Hi, I'm VERY new to lucid dreaming. In fact the only reason I found this board, is that several times a year, while I'm dreaming, my body begins to spin - mostly top to bottom (as if I were "topspin" on a tennis ball), and it's a very gentle spin.

Also, the spinning appears to be controlled or directed from something "other" than me. It's not me who controls the spinning, although I probably could if I tried. It's pleasurable and not the least bit dizzying.

I have also had the sensation where I'm not spinning, but the same "force" is pulling me around physically in a dream - moving me from room to room at a high speed, negating rules of physics and such.

This happens only a few times a year, and each time the dreams are incredibly vivid - I'm not sure they're true lucid dreams, as I don't feel I have much more control over the content, but they are certainly more vivid in color and physical sensation.

I did a Google search for "spinning in dreams" and found that it's discussed as a conscious technique for keeping a lucid dream going.

Anyone ever had a similar experience where the spinning or being physically moved around in dreams seems to happening from another source (other than their own will)?

Just wondering - thanks. I'm sure this sounds crazy.
