Hi everyone, I found this forum via google, Seems like theres a nice bunch of people on here so I signed up and decided to make a post.

I'm 18, Male, Live in Northern Ireland and i'm new-ish to controlling my dreams.

Basicaly it started around 2-3 months ago, I had a dream where I realised I was actualy dreaming, As soon as this happened I woke up with a kind of 'rush' and quickly realised I was now awake. After a few seconds of thinking about what just happened I decided to see if I could get back into the dream. I did, Almost instantly, I was standing on a small wall when I realised I was dreaming so I jumped off it and woke up instantly. This happened around 4 or 5 times (Waking up when I realised I was dreaming) Then I was able to stay in the dream if I didnt move at all. This was all for one night as I seemed to just wake up the next day as normal.

I didn't have any more dreams that I was in controll of for a few days. The next time I was in the same scenario (Incase your wondering, It was in a green driveway with a basketball net, No idea why I remember the basketball net so vividly but it seems to pop up a lot, As you will read about a little later)
So basicaly at this point I was waking up when I tried to do anything in the dream, This went on for a while untill I finally was able to walk, But I woke up when I tried to run. After about 6ish times of waking up and getting back into the dream I was able to pick up the basket ball and throw it in the net. I jumped once and I could float, But again, As soon as I started to float I would wake up.
At this point I looked at the time out of intrest and it was around 1:10am.
I'll skip a bit untill the best part. Basicaly after a while I was able to FLY! Well, I would jump and float for a while then come back down, As if there was low gravity. I seemed to get better and better, more confident and more in controll of my dreams. I had one huge dream where I was getting chased by people that live around my street and I was jumping away from them, I could also swim in the air just as if I was swimming in water, The dream lasted a few hours but I looked at the clock and it was 1:40 ish.

I can honestly say having these dreams is the highlight of my life, And I mean it. I don't have these dreams often, Seems to be around once a week now but I have methods I use which im pretty certain work for me.
Basicaly I leave the TV switched on and the volume slightly louder than normal, I use 3 pillows instead of 2 as I used to, I sleep with my head further up the pillow and I find I have more control over my dreams If I lie on my hands or cross them so they can't move. Maybe this is what is waking me up if they are not held down? I can't fly in every dream but its really cool when I can.

I also have the ability to wake up at any time instantly, I just say out loud "This is a dream" and I snap out of it

Well thats enough tripe from me I just wanted to share my experiences as everyone I tell in real life just laughs at me.


Any thoughts on my story or anything like that would be great

Talk to ya'll guys soon!
