Controlling your own dreams.

Just curious if anyone else has been able to control what happens in your dreams sometimes. I mean that you realize you're dreaming while in a dream, so you know nothing is real and you can do whatever you want. It's a type of lucid dreaming or something. Flying dreams are common too for people who have lucid dreams. It's actually been awhile since I had one. I'm probably smoking too much weed anymore, lol.

It's weird shit. If I tried to do something that I knew wasn't possible, I would wake up right away. But I got a little better and was able to do some crazy shit that I knew wasn't possible before I'd wake sometimes. But once I realized I was dreaming it made it hard for my subconscious not to take over and wake me up.

I've also done crazy shit in my sleep, like sleepwalking, and having sleep sex, lol.

I know I probably sound crazy, but there's gotta be some other lucid dreamers out there.

Ive managed to do it a few times. Not through practice but just becoming aware of my, well, awareness.

It started I was in a back of a van on a motorway. I was looking around when all of a sudden it hit me. I’m not in a car!!! It was a massive realisation feeling. But the dream didn’t end. Instead there’s my thinking rational mind present within a dream. So now I’m in the back of the van lucid, I open the door and throw myself out of the van onto the motorway. I knew it was a dream so I couldn’t be hurt.

I looked up to see 2 suns in the sky and though? Should I go to the sun? Nah, will probably burn and wake up. I know what I’ll try and fly. Couldn’t fly but I could jump about 80ft in the air on every step. Was hilarious.

Eventually I met my dad who burnt a pizza on the fire and I got into an argument about how pizzas don’t cook well on open fires. That sucked me back into dream then I woke up few moments later. Woke up to the living dream one might say…

Ive had it a few more times but never on my demand.

Very cool but wouldn’t want it to be frequent as it feels like you didn’t sleep lol

Well shit. You get it then. I have lots of flying dreams. Those are some of the best. I know to a bunch of you guys I just sound crazy, but it's a real thing, lol.

Cannabis will cause you to lose REM sleep, when you do cannabis all the time it fucks over your sleep quality even though it helps you sleep longer. For those with insomnia it’s a balancing act. I did cannabis straight for years right before bed, the moment I stopped I had very lucid dreams. I’d be interested in wether you got those dreams during a non cannabis use period. It’s the only time I’ve had lucid/vivid dreams.

There’s a Joe Rogan podcast and his guest is Matt Walker, really interesting guy, he’s a neuroscientist that specializes in sleep and how alcohol and to a lesser extent cannabis has on sleep. You can connect the dots with mj imo.

I can't remember the last time I went a day without smoking or vaping. But ya, it happens when I'm in a deep R.E.M. sleep. I had a good one a couple nights ago and I had been vaping and drinking beers. We chopped a plant that night, not that that had anything to do with it.

But ya, when I sleep deep, that's when shit happens. Didn't have any last night though.

Yeah meditation and sobriety at least from alcohol and ganja actually helped a lot when I was doing it.
