      Scribble in the streets, bucket of sand

      Hi all

      new here, have been reading around for a month or two.

      have been experimenting with achieving lucidity. there is alot of great info that has helped me tons, i struggle mostly with becoming aware that i am dreaming..

      it is so weird that i can be flying a helicopter through a shopping mall, only to fight sumo wrestlers at my destination but i somehow think that it is all normal ..

      ive read here that it helps best to make a habit of reality checks, and also training your prospective memory...and either this is extremely difficult for me or im not trying hard enough..dunno.. but my dream recall is amazing, i have anywhere from 1-10 dreams a night..or day...whenver im sleeping.

      i learned later in life that i had been lucid dreaming ever since i was a child, before i knew it was a thing..it became normal, and after a while boring..
      i started experiencing a lot of what was refered to me as hypnogogia - mind awake but body asleep, similar to astral projecting i guess, but its like lucid sleep walking i guess you could say. just hallucinating after waking up, ive heard that my body is paralized when this would happen, but i could get up and walk around fine.. so i dont know..

      although i've not experience ^^^ at all in the past year or two maybe, and with my recent discovery of lucid dreaming (1 - 2 years ago ) on and off i had done more research..

      as a child this was so easy to do to the point where it was normal and actually became boring.
      but as ive grown older the dwindling between the path of the philosopher and spiritualist i find there is a lot to learn from dreams.


      im unsure what i seek within my dreams, whether it may be full control, or just better understanding...

      although i like to sit back watch them play out as they will, and ponder them for the days to come..

      i find that in the moments before falling back to sleep my mind shifts back to the same state as when i was sleeping or recently awoke. i can recall dreams even better and finally by this time after the whole day pondering the previous dreams, i discover at least what could be a feasable meaning..


      i have a theory that the act of dreaming is some kind of subconscious projection of the observations of your waking life, it seems i can always link these
      strange abstract dreams to mean something that i have either already come to conclusion of in waking life, or i have learnt from the dream..

      but when i 'learn' smething from a dream i am slightly skeptical sometimes as to whether i am right or not...

      i have no one to talk to really, no one to be myself to, my insides are frowned upon and misunderstood on the daily, i am surrounded by the type of people i hate to be around... they dont dream, nor do they care for the meaning.

      but there is one person...who i mentioned i had a dream about recently, the dream was of us being in college together, sharing a room.

      when i told her about the dream, she was slightly spooked because she had also had an extremely similar dream about me only a few days prior...
      i don't know what to think about this but we have both agreed to make an effort to trying to connect to one another more intentionally..

      but here is this particular dream, i have a few theories as to the meaning.... but id like to hear what some more outside thoughts if you want to pitch your ideas at me..

      the main idea that we both grasped from the dream was this, We shared a living space (for her it was an apartment) for me it was a college dorm... but we never spoke a word to each other until the day we left that place..

      all well, sorry for the huge post.

      thats all ive got to say for now, feeling like its about to go do the deed of dreams.

      Welcome to the forum!

      You'll find a lot of people around the forum started lucid dreaming as children - some kept up with it, and some didn't. It's typically easier to lucid dream when you're young, but that doesn't mean it's not worth starting later in life.

      Anyway, let us know if you have any more questions, and feel free to stop by the IRC chat.

      Welcome!

      Here you'll definitely find a lot like-minded individuals to discuss dreams and more.

      Personally, I think it's quite difficult to interpret other people's dreams - usually the best person to do that is the dreamer himself. Nevertheless, I would say in cases such as with the dream involving your friend, keep an open mind and be ready to listen to any information the other person has to share. This applies to both you and your friend.
      Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
