Hello, this is my first post here. Actually, this is really my first research into the world of lucid dreaming, so please be patient w/ me and my incredibly stupid questions.
Background info: I’ve been lucid dreaming for pretty much all of my life. I’m not just talking about the “I know I’m dreaming” part, I’m talking about the “I know I’m dreaming, I’ll see where this dream wants to go…oh, wait, I don’t want it to go there, I’ll just change it to do what I want.” I know very little about lucid dreaming, but I know enough to realize that’s kind of strange that I can do that.
Why my sudden interest in learning about something I know I’ve been able to do for as long as I can remember: Usually I’d lucid dream anywhere between about 3-10 times a month, but lately I seem to be having a lot more than normal, as in 1 every 2 days. A lot of my energy seems to be going into lucid dreaming. Also…I’m not sure…but I think I’m starting to reach out to the people who sleep in my area (I live in a dormitory). I know it’s possible to enter dreams, and I haven’t yet and NOR DO I WANT TO - let me state that again in case anyone missed it: I do not feel comfortable with the idea of tapping into other peoples’ dreams. It is not a skill I want to cultivate. However, if it’s possible, I think I’m seeing where their dreams are in relation to mine - it doesn’t look like this, but a way to explain it might be kind of like a table with different boxes on it that you can’t see into and knowing that those boxes belong to other peoples’ dreams.
I don’t know what’s triggered this, but I’m kinda worried I might end up in someone else’s dream one of these days. And if I do - how do I get out without doing any damage??? That’s my main question. My other questions are: how am I doing this and are there any good books that discuss this?
Okay, the newbie is going to go away now, thanks for your time.
