Okay, there is a thing I call the general dream rule or simply the dreams rule, and its a thing I always have in my dreams, and if I go heavily against that rule the dream start punishing me, with either being annoying, creating a nightmare or throwing me out of it. This is a thing I never really seen anyone else talk or write about, so I would like to discuss it, I have seen people talking about do not rush things, remain in control and similar stuff like that, but nothing that really sound like the dream rule that I know of. Even before I had Lucid dreams, I had knowledge of the dream rule and it helped me with Lucid Dreaming a lot.

So basically, in a lot of dreams I have had I kind of aware of the dream rule and almost every dream I could could control myself I always had knowledge of the dream rule, if I don't know it, the dream punishes me when I do certain things that it doesn't want me to do. Most dreams have a goal or a thing it's trying to accomplish, and if you strive away to far from that the dream try and get you to that goal if you get to far from it, go against this to much and it almost always tries to punish me. Often if I find myself in a old dream I have had and aware of it, the dream if almost unforgiving if you don't try and make an attempt of doing something else, or trying to prevent something that happened the first time.

My best friend had a lot of problems as a child with old dreams, as he always had to do the exact same thing having them, or else a nightmare developed. First there was a blue man, watching, after a while in these dreams there was a green man, hunting him, then there was a black man (not race, just color) that came always made a single heartbeat noise, infusing complete terror giving him a split second to react. Why I wrote this is because he is the only one talking about the dream rule to me ever, as he cannot change old dreams. He said he haven't had these nightmares now as a adult, but I also think he stopped changing old dreams and having them less frequently.

Anyway I would like your thought about the dream rule and if you know more about it, I simply haven't heard anyone talk or write about it. Also nice if there is a similar topic or article about it, if there is I would like to read it.
