Why would you ever put the word sham right in the name of your product? That's like calling something the Gyp-dinger or the Ripoff-onia or the Fake-mobile or the Thisproductisbullshit-Great!
The other night I dreamed that I was in some sort of larger-than-life warehouse which was filled with rusted old bicycles, cars, and toys. There were skylights in the ceiling which gave everything a surreal sepia tone to it, and I remember thinking that the piles of junk reminded me of a thick forest. I was there with a small group of people who all wanted to buy something, though I don't remember what. After wandering away from these people I walked through the forest of rusted crap, and I saw a spiral staircase leading up to a gigantic platform suspended by long cables about eighty feet above my head. I walked up the staircase, and In the middle of a semi-circular mountain of trash and metal scrap I saw an old looking metal bed, and on the mattress lay a pillow with a mouth and eyes. I addressed it, and it said a few things to me, but I've forgotten the entire conversation because somebody woke me up. I think it had something to do with how sad and lonely the bed was, but I can't really remember.
That's about the most vivid, memorable dream I've ever had. It's a shame I didn't hear all of what the bed had to say.
Apparently I was experiencingSleep Paralysis.Looking back, it was a fascinating experience. I really wish I could find a way to induce it to get a batter feel for it.
A trick that actually works a pretty good percentage of the time if you can learn how to do it right (I get mild sleep-paralysis effects almost every time I take a nap now) is this: First, it works MUCH better when you're napping -- if you've been awake for too long, it's much harder. You have to lay on your back, perfectly still. Don't even move your eyes, not even a little bit. If you get an itch, tough it out. Eventually, you'll feel like you need to roll over. Supposedly, this is a test by your brain to see if you're really asleep. It can be really hard, but resist that urge.
Eventually (probably within 10 minutes) you'll start to experience the effects of sleep paralysis -- usually an all-over vibrating feeling, and a heaviness like there's a lead blanket on you. You may feel your bed moving or shaking, and you may feel yourself falling through the bed. Once, I felt myself spinning around like a wheel. You may have visual or auditory hallucinations. I've heard music, and once I heard a dog grumbling next to me. Once, I thought I saw my girlfriend come into the room, and when she left, this guy ran straight at me, right through my bed. Later, my girlfriend said she hadn't even come in the room.
Anyway, if you manage all of this well enough, you may even be able to go straight into a lucid dream. That's a trick I've only pulled off a few times, but it's pretty great.
I have some videos that describe all of this stuff in detail -- let me know if you want to me to hook you up.

I actually had a dream much like this about two days ago. I just remember lying there and being somewhat awake but couldn't move my arms. At first it wasn't that weird but then I started hallucinating. I was drifting in and out of the hallucination so it was pretty weird. I was in a bed in my dream but not in my room, where I was sleeping. Sometimes I was able to open my eyes but that was all. I would try to move my arms and legs and be unable to, in my lucid form but then the hallucination would kick in and I would start to be able to get up or move, but then I would become lucid again and become unable to move. The entire dream felt very tense and it was like I wanted to leave the place I was in or there was somewhere I was able to go. Also the entire dream was in black and white for some reason.

I have had many lucid dreams. I remember on I was in a store and realised it was a dream so I just explored it just to see what my mind would come up with. In another one I was on a steep slope of as cliff that was next to a bridge and I was afraid to fall. Then all of a sudden I realised it was a dream and jumped off One of the weirdest lucid dreams I have had was a sort of sci fi one. I was in a building similar to my house buy it was much bigger. There was a large hall in the center of it with an immense lion dragon thing next to an equivalent green dragon thing. They both had no legs and tails that trailed off into the abyss. There were many soldiers in white jumpsuits with red stripes on the arms that looked much like something from a 1980's robot anime. The army seemed to be chasing me and my female companion. I don't know if I was rescuing her of if she was my partner but I know there was someone with me. I remember running down a staircase and being shot at and then I realised It was a dream. I thought that for a few minutes but it was so real, and since I didn't wake up, I kept running. After a while I woke up
When I was like five I remember dreaming that I was under a waterfall and was being eaten by a brontosaurus. The weird part was that instead of thinking "omg I'm getting eaten!" it was "I thought they ate plants."
I had a dream that I was transported to an ancient city in the desert. It was beyond old, ancient beyond belief. I mean motherfucking old. I was told (by someone not really involved in the dream but still part of it) it was called the Edge of God. The city of the Edge of God. Freaky. The city was in ruins but the "Force of Life" was trying to build buildings and plant pretty flowers in it while the "Force of Destruction" was trying to crumble buildings. So I watched the buildings move in the flux of creation and destruction. And then I started eating the buildings. They tasted like cake.

I had a dream once with a life force sort of deal. I was on a cliff in a desert and below me there were a few buffalo skeletons but they were walking around as if they were alive. The area below me had some sort of mist around it. The whole thing felt like a vision quest.
Does anyone else have dreams in which they feel the strong urge to open their eyes but can't? When I'm having one I experience the dream with all my other senses but my eyes just keep closing shut and I can't open them. It's pretty annoying.

Yup, same exact thing has happened to me multiple times. Same with my legs being hard to move, like I'm walking in molasses.

