Lucid Dreaming...Must Read this*

[HelioSpark]

When I was younger I ALWAYS had lucid dreamig. every night. i was aware I was dreaming, and could wake myself by simply sitting down(in the dream) and pressing my hands to my eyes until I awoke.(strange I know)

 

but lately I seem to have lost the ability, it hasn't happened in at least 2 years.

It happens to me every few days. Sort of. I have some control over the dream but not as much as you guys say. I definitely know I am dreaming. Its quite fun. I didn't know there was a name for it.

 

But then my parents wake me up and I get ticked off. Then I forget what I was dreaming about entirely and I can't do it again, which ticks me off even more.

I have never done that.

Whenever I try to think of how a dream works, I fall asleep.

Same when I try to catch when I nod off.

It seems odd that you could control your own subconcious(?) like that.

Maybe it's because I've always had something troubling me, coming back and biting me when I try to fall asleep...

or maybe I'm just "special"

 

edit: My dreams do feel more real sometimes when I'm in danger.

I dreamt a few nights back this guy was lobbing grenads at me (long story) and I was trying to run, but I kept falling down because I was exhausted.

Is Sleep Paralysis were you can't wake up from a dream?

Ive controlled my dreams 2twice but i didnt know i was dreaming.One when we always go to the city see a play or opera and when we get back to the house the preformers are dead and we kill em but my brothers,and me ussaly die at the end(i have had the dream like 6 times).And another time when a few people died and it was my fault so i kept trying to get away.Normally when i dream i cant control anything but in those dream i could control it.And actully a dream is just a continuation of the mind while everything else relaxes.So if you are dreaming about something where the sky is the main objest it means you were loking at the sky or you were thinking about the sky.But if you get even a little bit distracted the dream will change to that point.

I have had dreams where I realized I was dreaming' date=' yet I was kind of in an awkward state, and told other people in my dream that it was a dream. They just went about there business and payed me no mind.

This happens to me occasionally. More often, however, people in my dreams will tell me to wake up, or that I'm dreaming.
