dreams with side effects :\

[Mini stapler]

I basically had a couple of dreams over a week or so that I wanted to share, that were pretty intense throughout the dream. I'll try and be sparing on details and keep it to the aspects that have led me to post them. Though it has ended up being quite long still!

The first, my house is overrun with people I don't know partying, it's very loud, their presence made me feel very over whelmed.
One person was intent on hurting someone I care about. I approach, and as I make my way towards him and his group I start to feel an energy build up inside me, increasing as I got closer. All the noise in the house became background noise to the sound of this energy and the feeling of it building up inside me, like hearing with your head under water. The energy felt immense, like I could explode at any moment, yet it felt under my control. I approached the group in question still with this energy building up, I didn't attack or shout, but just quietly and peacefully said something along the lines of - 'You really don't want to do that' They all stopped and started to back away and everyone quickly left the house.

I woke up from this dream, got out of bed nearly fell over onto my face, feeling very dizzy, and then threw up. I rarely get ill, I had no temperature, I hadn't eaten anything off or bad and no one else in my house was ill recently. I didn't actually feel sick, just very dizzy which lasted through out the day so I had stay in bed, as the dizziness made the world wobble some what when walking making me feel nauseous, and after sleeping that night I was back to my usual self the next day. Can a dream have this effect on your body? Or is the more mundane answer that I was just ill in some way, for one day, the more likely cause.

This is the second time I had this feeling of energy building up recently - The previous one went on a slightly different path though, I'll keep it brief, was an aware controlled AP/OBE i think, could of been a lucid dream though, I got off my bed, left my room and went to the kitchen, saw a big man in the kitchen, words were exchanged between him and someone I couldn't see about what was about to happen. I approach him, enquiring whether or not he was a ghost got no reply, I get exactly the same building up of energy as in the above dream, I approach, though this time, no control over it, felt like I was going a million miles an hour but not moving, like I was bursting at the seems, started ranting at him incoherently thoughts racing, and ran past him into the kitchen disorientated and falling around out of control of my body, I look at him and he's shaking his head, and just says to himself "I knew it was too soon" What ever the hell that was about, I have not a clue.

So the connection between the dream, and AP/OBE (I think) is that intense feeling of the energy building up, accept the first experience, I lose control, but the second in the dream, I keep control over it and seem to use it to handle an apparent threat.

There is a 3rd dream with connection to the 1st dream that I had 2 days later, the connection regarding the aspect of protecting someone else, this time a girl who to me felt like the embodiment of innocence. I wont go into details cause this post is pretty long already but it was intense and very emotional, I protected her for a while, though very fearful, from the danger but gave up, and let her be taken. And felt intense guilt over this for 3 or 4 days and still do a bit a week on. I'm not an overly emotional person, so it is most strange to feel such intense emotion over a dream event after I have woken.

I've had dreams strongly effect my waking emotions, as I'm sure many of us have, but never to the point of an entire day of dizziness or being ill. That's quite an extreme case as far as I know.

The second one, the AP/OBE, could be such a variety of things that I don't even want to comment for fear that Xanth or Lionheart will come along and blow anything I say out of the water. (Geniuses, I tell you!)

The third occurrence, which is what most interested me, seems to have been your own mind putting you through a "test." Your mind wants you to do the right thing, hence the guilt. Let me ask you this question: If you were given the same opportunity with the innocent girl, would you succumb to your own fear and let her be taken or fight until you couldn't fight anymore?

As for this extreme energy buildup you're experiencing, I would venture to guess you're going through a transition and this is new energy, or newly discovered energy. If I were you, I would experiment with the energy and see if you can come to control it, or use it.

yeah I was thinking it was quite an extreme reaction, it's just the fact that I rarely get ill, I didn't actually feel ill, I had no other symptoms other than being dizzy and the vomiting when I woke up, and the intense nature of the dream, that has led me to entertain the idea of a connection. Likely something more mundane, but it doesn't hurt to ask!

haha Yeah, I've been looking at many posts here and it has become very evident that there are people here with a lot of knowledge on this subject, as well as other subjects, and I feel very appreciative to be apart of this helpful, knowledgeable and most of all welcoming forum! Especially at what can seem a quite confusing time!! So, thanks to everyone!

Okay, yeah I would definitely try, I spent most of the day with that dream somewhere in my thoughts, and had the intention of reviving the events the following night, but I think doing it lucidly would kind of cheat the process, lucid I would have no fear of the danger I would be aware It has no hold over me, so I don't think it would be the same challenge as in the dream, where the danger was perceived as very real and very scary.

I'll describe the dream, you may find something in it to comment on or you may not; I'm sitting in my room looking out my wide open window, feeling sad with an expressionless face, watching some kind of parade or party on the streets, no one stands out in the crowd, but as I look around I see the girl, dressed in all white with brunette hair. She's just staring at me, she looks ten times sadder than I feel, and we just stare at each other for what seemed like a long time. I decide to jump out the window to approach her and try to help, but as I do she starts to run off up the road through the crowd. I chase after her, and grab her by the arm, she resists me but I feel that is not due to me, but due to someone else, so I don't let her go and make her face me.

The crowd starts to disperse and a group of overly large men, some 3 feet taller than me, with very disfigured faces run up to us wearing scruffy black long coats and black clothes, screaming and shouting extremely upset that I'm with this girl, one seeming to be a lot more distressed about the situation than the others, the girl swings round the back of me rapping her arms tightly around my waste, squeezing her body against my back. I felt like the man who was most upset had some kind of ownership of the girl, or the girl was owed to him by right somehow. I'm scared at this point and the girl is screaming in horror, not wanting to be taken. They try to grab her, but I fend them off at each point, and then they start saying things, I don't know what they said, but they made me feel like I had no right to be protecting her, keeping her from him, and that by doing so I was only going to make things worse for her and myself...

I started to pull back and turned her round to my front, trying to peel her arms off from around my waste one at a time, she hangs on to me, for what seemed her life, screaming for me not to let go, while the men grab her she has me by my wrist, and I'm saying sorry while pulling her grip off me and letting them take her. And I walk away whilst looking over my shoulder. Nothing obvious seems to happen to her, but they do take her away kicking and screaming.

and it ends there.

Could you elaborate on that part, sorry I'm pretty new to this stuff, I have a limited understanding, anything remotely vague and I'm lost . How would I experiment with it? I have seen references about 'energy work' but not looked in to it, is this what you are referring to?

You let her go?
Man you've got to learn dream control.
I bet you were miserable, dont let it haunt you. She was a test, the next time...

Yeah, let her go.

Indeed it would seem so.

I felt a sense of guilt over it, though not quite to the extent of being miserable. Indeed, there's always next time!
