i'm not sure how "paranormal" dreams are.. but i would think that sometimes there may be a connection.
in my instance, i had a freaky dream last night.. i remember it clearly this morning, which is what makes it freaky! 😮
note: i don't often remember any dreams i have. i used to back when i was in my 20's.. but since then, i've not had much happening up there. haha!
here is what i dreamt last night:
we were all in chat.
it was flowing.
Tim & Norene (i believe Donna was there as well) were on an ITC & Frank's Box Experiment in a private residence.
Norene kept getting her paranormal chills.
all of a sudden, the entire chatroom was saying they were also getting paranormal chills. some viewers even complained of dizziness and upchucks (spewing, blowing chunks, throwing up etc).
i was confused, kept shaking my head, as i was clearly feeling fine and not having any troubles at all.
then, without notice, a huge face popped out of my monitor and looked at me in a "devilish" smile..and then disappeared.
at the same time, Norene nearly screamed.. she shouted "i saw a face!"
and the entire chatroom became disconnected.. we all fell out in a mass exit.
i woke up with a startle, shook my head and went right back to sleep.
now i would think, it's all because we JUST had an ITC/Frank's Box Experiment evening at a private residence on Tuesday night.. and i saw a face (at the very same time Norene did).. 😮 and was shocked. couldn't even get a screen cap, that's how fast it went.
so i wonder.. is this because of what happened? is this why i dreamt this? like a recap with extras attached? 
i'm not sure about dreams.. simply confused about them most times.

🙁 oh my spook..dreams can indeed be disturbing..as with you most of the time i know what im dreaming but also tend to forget it when i wake up...the odd time i may get bits and peaces coming back thru the day but not enough to put a full dream together..
as for livescifi dreams, or chat or paranormal..yup i have them alot, probably cause this is well like my second home lol...i tend to remember the paranormal dreams the most...the last one was just a week ago, where once again i woke up with the feeling of not being able to move, i was sleeping on my side..(night terrors i suppose) but indeed again felt the entity/demon in my room...and it was not a nice thing..sure wish there was away to stop the night terrors if that is what they are, as i seem to be getting alot lately, not sure if its due to being the one year anniversary of my bro's death april 15..as i dread that day more then anything right now

ya Train.. it was a bit off..
i keep thinking it was because we had just viewed a night of ITC and Frank's Box.
Train.. i looked into "night terrors" and here is a link i found that may be somewhat helpful: http://www.nightterrors.org/ and from the all knowing wikipedia.. haha!: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_terror perhaps check those out? not sure if that is what you are describing, but worth a check to see what may help?
(((hugs))) it can't be easy for you Train. i am here for you, as i know others are as well. if you ever need to talk about it.. i'll listen.

No one has a consensus on what dreams are, since various experiments to try to study dreams have proved to be difficult. There are many different variables that may be taken into account when studying dreams, and various experiments have proven one theory over another in certain instances.
However, there are theories to help explain why people dream though. One theory is to exercise the brain in order to keep the neurons from degenerating, therefore signals are transmitted over random parts of the brain triggering many thoughts to occur. In this theory, the dream is a side effect from the exercising of the neurons/brain and has no logical explanation for what reason the dreams occur, except for the fact that it is random.
Another theory involves the strengthening of newly formed connections/memories, therefore strengthening what is learned or seen before and may trigger some of the past events into our dreams.
One last theory I will introduce is that dreams help translate external and internal stimulus while we are sleeping into our dreams as images or emotions.
However, I think it is safe to assume that all of the above theories are true and may as well all happen during the course of our dream or time sleeping. Due to these theories, images or dreams might stem from the subconsciousness of the individual, which may involve desires, past experiences such as traumatic events, thoughts, and memories. If the dream turns out to be too much, as in the case of a nightmare, the individual may wake from the sleeping state, since there is an immediate danger to the mental health of the person. It is this subconsciousness that psychoanalytical psychologist tries to access when they are studying the mind of their patients, through dream analysis, due to its ability to reveal what is hidden away from our consciousness. But then again these are all theories.
However, in spiritual way of speaking, if dreams are caused by stimulus, then a spirit's energy may influence the way we dream, therefore if the spirit has a bad energy, it might translate over as a bad nightmare and the opposite may go for a good spirit. These spirits may also manifest themselves in our dreams due to their influence over our bodies. Our bodies might wake from a nightmare, due to the reason mentioned above, which is to help protect the individual from harm, or cause the person to be aware of the danger.
However, we can still think in medieval terms that demons exist in our heads 😉 . "Demon, Be Gone!"
And those are my theories... I hope they are helpful
As for you spook, I think yours is just a recurrence of your memories from the ITC experiment. Since during that experiment, Norene was sensing things, while some viewers were actually getting sick watching the ITC feed, also people claimed to have seen a face pop out. The extra's might stem from other memories or what you were thinking might happen.
I hope my theoretical short essay helped you too train. However, refer to spook's links to find out what night terrors are, since I just wrote a general idea of what I believe dreams and nightmares are.
😁 hey thanks spook for the link to night terrors, that is what i am being told i have im just not 100% positive it is tho...i again had one this morning...took awhile for it to actually stop allowing me to get up..its becoming a bit upsetting to me considering i have alot going on right now..thanks gurl
and odd my that is a great explaniation for dreams, i read the whole thing, sure make alot of sense when its written down for you, makes you understand why you dream..and why the body does wake up during or after a nightmare...thank you also odd..for taking the time to type this all down for us..its appreciated 😁
xoxo train

WOW odd you must be very well edumakated....lol
I remember some of this from my psych class but it was pretty once sided towards psychology. I do feel there are many diferent types of nightmares and someone will come up with names eventually.
The way I was explained about night terrors doesnt exactly coincide with what was stated on that website ,but of course with dreams and night terrors its all opinion or theory right now.

most interesting odd! thanks for taking the time to help explain dreams, and posting your thoughts.. yes, i was thinking it was something of a recurrence of my memories, with the added bonus of extras. 😮
hey train.. i can only hope you figure it out and find your answers. (((hugs)))

what's really odd Spook is that almost seems to be what happened last night (April 1st, Noreen's) with the irc. The beginning went fine, we were getting great responses and the ones responded seems nice and the type you like to talk to. Then later around the time BB called (though certainly isn't BB's fault) It seemed something worse was coming through many if not most of the chats were commenting on how they were seeing disturbing images (bad faces, bad images of things, etc) and what's stranger yet is that several of us in the chats (myself included) were getting strange feelings.I myself kept getting a heavy feeling in my chest along with feelings of pain, sadness and fear. The sadness even brought me to tears a few times. I even started to get feverish and toward the end my right hand (and only my right hand) began to shake. I had to step away from the computer several times and a couple times had to just disconnect completely from livescifi for a few moments. I know several people in chats suggested I should step away or call it a night completely (but it was my first time experiencing the irc and frank's box and I was just so fascinated by what I was seeing). I remember Tim mentioned as well that he had an odd feeling, but it wasn't anywhere near as odd as mine. Also while we were doing the IRC Noreen did comment several times that she was seeing a face in the screen.
All the odd feelings I was getting stopped completely as soon as the crew shut off the irc and I was back to my normal self. I also felt better every time I shut down the connection, but not as much every time I just stepped away without the disconnect. I was so caught up in the experience it completely slipped my mind to try to even take any captures.
Thx for sharing your odd dream Spook. Glad to be back.
thats funny Spook. I didn't sleep well last night because I kept having troubling dreams about ITC. I don't remember the details, but i know I didn't like it. What a coinky dink.
