we are not aware in our dreams because we think of ourselves to be awake. I am beginning to learn to lucid dream I have quite a big intrest in dreams and lucidity. love your post

Great, All the things which you have mentioned are techniques which I used to recommend people to do and also which I personally use

@Thomas, Thanks for response, I have faced the same issues, I guess it is common to lose lucidity when shifting to a new dream.

You are absolutely right about the super power trigger, I have a super power where I run very fast without touching the ground (kind of hovering), which I feel like I have it in my real life too and forget to get lucid.

dear first of clear u what is life cosmic energy n when cosmic energy goes our life ends. we all have energy by birth n the same is utilised when do routine activities.in night during sleep firstly our body receive the required energy n excess energy is transferred into dreams n when finished return back to normal position enjoy

Greetings all. I am working on a paper on non-self characters in lucid dreams. I am specifically interested in spirit beings or supernatural agents (SAs) in lucid dreams. My impression is that they occur fairly often in my dreams and when they do they have a special kind of autonomous character to them. Can I ask: How often do SAs occur in your lucid dreams? Can you recount a recent lucid dream that you have had with an SA in it? When they occur what do they say? Have you ever asked them “Are you real or are you just a figment of my dreaming brain? Can you prove that you are real?” What have they done to prove that they are real? Thanks ALL for any insights you can give me on this…By the way would you classify yourself as a non-believer/atheist or a believer in SAs? Thanks again

Normally I can hardly remember my dreams next morning except little bits and pieces vaguely. last night I put your binaural beat recording to the test. It was like i was both dreaming and awake at the same time. My dreams were much clearer and no longer black and white but in colors too. Wow thanks http://www.unexplainablestore.com/

Ok, so there was this one time when i suddenly woke up in the middle of my sleep (happens often you may know it as sleep paralysis) and after a few minutes i slept again but, time i focused on my identity and i started dreaming but, this time it was different, i knew who i am i remembered and i didn't feel drunk anymore it was clear ( that feeling you have when you're dreaming like you just drank a few bottles of vodka) i could interpret things i knew what my dream was about i knew the people who were in it and it seemed very strange but, if i focused hard enough i could make people join in my dream. In this case i made my hot math teacher nancy come to me asking for sex ( it was a dream that i could control might as well have a little fun plus i was 15 back then) but, it wasn't easy when i lost my focus she would leave and i couldn't...(continued)

I really liked what you said, "apologize"
Would like to hear more on your experiences.

Hey Carly, It sounds like you are close to your mom. And no, it is not rare to act like your mother, especially being a mother yourself. My question is, why did you feel your body tensing? Relax. Have you had dreams before that had your mother in it?
Yes, when I have had a lucid dream, I would feel my surroundings and I guess I could say 'tensing,' but no. What you are describing is a 'tensing' as in pulling, maybe, since you mother says she had the same experience.

This may seem weird, but it is very much possible. You can dream as someone else or some other species too.

There was a chineese philosopher called Zhuangzi, who was butter in his dream.

Translation of his writings:
Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awoke, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things.
