Lucid Dreaming

Hi Louise, well Lucid Dreaming is where you are aware that you are dreaming, and are able to control your dream. Essentially meaning that you can create another world where anything is possible. You could go anywhere you wanted, fly, interact with dream characters etc. There are several techniques that can help you achieve lucid dreaming, but there are some people out there that are actually natural lucid dreamers. As for the psychology and counselling, its never too later... I went back to uni at 41 and I am actually really enjoying it. I thought my studying days were done, but obviously not.

@Lnoony thank you for the information. I never experienced lucid dreaming but is it possible that I could still experience that? I think I do not want to miss the fun lessons in psychology and counselling. I will check in our universities here. Also, you do not look like 41. I thought you are in your 20's.

@Lnoony well I think you could have considered me as a part of your case studies. My problem is such that I day dream alot.

@Lnoony really? and its that safe? your techniques? actually that kind of dreams usually comes when I sleep in the sleeping quarters in the office.

It sounds like you are almost at the point of lucid dreaming there. If you could manage to stabilize the dream, you can turn it into whatever you want. I have some techniques for stabilizing the dream if you would like? Lucid dreaming is so real you will also need too perform a reality test to ensure you are actually dreaming.

Really Joshua?? Was it something you tried to do? Or did it happen naturally? If you were actually trying to have one, were you successful in stabilizing the dream? I can understand if it happened naturally how it would be scary. In my late teens I suffered from sleep paralysis regularly and it was awful! Now of course when I don't suffer from it, I know what to do and what it actually is...... typical!

Hi Debashri, really? How interesting! I did not know that, would you be able to give me any further information?

Awesome Lucinda, thanks for that! It is a wonderful thing to be able to learn to do!

@Lnoony wouldn't work for me - I have to hit the loo the minute I wake up.:-) Just noticed you're from Brizzy. Great to meet another Aussie on here.

@lynnief lol! Yes that could prove to be a problem! Good to meet you too :). I do live in Brissy, have done for the last 8 years. However, I am originally from the UK.

Hi Lynn, it does work better with those that have vivid dreams and remember them on waking. However, if in the first 5 minutes of every morning, before you do anything, lay there and try to recall your dreams...you may find you can remember more than one and with practice should have no trouble remembering them.
