This is why I love search engines!

Hi, I found this place via google because I was looking for ways to prevent highly vivid dreaming.

Since I was a child I have experienced dreams which are as real as life: full colour and sound, multiple 'real' dreams every night, full recall 80% of the time. Over the last few months, my dreams are so incredibly vivid I feel like I have been awake while sleeping. I am not rested or refreshed on waking, and even catnaps are full of dreaming.

Having found this place and had a nosy, I think maybe instead of stopping dreaming, I need to try and learn to control my dreams better?

Glad I stumbled across this place, it's reassuring to know other people dream large too!

Hi and welcome! And totally! Don't throw away such a wonderful "gift". Why not use the third of life we usually spend in darkness, to do something fun and amazing? If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

I totally agree Tim. It seems as though the community is a real community with real people willing to share ideas with eachother. It's like everyone is a helpful neighbor!

Why would you have wanted to prevent highly vivid dreams? I wish i had those every night!

maybe it's just learning control, I'm just so exhausted from being awake in my sleep *awww* lol

...y'know, it probably doesn't help that my 4-year-old son ALWAYS gets up before 5 am...makes it hard to do the 'laying there quietly for five minutes' thing, too!

It sounds like you have amazing dreams. You're going to make everyone jealous!

I can't wait to see what you will be able to do once you start becoming more active in your dreams.

I have a friend like you. Unfortunately, He's on the popular teenage bandwagon and would never open up to this site. Besides. I was a semi-gifted dreamer. Lost it, then got It back. Do you know how many people want to be you after reading that post?
