has anyone ever became completely aware of themselves in a dream to the point of total consciousness?

Question

then been able to control there dream completely so becoming aware of the fact that your dreaming andthen manipulating it by choice like your own unique universe

Answer 1

Yes I have done it too. I don't know how it happens, but it may be a momentary consciousness in the middle of a dream. It's really pleasurable to control your own dream.

Answer 2

I've been aware of dreaming sometimes, and when the dream comes to a point I don't like, I would simply jolt myself and open my eyes. Though, in terms of control of a dream, I can only change the direction of a dream somewhat at some points by thinking of a possibility or image related to what is currently happening, but the dream somewhat moves freely from that point on. I've even woken up on several levels from a dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream. It's crazy...

Consciousness is really altered by sleep and drowsiness, so fully conscious control of dreaming is, I think, impossible.

Answer 3

Dream researchers call it "lucid dreaming."

Everyone is capable of it though some of us are more or less skilled than others. There are steps you can take to learn how to become aware that you are dreaming, and then to take control of your actions in your dream.

Some people do this to fulfill their fantasies, some to practice for real life, some to explore the subconscious.

Check out this book. I've been using it and getting very positive results!

Answer 4

If you've reached total consciousness then no longer dreaming,by the way you are still conscious when you are sleeping,dreaming. There are degrees of sleep and dreaming-usually when you are able to direct your dream its shortly before you wake up,at least its always that way with me.am no longer in the deep sleep,deep dream stage.You can also briefly wake up and go back to sleep again but bet you can't re dream or begin at the point you where in dream before you wake up. Dreams come from your subconscious and why in most cases have no meaning for us to internalize and mostly not within our control. When you direct action of dream you are going from subconscious back into conscious state of mind which allows you input. Disregard the by the way comment please my thinking a bit off on that one.

Answer 5

That reminds me of the other night when i woke up from this amazing dream ,i could feel my self waking but i couldn't stop myself, i was so peeved off , so i decided to keep thinking about the dream over and over again until i went back to sleep, and would you believe it i had another 30 Min's of great times.

A long time ago when i was at collage i used to have a reoccurring dreams, i don't know if you would call them lucid dreams or not, but it seemed like i could control them, trouble is as the dream went on my vision would start to fail,i would start to get a horrid feeling in my head and i would find it hard to move, at this point i would try to wake my self up by shaking my self violently and screaming , sometimes it would work , but sometimes i thought i had only to realise i was still a sleep, it would take 20 Min's to calm down after i woke up. thankfully its not happened recently.

I take it something that happens to you.

Answer 6

i dont think i can do it anymore, but when i was a teenager, particularly at the ages of about 13-16, i was very able to do so.

I found myself able to decide before i went to sleep, what i would dream about, then i would be able to manouvre the dream whilst it was happening, also if i did wake up, i was able to go back to the dream and start again.
this was very useful if i was having a nightmare!

I dont know why i was able to do this, but i assure you it was true, also my father told me that he was able to do this too.
I remember that being able to do this was really awesome, and allowed me to have dreams that were very vivid.

I must confess i have not actually tried to do this for ages, i am 28 now, so i cannot tell whether, i simply can't do it or have just stopped trying.

I never met anyone else who says that they have ever been able to do such a thing, but i am sure others must be capable!

Answer 7

I would only be so deep in a dream if I had a very low blood glucose level [2.9 or less]. After these I am too involved in getting sugar to remember the cause.

Answer 8

I've been dreaming and then realized I was dreaming, but the dream continued. Is that what you mean?

When I was younger, I read books on lucid dreaming so I could overcome a fear of snakes...and actually it worked. Haven't tried fear of airplane dreams though.

Answer 9

Yeah, sometimes it happens to me that I can controll the events in my dreams. A good thing when you're having a nightmare! :)

Answer 10

yes but usually its an intense dream
