Sorry about my grammer i am not of english speaking natively. I Am 13, and as such i have horror from my perspective as a teen. I Was in some place the weather was cloudy, on the verge of raining and i was in a little store. The kind of small store where you can buy ciggarettes, magazines, etc... It was unusual, the floor was a white tiled stone floor, and from the doors view the counter was to the left. But i think there was no door.. Still speaking from the doors percpective there was a rack, JUST to the right on the wall the door is on. The rack was a hat rack, but instead of hooks there where baskets, and in one of those baskets was a pad of snuff(tobbacco bag you but in your mouth). I Took it, and ran with my friend and said "DUDE RUN, I TOOK SNUFF!". He responded, now keep in mind this is a bad dream. He said: "RUN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE CAN DO!" We ran and ran,*cannot remember this part but i assumed we just ran.* , finally we stood infront of a forest. It had a big hill(steep) covered in trees, we climbed up and when we stood on the top he said. "Finally we can stop, we should be safe here.." Then we get a call: "I Am sorry ? Your mom ? Car taken ?" Cannot remember more. The Store: # #C.# #.R..# #_# C = Counter ARE = Rack Thoughts(this will be in my journal from now on): My thougths about this dream is that in the dream world as you lose your concept of reality, you lose concept of emotion and what is important to you. Basically you become a monolith, this means that your subconsious must be able to somehow influence your thoughts, it could in essence be a happy dream yet scary. This idea would be consistent with other nightmares i have had and other strange dreams i have had such as my first LD yesterday. It had no point of being scary, but as you are a monolith in your dreams the dream influenced my dream character into being scared and then giving a reason for it. SO that would mean that emotion and reason for emotion are seperate and indepentant. And because emotion is in memory aswell, reason for emotion might not be. Which would mean that you look for a reason to be scared when there simply is not one! You just are scared. The concept is hard to grasp i know. This would mean that if i had an insane dream, the dream itself does not effect emotion. So i could be fully happy, even angry or sad. Now where does emotion come from then? I think lucid dreaming can hold the answer, anyone who is reading this, the next time you have a lucid dream please ask your subconsious to show you the reason for emotion. Or try to find the reason, or do some experiments. IF you get any results, or have an opinion about this concept, please contact me, either through this thread or PM.
