I've had quite a few lucid dreams - I've never tried to have one, I just get them sometimes. So when I'm in one I find it hard to get the imagination as to what to do with it.
So I've started to concentrate on the fact I know this is a dream and how my brain might be working.

First thought I had was - 'Does this place look and feel real' - and it does. I can feel the sun and smell the grass, feel the wind.

I stare at people’s faces - their skin is bad and they're usually ugly and all look similar. I’ve never met them before. How can the brain construct this?

If I touch or hold someone, I can feel the warmth of them and the pressure.

The most interesting thing I’ve found is that if you really try to listen to people talk - its utter nonsense. At first they make sense – but if you really listen – you end up actually listening to your brain! I sometimes feel a little skitzo.

I was taking citalopram a couple of months ago (a seratonin reuptake inhibitor) and that made me hear voices while I was awake - in sleep paralysis. If you don't really listen, you hear complete sentences that seem to make sense. But if you really try to listen it falls apart and you get 'television is bouncing on the keyboard...' or something similar. While I was taking this medication, I also felt someone get into bed with me, hold me tight and whisper in my ear for a few minutes. But thats another story.

Didn't know if anyone else had thought about lucid dreaming in this way?
