Dream Help, Fading Dreams?

Question

I had a dream the other day. It was unlike any other dream I have had because it seemed like I was "fading" in and out of dreams. The 'dreams" were short sequences that really didnt seem like they meant much.

A short version ( broken up into segments )

Segment 1: I am in my bed, staring in front of me, it is pitch dark.

Segment 2: I dream that I am outside, walking down the street

Segment 3: I am kneeling on my bed, with my head on the matress, writhing in pain, I eventually fall to my side and pass out.

Segment 4: I walk outside of my house, and look at Christmas lights on houses and the dirt/grass below my feet

Segment 5: I reappear in my room, looking at things on my desk with the light on

Segment 6: I am eating lunch in a laundromat and explaining something important to some kid

etc...

This went on all knight. Every time I reappeared in my room, I felt distressed. The weirdest thing is that I dont know if the sequences in my room were dreams or not.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It sounds to me like it could have been a lucid dream.  You may have been conscious some of the time in your dream and the pitch dark may have been because it was dark and your eyes were open.
