At most I've had dreams that felt like 2 days. This may have been because of "time skips", but it in them I do something throughout the day, go home, go to sleep, wake up, and do something throughout the day again. And what I was trying to convey in the last part of the entry is that there is a bit of a difference between knowing that whatever is going on isn't actually happening, and knowing that you're dreaming. The word "dream" literally didn't enter my head until I had woken up. As for my recall, I have off days, but almost all the time when I think I have forgotten what my dream was, a trigger happens and the memories rush back to me. The best recall I've ever had was my first post in my DJ, it was literally start to finish. It only became like this after I joined dream views. At one point I even saw it as burdensome. Now I just learn to enjoy it.

When you are questioning things in a dream it is a good sign you are gaining awareness. I am a little confused, was the dream over when you realized or was it just almost over when you realized it was a dream?

I just read your intro to your DJ. You remember almost all of your dreams??? That is awesome. I remember about half right now, close to all of them on nights I get lucid. I love having good recall, because when I go to sleep, I literally have hours of fun before I have to get up. For the majority of people, the night feels like 2 seconds and then they have to go to work.

Have you had a lot of dreams that seem like weeks?

Rather than trying to brute-force some kind of cataclysmic change (and likely destabilize your dream or initiate unintended consequences), you simply accept the dream as it is and flow with it, gently nudging it onto the trajectory that you want. Flowing like water -- that's the way to do it!

The hardest part is building the self-awareness to react without panic and come up with a good subtle plan to exercise this kind of dream jiu-jitsu. This is easier in some dreams than others, but it's a challenge I know that I continue to face. Great work!

Wow thanks. But once again, I kind of just acted out of some unfound instinct. I thought, this situation is bad, let's change it, and then out of nowhere thought to make it a movie set. I could never come up with it while awake, but dream me seems to be ahead of the curve.

Wow, glad to know my advice actually helped someone

This is a really good idea. About 80% of my dreams have this theme. Either a zombie apocalypse, or being hunted down by organizations, things that involve a whole world, rather than just 1 person. Such as last night, I was locked in prison with Hitler, and we were enemies. We both escaped, and he sent an army to hunt me down, so I was constantly trying to escape. So pretending it is a film set it pretty good. I'm kinda inexperienced at LDing, so I can't control whole worlds yet either. I'll try this next time I'm in a LD, thanks
