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?
