I have never met another someone who had as much control of their dreams as I do.

My ex-husband used to have terrible nightmares that scared him so much he would wake up, pass out from fear, and then suffer some awful side-effects from the fainting (nausea, vomiting, etc). I had a really hard time sympathizing for him, because I have always been able to realize I am having a nightmare and change the course from terrifying to not-so-much, I couldn’t understand why he couldn’t just do the same.

My current partner also has issues with dreams/nightmares, but I am more understanding now, because with age comes wisdom and I know that not everyone has the ability to realize they are dreaming and take control of the dream.

That’s a tremendous power of your dreams! I’ve had a few lucid ones, the occasional recurring one or a stop-and-start continuation, but usually they’re just trying to give me insight into what’s going on in my small corner of the world.

I also have very vivid and lucid dreams. I often find myself forcing myself to stay asleep just to see how situations will turn out. i believe there is always some reality in our dreams, something that has happened or will happen in the future.

I’ve been able to control my dreams for years! It’s called Lucid dreaming. So I know exactly what you mean about skipping the scary dreams and going right to the stuff that makes you feel good. I can pick and choose what I want to dream about. It’s like being the director, producer, and star of my own movie!

carma, I ponder the exact same thing! It appears to be more common than I had realized.

“all the people in the dream are illusions” – interesting; Every now and then I stop to ponder whether we all really exist or not – weird – I know!

I hardly ever remember my dreams and when I do, it always seems to be the “weird” ones I remember.

If that makes you weird, we can be weird together!

So I never really thought about it but I do this too. I roll over, go back to sleep, and finish my dreams. I also have a handful of reoccurring ones too. Does that make me weird?
