Thread: Lucid Dream--Affair with my doctor

Until today, I didn't even know I was a "natural" lucid dreamer. For a while, I have been wondering about my vivid dreams that seem very "real". I tell my husband about them and how I seem to guide them into a certain direction. Most of the time I wake up during a dream but I am able to go back to sleep and continue the dream. It usually goes into my desired direction. I thought everybody was able to do that but when I ask other people, they seem surprised and have not been able to do the same. Until this morning, I had never heard of the term "Lucid Dreamer" and what it means.
The only reason, I was doing some research on a particularly real and vivid dream I had last night (and stumbling upon this site), was that I couldn't discuss it with my husband...In the dream, I had a sexual affair with a doctor whom we both know. I was quite shocked about the dream because I have not actually thought about this man in a sexual way before (and now I do, grrr). He did send me a few (innocent) flirtatious emails before but nothing "alarming". Now I'm shocked that I was able to guide the dream into a certain direction after waking up and realizing I had been dreaming about this man...the affair (kissing, holding hands) we had in part 1 of my dream, turned into a very sexual affair that I was physically able to feel (in part 2). It was so real. Unfortunately, I was not able to control the dream all the way to the end because it turned out that I became pregnant by this doctor and he left me to go back to his wife...Of course I couldn't talk to my husband about it but he knew that I was disturbed upon waking...
Have you been able to continue dreams after waking up and going back to sleep? And were you able to control only part of the dream and not other parts?
