I have mastered Lucid dreams that is I can control the dreams that I am in and it is to the point that I can do any thing I want in the dream.  However, Am I harming my waking life by not letting a bad dream run its course?  I have many dreams and I love them all.

I, too, have the ability to control my dreams. 'Lucid dreams,' as you intelligently called them, are an extremely creative side of your subconscious/conscious mind.  When your conscious and subconscious are working together, than you've actually obtained a slightly higher level of spiritual awakening.   For you, the challenge should be to allow the subconscious and conscious mind(s, if you will) to work together in your waking life, as well.  Also, focus on meditation or solutions to questions you may have while dreaming.  I cannot offer you anymore advise than to actually use your new abilities to help you - whether it be to help you while asleep or to help you while awake.  The only difficulty I have with Lucid dreaming, that I still have to this day?  Occasionally I wonder how much rest I am really getting if my mind is working so hard all of the time.  Then again, I physically feel well, so it can't all be bad... can it?

I have a few times, and sometimes I dream in episodes or have found myself watching a movie, even seeing the credits go by as my dream was ending. The time I really remember words it was actually a screenplay. Seemed like it was telling me to start writing. Do you think that might be your connection? Do you do it often? Dreams are fascinating. Are you keeping any kind of journal? Are there repeating themes? Interesting. Maybe someone else can shed some further light.

Yes. That is called lucid dreaming, when you realize you are dreaming. Next time, try flying, it's pretty fun. Careful though, you could lose control, mid control and start flying upside down or hovering just above the floor! Watch a movie called "Waking Life" It's all about dreams and its a very, excellent and entertaining movie! One of my faves! :)

There is nothing wrong with dreaming,its a healthy thing as long as you spend time in reality as well and have a full life outside of your dreams.Learning how to balance,logic with creativity and dreams is another tool useful to learn.Keep a journal and log all of your dreams,perhaps you will better understand ur inner desires,and be able to face life more joyfully.

Lucid dreaming is a state of dream in which you are well aware that you are dreaming, where you are sleeping etc\n\nIn lucid dreaming the analysing faculty of brain does not sleep as in normal dream.  ...thus we are able to know dreams and even change our dreams\n\nLucid dreaming is very common with those who are regular in meditation....but some are born with this capability\n\nLucid dreaming may turn into normal dream or Out of Body Exp, depending upon the progress one makes in spirituality

Our brain keeps track of everything we ever see or hear, whether or not it's important to us. I've had some very strange dreams sometimes involving things I've never in my life thought of doing. Your brain can only compartmentalize everything it's seen when it's not being distracted by everyday life. During the day we're busy interacting with people, working, doing chores, even now as I'm typing, Im distracting my brain. When we sleep, it gets to deal with everything that's come our way. So what I'm saying is, don't worry about your dream. It's just a big ol' jumble of things you've encountered in your life, whether on tv or for real. I do empathize with your problems sleeping though. That's happened to me when I've had strange, bad or weird dreams. It'll go away fairly soon though.\n\nGood luck and sweet dreams tonight! :)\n\nP.S. I included a link to a show archive from Dr. Phil that you might find interesting. Last week he had a show dealing with sleep problems. One of the women on there had a HORRIBLE dream for the last 18 years.

I'm not responsible for the thoughts that come into my head.  I am responsible for the actions I take and the words that come out of my mouth. Looking and dreaming is not cheating.  Enjoy the view while you can.

One of the things I do is dream interpretation. And a rule of thumb in so far as dreams go and are they significant is ... IF you have the same dream over and over, or IF you have it only once but it has a real impact on you, like you can't get it out of your head, in these two cases the dream has significance. Other wise its just being overly tired prior to sleeping, the subconscious at work for what ever reason, something you ate prior to bed time, etc. And a good book on dream interpretation, and by "good book" I don't mean one of those that gives you lottery numbers based on symbols lol, might help you better understand the significance of YOURS. Or you might talk with someone well versed in symbolism, like a good psychological counselor or psychic reader. Hope this helps. :-) ~ Peace & Blessings ~

YOU have the Free Will and power to change your dreams.\n\nThere is something in this Universe called the "Universal Law of Free Will" and when you make a clear statement that is within Divine Love, all spiritual beings must honor your will.\n\nI wonder why you would like to stop dreaming? Are the dreams disturbing? Prophectic? Frightening?\n\nTo answer your question, If you wish to stop dreams one method to try before bed is to lay down, and say a prayer, asking for your higher Self and Angels to be present with you...\n\nAsk your Angels and Higher Self to please help you get a restful nights sleep, explain that the dreams are overwhelming you and you need some peace... and then remember to thank you higher self and Angels for theri help.\n\nThis should help!\n\nBlessings and Love

Dreams are created through our subconscious when you sleep,playing back images from events that you may have experienced or visibly witnessed.It is also believed that we have the abilaty to control our dreams (DREAMSCAPE).So it is pssible to decide what you will dream even before you sleep because the thought is planted in the subconscious before you close your eyes.Try it you might be supprised.

dreams are a way for your brain to let go of things it say while you were awake.\ndreaming is sometimes your subconscious letting you know what you really would like to do..\nlike people flying..maybe you either wish you could fly an airplane or maybe you wish you could transform yourself into a bird..\ndreams are very important to a healthy mind even if some of the dreams are not what you would consider healthy..

the same thing happened to me and it was a series of eight dreams.  the dreams happened several months ahead.  so when it was coming true one at a time, i was so scared.  the first six dreams were good but the seventh and the eighth were not.  so when the sixth dream was happening, there was a point that i have to do a move to make the dreams complete, i did not do the move.  i thought that if i don't make the sixth dream complete, the seventh and the eighth will not happen, and it did not.  \n\nduring that time i had several dreams also of different series and this was about basketball and i dreamt about the final scores of games.  all of it came true.  i mentioned it to my friend before every game and he would tell me that the scores were impossible to happen but it did.\n\nthat was just a phase in my life that happened for about two years.\n\ni do not know if his is stong sixth sense.

I believe that there is some meaning in our dreams but I don't think the meaning is so simple that it can be equated to a one to one relationship between the images we see and a meaning as many books on the meaning of dreams would have you believe. I think only you can decide what it means. Did you feel scared in your dream when you did it? Did you feel angry? Could it be a signal of some kind of stress or pressing issue in your life that needs to be delt with? I really think only you can know the true meanings of your own dreams but it might be a start to start asking yourself these kinds of questions.

yes it all depends on what kind of dream or nightmare you are having... if its a nightmare it could be a warning for you to be careful... if its a dream it may be that it can come true.... and it can only be a curse if you let it be...

Lucid dreams can be a lot of fun. Actively taking part in your dreams just means you have a very active imagination. I have gotten to the point where I can go back and change a part of the dream if i didn't like the way it was going. Try to have fun with them its like interactive movies.

You really seem like a kind soul. These days people have become selfish and go-getter with no time to spare a thought for another person and here you are wishing for everyone's dream to come true! Great! Well, I like it best when i have dreams at night (which i have most of the nights). The nights without dreams are like so vacuous. I look forward to sleeping at night so that i can see a new dream. For me dream world has much more charm than the real one.
