Is it just me or... ?

[goosi]

Sometimes when i stay in bed for a long time, you know nap after nap, i experience a weird thing... here it goes:
i start to dream, i see things, i feel things... BUT im aware of my body (the one on the bed). so i know that im dreaming but i can move my body too. weirdest thing that i can bend my dream. example: you dont like the color of your clothes in the dream, you can change it.
it's like im fantasizing but its not just a picture, YOU ARE LIVING IN IT!
i can wake up from it anytime i want. just need to open my eyes.

I've never had one myself but they sound cool

[Havoc10K]

They are cool, you should try.

They are very cool indeed, I had one once. It was pretty awesome. Sadly I've never managed to repeat the experience, though it is supposedly possible to induce them intentionally. I guess I'm too deep a sleeper to manage it under normal circumstances.

these tend to be quite common for me but they vary.

:O This used to happen to me when I was younger and came home from a school dance or something like that and it was almost like i was still there but lying in my bed. (i thought i was just going a little crazy). i must read more about this now.

Ahhh lucid dreams...i usually have these everytime i pop some shrooms, there awesome

[Ashall]

I drink coffee and tea too much, even late into the night. So I use allergy medicine to make me sleepy and I have lucid dreams all the time because of that combination. About the only time I can actually remember my dreams. I think I'm naturally a deep sleeper and can't seem to remember my dreams when I actually go to sleep for the night.

But I've never been able to control a dream.. I usually jerk awake before too long. Although I have to say it's a great way to pass a n hour or so. tehehe (my bf works different hours than me, so naps or anime pass the time till he gets home)

A nice recent video that might answer your question, enjoy.

They are called lucid dreams. I have them every now and then. They can be fun. The first thing I always do when I become aware of it is start flying =p

This sadly gave me a mental picture of a bald Leonardo DiCaprio riding a giant buffalo.

I'd watch this.

Happens to me a lot. And it can be a little... weird... Like, the knowledge that you're living a dream is very Matrix/Inception paranoid generating feeling. Like the "Did I dream I was a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man" thingy.
Or I’m not a very good Dream Bender or there are some things that make it just not as good as it sounds. I can say that there’s a set of “powers” that I generally can call on: flight (sometimes only a slight hover…), moving through objects (mostly just glass and windows…) and underwater breathing (it feels weird, like heavy air). So it’s not very good…
