Ive been fascinated with what my dreams mean and how deep they can go for about 5 years. I suffered an overdose of a psychedelic substance called G.O.B and was hospitalized. The drug along with a concussion put me in a surreal mindset for about 2 years to where my dreams ever since all occur in the same world that i have created. I can and have drawn maps of this place and have been keeping a journal of it when i can remember. At first my dreams were more vivid and real than real life, but over time the vividness has faded, but still amazing and or scary. Ive never been able to control them but they are a big part of my life and how my mood is affected. I hope to learn to explore this world of mine at my own pace and with free will. Thanks for the awesome amount of info here, i have been fascinated with lucid dreaming for quite some time.
