are you walking"normally"?

Usually when I dream, I am functioning at a pre-MS level.

Last night, I had a dream that I was a waitress,in my current state of being,, all MS-yπŸ˜‚, dumping food and drinks on everyone I served. 🀣

I woke up before the brawl.

Yep! The running dreams are always interesting.

You were a runner, right? It's nice to experience that again. :)

yep. Been 4 yrs since I ran (outside) every once in awhile I do a few laps in the family room but that’s getting tougher too.

Ironic, MS progression is really regression 🫣

My last attempt to run outside eneded with me in the ER. I was trying to complete my last physical training test prior to retiring from the Army. I maxed the push ups (the men's requirements 😊) I passed the situps....MS hug monster πŸ‘Ύ was definitely making its presence known. The run as a result of the hug monster πŸ‘Ύ turned the run into torture. I did a little over half of it before I was seeing stars and had to pull off to the side of the track and lay down. I don't remember losing consciousness, but several people said I did, and so I was taken to the ER. Fun times. πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ

When were u in army? I was in 1977-1987 foot drop noticed but neurologist never even considered MS. I wasn’t diagnosed til 2008

1987-2017. I wanted to stay in another 3-4 years to make CW4. My chances were pretty good. Just needed to complete a professional development course. But couldn't go to it because of the medical problems I was having which turned out to be caused by MS.

I rarely remember dreaming about myself, but when I do I'm back in my childhood, so yes. There's a lot of sunshine and butterflies and running through the fields.

In my dreams I can usually walk normally. But then, I dreamt of swimming before I learnt to swim, and I sometimes dream of flying - not like a bird, but running with my feet not needing to touch the ground.

πŸ˜‚ early this morning I had a dream that I was back working in a very large special procedures, lab with one of my old bosses, and I was moving and Groovin, but we were in between patients, and for some reason I had cooked up a huge batch of spiced shrimp 🦐 🀣 I don’t ever remember being disabled and having trouble walking in my dreams..

πŸ˜‚ right?!

I am whole in my dreams and have no fear of heights while dreaming. I can build a treehouse, apparently πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I've always been a vivid/lucid dreamer, but the 2 things that have made dreams more wild are pregnancy and Mavenclad. I've had dreams twice now about things that have not happened yet. Super freaky. I have one more year of Mav to take and I'm both excited and worried 🫣🀣 I'll take whatever weird bad dreams if it means I get to talk to Gpa again, which feels like all the love in the world! πŸ₯°

falalalala profile image
falalalalaβ€’ in reply tokdali

You mean predictive dreams?

I have had one lucid dream and it took care of the nightmares I used to have about bears :)

kdali profile image
kdaliβ€’ in reply tofalalalala

I don't know what to call it πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Maybe you know what it is? The first one I was pregnant (did not know gender) and I was at the beach talking to a little blond blue eyed girl I've never seen before. It was strange because she was the size of a 2yr old talking like an 8yr old, so I shrugged it off as "the dream about the beach elf girl" and forgot about it for a few years until I realized she was my actual kid now! Blonde, blue eyed, 5th percentile tiny elf child, and speaking in sentences/engaging in conversations very early (off the charts actually, she isn't just smart like they all are, it's bizarre). Freaks me out to think about taking to her before she was born, but kinda cute.

The next one is not cute. I spent my entire dream with a friend in silence while he cried. I see this person once every 5years, and his dog is the best and coolest dog (husky) I've ever met! She was not in the dream. I sent a message noting how horrible I've felt since the dream and needed to know if he's ok. He wasn't ok, he had to put her down that day (she was 14). Wasn't really predictive, but no way for me to have known any of this. We laughed that it was ESP or something, but this is super freaky.

So, yeah, what is this? Why the H am I not getting lotto numbers?

I'll tell you my funny pregnant one! I and a dream my husband was cheating (no, I've never ever had a worry about this). I got his phone and she was calling him, and I saw her face. I was so enraged, and still angry when I woke up, so I went to go find his cheating a** and yell at him. I was recalling that I saw her face and he saved her name at "Monday-Tuesday"....and we both howled with laughter! 🀣🀣🀣 To this day we joke about him hitting up Mon-Tues on his way home from work. 🀣

πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… Too funny!

Maybe you are intuitive that way.Some people seem to be able to dream things that actually happen or are very sensitive to places people, things, etc..

and since it's close to Halloween.My friend told me that her daughter sees dead people. (yes, I said it)

This has been going on for years. Sometimes she'd be out with her mom and a stranger would approach and tell them that a spirit man was standing there with them.

Another time the daughter went for a walk in the woods in a remote area and was joined by a man who walked and talked with her on her way.

At one point, she looked over to tell him something and he was gone! By gone, I mean gone! Nowhere to be seen or heard.

I haven't been back there since.πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

My friend has since passed away and I really want to have her daughter over for lunch but am wondering if it's rude for me to tell her to leave her "friends"at home.πŸ˜‚

kdaliβ€’ in reply tofalalalala

I have heard of pregnant women having dreams that revealed gender or multiples before. If I do have some sort of untrained powers, I'd like to know who to take it to, and how soon I will have those winning lotto numbers πŸŽ‰

Oh! I love kid weird stuff! I have spent a shameful amount of time watching videos of tots who experienced past lives, or said something bonkers they couldn't know about (like something only a dead family member would have said). Sometimes, like your friend's daughter, they have a friend (dead/spirit/something) and someday they look at old family photos and get excited because their friend is in a picture. 😱 I would be curious about who she can see hanging out at your house! I wonder if she still has those experiences as an adult πŸ€”

falalalala profile image
falalalalaβ€’ in reply tokdali

She does. The walk in the woods was recent. She was in her 20's at that point.

