Can't stop Dreaming at night

[astralcat]

I do lucid dreaming once in awhile. I haven’t explored how to learn about interacting with them and I don’t really want to. The only thing that disturbs me is that I don’t get a good nights rest when I have them.

And I would prefer to be dreamless. That would be bliss.

I’d prefer to be dreamless too. I hate having bad dreams but then I’d miss the dreams I’d have about my deceased pets . Sometimes they come to visit me and I have these very out of body lucid type of dreams where I’m totally aware that I’m dreaming and can manipulate my dreams with ease. Those dreams I do remember and they are priceless.

There is a good book by Matthew Walker called "Why We Sleep". It briefly discusses lucid dreaming. Apparently, only a small percentage of people are frequent lucid dreamers. I'm not one of them.

Yeah! Lucid dreaming isn’t an easy thing to learn to do and very few people know how to do it.You certainly can’t just learn to do it in a night or so. Most people who can do lucid dreaming have a very active 6th sense. ( something else most of us don’t use any more)

I remember it when I dream just before I wake up. I have had dreams that were so stupid, that in the dream I thought: This makes no sense or don't worry. I'm just dreaming. I had to pay loads or something. Ah don't worry. You'll wake up and they don't bother you anymore. As if you go back with the time machine. I made a huge debt and have to pay you back? Too bad so sad. Bye bye. Off I go.

Oh and if I didn't sleep enough a few years ago I had that I put my head down for the next night and just finished the dream. Had that quite some times.

I've seen articles that claim people can teach themselves to lucid dream. I've never tried the methods or dug any deeper into it. I believe I've had at least a couple of lucid dreams over the years. @Ted01

I never learned about lucid dreaming, but started to have them naturally. Many times they were wonderful colorful dreams, flying over beautiful scenery.....and I knew I was dreaming and took advantage. The bad dreams where someone bad was chasing me and I locked myself in a room and a hand started coming to grab me, I realized it was only a dream and I would be okay. Not enough good dreams of my past furbabies unfortunately.

I dream virtually every night and generally remember at least part of it the next day. Most of my dreams are enjoyable and, on several occasions, I have been able to return to the dream the next evening. I somehow don't permit certain people to appear in my dreams. People who have mistreated me or seriously irritated me get ejected. My brothers appear fairly often, but my mother and sister never do. It is common for me to dream about being back in the Navy. Favorite people from this forum have put in appearances.

It is extremely rare for me to have a nightmare, but when one starts, I change the script even if it means grabbing my Western Lever action rifle or jumping into my car.

So good to see you posting MDB. Seems like you lucid dream! I'm glad a majority of your dreams are enjoyable ones.
