lucid dreaming and grandiosity

[polarisdreamtime]

Hello everyone,I'm a newbie to these forums... It seems all my life I've been a lucid dreamer,and sometimes this has caused me great distress..the facts are I've got total dream recall,.. and don't even journal.In most of my dreams,I am a warrior,a wizard brandishing great powers against my enemies.In real life I don't have this ego,or attitude.Is this a freud thing working itself out?..or am I channeling into the afterlife?My dream self percieves itself as some kind of hero..thats where the grandiosity plays in..do any of you experience the same? --Polaris

What exactly do you mean by 'total dream recall'? How often do you have lucid dreams?

Maybe you need a change of lifestyle? Do you prefer the person you are in your dreams? Become them in real life.

Thanks for your replies..I call it total dream recall,because I remember from start to finish my dreams in great vivid detail,like mini-movies.I usually wake after every dream, and analyze what I've just experienced..And yes maybe I do have unfullfilled desires that come together in the wish-fullfilment of my slumber.I've ventured to many places I could'nt conjure up on my own,therefore they are like alternate worlds. newbie--Polaris D.T.
