Hello, so glad I found your forum. How exciting that there are so many individuals that experience these dreams. I am interested in learning more. I have had lucid dreams since I was child. My mother told me how I would tell the monster to go away, that I was dreaming and i would awaken and they would go away. Threw my many years, I would change dreams, have fun with them. I thought everyone did.

I am disabled, I do take a lot of medications. Somehow I have lost my ability to control the dreams. I know I am dreaming and I reach a point I want to awaken, but can't on my own.

I have learned to call out to my husband, to tell him to wake me. If the bed room door is closed (where he couldn't hear me) I whistle for the dog to open the door so my husband can hear me call out to him to wake me.

Life is stressful and my dreams have become a relfection of that stress. I need to enjoy these again.

I had to lucid dreams last night - one was very enjoyable. The other was very distrubing, I opened my mouth to yell, but nothing came out. i felt trapped for a long time until I was able to call to my husband. i remained awake for a while so as not to go back into that dream.

It is very tiresome not to rest at night....thank you for accepting me and i look foward to meeting other members.
