I always have full control over my dreams
I have always had full control over my dreams for as long as I can remember.
I remember when I was 18 and I heard of the term lucid dreaming and wanted to see what the hype was about since they made it seem like some spiritual awakening where you find a deeper meaning to yourself, you can travel the world and all that good stuff. Then I watched videos explaining lucid dreaming, naming all these steps to follow and techniques that I tried and felt did nothing for me as it was a “normal dream” for me.
Fast forward to now I’m in my mid twenties and I have just come to the realization that I have been “lucid dreaming” every time I have a dream(since getting older I black out now due to lack of sleep and have no dreams sometimes). I had to really think about the fact that I’m ALWAYS able to change the scenario of my dream if I don’t like it, I can more than not always chose my actions and I also weirdly enough I can change almost every aspect of my dreams. Like when I watch something unnerving, when I’m in my dreams after I usually watch SpongeBob on a tv to keep the nightmares at bay or if it’s like a script going on the “art style” will change. I’ve talked with my siblings and my sister said she used to be able to do that but not anymore(granted she has a nightmare with one of the sibling dying every other day lol).
Usually nothing bad happens to me either. I usually never have nightmares, like ever and when I die in my dreams… the scene just changes. No matter the way it happens, everything just goes black then like a second later poof im in another scene like a game or movie. Its crazy because i have yet to meet anyone irl that has these same traits with their dreaming so that why i came to Reddit to see if anyone else could do the same? lol google says its an estimated 1-1000 people that can do this so im pretty sure there someone in this thread?
Sn. I can usually always wake myself up. I’ve never looked in a mirror before either.
