Controlling yourself in a dream?

Question

Most of my dreams seem competely controlled by me. There are the odd few that i seem to 'lay back and watch happen' unwillingly if you know what i mean....

I mean i control how things go in them, what i say, how i act and i even can wake my self up from them whenever i want. Like if i see a dream going bad, something that is too scary to go through, i just wake myself up out of them.

I really have no idea how to explain it in words.

Does everybody do this? people i talk to seem to not really understand.......

If so, why are most of my dreams like this?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

This is called Lucid Dreaming.  I do it as well.  Anyone can do it with practice.  There is a book called "Lucid Dreaming" you should read.  Find it on Amazon.

Answer 2

Maybe it means you are very in touch with your unconscious side.  After all, some people can't even remember their dreams, let alone control them.

Answer 6

Indeed, this is called lucid dreaming, it really means that you are falling in a stage that you are half awake.  In other words, you realize you are dreaming, but part of your subconsciousness does not want to wake up.  Feeling the control shows the will to take charge of the dream.

Some dreams may reflect your personalities, but others just merely means role switching, play back experience of your movie, media experience, and you just wanted to be the main character and that is why you had this lucid dreaming.

Answer 7

Dreams usually are the results of past experiences.Sometimes we just imagined things, like day dreaming and we can controll some of them, but dont worry those happened to me also. Just pray to our Lord Jesus Christ to let Him control your thoughts and you'll find peace. GOD bless!