My niece had an imaginary friend as a little girl. I read somewhere that some people think they're talking to a ghost. I have no idea.

It'd become real very fast when they ask to borrow money.😜

I am not sure who to take it to. It's interesting, though.

I've heard some wild stories over the years about near death experiences, UFOs, ghosts and most interesting for me: Bigfoot.They are loud and smell really bad, so I've heardπŸ˜…πŸ˜…

kdali profile image
kdaliβ€’ in reply tofalalalala

Oh yikes, poor girl. She's probably use to it though. I assume the dead are far less terrifying than the living...I hope anyway.

Have you been watching The Why Files?! There's probably a big foot video, but the UFO, creepy sightings/myths, and conspiracy theories are fun! I never knew Freddy Kruger was based on a real story...Moth Man, I think. If not, I highly recommend that channel! Heckle Fish is annoying at first, but occasionally makes me giggle.

falalalala profile image
falalalalaβ€’ in reply tokdali

She's really laid back about it. I don't know how.πŸ˜…

I haven't heard of those shows. I did see a movie about the Mothman, though.

Did he wear shoes with those toenails or just sandals?

Do bigfoot ever get MS?

Do bigfoot get Covid?

I've been going down an internet rabbit-hole watching bigfoot videos - I'd love it to be proven true - it would be the scientific discovery of the century.

I wonder if the bad smell is actually stinkhorn? I case you've never seen one, they are mushrooms with a very suggestive appearance and an absolutely vile smell. It's to fool flies into thinking there's rotten meat around so they come and spread the spores. If bigfoot really smelt of rotten meat surely they'd be permanently surrounded by flies - no wonder they are irritable!

I think imaginary friends are just imaginary.

I realized early on that my old house was haunted, but it was just strange shadows and creepy feelings in certain areas, particularly the bathroom. And then my son was born. After he was potty-trained, he'd sit for long periods in the bathroom just chattering away. We finally asked him about it, because he was normally a very quiet child, and he explained that he talks to The Man in the Bathroom. After he started school and "learned" that ghosts aren't real, the conversations stopped. The same thing happened with my younger daughter.

falalalala profile image
falalalalaβ€’ in reply toNorasMom

That is interesting.

My friend with the daughter I mentioned earlier, used to think her kids were home, walking around upstairs...until they walked in the front door.

The same daughter used to see a man walking around in their yard.

I have a friend who lived in a small town in Alaska.

He and his room mate saw what they at first thought was a bear walking towards the dumpster. It wasn't a bear and it was huge and walked like a human.

They mentioned it to a few locals who said," Oh, you saw the Hairyman."

Oh.πŸ˜…

After he told me that, I went to the library and checked a book out on bigfoot and as I was standing there in the checkout line, the lady behind me said her husband saw one in the middle of the road on his way to work!😜

Alrighty.πŸ˜…

Then I had a man randomly tell me that his family regularly hears and smells them near their cottage.

GreatπŸ˜…

Then. there is my niece who puts on a gorilla suit to scare the h2!! out of me at her mom's bonfires.She comes up behind me out of the woods and roars.

It made me jump but only 25 times.πŸ˜œπŸ˜†

My mother and daughter won't spend the night at my current house because something with human footsteps goes up and down the stairs every night. I've only heard it once -- I was on the back porch and heard someone walking through my kitchen. We do get odors, though. She (I'm assuming) is partial to pot roast and occasionally burnt popcorn, and sometimes you can smell floral perfume on the steps.

falalalala profile image
falalalalaβ€’ in reply toNorasMom

We don't have that kind of thing at my house. We have to travel for that.

My husband and I drove 3 hours away to go to a concert.

We got to the hotel early and jumped in the jacuzzi.

That is when he saw something shadowy go by, got out and saw nothing which he didn't tell me about until later.

When I went to get dressed, my dress was not in the closet where I put it and my large camera bag was not where I left it.

I thought I might have left it on my front porch and my hub was getting ready to drive all the way home when I walked in the bedroom and saw my camera bag and dress on the bed!

It was really weird but not as weird as me being able to sleep there that night.

I chalk that up to not having enough time for it to sink in.

I dream of the me when I was still able to walk normally 😒 like, I had a dream a few months ago where my dog had come back home, and I was going to open the back bedroom door (she liked to sleep at night on the bed in there.) Last night's dream I was a princess, and my husband was a Knight who climbed up the stairs and we ate KFC together before declaring our love for each other πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ and then a few months before that, I saw a woman coming through my back gate. She didn't listen to me when I was swearing and telling her to get the f out of my back garden, and so I chased her out! Woke up feeling amazed at how dream me could run! I even had a dream where I was swimming in a pool, and at the end of my length, I'd done the standard "roll and push off with my legs." That dream was brilliant πŸ’— woke up and needed a wee after that, so I think my brain was telling me something πŸ˜…

This is a really inventive and fantastic post! When I dream I function normally throughout my body and am pleasantly working in a pre-MS condition. Which is no big surprise to me, since I often dream of the past. Of my younger days when my parents were still alive and I lived at home and helped my dad outside. Or of the days when the children were small and we went riding every other weekend and visited horse camps all over the region. To do such activity, I had to be whole to be able to keep up and help out where needed. I believe it is such dreams and memories that keep me going today. Fancy59.

I dream every night. And the strangest thing is that if I wake up in the middle of a dream, I will think about it, go back to sleep and finish the dream. I have had a few dreams where I have known that someone has died. For example, the day before Queen Elizabeth died, I told my friend that I thought she had passed away. But instead she died a few hours later. That has happened about 4 or 5 times with different types of people, some famous, some just regular people. Very weird. Plus I talk in my sleep a lot! My ex-husband used to have conversations with me while I was sleeping. He said I was always very goofy! I’m sure I was πŸ˜‚πŸ€£
