I can do that but only for a few seconds before I wake up. I think I did it when I had the dream of myself slitting someones throat, making them survive, and having a friendly chat with them as they sit there barely alive but slowly getting better.

Eh, IMO, if you are manipulating your dream, aware you are doing so, you cease to dream and are merely imagining.
it's really hard for me to say here.
my imagination is so honed and concentrated when i'm awake that i don't really know how to tell it was a dream or if i conciously thought of it. i kind of turn any daydreaming directly into a feature of my personal universe while rationalizing any difficult concepts i may encounter. i don't really remember any of my dreams; my subconcious is just that, subconcious.
how can you tell when something is a dream, and when something is a concious thought?

I can alter my dreams for a bit but then the dream just adds something in by itself that throws me off my imagination.
Also I often get dreams of just an image then later (ranging from next day to months ahead) I like see that exact image during my life. Freaky but kinda cool

There's a difference. When you're "Lucid Dreaming" you are aware you're dreaming, but it is still as realistic as a dream.pinky75910 said:

Never noticed how time seems to pass differently?
You might have a dream for only seconds but in reality you slept for several hours.
That's mostly because of the dream-free parts of sleeping, of course, but I doubt the dreams really only last seconds. Instead, I'd say that the subjective feeling of passing time is altered during dreams.
I realized i was dreaming once imagined myself in New York City committed grand theft auto ran some people of went into a cave climbed some steps into a light and left. I had no control over the cave part like someone who had more dream power then me said, "Qhat the hell dude? Get out!"
I heard the point of the spinning was that, if you could spin a full 360 degrees it meant you were controlling your body in the dream and not in real life and this would allow you to stay in the dream because of... something. OK, bad conclusion there, sure, but that's what I had heard. I'll try to look up that site though.Jovlo said:
A lot of times I've spoken in a dream when I knew it was a dream and then wondered if I spoke in real life or not. I also would like to say that I have no idea how long I've been in a dream because I can not tell how long the dream actually lasted. I've had dreams that took place over several days and I couldn't tell you about the actual passage of time when I woke up because... well, how could I tell?
I've also had dreams where I knew I was dreaming and when I realized it I tried to control things but couldn't. That was odd.
