Lately I've been having very vivid dreams, that I seem to be able to control. I'm usually fully aware that I'm dreaming as well. I've recently switched medications to ceroquel a sleep inducing medication this might have something to do with it. Or my diet? Have any of you ever experienced Lucid dreams? And if so do you have alot of control about what you dream about?

Yea, and it was about the same time I started having really vivid dreams..
I dont think it really signifies anything..
And these days dont dream that much.. Not in ages.

still very interesting. My dreams are fairly static and don't really relate to any previous dreams I've had. Only very few have seemed like continuations of other dreams or even dreams where I realize I may have dreamed of that before.
I've had a couple of dreams that I've been able to influence, but never control or direct beyond waking up if I really dont like them.
I had it almost every night.. There was this mountain with a small path going around it to the top.. and had to walk on it to get to the top.
But there were thousands of others as well.. all fighting to be the one to get to the only one at the top. And had to fight and kill each other. Basically using swords, knives.. sticks and whatever..
Those dreams ended with me always dying before reaching the top, and falling down, usually with a few swords, spears or such going through my body. And always I woke up with my face close to the roof, and falling down on the bed in shock of some sorts. Usually sweating all over and feeling pain in the bits of me that were cut or stabbed through.
What I do remember of my dreams are that they are just really bizarre, with people I know acting nothing like how they really act. I usually don't remember my dreams also. I remember reading that if you write down what you dreamt about right after you wake up, it's supposed to help you with lucid dreaming, but I don't want to risk having someone find that and wonder if I'm completely insane or something.
This is something I get into for a while about once a year, but when nothing works, I just lose intrest.
@Shadow Dancer I will check out the book when I get chance and have some spare cash probably when I get back from London. Thanks for the tip.
Had another one where I was some kind of Samurai. I was fighting a dragon very vivid, It then passed into a field of buildings in decay where I took pictures and faced a cougar, I took its picture then got mauled. I woke up in a sweat, I can still see the claws now.
How do you know you're not dreaming NOW?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive had 3 vivid dreams in my life though, two I can still remember very well, and all three of them caused me upon waking to double check the operation status of the gun I keep bedside, they were that messed up.
Considering that, I'll stick with not having/remembering my dreams kthxbi
There's only one dream that I can remember that scared me so bad I woke up with a start. I was running through a field and a knight on horseback was chasing me with his sword and I woke up just as he was about to cut my head off.
This is just what I've heard though, and I've noticed something that might be a flaw in that idea. Have you ever been tired but not trying to go to sleep and you go back and forth between being awake and being asleep? Don't you sometimes have little dreams that seem to be in exactly the time and place were you really are, but you'll see things happen and then realize that they must not have happened? Well, it's happened for me anyway, which makes me wonder about that 4 stages of sleep thing, but it's not like I'm an expert and maybe there is a reason for that happening.
What you two have going on sounds pretty weird to me really, since my dreams are usually completely stupid and bizarre. And I can't really remember what I've recently dreamt, so it looks like you guys won't get to read about my dreams for now, but if I do remember any dream that's interesting, I might write it down.
hehe
One dream was really creepy, it was my house, only instead of in the little dale my house is in, it was in this huge manicured lawn, easily 50+ acres and it was dark outside but with a brilliant silver moon. I entered the house through the typical family entrance which dumps into the kitchen, and the house had no lights on, but the silver moonlight coming through the windows lit it fairly well, plus the kitchen had extra lighting from the fact that one of the burners on the stove was turned on, and had gotten red hot to the point where the metal had melted! plus there was something on the burner that was actually burning.
I walked further into the house and for some reason i turned into the laundry area, and there, on the washing machine, was the blender O_o ? and it was turned on and sparking these amazing blue sparks all around it that lit up the otherwise dark laundry area.
Its at that point I woke up, really really creeped out.
When I got a few years older there were cave men there. I ran faster.
