Lucid Dreams
61 Answers
I had my first one for a few years last night. I met a very attractive, slim but curvy, young blonde and once I had explained that she was in a lucid dream we got on very well together! Very strange experience, and I find it difficult to know what enables such states of mind.
Does anyone else here have such dreams?

Once I dreamt that I was in a bunk down the back of a 747 and we were about to ditch in the sea. The dream made me wake up and I was in a bunk down the back of a 747. That was a bit scary.

I have vivid dreams every night and most seem very real. Actually about three every night and they don't make any sense. I've had them since childhood. They are much more exciting than my real life and usually feature people who don't exist in real life. Many are nightmares!! I would love to sleep soundly and feel refreshed in the morning.
Yes, I have dreamt every night of my life, lucid dreams but I awaken totally refreshed.
As a teenager a common dream was that I could fly, sometimes by taking off from the ground and sometimes in a Spitfire.
Other times I dreamt that I could breath but just woke up in time before I passed out.........didnt bother me.
In the very early twenties would dream that I as asked to diagnose a medical condition....I couldn't and woke up in a sweat.
Mid-life.....a recurrent dream was that I was told that there had been a mistake and although I had reached Consultant status, I had to go back to Med.School to retake my finals.
Later, like Atheist, met a luscious blonde in a hotel booked in and after buying the champagne, couldnt remember which room she was in LOL
Never had scary nightmares.

I sometimes go through periods of lucid dreaming and also sleep paralysis.
With lucid dreaming, I am not aware of changing the direction of the dream but I say to other people in the dream world that it is only a dream and not serious.
I don't usually sleep well, I sleep in short cycles of 90 to 120 minutes. I am sure that must affect dreaming but I don't know how.

wolf, thanks for your reply. It's interesting that you can talk to people in your dreams and explain what's going on. I can occasionally do that, but I can't always control what happens next. I wish I had even more control and get some feedback from my dream characters. Do yours ever give you interesting info?
Been thinkin:
As a child, perhaps 11 or 12 years old I went through a phase where I had nocturnal seminal emissions which would stain the sheets.
I wasn't masturbating but grandma said that if I didn't stop she would tell grandad I tried to explain that I couldn't help it but she was less than sympathetic.

I can have deep conversations with people who I remember very vividly when I wake up but are people I have never met. I can walk underwater and levitate or fly. I went through a period when I was actually dreaming that I was a vampire, but i didn't want to be a vampire!! I didn't ever bite anybody in these dreams!!
pat; I never walked underwater, but I used to fly (often in a sort of helicopter or aeroplane). One of my favourites was really odd - my office chair would whizz along with me on it; leaning left or right would take me left or right. Leaning forward would accelerate and leaning backwards would brake.
The brain is a truly marvellous machine, that it can conjure up all these inner experiences without any external stimuli.
