I know that I'm dreaming and sometimes I can even control it. Like changing something to make the dream more likeable. I never really had a nightmare, if something is bothering me I just kamehameha the problem, eg dead people, flying coffin, unmanned black cars etc. ( yeah, I've watch too many dragonball :D ).

However, I notice something strange in my dreams. When I was still schooling I'm so afraid of floating/flying in the air. I've also afraid of going near water ( rivers, sea ). Now after graduating from U I can float so far up in the sky and the height didn't scare me. I can even dive into water and swim there. WOW! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

Yes, when I'm dreaming in the early morning (which is most mornings), I am aware of what I'm dreaming and that I am dreaming. Occasionally I can make decisions 'consciously' but I can't make myself wake up.

:( I dream like once every 5 months. My standard nightime is fall asleep, 3 seconds later it's the morning. [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img]

I'm pretty certain that I dream. I just can't remember it after thirty seconds of being awake. I really should start writing the little buggers down.

My dreams are usally fairly weird! LOL I don't have bad/nightmare dreams too often but they usually tend to wake me pretty quickly anyway. Still I'd love to be able to do that, LZ, just say 'that's it, I'm outta this dream!' and bam, wake up! Without the klonked head feeling, though! :D

I don´t remember my dreams very often (it comes in periods wheter its often or not), but when i do it´s not too unusually that i´m aware of that i´m dreaming. And if i´m aware i can control, mostly flying etc, but i did create a fryingpan out of nowhere once (try it).
And one time in a nightmare i could just press shift+esc to get out of there [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

I´m not fond of waking myself though since it takes some time and can be uncomfortable. It happens e.g that my eyes are wide open and i can see the wall in my room but are still dreaming, like half-awake, and its a struggle to move a finger.

And i tested the pinch-theory, i didn´t feel anything. :D

I only sometimes remember my dreams, other times I remember in the morning for 5 minutes, forget and cannot remember ever again.
My dreams rarely make sense, like one time I was driving a truck with my grandad mother and sister and we went in a fish and chips shop (even though I had just ate a burger in my dream) and it was raining, then we went outside and I played football with people in my year (and none of them were my close friends either). It was weird, that's the only dream I've remembered for ages.

(as in waking up and then fell asleep afterwards and you contiuned, like a "savegame" and then "loadgame") I tried and it works for some of my dreams but not all... As for me, forcefully waking up from a dream always take me a lot of effort.. not like "Hmm.. I don't like this dream.. I am waking up now" and poof you are awake...
I do this all the time, but when I continue the dream it's never as "realistic." Of course, that's because I know it's a dream by then, and that makes it less enjoyable if it's a good dream. If it's a nightmare, I usually kill everything, lol.

And I have the same thing as FSA, I see myself in the third person, but have control. Strange, huh?

Sometimes when I'm dreaming I'll be aware of it and know that whatever I'm dreaming about is going to have a certain climactic moment, so I'll be eagerly anticipating it, but then my dream will never quite manage to get me to that particular point. It's very frustrating!

Hmm, sometimes i can remember what I`ve dreamed, but only for about 5-10 min. than I`ve already forgotten it*g*

but while I`m sleeping i can manipulate my dreams a bit, not always but sometimes.
