Bizarre dreams

It's interesting that this topic came up seeing as how I just got done talking witht he professor of one of my dream classes. As far as the actual content of your dreams you have mention I know nothing about that but the "non-violent" violent dreams are extreamly common. You may be trying to punch someone and everytime your fist gets close to their face it slows down significantly which causes them no harm. Shooting the people and having them shake it off like nothing happened if also very common. Screaming in your dream usually doesnt work in most cases. I have had countless dreams where I want to yell at someone and nothing happens. One thing I have had pounded in my head by all these professors and books is not to take dreams literally at all. This meaning that if you have a dream and someone dies or something goes bad in an event that you had planned you should not cancel your plans or worry that the person is actually going to die. Also if any of you people out there are lucid dreamers (have full control over the dream) then things get real fun. If you ever realize your dreaming but don't wake up but instead decide to "explore" your dream always head down. Look for stairs going down or houses with basements because I have been told this is where your true inner-concious is. I myself have had alot of dreams where I am running into a house and as soon as I get into the house I have full control over what I am doing in the dream so I head to the basement and most of the time I will wake up suddenly or It will be something from my past that I have nearly forgotten about but had a huge impact on my life. Also keep a dream journal if you are really interested by your dreams. It will blow your mind when you go back after a month or two and look at some of your dreams. BTW I really do not know alot about this subject becuase I am a criminal justice major but I always get into dream classes whenever they become available because its so weird.
