However, there are some circumstances, in which my daydreams get a "spin".

Usually it happens when I am riding on a bus/ train or in a car (to the point that when something moves and I am a passenger, I fall in a half-trance. lol).

That is the thing though, even though I am awake, I am not. Sort of a different state of consciousness, which is not sleep/ dream,b ut also not awake either.
Also, in the morning or at night, I seem to be able to linger longer around the threshold to falling asleep than most people; sort of in a kind of "limbo".
I thought it was normal, until I mentioned it to my brother.

However, when I am in these "half-meditative" state of mind (on the bus or somewhere), and I am having daydreams, these often get an unexpected spin. Sometimes so surprising, that it jolts me completely awake again.

Anyway I just wanted to ask if you day dream, do you get sometimes surprised by how situations develop in your daydreams?

(I always thought WE conrol our daydreams and direct them, but then I would not get surprised, would I?)

You are talking about the hypnogogic state, that place between asleep and awake. Lots of strange and curious things can happen there! This state of consciousness can be a wonderful springboard into the truly Astral Realms via the OBE.

Yes, hypagnogic state. Makes sense. And yes about crazy things happening there.
Well in my case it is simply about meeting one particular person (no matter what I had been seeing, reading,t hinking before going to bed).
Since this has been going for several weeks now, I got pensive about it.

Anno-lucis,
yes I know what you mean.

But this state I was describing was more or less like a "gliding scale" into consciousness, though I know these jolts very well. Like you are being slumped down into your own body.

Funnily my Dad asked us today (at family dinner) if we ever dreamed of flying (I had mentioned something about the Essenes, and it apparently triggered a memory in him, and he never recalls any dream, but apparently he had dreamed he was flying across the sea Genezareth - and he is not even very religious!).

My mom mentioned that though she does not recall flying-dreams, she recalls several startling dreams, in which she was facing herself lying far below her in bed.

my dad's more open minded generally, but i think his overall outlook is that there is nothing beyond this physical life (he is triple earth)

I also take a long time in that "limbo" state before sleep! I orchastrated a whole world in that limbo state once and thought I'd write a short book about it (of course I never finished..ha)

neither do mine. i used to try and convince my mum by trying to contact her while out of body, usually she would just report some spooky happening in the night lol. bit of a waste of resources as she's still not convinced.

I don`t try to convince my parents. I sort o think everyone has to find their own way.

I relate to everything you're saying!!! I bus everywhere and am otherwise a passenger in a car so yes I day dream often and can be suprised by what it comes up with! I would also agree its like another state of consciousness.

But u love the topic. I'm curious what kind of things suprised you when you day dream?

As for the question, well, I can`t really go into detail, but these daydreams seemed to imply that I might have a deeper attraction to someone as I originally thought.
I guess slowly it is time to put up the white flag and surrender.
