Yeah, I've never been able to actively change my dreams, to my knowledge.
oh yeah
also dreams where you harness power or use weapons
most of them involve harnessing lightning
Usually the only time I can do that is during that special time of morning, when you're still half asleep and the dream is continuing in your semiconscious mind.
staring with intent at distant objects only for them to get struck by freaky lightning
the thunder from those still spook the fuck out of me
Jedi powers.
If I fight in a dream, it's usually something not unlike that.
I can dream at any hour soo long as the sleep is restful
although
Yeah, same.
I've had periods of 2 to 3 years in my early 20's with zero dreams of any kind
then a bout of nightmares
In most dreams, I'm not myself. Rather, I'm some sort of character in a story.
then a bout of lucid dreams
I'm always myself in mine
Of course, I've legitimately had moments in dreams that inspire plot points in stories I'm writing.
this one person had sound advice
and start mapping your dreams
ofcourse
Nah.
My dreams are far too silly to map like that.
If I could somehow hook up a machine to record my dreams on some form of video format, I'd make epic bank selling them.
this won't work if you ahve no idea where you are in your dreams
I worked long ago to have and maintain lucid dreams.
My dreams are far too entertaining, on the whole, to want to mess with the format. So I've never really bothered to do things like take "dream enhancers" (i.e. St. John's Wort) or learn to lucid dream.
Mostly let the narrative flow, because it's my mind attempt to consolidate past or predicted events with other possibilities.
the only dream enhancer that I know of is fish oil and I had mixed results
I do take Omega 3s.
it's doing somethhing but not enough imo
Yeah, straight-up fish oil.
I learned it because child-me entertained the Venom Spiderman arch of the 90s far too seriously.
I take it for other reasons, though.
the best way to control a lucid dream is to stay calm but good luck lol
And my dreamscape is the one place where I have absolute control.
yesterday my mind was so confounded my head started hurting for a solid 30 seconds
during the nap I had
and the very short lived lucid dream
