I always know when i'm dreaming, but I can't wake up at will.

Not cool when having nightmares.

all the time

happens to me every now and then, i think it is a ton of fun.

About every time. It's awesome, because you can actually do stuff in your dream if you think about it. Like flying, for instance.

And when I'm having nightmare or something, I can wake up on my own if I concentrate hard enough.

But that's not the case sometimes, and I end up thinking I wake up but then I'm still in my dream.

[Matt Harty]

Yeah, so I just hide until it's over. Or scream "fuck you" at whatevers chasing me, then run.

[Professor Cool]

That happens to me once in the while, but my dreams are weird, for example one time I was playing my keyboard at the Apollo Theather, and I ended up blowing it up cause they boo'ed me, and that damn black clown tried to kick me off the stage.

I don't seem to have dreams anymore

You mean Astral Projection? I tried it a few times, and once i got it to work. I had some sort of Ronin Warriors type of armor, and all i did was fly through my house to the yard. I was too excited that i got it to work and woke up. :/

I had this fantastic nightmare where I accidentally caused a huge accident that brutally killed and maimed a bunch of children. My whole dream had built up to that moment where I cause the accident, then a bunch of people in radiation suits collected the bodies of the children (killing the ones that were still alive but crying and writhing around in pain). They stick the kids in those plastic bags where you suck out all the air with a vacume, the ones they sell on TV. Then with the movie camera in my head we cut to one of the guys in the radiation suits. He pulls up one of the bags off the ground and inside of it is one of the mangled children, and he's screaming in pain. He holds it right to the camera and it's extremely fucked up. This is the point where I'd normally wake up. But instead of waking up, I think I decided to stay on it. Just to see where it would all go. It then reveals that It's all taking place on TV, but I'm looking away from it, and my parents are watching it, and they are trying to make me feel better about the accident. I'm denying it ever really happened, and they tell me to watch the TV. I refuse. Then I go to school and everybody is giving me a look, like I'm some kind of asshole. In my dream I realized that they were all mad because I didn't wake up on the scary part of the nightmare. This is where the dream becomes lucid, because I then start acting like an ass to everybody, trying to get them to not ignore me. I'm actually trying to think of different shit I can do to get them to react in my dream. I got bored so I woke up.

I can almost never remember my dreams. And when I can remember them, it's because the dreams is so weird and random that it's extremely scary. My dreams are fucked up.

I love it when you wake up, and for about two minutes (usually when I'm peeing) you think that what you just dreamed actually happened. That is so cool.

It seems like I only ever realize it's a dream when I'm having a nightmare and I wanna wake up or kill whatever's causing problems for me. The thing is, I can never turn my arms into gatling guns or anything, and I can rarely wake up from it. The only thing I can almost always do is fly.

I think Astral Projection is more like going into trance and sending out your astral body as a sort of ghost, which allows you to travel and see/talk to people in the waking world, but not touch anything.

For the past few years my dreams have been mostly really boring. My knowledge that I'm dreaming tends to slip in and out all the time. One moment I'm jumping off a building to see if I can fly, the next I'm fearing certain embarassment because I was on a field trip and lost sight of everyone. The only effect it all really has is that my nightmares are hardly ever scary anymore, because I mostly know it's all fake.

I had fantastic dreams and nightmares as a kid

[pjalne]

If I'm really tired and wake up in the middle of the night due to full bladder, I sometimes enter this semi-somnabulist state where elements and people from my dream follow me around. I'm 100% aware that it's not real, but it's still a bitch trying to piss when your shadow keeps doing fucked-up shit and your sister insists on sitting on the sink talking to you.

Luckily, it doesn't happen very often.

[Ninjavenom]

Aye, i had them mixed. What pj is talking about is the lucid dream, and astral projection is visiting the astral plane at any time at will.

who needs lucid dreamig when you can just close your eyes and start gunning down innocent people in your dreams? er....I mean, bad guys.

I can never remember my dreams, but when I do, it's either a nightmare or a really fucked up one.

[Skulhedface]

I usually find that I can wake myself up if I'm having a nightmare 9 times out of 10... that last time, I'm just dreaming that I woke up, but I kind of figure out that I'm still asleep because something fucked up is still happening.

There are two things I feel need adding in here...

1. Does anyone else have this problem? Where you're falling asleep, but you're not quite there yet... Suddenly you feel like you're falling straight through your bed and you snap up fully awake? This used to happen in the morning at school all the time

2. Most of the time, it seems that I only have nightmares when the day I had was a GREAT one. Most people tend to have nightmares if they had really shitty days or so, but I find that my nightmares come if I had a really good day. Anyone else have this problem?

I thought I'd never see a topic like this in a place like I-Mockery

Sometimes, mostly when I've been playing a videogame to death that day, I end up lying half-asleep and constantly slipping into a kind of waking dream where I'm more or less in the videogame. Kind of like I'm directly controlling the character. It's annoying, and I barely get any sleep then because I just go back and forth between waking and half-sleeping.

sometimes I fall asleep, but I'm still awake. it's kinda hard to explain, but i go to sleep, and I'm conscious of everything, and this causes me to wake up with a giant shock, making me feel like I just got hit by a lightning bolt of 6000 volts or something. it's very annoying.
