Thread: Have i been lucid dreaming all my life?

Ok,hello everyone.Im new.

I want to know if what i've been doing for most of my life is lucid dreaming or not.

Normally i would go to bed,and try to sleep,while trying to sleep i will constantly keep thinking of things. Soon i will find that my mind is awake while my body is asleep... (if that makes sense) If i panic i would wake up to find that i am "paralysed". If i stay clam i am able to "daydream" meaning whatever I think of will actually happen. If I want to be in school, i will realise that im already there....(that kind of thing).... however when im in these "dreams" im mostly watching myself.... and sometimes i switch between vewing myself and being myself... In most of my dreams I KNOW im dreaming...

is this considered lucid dreaming?

Oh yeah i also have dreams where i fall asleep in the dream...and actually start dreaming within a dream....

I'd say this is lucid dreaming. What you're doing is basically the WILD technique. Seems like you have it pretty well under control seeing as you can think about a particular place and be there. It's good that you've been able to do this for a while and you should most likely have no problem trying some of the techniques on this forum. Oh, and welcome to Dreamviews!

thanks!

oh and i do this about everyother night..... sometimes even mutiple times.. mmm...

When you say trying to sleep, have you been sleeping beforehand? Also, are these fully fledged dreams or short scenarios? I find I go through mini- dreams if I'm struggling to really get to sleep.

It is only considered a lucid dream if you are aware that you are dreaming, i think that you could do quite well if you worked on your recall, that can sometimes help get rid of the viewing problem, it seems asthough you are a person in the dream instead of just watching other people. Just work on your recall and your lucid dreams will definately improve! Oh, and

yeah these are full fleged dreams,and I have not slept before i had any of these deams.
