Hello, I just joined up yesterday (5-31-12) to read and talk about dreams. I've always been interested in dream interpretation, if I had a dream I wanted to investigate, I would simply turn to a dream dictionary and consider the results. To me joining a dream forum is a big step, I gotta admit I had a strange feeling all day after putting a dream online ( see New Drug in School ) but that wore off. I don't know if it's a rare ability or not but I can dream something and if I can remember any part of it when I wake, I can return to it 2-3 times that night very easily. I was capable of lucid dreaming effortlessly when I was a teenager (14) for about 6 months but life pressures ended it. I routinely chose to be able to jump in the sky and command the wind to push me over fields and towns and people. Sometimes I would just leap in 50-100 yard gaits. I attribute losing that ability to choose my dream to losing my complete innocence. I started working when I was 15 and constant interaction with people changed me, I lived to be something in the world not in my dreams. Maybe someday I will return to having that control for more than 5-10 seconds.
