hi guys:)

So Im new on here. Ive been reading up on lucid dreaming. But what ive been reading doesn’t seem to be enough information for me. Here are some facts about my dreams:
I see through my eyes. It is not like I am watching a movie.
I don’t feel pain. They say pain is only in the mind. If I get hurt in my dreams, I know that I am injured, but there is no pain.
I can read in my dreams. I have read clocks, and I have read books. Books that are totally fictional, books that aren’t real, they have never been written. But they make sense. They aren’t just a bunch of words on a page that don’t mean anything. They make sense.
I can slow down, speed up, and stop time in my dreams at will. If there is a situation in my dream where I feel the need to stop and think about something before I do it, then I do. I stop time and think. Same with speeding up and slowing down time.
I can change my dreams, like most lucid dreamers. If there is something or someone in my dream that I don’t like or want, I just make it/them disappear, pretty much.
I can fly whenever I want, really. But not like superman. Sometimes I have to kick my feet or “flap” my arms to fly. When I fly I feel weighed down, like I can’t fly as fast or as high as I would like.
I can run extremely fast. But again, like with flying, I can’t run as fast as id like. My vision doesn’t blur when I run. If run inhumanly fast, I always think: you cannot see me. If I don’t think that, then the people in my dream can see me, and so they can follow me if they are chasing me or whatever.
I can turn into whatever I want. If I want to turn into a werewolf like the ones from twilight, then I do. I can turn into a dragon. I can do whatever. But unlike my human form, when I am a werewolf my running is not inhibited, neither is my flying when I am a dragon.
Whenever I drive in my dreams, the vehicle I am driving seems to always have absolutely horrible brakes, not sure why.
When I first become consciously aware that I am dreaming, I get a choice. I can choose whether or not I want to wake up. I can make myself wake up at any point during my dream, like most lucid dreamers. When I wake myself up it sort of feels like I am doing a flip underwater, then sliding down a slide as I wake up, normal?
When I am underwater, I do not hold my breath. I don’t have gills; I just don’t feel the need to breathe.
Just thought maybe I could share those facts with you. Everything ive ever read never seemed to have the effect on me that it has on anybody else. The things I read about are things that I did when I was like eight and im sixteen now. People say that they have lucid dreams, but when I read their stories I don’t see them talking about how they actually control the dream…? Maybe I just don’t get it. It makes me think sometimes that there Is something higher than lucid dreaming, because what everybody says that they experienced just seems like a lower level to me. What do you guys think??
Are the things ive just written normal, or is it something you’ve never heard of?

Welcome to Dreamviews!

Those are some nice skills. Please feel free to participate and share in our forum. I don't know how many posts and dream journal entries you have read here, but many people have similar skills. That doesn't make yours any less cool. Happy dreams:alien:

hi :)


you are in friendly waters, I assure you :zocks:

Hey there :D Welcome to DV. I'd say you're a pretty experienced lucid dreamer. Many people are still starting out, and still honing their lucid dreaming skills, so that's probably why you are a bit confused about the level difference. You really have amazing skills, I hope to hear more from you. Don't hesitate to share your ideas with us, so we can also learn from you :)

By the way, just curious. Do you practice any induction techniques or anything?

See ya around!

okay thank you for clearing up my confusion:) well i really dont think so. i listen to music while i sfall asleep, mostly rock. i am an insomniac, so i have alot of trouble falling asleep. so to solve that i just play little scenarios in my head like a pretend im a vampire or something, just to entertain myself long enough to fall asleep. im not sure if that effects my dreams, but i dont meditate or anything like that. hope that confusing paragragh answers your question:)

It sounds like you have awesome dream control. We all chose to use our dreams for different things. Sometimes it is fun to do the things you described. Other times It is fun to just explore without interfering with the dream. I tend to go through phases. For a few weeks, I will have very adventurous dreams about shape shifting, wrestling sea monsters, or slaying gods. The following month, I might spend my time wandering around my childhood home, crying like a baby.

You should definitely check out the Task Of The Month forum:
