Has anyone ever blacked out in their dreams?

Wow, this is a new one on me. But the more I think about it, the less I'm surprised that this thing happened.

The dream world is vastly richer than the physical world. If anything it does not have any boundaries in all dimensional aspects. I have been drunk, stoned, tired, ecstatic, enlghtened in many of my dreams, so having a black-out in a dream isn't so unusual I suppose.

I agree with SplitInfinity - these experieces you've had sound more like lucid dreams - not your regular passive dream.

Thanks for Sharing - S&F

Yes it would make sense if I had been drinking in either of the dreams but I wasn't it was just seemingly random blackout of moments I would rather have remembered. Even though I was dreaming it would have been a good time I'm sure lol

This probably doesn't help much but I've had a few dreams on different occasions where I struggle to see. Like I can't keep my eyes open as I move about or experience waves of blindness and blackness. It isn't exactly like "blacking out" but that I'd have to navigate around in the dream while blind or unable to see clearly.

It was almost like dreaming that I was blind. Very weird to say the least.

That's crazy! Also a little scary! Thanks for sharing!

Yes this has happened to me and it is a very weird sensation. Lately, when it happens there is a complete change of scenery and context when I wake up from the blackout in the dream. There is sort of like a flash from a camera and then everything goes black for a few seconds in between each change. Sometimes I know I am dreaming and this makes it even weirder.

There wasn't any changes in that way just that the dream moved on and I couldn't remember what had happened. Like in the second dream I came to still standing in the crowd but the show was over and I walked out with the line of people and ended up at my house trying to figure out why I couldn't remember any of the concerts.

But yes it is a very weird sensation.

This will probably sound a bit strange but I remember having a dream where I was dreaming in the dream.

I was able to control the dream but not the dream I was dreaming

If that makes sense.

If you have had it happen you would understand I think.

Just a thought maybe a blackout could be associated for you with the this band or it music. It is more typical for me to not remember my dreams at all

I start meditating a lot in dreams. Its wierd, IT instantly brings me into a state of deeeeeeeeep mediation. Its insanely spiritual and i dont know why it happens but it does once in a while. I don't even meditate anymore.

Yes! I have had this happen many times! I have also woken up into many other dreams trying to wake myself up but every time it would be another dream until I woke up for real.

I don't know, the band is called The Wanted. I'm a bit of a fan girl for them so maybe it's like I love them so much that when I dream about them I black out the good parts because I want to see them so much?? It seems like something that would happen to me hahaha better that than something medically wrong.

Thank you for the reply, I enjoyed reading it.

I did not have any alcohol to drink before I had these dreams so that's not it. I am worried it is a medical issue though. I really hope not.

I am totally for meditation and even thought about meditating to try and recall the blacked out parts of those dreams.I have not, but will probably do that when I have the proper time.

I am glad you enjoyed it. One thing...and this is from experience of observation. You talked in your reply of hoping it is not a medical issue. The Subconscious Mind has a way to communicate with your conscious self so ....GO GET CHECKED OUT!

It may be nothing but...my internal alarm is ringing. So just on that...make an appointment. GOOD LUCK!

Its pretty intense and the affects are immediate. Everytime it happens i go into this place where the world is not a world anymore and everything is expressed through direct symbolism, although still hard to interpret.

I dreamt I was staring at my stomach and my skin started melting away. My organs fell out everywhere and everything went black. I think I may have died. I of course woke up.

Another dream had me miles in the sky riding a roller coaster. I fell and fell like a stone to the ground where I assumed I met my end because I felt it and everything went black.

Another had me beaten to death by apes. Another had me and my family murdered.

I have never blacked out.
