Thread: Pseudo-Lucid Dreams

Last night I had a dream - a sort of dream I find I have a lot - but I don't really know what to do with, or where to go with next. It's somewhere between the typical disconnected dream-state and waking awareness.

In this dream I was not aware I was in a dream so-to-speak - I never once stopped to think about the absurdity of everything, or realized I was dreaming, but I was consciously in control almost the entire time. I was flying, exploring - I would see something and want to get there, or think of something that I wanted to do it, and it would happen, but none of it struck me as unusual - it was completely natural to me in this state to be able to willfully control the world.

Also, I find my dream world, which is kind of an abstraction of the waking one, is nearly completely consistent. Everything always looks the same, and once I dream about experiencing a place for the first time, I will always be able to get there again, and it will always be the same. It strikes me as odd.

The dream ended with me flying home, and when I woke up, I could still vividly remember the feeling of flying, and it really took me a few moments to realize I couldn't do it anymore.

I have these often now, but rarely/never lucid dreams. These days I dream every night, but I didn't used to remember my dreams very often when I was younger.