Dude, this means the "force of life" is real. Use the force. Use the force to eat buffalo cafe skeletons.
I did have a freaky dream about dinosaur skeletons in mist when I was really little. I think I was about six. It started with a TV screen. There was a moon like landscape surrounded in mist. You know, dusty landscape with lots of craters. On the TV screen was the word "Greenlight". The screen went blank. A few seconds later, the same landscape was on the screen but now there were 100s of dinosaur skeletons scattered around. In white letters on the TV screen came the words "Greenlight Ghost". Not that shocking but it was super vivid and has stayed with me for over 20 years as one of the most striking drams I've ever had. I'm 29 and the memory of the dream still freaks me out. It was really vivid.

I get that one too -- usually, I'll be trying to run from someone or something. I also have dreams where I'm fighting someone, and I'm either so weak and slow that I can hardly throw a punch, or I'll be landing punch after punch right on the chin, but they're completely unaffected.
I have never had a flying dream, and I'm not ok with that.
That sucks -- I thought everyone had flying dreams. In most of the lucid dreams that I've had, as soon as I realize I'm dreaming, I start floating, and I can't control it. I'll try to either get back down to the ground, or start zooming around, but nope. I just float kinda helplessly. Last time, though, I was really flying -- I flew straight up above the clouds, then straight down toward the ground as fast as I could. It was like when you zoom in in Google Earth times a million.
So I'm on a bus with Emily, reading a manga. I think it was a school bus, because the other passengers were all high school students. Emily was in a high school girl's uniform, and so was I. I should note now that I did not feel this was out of place at the time because I don't think I was male. When I came to the realization that I was in a school girl's uniform because I was a girl, perception suddenly zoomed out. It was like being sucked out the world, as the sense of self left the Earth's atmosphere, out of the Sol system, and went beyond the Local Group until it came to a sudden stop with myself outside of the Virtual Universe System, standing atop a coolant valve. I was a guy at this point.
I found Radu, a co-worker, and we talked about how Sergei was no good when we received an alert that something was wrong with the fairies. This was a pretty critical problem, so we rushed up to the fairies' room to find them either flying erratically through the air or curled up in little balls on the ground. Whether they were up or not, they were all babbling incoherently like druggies on a bad trip. I realized they must have encountered a reality incursion, experienced a fragment from a non-magical world, and shit was about to hit the fan.
I had an odd dream the other night. For some reason or another, there was a tiger outside my home. Now, I'm on the second floor, and this tiger is leaping up, and trying to climb in through the window, but we managed to push him down. Then I realized my cat was on the windowsill for some reason. The tiger leapt up and smashed my cat with his paw/claws and set him flipping through the air and to the ground. I woke up as I was racing downstairs to go outside and help him, (Despite the fact that there was a freaking tiger right there)
It's one of those dreams that was quite upsetting while I was having it, and it seemed perfectly logical and realistic while I was having it, yet when you wake up you realize how stupid the whole thing was.
Dreams are funny like that, even the most illogical weird stuff seem to make perfect sense in your dreams. Well, of course the door out of your bedroom leads directly to your high school homeroom, why wouldn't it?

There was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that took place in all of the main characters' dreams, and it totally nailed that stuff.

That's odd. I had a similar dream about my cat and a tiger once. My cat didn't get hurt and the tiger was part of a parade that was taking place on my block. In that same dream, the local church was repurposed as a cage for some sacred lethal panthers. They looked pretty bad ass in there.
The worst (or just the most annoying) dreams I have are where I'm asleep and I dream that I wake up and get out of bed. I then proceed to do things, usually just a little off-normal, and realize I'm in school wearing pajamas or some such nonsense before I wake up. I can't recall well any dreams in particular, but those are annoying because I'll be doing something that day and think "Wait, didn't I already do this?" before I realize that I was dreaming the last time.
I was in Firefly on the ship with all the characters. Except in my mind I knew this was an RPG. We were going on a side quest from Dragon Quest 8. The interface was more like FF series and there were NPC's and everything.
Last time I watch Firefly and play DQ in the same night.

That's a false awakening. I used to get them all the time as a kid. Once, I watched an entire episode of Bobby's World (a rerun) before waking up.
One time I was apparently sleepwalking and I peed in my garbage. I got back in bed and a couple of minutes later realised "wait, did I just pee in the garbage?"
I dreamt a couple nights ago that seals built a bomb in a cannery and blew up Maine and New Hampshire to have more ocean. No idea how the bastards built it though, they don't have hands.
People say that you can't feel pain in your dreams, but I beg to differ. I've have many dreams where I have randomly been attacked by ninjas, pirates, pirate ninjas, and all sorts of random things. Sometimes it's part of a nightmare, and it doesn't really make sense. Actually, all of my dreams barely ever make any sense. It's kind of random and splintered, never having a coherent story of any sort, while being chased by pirate ninjas.

Your dreams perfectly reflect your post. Also, bullcrap on you begging to differ that you can't feel pain in your dreams. Unless someone cuts off your arm whilst you have the dream, you will not feel a ninja cutting of your arm in a dream. It's in between the ears as they say.
I had a dream were it was basically my normal daily life except that every time I tried to talk I couldn't and would start to choke rather violently, it was pretty damn weird.
I Just had a weird dream about 5 minutes ago, since I just woke up from a nap. I was in the hospital, I think It was because I was getting my Wisdom teeth out (which already happened) But a bunch of my friends were there and it was like II was having major surgery. When I got into the waiting room There was an arcade game that was similar to doom except you were being attacked by old people. There were only two enemy characters, an old woman attacking me with a purse, and an old man in a purple robe. The whole level was in some sort of dungeon with greens stuff on the grey brick walls. The whole game was pixelated too. I've never had a pixelated dream before.
