I'm a n00b, would like feedback if possible.

hello,

well i am new to this so i will try my best to explain things. I am 27 years old and since i was about 12 i realized that i could control my dreams. usually it was nightmares. Well for about the last few weeks my lucid dreams have become more and more, i guess i am curious to what i can do with my dreams. I talked to my wife about my Lucid dreams and she told me I should try to do new things in my dream. Well an idea popped into my head so i told myself next time i have a lucid dream i will try to talk to my mother in my dream.This conversation was yeasterday as well as the idea.

This afternoon i took a long nap. I dreamed that I was going back to my old job at a hardware store. As i am walking into the store i realize that this isn't my job anymore and at that moment i also realized that i was in fact dreaming. The second i realized i was dreaming every person in this large store disappeared in an instant. However my dog appeared to the left of me attached to his leash that i was holding. I wanted to talk to my mother who had passed away 3 years ago but i didn't feel like it was the right moment, things felt a bit erie, too quiet. I looked over at my dog and asked him well since i am asleep and we can do whatever we want where should we go? My dog looked at me, turned around as if he were guiding me somewhere. As i am exiting the store there is no one at all out there, it is extremely quiet, but now there is a fence trapping me in the front of the store. to the left of me is a 4 foot wall that was not guarded by a fence. my dog jumped over it and i fallowed. Once over the fence another fence appeared in front of me. I had the feeling as if something were coming for me and wouldn't let me out. Not really scared knowing i'm asleep i just closed my eyes in the dream and told myself that when i open my eyes i will be in the parking lot. when i opened my eyes there i was in the parking lot. This dream was not going as planned so i looked over at my dog and said its wake up time buddy. I woke up and ironicly my dog was laying there in the bed next to me. Big boxer dog mind you :? .

This is my first time ever really talking about this to someone other than my wife. This is also my first time ever researching about this. When i located this website today i was amazed how many people actually knew about this. please give any feedback wheather its inturpreting my dream or if you have any comments.

thanx for your input. btw sorry bout the spelling, i was in a rush. :D [/img]

well u have good dream control :) hope u continuing haveing more lucid dreams, and welcome to dream views :)

Welcome to Dreamviews. Someone told me that it is a good idea to have something planned for when you become lucid and experience dream control. That is wonderful that you actually have a plan--to go speak with your mother. However, you didn't feel it was right at that moment in your dream. Also a bit eerie. Maybe you should consider what environment you would like to be in when you talk to your mom. Have something planned out--a nice place for you and her so that next time when you feel it is right emotionally, you have a plan on how to make the environment/atmosphere right also.

There are many tutorials here that can help and educate you further with lucidity and dream control. But also there are many people here who will be glad to help you out. So once again-Welcome!! :)

Hi Kodiak

Welcome to Dreamveiws...

Very interesting dream indeed. As justme mentioned it seems as though you have great control. I guest your Dog is your trusty companion perhaps there were danger lurking around and your dog was your dream guide and guided you away from harms way. I can't interpert other peoples dream but this is just my take on it.
