Dream Control question

[yelizaveta]

Hi guys. Often when I have dreams in the morning and can sleep in with no alarm, i.e I will have these sort of half awake dreams, my mind is in the dream and i'm following the action like a story but I am also aware that i am in bed, I can feel both my real body in bed and still somehow be experiencing the dream. These are not daydreams, they are in some sense involuntary. I have little control over the events happening, and subconscious knowledge that I am dreaming. It's hard to describe. Thing is, if someone comes in or the phone rings, etc, I can go right back into the dream if i stay in bed and can get back to it quickly. In that sense I control it, but i never have any desire to change things in it or try to become lucid in that sense. Are these technically lucid dreams? or even dreams at all? And does the fact that i can 'turn the dream back on' mean I can control it if i remember to try? Does anyone have this experience?

I have this every morning. If you have time you can go straight into a WILD from this, but don't WILD your way into being late for work.

*nod* when I have the chance to sleep in (which is a rare occasion) this will happen to me. it's actually one of my favorite experiences to experiment with. one of my favorites is to lay there and have my eyes closed until I hear something that I know is not really there, either some sort of music or sound, and then look to the left and right quickly (with eyes closed) for me this will usually kick start some sort of half dream half weirdness experience. i have not clue what it is or if there is a term for it though.

Ahh this is what i had yesterday! I felt myself sitting up looking around, but at the same time i felt myself lying in bed. But i opened my eyes and was awake. I was THIS close to a WILD, ahhh i almost had it.

I've recently had that, I had a 1/2 a second dream that I was sitting at a train station then I imagined myself back in the dream and then the train pulled up! and I was like wtf?, I didn't do that I was THIS close to a WILD, ahhh i almost had it. BTW, that expression dosent really work unless you have some sort of spacial signifier to show exactly how close you were

I opened my eyes because i thought i was WILD, but apparently i did it a couple seconds too soon.

Once when I was trying to sleep in the car, I suddenly heard my mom calling me [this came from RL] and I suddenly realized that I didn't feel my sleeping body anymore, and I was sitting in the car and looking at a map. I was like 'wtf' but it ended shortly after and i resumed to staring at the inside of my eyelids...

Your not an insomniac, can sleep in late, and can get up and go strait back to a lucid dream? Doesn't see how you can do that... ...LUCKY!
