Insomniac Dreams

Tweet

I am have borderline insomnia -I do sleep but for two to three hours at a time and usually with a six hour difference in between naps. I'm exhausted all the time but can't get my mind to sleep. During these naps I experience some rather strange dreams. The strangest part being that most of the time, even though the body of the dream was mainly running on it's own, I can sometimes come in and control the direction of the dream. Change the circumstances, the characters, even how I look. I become a real part of the action and no longer just a spectator. I heard this is called Lucid Dreaming. You can actually excersize your mind into letting you run the show. Thing is, I don't even try, it's just happens. Am I more prone to this because of my insomnia and not being able to shut my thoughts off completely? Any other insomniacs or anyone whose ever "Lucid Dreamed" feel free to reply to this.
