How well can you control your self in your own dreams? What is your favorite Dream ability? +more

[TheWwwizard]

This thread makes me sad/angry since I don't dream or just completely do not remember them, kinda like: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around does it make any sound?

If you try to remember them as soon as you wake up you might have better luck, good luck in the future... Idk if this will help at all.

 

[IRaithI]

Enough said for those in the know.

You clever devil

 

[Bassman_2]

In my dream, I will sometimes know that it is my dream. I'm usually too stupid in my dream to realize I can control it so after realization I forget.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

]Can't control my dreams. Goddammit.

I remember one where I'm walking down a street in a shanty town, fallout style, with my best friend walking beside me. We spot a saloon, walk in get a drink and chat. Then gunshots erupt into the still air, glass shards fly past me, me and my friend jump behind the counter and draw automatic weapons. There's silence... The door explodes, they storm in guns firing, we return fire.
After 30 seconds of shooting, stabbing and hand to hand combat we are victorious with but a few cuts and bruises. We look at each other, I ask him if he knew who they were, he shrugs.
We then walk out of the saloon and continue our journey to no where.

...I have awesome dreams!

Damn you and your awesome dreams!

I am truly sorry for you.
Mine don't always go like that, but think fallout+COD+Left 4 dead+metal gear solid and you get the general idea.

In my dreams I can always control myself, and if I want to I can control the entire dream except some nightmares that won't disappear from my thoughts. Usually I prefer to see what kind of insane things happen in my dreams, like one time I had to fight a dragon to go bowling with my friends.

 

[TheWwwizard]

I can fuckin' fly

=( I haven't been able to fly in my dreams since I was really young.

 

[SpectralAnomaly]

My dreams are pretty unremarkable to be honest.

However, my friend once told me about a dream he had when he and Hitler were in a classroom at our old school, and they were planning an expedition to the North Pole to find a Magic Sword. It really makes me feel like i'm missing out.

 

[C95J]

I mostly seem to have no control over myself. I tend to be against bigger things than me with nothing to defend myself with, then running away only to find that whatever is chasing me is faster than me. My dream cuts off when it catches me...

That's just one dream anyway. Usually my dreams consist of things that happened during my previous day, just better.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

I have near abosulty control over myself in dreams.

I can feel stuff in them too. Like when I had wings in a dream, I could feel all the muscles, tendons, etc...

that sounds really cool, when I feel stuff in my dreams it's usually like I have a layer of dead skin over my body.

Depends much on the kind of dream. I have ones where I'm perfectly "awake", the kinds where I don't know it's a dream, and the like where I'm kinda both the character and the one writing the dream, like at some level I know it's dream.

Also sometimes in those kinds of dreams my personality is not my own, I'm more in a role of a a character than myself.

I have very often the kinds of dreams where I know it's a dream and can manipulate things. After a good nights sleep but while I'm still sleepy, I can usually drift into that kind of a state.

I like to create armies of monsters and fight them, fly around, and transform into various animals. I've gotten better at it over the years. The animals most easy for me are a cat, bat, and a snake (for some reason, that is by far the easiest form for me to take in dreams). Currently I'm working on a Velociraptor (or another dromaeosaurid) but getting the posture and the tail right is hard! I can't hold the form.

I don't know if playing video-games has made me better at it, though. Since killing zombies in a game is kinda different from visualising yourself doing it.

 

[Ampersand]

My dreams are surprisingly lucid. I can almost always control my actions, and in the ones i can't I hardly ever act in a way that i would expect myself to normally, even in the most extraordinary situations.
They usually involve some kind of conflict, ranging from battles with zombies to enourmous Lovecraft esque Gods. I'm not normally any more powerful then I am in the real world but i'm sometimes able to fly.
I get killed from time to time, which isn't exactly fun but it never wakes me up.(take that inception)

Usually my in dream deaths are accompanied by zombification or re-incarnation, never fought anything like Cthulhu though not sure what I would try to kill him with in a dream state... Unless I combine the power of Mint and Berry with a satisfying crunch.

Normally it just fades to black, although sometimes I get a brief view of what happens to the rest of the world after I die. Apparently my dreams like guilt tripping me.

Don't get me wrong I'd never fight a love craftian horror on purpose, but my dreams usually include some kind of extenuating circumstance like a child or a loved one who needs to be protected, which means i have to place myself between them and what ever the monster du jour is. It doesn't normally end well for me but once or twice i've actually managed to convince the creature to hug it out. Which incidently never works on zombies.

Got the southpark reference, very good. = )

 

[Mad Fast]

I occasionally find myself running on all fours in my dreams, it usually starts because I can't move as fast as I'd like or something along those lines.

Thats freaky, that happens to me all the time in my dreams too I am trying to run fast but can't and end up running on all fours.

 

[SnipErlite]

I hardly EVER had lucid dreams...and when I do, I only have limited control. I'd like super speed or something, that sounds cool.

 

[DazBurger]

Iv begone to love dreaming as I seem to be able to control just about everything that happens.

Haven't had a nightmare for years.

the closest I've gotten to shape shifting in a dream was going through an entire dream as a werewolf... which is funny because that's where I first had super speed/agility strength.I realized it was a dream near the end, which woke me up about 10 seconds later.

When I travelled to the land of nod, I found waiting for me a place of wonderment and fantasy; it was my imaginarium, my playground, my wonderland. There I wrestled the dragons and outwitted the demons; I laid waste to monsters and brought prosperity to the innocent. But in time, I grew bored of my own mind, and on a gilded bage I crossed the sea of slumber. On that far-removed shore, I found another world not unlike our own, where countless dreamers lived in their own imaginations; and without words they said to me:
"Illustrate; give form to this world beyond worlds, that all may know our beauty."

Then I woke up and resolved to stop huffing vinegar fumes, but not after I taught myself to properly utilize my mind's eye and imagination.

Also, I do interpretations and I've a clean track record. Any takers?

I don't know about you but running on all fours in my dreams usually feels really good and gets me moving pretty fast.

 

[Karakasa]

The wierd thing in my dreams is that I always die, thats what wakes me up.

How long in dream time were you there?
