Why do I Lucid Dream every night
For the last few years whenever I go to bed I always consistently am in a state of lucid dreaming it just varies in severity and intensity.
In some instances I am simply on a journey in wherever my mind takes me in others I am completely in control in a way that is similar to a hive mind. People in my dream exist but if I think something up it will happen.
For example last night I had a dream where I was back in my senior year of high school riding on a bus. I was surrounded by other seniors and out of nowhere I just started describing the ways in which I had control of the world and our environment around us.
The people just kind of were confused and I just started thinking of random things outloud.
Like look outside it’s raining, now the sky is pitch black, now we are in the middle of nowhere and as I said everything the world around us changed.
I remember talking about my real life and reality with the people in my dream like how i’m in my freshmen year of college and about student loans.
I’ve had moments in dreams where it feels like I as myself have spoken to my subconscious mind. In the past i was struggling with some life decisions and imagined myself in a train station. I thought to myself let someone in a green shirt walk past if I should do this and red if I shouldn’t.
and then I sat waiting and asking questions and just watching.
It feels like every night rather than waking up from a dream I am waking up and thinking back on a memory from that day because not only am I constantly aware in my dreams that I am dreaming my dreams are consistently realistic.
I also often have multiple dreams in one night. When most people go to sleep for naps or wake up and go back to sleep and they have those periods where they don’t remember those brief dreams they might have I always do. At most i’ve tracked 6 separate dreams in a night.
Whenever I mention this briefly to people in my real life they look at me like this is crazy but it’s been years of this.
When I was younger I became obsessed with teaching myself how to lucid dream because I thought it was cool. I did meditation and methods like looking for certain objects to signify I was in a dream.
I used to have an entire mall in my mind that I would return to in every dream. The stores would change with toys and electronics and the upcoming holidays.
Eventually something in my mind just clicked and when I started going to sleep it didn’t feel like my subconscious mind took over. It’s like thinking in the same way I do when i’m awake.
