Didn't you just say that you could control your dreams perfectly? The sentence above is a clear contradiction to that statement.

We have a few naturals floating around this site. It is cool that you have developed a repeating scenario that accompanies your lucid dreams. Does this scenario ever feel like a limitation to you?

Xel, it's a joke. You've never read/watched the Twilight books/movie, have you? The characters are all one-dimensional and all are severely limited in their emotional range. Therefore you can only see them in one way, there is no other way of seeing them. I can see them fine, I was making fun of the books.

And, Robot, no, it doesn't. It ensures nothing happens that I don't want it too (although I can't really change anything in this beginning room). It's actually really great. Once I spent hours in that room designing a whole universe. Besides that I actually design lots of houses (mostly designed for myself, and being very modern, colors being black, white, and bits of bright color around the rooms that really stand out), boats (I once built a luxury ship... it was about the size of Switzerland), aircraft, towns (actually sometimes I'll design a small town for me, my friends, and people I like, and just live there for couple months. Then sprout swords/maces/whatever-I-want out of my arms or something and kill everyone and leave.), cities, worlds, cultures, religions. I'm just glad I can separate the dream world from reality, or I'm sure I would have developed some kind of insane god-complex or something.

So, no, it doesn't limit me, it helps me focus my brain on designing something I want rather than being distracted by rejecting something I don't want.

If not for your description of this room that you go to as a transition between dream world and real world, I would think you flat out fabricated this whole story.

But it just so happens I had an experience in a dream just like your room. I was in like a spaceship type area, and so were millions of other people, as far as the eye could see. I also saw a few friends around me. And everybody was standing around or just exiting whatever dream they were in and walking toward their own special pod that would take them back to the real world. And sure enough, all at the same time, we got ported up, and I woke up. So maybe just maybe, I can believe this rediculously ideal situation you're claiming is real.

Like you, I've always LD'd I don't remember dreaming any other way. When I was a kid I had a filing cabinet in my mind. I had paper copies of the dreams I wanted. I just opened the cabinet, pulled out the file, and the dream started playing. Yours is just a little higher tech than mine. All us natural lucid dreamers have something like that in our heads that we developed as small children. I probably would have had a laptop, if laptops had existed when I was that young. LOL, the thought of a 5yr old with a laptop makes me feel old.

No, I didn't have a laptop, but my dad sells fax machines and computers so I knew about that stuff way earlier then anyone else I knew. No, really I think it's ridiculous that 5-7 year olds are getting cell phones, iPods, and laptops now.

As for the filing cabinet, that's pretty cool. Did the different drawers have different types of dreams? Like action, fighting, building, that kind of stuff? Did yours last as long as you want like mine? If they did how did you get out?

imawesome, so your dream lasted 3 years but how long were you actually asleep? and in this dream do you remember going to sleep and waking up every day for 3 years? and if you did, did you have LDs in your LDs?! i know that sounds crazy but it's kinda hard for me to understand that
