Hy,

I'm new but it already looks as if it's a very exciting place here. ^^

Background:
I love dreaming an always could remember loads of dreams, sometimes even 5 different ones a night, I guess that's every single REM-state. When I first heard of lucid dreaming I thought this must be fascinating, but I also wasn't sure if it truly was possible. However, it didn't seem too far from possible, so I started searching for information, even bought a book about it and quickly realised, that I actually had prelucid dreams very often, I just didn't know what that was and always thought I'm watching a film while dreaming. xD
I sometimes even changed things in my dreams, it just seemed normal to me so I never bothered about it.
It didn't take too long for me to get a lucid dream; I had tried it a few times and then it was just there. First I was so excited that I woke up after a few seconds, the second dream (which I had got that night) didn't last much longer, but it already was much clearer and felt even more real than the first one.

This leads me to a few questions:

1)
In my dream I have been watching TV when I realised that I was dreaming. As soon as I was sure the TV gave out, there was just a white noise left. Did that happen because my or the brain in general is not able to produce two different plot lines synchronistically (the events in the TV and the things I am doing)?

2)
Why is there this barrier, that tries to wake you up? It's as if some invisible force is pushing you out a door.

3)
Lucid dreaming is easier in the morning, right?

4)
Controlling dreams should not be possible if you even can't stay in your dreams for a while I guess, but actually I did it several times within a few seconds. o_O

5)
Is it possible to lose touch with reality? Like confusing dream an reality and not knowing which was real and which not. Could one damage ones mind?


Thank you for your answers, I guess I'll have fun here.
