Don't know if you've experienced this, but the weird thing about flying dreams for me is I actually FEEL like I'm flying. Don't recall ever feeling in regular dreams. Never do anything exciting though-just flying round a boring old lounge, looking down at stuff.

Oh when you're flying in lucid dreams you most definitely FEEL it, Jill.

If the level of lucidity is strong I will constantly analyse the experience as it happens. Studying my surroundings, feeling the warm soft breeze (it usually tends to be a warm soft breeze) washing over me. Changing direction, going higher, swooping down to the ground.

In one lucid dream I flew low over a calm blue ocean, stretching out my arms either side of me I slowly revolved so my hands cut though the surface of the water in turn. I was joined by some dolphins who swam just under the surface, keeping up with me. I was going at an incredible speed. The feeling of exhilaration was overwhelming.

I've floated around my house too. Just lifting my legs up and letting myself drift upwards and around.

Lucid dreams are experiences I would wish on everyone. Sounds wet but they do enrich your life.

I've only ever slept walked during a bout of severe flu. That was a pretty intense trip!

Oh dear. Ive tried to enter this thread, although if I tried to type my sub-concious occurences you would all probably make me stand in the corner facing the wall.

I pretty much experince what Chromebaby has described, although If I ever felt a soft warm breeze or touched a dolphin, this usually indicates Ive wet myself. Ive flown, although my lucidity usually involes violence, although I completely know when im dreaming and can change whats going on.

Or do we know we think we know, and therefore we dont know?

I get sleep paralysis alot. And whilst dreaming with this, usually im about to be attacked and cant move, I mess with my head and experiment how long it takes me to get the 'real world' limbs moving again.

As said before (shindig?) I cant punch in my dreams. Its impossible.

My dreams are usually in B&W.

I sleepwalk, to an extent, it usually involves dreaming im somewhere with no doors etc, and in the 'real world' im wandering around my bedroom. As soon as I open the bedroom door (and a few times window ) I get back into bed.

I could go on.

Two things about dreams:

Firsly, I've been having dreams based on Grand Theft Auto 4. When I was playing the game yesterday, I became fascinated with how the bodies move when you keep shooting them after they're dead (ie the force of the impact pushing them about). I killed some fella and then kept blasting him with shotgun shells and a rayt close-up with the sniper rifle. In the dream, I got shot dead in some kind of shootout, but I could still think and talk.

Secondly, and I think this is based on me reading this thread and others like it on the internet, but I've started to have dreams with limited lucidity. I'll realise that something isn't right (for example, the plane I got on turned into a monorail and then a rollercoaster), and go "hang on... This is a dream, isn't it?" But I don't know how lucid it actually is, I think I'm just dreaming that it's lucid. Because instead of being the god of the world that can make anything happen, I just decide to ask the nearest girl to get her tits out. Considering one of the responses was a begrudging "alright, but just this once" I don't feel I have the authority I should have in my own dreams. And I always start waking up as soon as the realisation starts, so the dreamtits don't really seem real... I'm already out of the full immersion by then.

Have I said too much?

I dunno, on a thread where people have fantasised about flying, walking through walls, swimming with dolphins etc, there's maybe something kind of endearing about that

The worst dream ive ever had is where i ended up sort or wrestling with some guy and i got stabbed in the gut right up into my ribs and it hurt like hell, i woke up and it still hurt. It was bad because i was struggling to hold his arms away and he swung the knife under my arms into my gut and it was so realistic theres a tiny part of me worries it may be some weird premonition like thing, like my mind telling me thats whats gonna happen.

[deadmansrockports]

your obsessed with stabbing JT!

This has nothing to do with anything really, but last night I had the most brilliant dream about time travel! Wasn't lucid though-don't think I'll ever crack that one-shame how brilliant would a lucid time travel dream be? (ha, ha I'm starting to sound like Paul Whitehouse character in the Fast Show )

[shindig]

Ant and Dec gave me relationship advice last night whilst they were on trial for their shifty telephone dealings. I chased after my girl (generic blonde... can't recall much of her face) and somehow wind up on a packed bus despite not paying.

Dream ends. Unfulfilled.
