Lucid Dreaming Everyday

[Pandafox]

A year ago, I was told that most people did not know that they were dreaming, nor did most people ever had full control of their dreams. I have been lucid dreaming for many years now (I am 20). I think I have had them when I was a child too. I basically lucid dream every night. Sometimes I have these nightmares in where I cannot control anything. Usually they are these weird drug dreams where I take an unknown substance and everything starts contorting and becoming distorted. I know I am dreaming but I just have no control over them. I don't have full control over my regular dreams though. Sometimes I can do anything I want and sometimes there are limitations and boundaries I cannot cross. In one dream, I decided to ignore the dream scenario and went off exploring. When I reached this forest, there was this invisible wall blocking me from going further. No matter how hard I tried (guns, bombs, powers) I could not get through. It felt like my brain was creating a blockade and was not allowing me past this area. Sometimes I cannot use certain powers (flying, super powers), but usually I can do anything. It is weird that most people do not have full control over their dreams, because I always thought that what I had was normal. When I enter my dream, I am fully aware that I am dreaming and I usually end up manipulating what will happen and any characters that generate in that dream. I have a control room. It is this giant room with many controls and screens where I sit and control sometimes. What is weird is that I have a dream Me. We sometimes meet in the control room and sometimes either her or me are in the dream. If she is in the dream, my dream is in the third perspective. If I am in the dream, I am looking at it through first perspective. What is weird is that we communicate with one another. If she is in the dream, I am in the control room, watching what is happening or altering things. She usually starts messing around and redecorating the room. Sometimes, my dreams consist of me and her in the control room having battles of what the dreams will be today or who will be in them. We talk sometimes. It feels like I am talking to myself. She is rather mean though. She looks exactly like me except she always modifies her appearance (hair and clothes). I have told people this before and they look at me like I am crazy. Maybe I am, because who else is in a dream where you are fully aware and talking to your dream person. I am summarizing this, because it will be too long if I continue. Also, when I am dreaming, I usually allow my dreams to unravel by themselves because I am too lazy to control them. Sometimes, for example, when I was walking outside and saw a nuclear weapon flying at me, I started to curse at dream ME, and made myself wake up. I usually just wave my arms or snap my fingers and the annoyances disappear or change. As much as lucid dreaming (in the sense of having control) seems interesting, I rather let my mind/dream ME do the work. If I have control, it's the same thing as me closing my eyes and thinking up stories in my head. I rather have it be surprising unless I hate the dream. The main focus in writing here was to know if anyone else has a dream person that they talk to. When you dream, is it just you or is there a dream you and a real you in there, similar to my circumstance? And I always wondered who she was. It is me, in dream form, but what I am doing there along with her? I think she is my consciousness (completely butchered that word). Well, if anything, I guess someone will be entertained by my crazy dreaming.

Welcome to DreamViews! That is some interesting stuff right there and I'm glad you shared it . I have ran into "myself" in a few dreams before as well. My "other self" usually starts out as my shadow and then forms into me. My other self looks exactly like me, but has different clothes. I've never really paid attention to the hair, so I'm not sure if it is different. I usually end up smoking weed with my other self . He has only appeared in a few dreams though. Like you, I also like for my dreams to be surprising. I will often just follow along with the dream plot/scenarios and improvise along the way. It almost feels like I am taking part in a live movie/video game sometimes. I will talk to DCs (dream characters) as if I know them and give them names. The DCs respond as if they know me as well and I am able to shape my own dream stories while still keeping the element of surprise intact. My environments and DCs will go along with me as if we were all acting in a live movie . It keeps things interesting.
