I just wanted to see if there was anyone else out there like me as I feel rather alone in the real world without anyone to compare notes with.
Lokabrenna,

Like you, I have always beeen able to LD and OBE .

I go back to places in my dream world often. And like you they are the same and the people are the same. Some of the people from this world are there repeatedly. I have the sense that I work with them over there doing things all the time. It is very familiar. there are several locals that I particularly like to return to.

Dream time is very different for me also. I have come to the realiztion that for me time is a relationship not a thing. The relationship is different here sometimes also.

I have not found that many people who remember being "out" as long as you and I and I am 60 years old and have been asking many people these questions over the years. But there are others.

I can be in what seems like a year long dream and be back to this reality just a short time later. I remember one dream where I had three years of memories when I woke up. Once when this was all newer to me (the time thing), I thought that my body surely was dead since I had been "gone" for so long. Didn't bother me much. I was just noting it.

I would be interested to hear more of your experience and what you have found meaningful in your travels.
