not sure if this fits or not, it would be nice to leave it open though as it is a cool topic to discuss

does anyone else lucid dream? if you don't know what it is here is a wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream

i do it quite often and have many abilities, it's truely amazing
i can fly, occasionally shapeshift, enter video games, beat people up lol, change weather, etc.

I have had a couple of lucid dreams. I haven't had any dreams that I remember for a long time now though. Have you ever had body paralysis before? It is scary.

i do that all the time, in fact i had one last night where i was standing in my bedroom in the middle of the night and a tall black demon sort of thing came around the corner of my doorway. seeing as i knew i was dreaming i had a bit of fun with it, walking through walls and such until i eventually just threw the demon through a wall

That sounds awesome!

I remember screaming in my dreams, but being out of breath.

Also, monsters.

I sometimes have dreams where I'm aware that I'm in a dream and I scream that I want to get out of Dreamland and go back to the real world! It's funny, I've never mentioned waking up when I did that.

I have a problem where when I have a nightmare, I cant control it.

Had a really awesome dream about flying around a bunch of transmission towers. For some reason, there were these two dudes sitting on a telephone wire talking about soup, but other than that it was really awesome. It felt real, too. I could swoop and dive around all of the poles and trees and wires. c:

Also, lately I've been doing lucid-like things in my dreams, without them actually being lucid dreams.
Like, sometimes I see something and go “that's not right, because I know blah blah blah”. I had a dream awhile ago about looking at a drawing my sister had done - like, this really magnificent picture of what I think was a person? (I can't quite remember, it was blurry) - and I thought to myself, “Wait, she didn't make this. My sister is right-handed. The strokes on this painting are at an angle that only left-handers would make.”
…So, I guess even when I'm dreaming I can spot some (removed by mod - please use language appropriate for all ages). But it sucks, because I still can't control the dream; only notice the flaws.

Still awesome.

I'm jealous. I mostly don't even dream (out of tiredom; insomnia or nightmares) and I sometimes randomly wake up in the morning (6:25am today) for no reason.

Am I the only one that doesn't get lucid dreams.

I have fun dreams all the time, but can't really control them much.

The lucid dreams I have are incredible. Some include thunderstorm manipulation, explosions in the nighttime city, DOING A KAMEHAMEHA, traveling in space, and even playing chess against myself.

I have no control over dreams. More often or not, they're 75% bad dreams/nightmares.

WHO WANTS TO SWAP DREAMS?

I have tried lucid dreaming, but the only time it ever works is when I am not expecting it.

I don't have many nightmares, just really weird dreams. Like last night I dreamt that I woke up and a gallon-sized milk carton was on my pillow…

I sometimes have lucid dreams…
It's very random.
But let me tell you first my dreams are WIERD.
I had a dream with a talking car seat one time.
But I had a lucid dream/nightmare where my dad was going to kick the bucket, apparently.
I eventually got out of there.
And I had one where I was in this large group of people and I had to PUBLICALLY announce to them they would be gone when I woke up.
That seems to be a theme in my dreams ; Meet some mildly interesting peeps, Do some other interesting stuff with them, and have the interesting peeps move to california/faraway place and then wake up.
And then there's a hundred other ones where I live in a mansion with my late dog milo.
Did I mention to you a depressed Winnie the pooh/ Kung fu panda lives there? Yeah… And maybe the ‘phantom mother’ that I only just realized was a dream after 5 years will probably be coming to that mansion the next time I visit…
I might say more later.
