Every so often I have lucid dreams, where I recognize I’m in a dream. It’s an interesting position to be in. If I had good control over it I could use it for all kinds of fun purposes. Instead of reigning in control my dream usually ends, I wake up or everything in the dream just kind of falls apart. People turning into zombies or something of that sort.
Last night I recognized I was dreaming, and even remembered how some things in my dreams referenced other dreams I had a long time ago. I was in a book store I remembered from when I was a kid, in a previous dream I had a job there. I remembered that dream within the dream last night, where I was at the same bookstore, and started talking to the people working there telling them how I had a short stint working there. Rather than wake up or have it get screwy I just let things go. Recognizing that nothing really mattered I started not really caring about anything, kind of like when I’m drunk, only with less slurring, shouting and stumbling.

i just realized that i have had lucid dreams since childhood, i assumed everyone dreamed so realistic , now that i am older and talked to a LOT of people, i realize how niave that was, i read books on the subject and while i cant do a lucid dream completely on command, often times ,several times a year i have one, where i am consience and fully aware ,and lucid, and literally say during the lucid dream, “im in!!!” once i realize hey , i am dreaming and can be a PARt of it, and this is cooler than watching a good movie, because i am writing the script as the “movie ” plays out! it is a real buzz, of the most natural kind, and i always wake up Super refreshed, enthused about life again, and intrigued.! anyone else experience that,? i drink a lot of caffeine, no alchohol, and no illicit drugs, so i think that helps the lucidity.
I approach it like a fun scientific experiment and keep a journal. Analyze it. Its a blast, especially when you fly like superman and see the land and city scapes below!
