Lucid Dreaming

[SassySnivy]

I dunno if you could consider them lucid, but in some of my dreams I become aware of what's happening and if I try hard enough, I can turn back time if I messed something up.

My dreams, though, are very, VERY vivid and I can remember most of them very well. I also get my people mixed up in dreams sometimes, too. I recognize someone as a certain person even though they look just like a different person I know.

I love reading about everyone's experiences here! I'm skeptical about astral projection, though. Chances are that that just happens to be something you're just dreaming about, rather than some supernatural occurence

I quite often realise I'm dreaming in my dreams, but it is a struggle to keep myself asleep once I've worked it out. I have a few times managed to control it, with awesome results. I was about to be mauled by Resident Evil zombie dogs once... and then a magicked a lightsaber into my hand :D

A little off topic, when I was younger, I once had a dream about flying bears attacking a house I was in with my next door neighbour at the time. The next day, I was telling her about it, and she started describing things about a dream she had had the same night that were very similar to things in my dream that I had yet to mention.

The scientist in me tells me that it was just one massive coincidence, and that although our dreams may have been similar they were in no way identical.

But it was freakin' weird...

I've had lucid dreams since I was a kid. I didn't even know what to call them back then; no one had ever told me they had a name. I got the idea into my head that maybe I could use it to control things and started practicing that, which mostly involved summoning creatures I created (or turning into one) to beat the crap out of stuff in nightmares that scared me. I actually started to look forward to nightmares because of this. It wasn't until years later that I actually heard of what this sort of thing was.

I've tried lucid dreaming and haven't had too much success. There were a few times when I was aware I was dreaming, but my ability to control things and affect the world around me was only very limited. It's disappointing, because dang, if only I could master it, it would be the most epic RPG to look forward to every night. XD

My lucid dreams only happen when it is a nightmare involving me dying in some horrific way.

I know it's a dream, I know I'm going to die, and I know HOW I am going to die, and there's not a dang thing I can do about it. Or I'm just resigned to it. I have no idea why my head is so screwed up with my dreams XD Whenever I realize it's a dream, I always lose my powers.

Like, one was where I could fly by bouncing enough, but once I realized it was a dream I couldn't fly again D:

If I remember correctly I dream of me dreaming

I lucid dreamed (or was it dreamt?) only once. I gave everyone wings XD Although I'm not sure if that was a lucid dream or I'm dreaming that I'm lucid dreaming.

If I realize I'm dreaming, I just kind of wake up instantly.
