Hello! This is my first post here! I joined this dream forum to ask a question.

I've always had the ''mental freedom'' to be able to fly at will when I am dreaming. When I find myself in a nightmare, or in a place I don't like in a dream, I can simply make myself float through the walls and fly out into the sky, as fast or slow as I want.

This is all good, but it seems like I can only go a specific distance when I am flying. For instance, when I am dreaming and I fly up into the night sky, I keep going higher and higher until the sky turns into a ''wall'' that I can touch, but can't push through. I can look down and see the layout of my dream (which is often times surprisingly very intricate), but I cant go up any further. Why is this? Why won't my mind allow me to go past the sky, out into space? It is very frustrating because this happens every time I fly in my dream and I want to see whats out there!


Ok this is my 2nd question.

I have heard that the places you see in your dreams are places that your mind creates, and mixtures of places you have seen before.

If that is true, how on earth am I dreaming up such strange places I have never seen before? How are the places in my dreams so detailed and intricate? I don't think I have the mental capability to even think up such places I see in my dreams.. so I don't think its true.
