I have been able to recall my dreams with astounding detail, each day I remember more and more about the dreams I have had, I started just a few days ago after finding this website.

Now that my dream recall is very functional, I remember that whilst I dream I am seeing everything with full clarity.

My problem lies with becoming conscious in my dreams, the thing is I have this sort of "bystander" consciousness, I am thinking about things while I am dreaming, but I cannot readily influence the dream, or my actions in the dream.

It is as if I am just watching the dream, experiencing it yes, and viewing it through my own two eyes, but not able to influence it at all.

I wonder if this is how everyone feels when they are dreaming, but not conscious?

I am still trying to do key things that might help me be able to shout "This is a Dream!!!!" and take over this host of a body.
