I have did not try to become a lucid dreamer I just am one, someone actually told me I was when describing a dream.
Anyways, I have insomnia but when I sleep it is usually a lucid dream. I enjoy it but sometimes my dreams get really scary and I have to force myself to wake up, which sucks when you finally sleep with intractable insomnia.
In my dreams I can only control my actions. I am aware that I am dreaming but I can't figure out how to control other people. I occasionally get dreams where I am attacked my someone and if I get shoved up against a wall or something I can feel them doing so which freaks me out and makes me want to wake myself up. Is there anyway to get control of other people?
I also get dreams where I dream that I'm not sleeping and I drink water and eat and I can taste the food and I feel like I am awake, which makes it difficult for me to tell if I'm sleeping or awake.
And the other night I was dreaming I was checking the clock because I had to wake up and each time I did so the time would be completely different and when I'd try to wake myself up I'd get sleep paralysis and I'd hear my mom yelling at me to get up several times that night which I think was due to hallucinations from the paralysis. When I woke up though I was thoroughly confused for a few hours because I couldn't tell if I was still dreaming since my dreams feel so real.
My dreams are so real that it's almost like I'm in a different world, which is fascinating but can be scary at the same time.
Does anyone else experience these types of dreams?
