Lucid dreams!?

Question

Has anyone ever had a lucid dream before? They're dreams that you have where you're actually aware that you're dreaming. I had one not too long ago, I was at school and I remember going around saying "this is a dream! This really isn't happening! I'm dreaming right now!" It was the coolest thing ever! I bet if I really would've put my mind to it, I could've controlled where I was and what I was doing. Has anyone else every had a lucid dream before? What was it about?

Answer 1

yea i had one about a year ago were i was just leaving school and i became aware that i was dreaming. so i decided i was going to go to the store and i new exactly were it was. i went in and decided i was going to get a drink. i told the clerk that i wasnt going to pay for it then i walked out and went across the street intop an alley and sat on a curb at which then i decided to wake mself up.

its r3eall the best feeling ever being aware that you are dreaming because thats the place were dreams really do come true. there is no rules no laws no way you should act everything is controlled by you and you only. but it is strange how the slightest thought in a dream can completley restructure your entire surroundings. for example if you are just walking down the street and you think about swimming its like you are teloported onto that enviroment.

i wonder what it is that causes you to be concious of your dream and how thos neurons in your head spark the right transmitters to make it possible. great question by the way. thanks and happy lucid dreaming to you

Answer 2

Yes, mine was very scary/freaky...

At first I wasn't aware I was dreaming... I was at a very rural place with trees all around, and there was this huge black train sitting on the tracks, and this guy was working on it... I knew I wasn't supposed to be there, so I hid behind this pile of rocks (or something).. and then the guy looked at me all of a sudden and started to walk towards me really fast. And I tried to run away, but it was one of those dreams where no matter how fast you try to run, you're in slow motion... well, I finally sat down on the fender of a pickup truck that was there while the guy was still coming towards me, and I was telling myself that I was dreaming and that I needed to wake up... and I kept saying "wake up" over and over, and I couldn't wake up.. and then I looked up and screamed "wake up" as loud as I could right as the guy was getting ready to grab me, and I finally woke up... it freaked me out so bad that I tried not to go back to sleep for the rest of the night...

I have them every now and then, but that's the one I remember the best.

i used to have them all the time when i was little. i would have a nightmare and just before the monster or whatever was about to get me i'd realize it was a dream and just blow on it and it would disappear, then i would spend the rest of the dream doing things that would be impossible in real life (like flying). haven't had a dream like that in like ten years!
