just waking..................
Hello! I am new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I have apparently been lucid dreaming my whole life, and never knew that they way I dream had a name. My mother started me in controlling my dreams when I was a child after a series of nightmares. Normally, I do not discuss my dreams with many people since they do not understand how I decide and control what happens. (most people would think I was full of poo)..........Anyhow, it is great to see a community of people that all dream this way. I am looking forward to talking with people who are on the same page!
About half of my dreams are Lucid, in that I have an active role in what happens next. Sometimes I control 100% of what happens, sometimes I control some, and sometimes I relinquish all control just see what happens next., but 99.9%of the time I dream I know that its a dream and not real. For me its like a movie, and even my perspectives change....1st person, 3rd person watching myself, and even 3rd person with me not in dream. I have even had a few dreams where I was not me at all, and I had a different name. (that one was fun......I looked in a mirror and I was not me!) I guess my biggest problems are retaining the full timeline in memory when I wake up. If you asked me what I dreamt last night, I can remeber it pretty well, but ask me what I dreamed yesterday, and its already 50% gone. :shakehead2:
Anyhow - I look forward to some great reading and discourse!
