Last night I started my dream journal. I wrote down 5 dreams throughout the night, 3 of which were lengthy and detailed. I was talking to a friend who said he used to be able to control his dreams when he was a kid, and he said that it was just like real life. He said he could feel the cool breeze and other sensations. After writing down my dreams last night I remembered them very well, but it seemed that I was just a spectator in a blurry kind of world if you know what I mean. It was more like watching a movie than feeling like I was there. Does this change once you can realize your dreaming? Does it change from seeming like watching a movie to actually throwing you into the movie? Any help would be appreciated =)
