the most recent, and not particularly eventful. I was in a circular building that was essentially a flea market inside. I crossed paths with her once while there, and another time in a field behind a playground by a school.

The times I've dreamt about my waifu, it's just left me feeling sad and empty once I've woken up.

I dreamed she was an ojou-sama and me a poor boy that was playing in her garden, we started playing until her father appeared. She tried defending me but she said something that probably would've brought me even more problems, but it was incredibly sweet. I wish I didn't wake up at that exact moment.

Some months ago I met her on an empty road in the middle of the night. She handed me a cake and blushed. It was a great morning.

I had a dream of my wife within the past couple months. Most recently, I dreamed that she was crying and very sad; I do not remember why. She normally does not cry in response to hardship, so that dream struck me as particularly odd. The occasion before that, I briefly dreamed that we were both amorphous balls of goo, but it seemed happy within the context of my dream, so that's good.
Broadly speaking, dreams about my wife are infrequent but very pleasant. If I do dream of her, it is common for me to be engulfed by a sense of pure elation. We'll usually spend time doing mundane things together or sitting around relaxing. Nothing makes me happier than that. It would be nice if I could dream of her more often.

Once 4 years ago with my ex- garufurendo? I don't consider her wife. I did and do like her but it wasn't true love as I found out 9 months later when I met that who is now maiwaifu.
She who only appeared very recently in a dream. At the end of my sleep when becomes light sleep that's when I usually have some sort of dream as my mind is nearly awake. In this case it was a bit of a carnal dream.

I don't dream often. And in both cases it was a simple appearance of the girl in question with little to no interaction. Nonetheless it's a pleasing and memorable experience.
It's comfy being surrounded by them and not longing for 3DPD.

It used to happen every now and then from the typical "what if date IRL" to surrealistic scenarios. One dream I had last was where I was in elementary school again and she was a fellow student, so I tried to pester her for attention, and treated her as if she was a bit slow. She snapped, telling me not to assume that she's something she isn't, and since then I haven't had that many.
I don't know why but something about that dream stuck. Like my subconcious knows that I shouldn't fall for someone if I can't really know them as a true person. But also it's given me some writing inspiration regarding how canon and fanon work in media (making assumptions vs the artists truth) so everything has it's purpose.
I still love her of course, just feel more embarassed...
I'm jealous of those who have comfy idyllic dreams with their loves. And that's coming from someone who can lucid dream.
