RE: Adventures in Lucid Dreaming: How Dream Control Works

in #life8 years ago (edited)

I can control my dreams, it's not that i fall a sleep and start.
It needed growth for many years and now i have certain worlds, fantasies that come back and which i explore further as it seems i draw them further.
Those are elaborate dreams with places and towns etc, like fi i can remember in my dream here i went left last dream(but i know from experience the actions taking place are relived, so they are kind of a game, my dreams), let's walk on, as i explore and "draw" more. As i said i'll have to wait to get back in such a dreamworld, might take months or more.
One of the recent best was an all out war with pigmies on giant mastodontlike elephants, battling away against a certain enemy, as it get's complicated i wake up, untill next dream.
But in all they tend to be lighter and shorter, walking around, beautifull woman, cycling, eating etc
And usually i can steer the character if any, but then it stops, mostly as i seem to recognise a situation i already dreamed about.
So i think they don't take that long and the most fun is recognicing situations i already dreamed about, altering the actions. Fossilhuntdreams are also fun, the finds are usually enormous..

Your dreams sound amazing. I would love to have dreams like that but haven't had much luck so far. I'm glad to know it's possible! Did you start out having the kind of problems I was having with the dream not cooperating? Or were you always able to explore and create like that?

It does happen, i also have these catch me dreams(like running in a city and avoiding eyecontact with the zombielike inhabitants, in my case sorth of shades with white burning eyes), that go smoothly, sometimes accelerating and then some action i really miss(not cooperating) and things get intense rapidly, like the whole town starts chasing me and it's at times like this memories from other dreams come up like flying, if i remember while dreaming, i can take to the skies.
Good you mention flying, think i started remembering and controlling actions with this, just like the Dragonball flyers which i took to my dreams at a certain age. It accelerated the process, but i don't look at it too close. Cause i really like to sleep and don't want to miss a good sleep pondering.
Long sleeps also help in my case, when you're relax and snug, usually controlled dreams come when i have already had a good rest.
