yesterday I had a lucid dream In which I woke up but I was in a different room in my house and was severely disappointed about that fact so I woke up for real 35 seconds later because I jumped out the window in the dream

2019-08-23 14:34:45 UTC  

all I wanted was to fly out my own room window

2019-08-23 14:34:53 UTC  

Heh.

2019-08-23 14:35:40 UTC  

I had a cool dream while taking a nap yesterday. I was a junior officer aboard a cruiser that got up to some weird (but interesting and cool) shit while tooling about a fictitous island chain.

2019-08-23 14:38:31 UTC  

ever had lucid ones?

2019-08-23 14:38:44 UTC  

Close, but not quite.

2019-08-23 14:39:05 UTC  

Too much freaky shit to want to change it. Usually I just go with the flow.

2019-08-23 14:39:24 UTC  

so you briefly realize you dream but then forget

2019-08-23 14:39:50 UTC  

I think it's more like an underlying sense of knowing that I'm dreaming.

2019-08-23 14:40:24 UTC  

I only started lucid dreaming AFTER I managed to get good at flying inside my dreams

2019-08-23 14:40:37 UTC  

But I've had dreams when I was younger that, when I woke up from them, I would very briefly be convinced they were real. Usually the ones you really *want* to be real, like winning the lottery.

2019-08-23 14:40:46 UTC  

Ah, yeah, that.

2019-08-23 14:41:14 UTC  

damn that's a tall order

2019-08-23 14:41:17 UTC  

I used to have dreams where flying was no issue whatsoever. But over the past decade or so, they've more often been hop-gliding dreams.

2019-08-23 14:41:25 UTC  

but I guess personal flight is too

2019-08-23 14:41:32 UTC  

Hell yeah.

2019-08-23 14:41:41 UTC  

I'd give anything to be able to fly.

2019-08-23 14:41:53 UTC  

I had exactly ONE Lucid Nightmare

2019-08-23 14:42:17 UTC  

Ugh, sounds bad.

2019-08-23 14:42:21 UTC  

most rare kind as far as I can tell

2019-08-23 14:42:30 UTC  

I have plenty of false awakening dreams too

2019-08-23 14:42:40 UTC  

I could count the number of nightmares I've ever had on, like, two or three fingers.

2019-08-23 14:43:04 UTC  

most of my false awakening dreams involve me going to school or work, mostly work, im 29

2019-08-23 14:43:16 UTC  

sometimes im trying to come home

2019-08-23 14:43:16 UTC  

The most recent was this year, but calling that a nightmare would be quite generous. It was more like an unsettlingly dark dream.

2019-08-23 14:43:25 UTC  

I'm 39.

2019-08-23 14:43:45 UTC  

that one lucid nightmare was just a regular nightmare until I obviously realized I was dreaming

2019-08-23 14:44:04 UTC  

so I tried my best to imagine some heavy weapons and start shooting back at the raptors chasing me through the commieblocks

2019-08-23 14:44:14 UTC  

ooo

2019-08-23 14:44:30 UTC  

Yeah, I've never been able to actively change my dreams, to my knowledge.

2019-08-23 14:44:41 UTC  

oh yeah

2019-08-23 14:44:49 UTC  

also dreams where you harness power or use weapons

2019-08-23 14:44:55 UTC  

most of them involve harnessing lightning

2019-08-23 14:45:03 UTC  

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.

2019-08-23 14:45:11 UTC  

staring with intent at distant objects only for them to get struck by freaky lightning

2019-08-23 14:45:22 UTC  

the thunder from those still spook the fuck out of me

2019-08-23 14:45:28 UTC  

Jedi powers.

2019-08-23 14:45:43 UTC  

If I fight in a dream, it's usually something not unlike that.

2019-08-23 14:45:58 UTC  

I can dream at any hour soo long as the sleep is restful
