Asleep and are aware of the fact that you are dreaming while you are actually dreaming? ?

Question

Have you ever been asleep and are aware of the fact that you are dreaming while you are actually dreaming? If so what?

Answer 1

Yes I have, quite a few times. I can't remember all of them but the other night I had a dream and some guy was trying to attack me. I stabbed him with a knife and he was about to stab me. I knew it was a dream and didn't want to feel the pain so I woke myself up. I hate having dreams where you know it's a dream and can't wake yourself up though D=

Answer 2

Yes... when this happens to me, I usually just take off and start flying around in the sky... its pretty sweet. It's only happened a handful of times though.

Answer 3

its like that in all of my dreams. especially when something bad is gonna happen or is happening. i tell myself that if it escalates ill wake up lol

but i still don't control the outcome. i just know that im dreaming.

Answer 4

yeh its aweosme, its actually called a lucid dream =D

Answer 5

Yes, once or twice.  Most recently, my father was speaking with my father's voice when I suddenly realised that that was a bit odd, so I realized I must be dreaming!  But as what usually, I quickly got caught up in my surrounding and forgot to remember I was dreaming, so lost the opportunity to do cool things like flying.

Being aware that you are dreaming while you dream is called 'lucid dreaming' and I have tried to learn techniques to do it, without much success.  Lucid dreaming is a good thing to do because

a) It means you are actually doing something while you sleep

b) You can do fun things in your dream and control your dream so that you can fly, or walk through walls, or visit amazing places you've always wished to go to

c) You can learn to stop nightmares

There are tons of techniques out there, most of them are listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_Dream

If you want to develop this ability, then go for it! :-)

Answer 6

This happens. There are people studying this thing it is officially called Lucid Dreams.

If You master it, each day You can become God for few minutes during the dream and do what ever You like. Seems You have natural predispositions for it so learning techniques wouldn't be hard for You.

Answer 7

Yeah.. That s**t is trippy as h**l.

Answer 8

Yes, and it allowed to me to manifest things into the dream, such as weapons and other paraphernilia.
