Lucid dreams

Hoi !

   If you're one of the regular readers, then you shall recall one of my very first posts where I mentioned how I love dreaming, and enjoy them a lot. Doesn't matter if it was a nightmare or a sweet dream, I enjoy them either ways, sometimes wish I could have popcorn & Cola while dreaming.. because things get interesting!
   You could scroll down or find the first posts to know what I think of dreams.
  
    
  
     I quote what I wrote in the last post
Lately, I've been having those dreams, in which I can't identify or be sure if I'm awake or not. It seems like they're all real... Like all of sudden the dream is real life, I'm awake.. I'm living those moments..  
It gets scary sometimes..
Yet I somehow find the joy in them. 
Sometimes, I control my mind in a way to dream of the same thing again.. I succeed.

    Okay, so I had no idea that this thing has a name. It's called 'Lucid dream' and I wasn't making up stuff when I said I could control my dream. Funny eh?!

  It is an art actually, being able to Lucid dream. 
1- Lucid dream is the ability of waking up in your dream while you're still asleep. The conscious mind is awake inside your unconscious mind. It feels so real.
2- Lucid dream is when you realize that you're dreaming, but you're somehow awake inside your own dream. So whatever happens you know you won't get harmed because it's just a dream.

  Well, I didn't really know there is such thing... I just happened to have so many dreams where I knew it was a dream yet I kept on going on with the dream. There also were sometimes where I could control what exactly I wanted to see in my dreams and I really enjoyed every moment of it. If I'm not mistaken I slept longer at that while just to keep dreaming. However, sometimes all this got really scary. I could not describe the fear I had when I woke up because it felt so real, I couldn't -for a while- know if it was real or just a dream, it's amazingly scary yet enjoyable.
I don't know if this other case that I have faced has a name too or if it's considered as Lucid dream or not, but it happened to me twice where I knew I was sleeping, yet I felt like I wasn't in my own body, like I was staring at myself sleeping. I know this might sound really crazy but it happened and I was horrified because I couldn't control myself or wake up, all I know is I saw myself for few minutes maybe it was seconds and then blacked out. this shizz is scary I'm telling you.
   I don't know about you but as I was thinking about this whole thing and as I'm writing it right now I'm thinking of the movie 'inception'. That movie had messed up my head a while back when I saw it.  [my lucid dreams were even before watching the movie so no, it had no effect on inspiring me at all ].
   Furthermore I will repeat this : Your dreams are nothing but the thoughts inside you. Yes, you're the one who builds your own dreams whether you know it or not [ subconsciously or consciously.]
   
    just so you know, it's normal and healthy. Yes Lucid dreams have no harm on anyone.

    I've also read somewhere to know if you're dreaming or not look into the 'mirror' if it's blurry and you can't see yourself, then it is a dream. Look at your hands, feet or any body organ if it's normal and usual size or do they look weird :p ,  if you're doing things that you don't really do in real life then yeah it is a dream. 
The easiest way that Dad told me about whenever I asked him 'am I dreaming?' is to let someone pinch or slap you.. if it hurts then DUH you're awake otherwise enjoy ;p


   I think I will make a journal about all those amazing dreams I enjoy every night. Got a story or a dream wana share? I'm the right person.. I enjoy telling and hearing about dreams.
there is a box there --> where you could write me a message or something so feel free to, otherwise if you want it to be private then I might as well give my email, just let me know :p

Seal your lips!!!

  What happened to the word 'private'
Doesn't it mean anything, anymore?

    " Got a secret
      can you keep it,
      swear this one you'll save! 
     Better lock it in your pocket taking this one to the grave, 
     If I show you then I know you won't tell what I said,
     coz two can keep a secret if one of them is dead! "

  Awesome people who watch pretty little liars are familiar with the lyrics above ^

  
  Dad always told me, if you tell someone your secret, it's simply not a secret anymore. He was right, even though I couldn't agree back then with him, but life always teaches you the hard way when you don't listen to your parents eh? 

  Perhaps it was easy to find a true person back then -long long ago- but it's really difficult to find one nowadays eh? No one is simply loyal, it's all about 'looking for your own good' [ ma9ali7 ]

  
  I won't comment furthermore about loyalty, friendship etc.. I'll focus on the topic I had in my head; Sealing your lips!
   
   Some people don't have the word 'privacy' in the dictionary of their lives. They would constantly talk about everything without the feeling of 'shame'. What I mean by that is, they would just talk about their personal life to whoever, whenever! Get the picture? We don't want to know what you did in the shower! We don't want to know what 'x' said to you, we don't want to know what time you went to the toilet! SEAL YOUR DAMN LIPS!
   Maybe tell one person, your bestfriend or something but don't tell it to everyone you meet. Those are the people anyone should avoid -unless you're a gossip person, then your job is done perfectly when you're with  these people-

    Where is your dignity? You know that these things are all related right?


  Sitting with such people ruins my mood. They drain all the fun out of life. Also, I feel so uncomfortable with such kind, because anything I say next would be used against me, you know how that works.
    
   Before telling your secrets or anything to anyone, make sure that person won't ever use those against you in the future no matter what happens [goodluck in finding such person].

  It's not fun knowing every little detail about your life if I don't really know you well, and if we're not 'real' friends.


   I think that is one of the things people with no personality face? I don't know... but as I deal with more people everyday I figure out no one knows how to seal their lips. Okay, so I tell you something even if it's not a secret I wanted to tell you, you only there is no need to go and tell everyone.. BAH!


   As you're reading this post I'm sure you'll be thinking about some people who are like that, just a reminder be careful of what you say. There is an arabic quote :

  لسانك حصانك ان تصنه صانك و ان اهنته هانك
which means : your tongue is like a horse, if you use it wisely it will save you, if you miss-use it, it will give you hell.
     So yes, try to take it as advice and seal your lips. Not everything you hear is for sharing. & your personal life is yours, you don't have to tell people you just met what you did, know what I mean?

When my 'blood glucose' decides to go 'hypo'

Hello Lovelies,

     So as you read in the previous post, I was explaining about Diabetes and all. I've received so many messages thanking me for that post and that it was useful, I'm so happy and glad it was useful, and as I said I can answer anything related. 
    On this post I will talk about when my blood glucose decides to go hypo.    
    The full form of hypo is hypoesthesia. It means when there is an abnormal decrease. 
    Funny thing that inspired me to write about this is because when I woke up today my sugar was really low. 
    Now you see when I was in Oman, if the sugar goes low I crawl to my mom's room and wake her up or yeah just go to her and she would check the BG, if it was low she would give me chocolate [ that was like a grand prize ] that she hid, especially for me. I loved that a lot and she laughed sometimes saying ' yeah aren't you happy about that, you sneaky little thing'. It was so much easier there because when hypo attacks me I become so helpless, I can't literally move. The feeling is so horrible, I feel so weak and tired that sometimes I pray not to die or go in comma. All I think of at that time is 'stay focused you can do this'.
     Here since I'm all alone, I have to have chocolate in my bag if I'm going out, or next to me on bed if I'm sleeping because like I said it's hard to move then.  That's one reason I hate to keep my BG in a normal rate before I sleep, since I sleep for long time the sugar goes low, and then I wake up in trouble. 
  
  
   God bless my mom, and my whole family. I miss them so much.


Till the next post, stay safe readers x
