Hello. I am sort of new to the forum. I always had night terrors as a child and that is when I realized or tuned in to my lucid potential. I decided I would change my dream in my favor so the outcome would be different. I could cast characters, change plots, and a lot of sexual dreams in my teens were like my own movies where I was the star and always ended in my favor !! LOL.. I felt I was wierd or slightly touched in the head until I found out (recently) this is a semi-common thing and it is a real thing . Monsters that were going to kill me ,I changed them into puppets or baby animals just by merely recognizing it was a dream and commanded control. However, I always had this fear of bridges. I think it was originally a fear response set in by my very loving father who thought it was funny to act like we were going to drive off the side of a very large bridge. (Burlington-Bristol bridge , for example which connected Pa. to Jersey. ) Anyway, in my dream, I would always crash a car or fall off of the bridge while trying to cross. Most of the time I would drown . Sometimes I would wake before death but I always felt jaded and frightened when I woke. As I grew older and realized the bridges were really ok, I stopped having the bridge dream. (Also,I havent been able to be lucid or control anything in my dreams anymore...very rare now if that happens)
Lately , the dreams have come back. They are scary and I am always afraid to cross. I always go back or stay paralyzed in my car as I decide I can't go through with it.
Coincidentally, I have always felt that I never follow through with things that I start in life. I always wondered if the bridge dream could be related to that. I mean you have too cross that bridge to get to where you need to be in life. I am gung ho about starting a new class or project , but my follow through is terrible.
Any suggestions are very welcomed here !!! Thanks for listening !!
