Thread: Met Myself

Seems like a very emotional and helpful dream to me, saying that you love your other self might be one step forward towards ending your confidence issues.
Although this reminds me of a nightmare, probably the worst I've ever had. I was but a child, probably 5 or 6 years old, hm. Well doesn't matter, anyway.
Good luck with your research and your lucid dreams.

Thank you. I'd really like to hear about your nightmare though. I understand if you don't feel like describing it.

If you insist.
The whole setting of the nightmare was some kind of dark garden, a macabre version of those castle ones, forming a giant labyrinth full of plants.
I was the killer, a vampire from what I could understand from the dream, I was seeing through his eyes, smelling through his nose and feeling throughout his whole being, and it was one of the most vivid dreams I've ever had, although I don't quite think I had non-vivid dreams.
I sensed the heartbeats and the fear from each one of my friends trapped in the maze, I was hungry for their life, their blood. So, I decided to turn the already creepy garden into a slaughterhouse, stalking the ones that lagged behind the group, and silently killing them, while savoring their blood. Might I add now, it tasted like nothing I've ever tasted until now, so exhilarating and delicious.
And I chased, and I killed them, one by one, in the most brutal ways his warped mind could imagine, and I enjoyed every single moment of it. ( I will add this now, but one of my friends inside this dream, we weren't friends. Yet. In fact, I would only meet him, I think, 4 or 6 years in the future.)
Finally, I was the only one left, so I pursued myself, my other body. Eventually I found it, and I stared down at my scared eyes, and, suddenly, I was myself again, staring at his huge and terrifying form. Just as he lunged forward to kill me, too, the nightmare was over, and I was in my bed, sweating and panting.
That's it, hm.

That's intense. And you were a child. I thought I had crazy dreams when I was a kid. Wow. That is a nightmare, sorry, that must've frightened you. It seems to me you've probably learned a lot from your dreams then. I always had recurring dreams about witches for some reason. I never had a lucid dream that I can remember from childhood anyway, but I can remember a lot of disturbing dreams I've had. And I dream every night, not always vividly, but I always remember a dream from the night before. Thanks for sharing that with me. I need to try things like that. I'm sure it was terrifying, but if you knew it was a dream, wow, the possibilities with your mind.

That's the problem, I don't think I've ever had control inside a Dream. Thinking carefully, I don't remember a lucid dream at all. As I said, they're always realistic, and even though the setting may be ridiculous, it manages to feel real. Now, in childish nightmares, I remember lots of them, the more memorable ones. One might not believe they came from inside an infant's mind, but, there. On Recurring dreams, I don't think I've had those, too. About terrified, don't worry, as a child I was used to having nightmares like this one. I did learn lots of things from dreams, though. How to face my own phobias was one of the things only my dreams could teach me.
Hope you had better luck in the fields of Lucid Dreaming than me, hm. Good luck with your problems, too.

Thanks. Good luck with your attaining lucidity.
