Hello! Yesterday I stumbled across a youtube video about lucid dreaming. It instantly grabbed my attention, a smile appeared on my face and didn't leave until I had read up about it. What I read, I enjoyed! Dreams have always intrigued me, not for interpreting or anything, but I have never had a dream in colour. Has anyone else had this? Does it mean anything? Anyway, due to this, I have sometimes known when I have been dreaming, like being able to wake myself up out of a bad dream etc. Back to the story, It was about 9.00pm, so a couple of hours before I went to sleep. I decided on my reality check was to try to push my finger through my palm. I did this quite often before bed. During the night I woke up a couple of times, I tried the reality check, and my finger didn't go through. However, when I woke up a third time, it did go through! I was shocked! So I tried it with a paint brush ( don't know why or where it came from lol) but it worked too! I can't remember any more than that, I just wanted to share this experience and see what people though about dreaming in black and white? Thanks, Eucid
