Almost always in dreams I realize I am dreaming. I do communicate that to DC's, but like a few other posts I have read, am not able to control them or the environment. Is this a common occurrence with people? and what exactly does it mean, if anything.

I use this partial lucidity to observe my surroundings. I say a lot in these dreams " Oh it's just a dream ", "( To someone) This is just a dream ", " Oh! I have got to remember this when I wake up! " or, " HEY! WAKE UP!! ". It almost seems as if my brain is in standby mode, overseeing the dream.

I have a lot of reoccurring dreams too. I am very quick to notice them, and what took place, and more often than not, I go a different route.

I believe dreams to have a wealth of information pertaining to your life, and I sometimes struggle to see what they are. I don't know how this partial lucidity in my dreams is supposed to play out, but I know I will know it when I need to.

If anyone knows more clearly the role this partial lucidity plays in dreams, kindly share it with me. I am very open minded and I consider all possibilities. So share as you wish, anything you deem relevant.

Sweet dreams to all
