Shred in your sleep?

Post by Senor Grommet »

About 3-4 times a week, I fall asleep in my girlfriend's bed. About half of those nights, I suddenly awaken both her and myself. My heart is beating fast. She looks at me and then asks me, were you shredding again? I answer yes. "What did you hit?" she asks. I reply. "Nice," she says. Then we go back to sleep.
Do any of you bust mad shred in your sleep? It usually happens to me when I attempt to fall asleep by combining move elements and trying to make up new moves.

How about you?

I had a footbag related dream last night. the_lost, bono, and myself were in chicago, or an urban area, and bono and I were suppose to put our lugage into his car, but the_lost decided to drive off. So we chased him around for a while with our lugage until we came to a bridge. For some reason bono fell off but grabbed onto a cement slab sticking out over the side. He soon fell 50 feet onto the highway below. I looked up, then down again and saw a blood trail going off to the left, where I guess bono crawled off to avoid traffic.

i TOTALLY dreamed about footbag last night. unfortunatelly it was one of those where i couldn't hit ANYTHING. i think i was trying to impress a girl or something and then i messed up the set and the bag went flying...again and again and again. then she said "well i could do that". and i wanted to punch her. good thing it was a dream.

About Lucid dreams. Check it out on the net. supposedly you can tran yourself to lucid dream every night. You could theoretically be awake 24 hours a day... kindof.

I can't remember how it works, but there are 4 levels of sleep. Most dreams (not all) occur during REM sleep, the dreams that are lucid occur during stage 1 or 2 I think, near the waking hours. That's why you can control them, you're near waking and aren't in such an altered state of conciousness that you have some control over your thought patterns.

Thats right. Whenever i wake up in the morning, but don't want to get up, i have lucid dreams because i'm not totally asleet, just trying to get to sleep. I just had one last night.

I was at school. there were tons of new people i've never seen before. I got on a bus with 3 other hot girls. One of them had their luggage piled betweem the seats. I thought her bag was on a board with wheels, but the bag itself had wheels. They joked about me or something and i threw her bags down.Then i noticed that outside, there was an electric fence. I could see the electricity flowing off the fence. I somehow jumped out of the bus window over the fence, though i forgot how i got over the fence. I had to think about it for a minute. then i realized that i had no way to get back over the fence. I followed it down and saw a fence i could get over that didn't glow. but it was metal, and it was touching the electric fence. I went close to the fence and shocked myself. Then i folowed it down and found a big hole cut into a fence leading into a park. the park had showers, and bathrooms. I walked into the park. there was one man on the opposite side of the park. He had a gun. He threw two tennis balls. I realized the tennis balls were children. He shot one of the tennis balls. I knew he would want no bystanders while he commited his crime, so i ran. I looked back, saw him aiming at me. I ducked behind a bush and kept running. Then all of a sudden, i had rollerblades and i could go super fast. i was also at the house that i used to live in. I went down the street in my fast rollerblades and into an apartment complex. I hid from him there. He drove by slowly in his car, and saw me, i kept going through the big apartment complex's parking lots and jumped into a bunch of shrubs by the road. The only way to hide from him was to cover myself in bark mulch. At first there was plenty of bark mulch and i could do it easily, but then it seemed like the bark mulch was disappearing and i had hardly any to cover myself in. Then i thought to myself. He can't hurt me. Its a dream.

I had a dream last night that I was at school and I was getting my classes for next year. And I realized that Ellis Piltz was one of my teachers. I don't remember what class. And I was telling everybody about how he was a professional footbag player and how cool he was. And I can remember thinking about how now we'd have a footbag club at school because he could be the moderator and I'd pretty much have Ellis Piltz personally teaching me...and how sweet it would be. And then when I woke up, after about a half hour of being awake, I realized with great disappointment that it was only a dream. That would be sweet though if Ellis Piltz was a teacher at my school.

i only had two footbag related dreams yet:

in the first one, i found myself walking down some kind of mall. i went into a shoe store and then i found a pair of millenium lavers II (drool...).

tonight i dreamed, that i was at a huge competition (worlds? euros? dunno).
i was in the biggest gym i ever saw. it actually looked like a big skate park, with all its slopes, pipe and kickers. and there were lots of footbag players, who jumped over obstacles like allan. i remember linosphere saying something about how unbeleivably(sp?) sick the whole thing was. then i woke up...

I do this all the freaking time. The abosolute worse time though was at worlds.

It was the first competition I had been to and I was going out of my mind, shredding all day everyday and waking up sorer then I'd ever been in my life. Monday night, after the first day at moscone rec where all the big shred was going on on the tennis warm up area thing and the first night of big shred in the hotel, it was my turn to sleep in the bed (there were 3 of us and we were switching 2 on the bed, 1 on the pull out) and Mike Taber had the other half of the bed. Well, sometime throughout the nite, I was shredding hard and somehow ended up upside down, repeatedly kicking Mike in the side and supposedly laughing my ass off about it. He beat the crap out of me as much as possible without waking me up and a half hour later I woke up, went to the bathroom, and got yelled at horribly and told we were leaving Wednesday after the freestyle, Mike flaming pissed, and me almost to the point of tears, but watching our other roommate laugh his ass off at us(but at the end of the trip after the big drunk party in the shred room after the finals, he was so drunk and stoned he peed on the door of the small hotel we were staying at for the last night, so he got his), I was half laughing, half crying and the rest of the night was spent with me huddleing on the edge of the bed, cold an unable to sleep, trying not to kick Mike. He was pissed at me for the next 3 days until he realized I was ASLEEP and after me scratching from intermediate freestyle, he didn't like me for the next month and the only things he told to people about me was that I was a wuss and a dick for kicking him, which he complained about a bruise from for 2 months, he even decided he didn't want to kick 1000 with me. But now I'm one of his favorite people in his life and we did kick over 1000, 2276 in fact when it all blew over, so its all good.

You think I should put this story on the club website?

This has nothing to do with footbag but Any you ever had a dream that you remembered like it was real life, infact remembered it better than you would something in real life? Thats freaking nuts when that happens

I had this dream about an AM train
don't ask what the hell it is cause i don't know, and anyway there was this chick singing about the AM train, and I can remember almost every word and the melody and everything...

ITs freaking freaky!
