Hello! My dreams are vivid and strange!

Hello all! I am 19 years old, I live at home with both my parents. I go to community college, where I am a photojournalism major. I am a pretty self conscious person, I tend to overthink alot of things, usually petty things from the past. I am pretty shy, I am definitely ocd about alot of things. And I smoke alot of pot.

Now that my intro is out of the way.. I decided to join this forum because I have never met somebody that has dreams as strange as I do. My dreams are always extremely vivid and they feel so real. I will sometimes even get emotional due to a dream, and I often mistake stuff that has happened in past dreams, for reality. I often have strange recurring dreams, and I would like to get your opinions on them. I became interested with lucid dreaming, when I first watched Waking Life about 4 years ago. Although I am still yet to have a lucid dream. I always feel as if I have no control over what I am doing in my dreams, like I am watching a movie of myself or something. The closest that I have come to a lucid dream is when I will wake up from a good dream, and I will drift back to sleep and kinda half sleep, half imagine the rest of the dream, but it is never as real as when I am in deep sleep. Most of my dreams are so bizarre that I would consider them nightmares. I also have alot of trouble sleeping, I find my self staying up until 4 or 5 in the morning everynight, no matter how hard I try to get back to a normal sleeping pattern. I am hoping that this forum will help me control my dreams better, and possibly even help me with my horrible sleeping schedule.

Sorry for rambling on, and thanks for listening!

You're not the Nicholas I know, are you? O_O

I have a lot of weird dreams too, but his dreams are incredibly pwnsome by comparison, but ... You're a year older and talk like a completely different person, so yeah. It was just an interesting coincidence since I showed him this forum a while ago.

Anyway, welcome aboard!
