"Happiness is like peeing in your pants..."

... I can't remember a lot of my good dreams, just the bad ones...

My sister, when we were super young and sharing the same room, woke up one night to hear me say:
"Don't go Batman! I love you!"

Apparently he did because then I turned into my pillow and cried without waking up.

xd "...Everyone else can see it, but only you can feel the warmth."

Wow, that's cool. Dreams are fun. Mostly because I know I'm dreaming so I just go nuts. I can make just about anything in my dreams happen. the catch? After a while, I lose control and the results... vary stare
I've jumped off cliffs in my dreams... until the day I was so relaxed about it and hit bottom before i woke up... somehow... it hurt more than anything I've ever felt in real life... made a note never to do it again... dream or not.
And my favorite. Once I dreamt I was in Egypt while they were building pyramids and it was just so fascinating.

ninja Hehe, that's cool.

Well I remember stuff from real... But I can't really control the contents of my dream... perhaps a lil bit what I do in it though. But I'm not like a god in it.

There was only one time I had a dream that was as close to an answer from God I'd ever had. But that's all it was... just a dream.

I was reading the Bible late one night. I could hardly keep my eyes open (as I do with most good books that keep me up through the night). I read about the angels in heaven and their constant praise. Of particular interest were the angels said to sing of God's grace forever and ever. Now because I was raised with one Jewish parent, and one Christian parent, I was exposed to content on both sides.
The question that plagued me as I'd finished was... why would anyone just want to sing to or about someone forever? Wouldn't they get bored? It seemed unfulfilling just to praise someone forever. I actually thought the idea was very stupid.
And then I went to bed.
In my dream I was standing in a forest. It was very beautiful. I was dressed in a simple white robe, and... I was singing...
It wasn't just me. The forest was full of people that were singing. Strangely, I didn't even understand the words, but I was still singing them. I meant every bit of it, but I didn't know why. Thing is, I didn't care why either.
The sky was filled with an endless white light, radiant like the stars themselves: brightest towards the center.
It was the only thing I knew. We were singing to the light.
I remember how happy I felt just singing. It was liek the greatest feeling in the world. I coudl have cried, but I was too happy to cry.
Then I remembered the question I had before I fell to sleep.
Why would anyone do this? It just doesn't make sense.
Then remembered myself, and... I stopped singing.
Everyone else around me stopped singing as well.
But then, for a reason I can't explain... I felt very sad - as if my heart had been broken. I felt weak, fearful and afraid.
Looking around, everyone seemed as confused as I was.
An old lady asked me what was wrong. I just stared at her blankly and asnwered- "I just stopped singing."
She just stared at me.
Then she started singing... all by herself.
I remembered how happy I was to be singing, and I wanted that happiness more than anything else int eh world. So I too started singing.
So did everyone else.
We were all singing together again. In my dream, for some reason I knew, I would never stop singing again. I can't explain why.
When I woke up I cried for hours...
It was the only time in my life I ever felt connected to what might have been an answer, but never since.

I will always remember that dream, because unlike most dreams, it holds a place in my heart by the dearest of memories.
What I felt singing... like the words I used to sing... is beyond anything I understand to this day.

And I botched that too!!! xp
Alright, new excuse - I've been up almost 48 hours anyway. crying

@Sefira... God can reveal things to use through dreams sometimes... Take the example of Jacob in the bible... God spoke to him through some dreams. He even wrestled with an angel as he slept. Joseph also had dreams and visions of things, which God revealed to him... As for why you'd continue to sing and sing...

If you saw the most amazing thing ever, who loved you, and took care of you, and made everything the way it should be... so basically everything about that thing was the best ever... Wouldn't you want to praise it all you could, for being so amazing... That's why...

Let me put it this way... If you were about to die, drowning somewhere... and this guy comes in and saves your life... and he does this over and over again as you nearly die many times... Wouldn't you wish to give him some gratitude. He would pretty much be like the best thing ever to you right? You'd still be alive because he saved you so many times. You'd try to do as much as you could to thank him.

Hopefully that clears things up a bit.
