Hi All,
I am new to this site but I believe I have been having lucid dreams on a fairly regular basis (one a week) for sometime now.
I will explain the dreams I have and the feelings I have during them in the hope that somebody can categorize what is happening to me and maybe help me gain a higher and longer lasting level of control so here goes
I have found that if I fall asleep on my side in a praying position with my back exposed that once I have drifted off to sleep, somewhere early in the dream, I become aware that I am dreaming. To test this I will jump from somewhere high and can either stop myself from falling so fast or, to some extent, I can fly but in a kind of uncontrolled way as if something is pulling me. once I land I can control my movements but I have no control over the environment and I often have a feeling that something very dark and sinister is about to happen and it sometimes does which is extremely frightening I would like help in stopping this from happening, I also sometimes feel that I have stopped breathing and I am not sure if this is in the dream or if I do actually stop breathing which is very worrying!!
when trying to control things in the dream I am constantly getting a kind of pulling feeling as if its a struggle and I could lose it at any moment, so any tips on having a greater level of control would be much appreciated.
To finish off, the last dream I had I came across a Mirror about 2ft high by 3ft wide in which I could clearly see my reflection but it wasn't responding to my movements and just staring out at me, I felt a little bit scared but after looking at it for a while I decided to put my head through the mirror as soon as I did this I felt a feeling of dread and heard an evil laugh my head was stuck and it was darkness all around me eventually I pulled my head from the mirror but then there was no reflection I felt as if it was a warning not to do this! are there any situations in my dreams that can have a detrimental effect on my mental well being as this was quite worrying I almost felt that I would be stuck there for good!
I Know this is a long post but I hope somebody can help, please leave a comment no matter how small it seems im interested in getting in touch with others that have these dreams as I don't know anybody else that has them thank you guys I hope to here from you
