Last night I had such a vivid dream that it caused me to search for some answers online. Ive heard of lucid dreams before and saw bits of the movie waking life. I came upon this site and immediately started realizing certain things about how I dream.

Most importantly, that, when I dream I often find myself running.. however when I attempt to run my legs encounter so much resistance it seems as though I am waste deep in mud or water. Its then I often realize I am dreaming, but forget so moments later (or just lose interest). This has been reoccurring for 2 years or more.. each time it happens I know I'm dreaming... I often attempt to analyze why this happens after I'm awake, thinking theres some message behind it.. perhaps there isn't.

One question I had, I often have dreams where I feel strong emotion towards a person, but, later on when I awake I can not remember their face. I'm not sure if I even ever see their faces in my dream or not. Its almost a fuzzy looking .. feeling almost. Other times I see faces vividly but its often of characters that play absolutely no real role in the dream. Is this common?
