Dreams and the such?

Question

so ive been talking to my friend about dreams

we were bored at one of their houses

and the way they talked it seemed like when they have dreams its more like how the movies portray it. crisp. very visual. more like an actual experience even if something totally strange happens. sometimes they say they can realize theyre in a dream.

when i dream i never realize im dreaming. or that im awake in my dream. or whatever. i really dont have conscious thought in my dreams. its wierd to describe. everything seems far away and very snappy. nothing happens for very long. thinking back its like watching an old home movie with the blurriness and white lines. i really dont know.

am i over analyzing this?

Answer 1

Lucid dreaming is when you are conscious in a dream. You think, "hey this is a dream! I can do whatever I want to do!" Then basically you can change things in your dream...like make unicorns appear. The human mind is very powerful. Now, it is very hard to have a lucid dream. Not many people have them. You are not over-analyzing yourself. Don't worry.
