Thank you all soooo much! It really means a lot that there are people willing to help me out with something like this. It's hard to talk to people about these dreams who have never really had dreams like this or have a hard time recalling their dreams. I have actually always been really able to recall my dreams in great detail. I used to get night terrors 2 years ago when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and then after she passed away a few months later. And somehow the night terrors just stopped after one really crazy dream that I had. I'll post more detail on it, but what I'm getting at is that I feel like dreams are so powerful and I don't think many people I know look at them the way I look at them. So I am so glad to have found a place to express these feelings of dreams and for it to be understood by others. Anyways, I would love to learn more about lucid dreaming. It sounds like something I could really use. I have actually resorted to counseling for this because it's just had such a huge effect on my daily life these last couple weeks. If lucid dreaming can help, it'd sure save me a lot of money.
