need some help..

[C911]

The real reason i want to get to lucid dreaming is to find out a question that has been haunting me for years... Before i get too far into lucid dreaming, i wanted to know if the mind can answer questions like this in lucid dreaming, or if there is some time of other psychic thing i should try to obtain this. I read somewhere that lucid dreaming helps with questions, but i just want to be sure. My question is: (before i state it, i know everybody at one time has this feeling... well i think so atleast... and its kinda weird. so please no flaming or anything, i dont want to start crying hahaha) I am 16 and i live in a little town of Wyoming. Along time ago, when i was about 6 or 7, i got this feeling for the first time. It was a feeling that, i wasnt supposed to belong where i was, and that what i was doing, wasnt what i should be doing. of course, i was only 6 so i didnt know what the feeling meant until about 6 years later when i got the same feeling back again (and had recognized it) The feeling, i will describe. Its the feeling of wanting something, but then not wanting anything. When i get this feeling, its like im supposed to do something, and im not supposed to be here, in my bedroom or wherever the heck i am. Its like, im supposed to be doing something great, but i dont know what it is. the feeling commonly makes me sick, and i start to get really antsy and try to figure out everything. I found that i get this feeling more when there is a dark thunderstorm, but now more then ever, i have been getting this feeling ALOT, even when it is a nice sun shine day. My question is, What the heck am i feeling? and why? am i supposed to be doing something else? or am i supposed to be staying here, doing nothing about it? the main feeling i want to know tho, is what the feeling just means. like what it realy makes my body want to do. i guess im confused (hence the name) and i want to get answers. So i kinda got de-railed with my blabbering, but do you think that Lucid Dreaming would help me to find the meaning of this? If not, then what would help? If this isnt the place to ask, then im sorry and you can delete my post. i just want answers, and im very troubled over them, and i just want to get a way to find the answers i want. Some other things that could help in deciding are.. im sure alot of people get this, but i have the numbers " 9 " and "11" appear to me alot. more then any other number, or any other object that is. and they are never together, as 911, so i know its nothing to do with the 911 attacks. and also, i have no family members (that i know of) that died in the 911 attacks. so i dont think it has to deal with that. i can go into alot more detail about myself, but i dont think this is the right forum to do so. im just asking, is Lucid Dreaming a way to figure out my questions? thanks everyone who even cares to read my post ^^ i was told to post this here, does anyone have some insight on what the heck is going on?

Hi Confused_911, welcome to the forum. First try to relax and accept your situation. If you'll be stressed about it, it will just confuse and misguide you. You should wait patiently until you know what you really want to do. Be confident that it will become clearer over time. Just be patient, and open your mind, read a lot, talk to people with different beliefs, philosophies, backgrounds. I think that Lucid dreaming can help you, as well as meditation. Just accept that you have this feeling, don't try to fight or reject it, and also don't obsess over it: don't have attachment towards it, because it may go away and you should be ready to accept that. Also don't try to ignore it. Just accept that you have it, and try to broaden your horizons in different ways, and eventually ( might take years ) things may become a lot clearer.

Lucid dreaming is a good way of exploring different possibilities. I think even keeping a dream journal would be of use to you. That way you could look for clues in your dreams and see what your subconscious is trying to tell you.

Welcome, Confused! Let me just reassure you that I, too, get that restless feeling often. Sometimes things trigger it, like music, or something especially beautiful, or dark, melancholy weather. It's like a deep longing of the soul, right? So deep that your body doesn't know what to do with it, and leaves you feeling confused and helpless... I often just feel like fighting something. Anyway, lucid dreaming can be a good way to help you understand your subconscious more. It might be tricky at first, but perseverance pays off! Also, don't expect too much from lucid dreaming. Some mysteries can't be understood, I think. I don't have any suggestions or thoughts on your seeing numbers. I see words in my mind a lot, instead of pictures, but I'm not sure if that is along the same lines of what you're experiencing. If you have any more questions or just want to talk, I'm reachable by PM. I hope this helps, and best wishes in your searches!

I think you would be very interested in Astral Projection, Confused. You can read about it here.

Thanks guys for all of the posts on my subject. i have been asking in many places, and i have been finding out new things, but most of them just bring more questions. cusp, that is what i was thinking too, i have started one actually dallian- have you ever figured out what the feeling is?!?! it bugs me so much, and even thinking about it now gives me the same feeling. i cant get away from it. although, i dont know if i want to. and mine doesnt make me want to fight persay, but more to get out and do something, just i dont know what to do hah and wer, thank you, i will look into that
