Recent dreams brought me here!

Hey everyone I'm 21 and work as a barber/hairdresser whilst studying at college. These past couple of months I have been having dreams where I fall asleep then I can be just outside the house or in strange places like the old village I used to go to school. I can just randomly be pulled up into the air and nearly hit walls, fences buildings but just miss them. As the dreams have gone on I now can sort of control it by what feels like moving my head. They can be pretty scary as I can go way too high or in the complete wrong direction if I'm not careful, I wake up feeling as though it was completely real. Any idea what its about? This is the first time I've heard about lucid dreaming, is this a case? Thanks

Hi lukej. If you knew you were dreaming in those, then you were lucid. You may also be able to control the dream without being lucid though, as is the case for many people in their normal dreams where they know what they are doing, but they don't really realize it is a dream. Check out http://www.dreamviews.com/f20/beginn...eaming-124786/ for some basic info as well as links to tutorials.

Also, lucid dreams and dreams in general tend to feel real, because our mind simulates emotions and sensation as if it were real life, based on our experiences.

Have fun browsing the site! If you need anything, feel free to ask

Welcome to Dreamviews!

That's awesome, you were having lucid dreams. May be scary, because you don't know what's happening. But LDs can be so much fun. Take a look at Dream Control forum about controlling your dreams. Happy dreams
