Thread: Realized i've been having this dream all my life

I have been on/off lucid dreaming for the last five years. Obviously, i have recorded a lot of dreams.
So it came as a surprise, not to say shock, when i discovered that this night's dream (me trying to rise up as high as possible in the air in swimming style - my nonlucid flying style - and trying to overcome air force barriers that sometimes happen to be there ) has been playing out frequently all my dream life and i haven´t noticed it before.

I sure have noticed that flying is a common theme in my dreams. But this particular dream action - trying to fly as high as possible with the help of my hands and legs, and trying to escape air force barriers and feel the freedom of it - have escaped my conscious awareness for all this time.

But, even more surprising to me, was that after recalling this dream, i can now remember that i have been doing this all my dream life. It is like a single memory has unlocked the memory of other events, which i now i have conscious access.

Imagine seeing a person and then suddenly all other memories come rushing to your mind, memories you didn´t have conscious access before. The same thing, but in dream time and life.

Even though i can´t recall in detail the other times that this dream behaviour had occured, i know they have occured as long as i have been dreaming. It surely feels weird to recognize this only now ***

I feel like i have reconnected with a deep part of me, of my dream life.

How i understand you Peter Pan !!!

*** I think i can profit from this, to use as lucid dream incubation, as it must be something that my subconscious mind seems to want to do. A natural bridge i think.
