Have you ever dreamed that you were in T'A'R?

[Lupy]

Last night I dreamed I was in T'A'R. My clothes kept changing, as did the things in the room around me. About halfway into the dream I figured out where I was and teleported to Caemlyn. Then I wandered around until darkfriends attacked and I used my dream-given warder powers to own them. It was the best dream ever.

 

Has anyone else ever dreamed that they were in T'A'R?

[randsc]

Umm, no. Have you been taking your meds?

 

Sorry, just playing.

 

But seriously...no.

[Incom]

A dream world within a dream within a--were you watching Inception? o_O

 

I think it'd be cool tho.

[Senexx]

Lupy, that wasn't a dream.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i used to always know when i was dreaming, and i could pretty much control the dream once i realized it was a dream. it got so boring i mostly stopped dreaming, or at least stopped remembering my dreams.

 

interesting study recently - people who play video games a lot tend to know they're dreaming more often, and to manipulate their dreams more, than people who don't.

 

makes sense to me - you get used to manipulating your visual world, and it carries over. it doesn't happen as much since i stopped playing so many video games.

 

so maybe you're playing a lot of video games and reading a lot of WOT?

[LisaMetzelBonnet]

Yes, I've dreamt that before. It was after I'd been reading a lot of WoT. I was just looking for messages in a palace. Popped back out of the dream and woke up. So great! Had an awesome day the next day.

Joking about that first paragraph?

A dream-like state where visitors can get hurt, I doubt that applies to our universe.

I play computer games somewhat frequently and I do not manipulate my dreams. And I tended to know whenever I dreamed long before I played any type of video game; even after.

Nope, that's what I dreamed. I did spend a couple of hours before bed using the WOT encylopedia to read about T'A'R to try and see if any of the Forsaken had ever appeared there and gone unnoticed. I found no evidence that they had.

[Aiyen kin Leary]

Never dreamed I was in T'A'R, but I have dreamed about using balefire.

[Sid]

Yo Dawg, I heard you like dreaming.....

If you mean 'unnoticed by the readers' then I don't think so. If you mean 'unnoticed by others in T'A'R', then I know for sure Demandred did in LOC.

You do know that just because you are a part of group A (people that play computer games frequently) and that people in group A have a greater tendency to part of group B (people that know when they are dreaming), and a greater tendency to be a part of group C, a subset of group B (the people that maniplate their dreams) - just because you are a part of group A, you, personally, have no greater chance of being in group B or group C, or even a greater chance of being in group C because you are both in A and B. The only interdependency in the stated study findings is that people in group C must be a part of group B. Group B membership is neither dependant on member ship of group A nor on being you.

Thus, what you said, that you are part of groups A and B, but not C, has no bearing on the study's findings, though your reply insinuates that the study has a flaw because you are A and B bot not C.

I once "dreamed" a Wheel of Time theory (a long time ago...I think I posted it on wotmania). It's fairly common for me to think up things in my sleep and bolt awake though.

[Evoke]

I've woken up from dreams within dreams. I've flown across the rooftops of London. I've understood that I was in a dream and seen the world unfold. But I've never been there.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

thanks, nooska. i didn't have the energy.

[Lupy]

Yeah, it seems like nothing goes unnoticed by the readers.

The results of the study, can they be accessed through some site?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i don't want to post the outside link, but if you google "study video games dreaming" it's the first hit. i think it's livescience, but i'm sure it was all over the internet a couple, three weeks ago-ish.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

(and yeah, i know the original study was published in may, but internet news recycles, and i saw it on yahoo around the holidays.)

[Calliro]

Dreamed that only while awake.

I almost never remember my dreams and even when I do so I forget them very quickly. There's just one dream I've remembered a longer time (as far as I still remember), but that was some kind of nightmare, which is quite difficult to explain.

i dn't want to follow outside links, either. . . sorry. . . so i'll have to say RAFO :)

Only way for me to "find out" is if someone confirms or corrects.

[alligator]

No, I've never dreamt myself into t'a'r... but wot certainly does infect me in other ways:

 

Today I was absolutely CERTAIN that 'The Wind that Shakes the Willow' was a real song. Had to check the web to make sure... :)

i'm not sure what you're asking. if you're interested in the study, you can google it, and read it. if you get a hit on a study linking lucid dreaming to video games, it's probably the right one, because i don't think they've published another yet. as i said, you can read it and find out whatever it is you're looking for. good luck.

 

(erm, i've tried to edit my post to make it sound less snotty, because i don't mean to be; i shouldn't have posted from work :( )

[LatifahAbdul'laah]

I haven't dreamt of being in T'A'R but I do have what I call true dreams likeEgwene. There is a meditation method, that allows for astral trvael which is very comparable to dreamwalking....ad I have done that too. It is very comparable indeed.
