Vivid Dreams

I am a vivid dreamer.  Think of the most crazy, lovely or horrific events one can imagine, and I have probably had a dream regarding it.  I’m truly not bothered by this since it is almost an adventure every time I go to sleep.  Most of these vivid dreams occur during REM sleep, or the ones that we can remember.  According to some these dreams occur constantly during REM sleep.  Individuals that wake up right after a dream usually have a better chance to remember what happened.  Normally the next morning I can recall pretty much everything that has happened during the night.  Lately I’ve been plagued by zombie dreams, but I can attribute this to a particular game I usually play before going to sleep.

On occasion though I have experienced what is called Lucid Dreaming.  This is where a person is aware that he or she is dreaming, and can actually manipulate experiences as the dream happens.  I’ve actually been working on this somewhat with myself in that I would to control my own dream sequences.  Two of the most interesting lucid dreaming experiences I’ve ever had happened several years ago.  My grandparents have  long ago passed, but on occasion I have dreamed about them and remember having vivid conversations about current events in my life.  It was absolutely fascinating to be able to converse with them, even if it was only in a dream.

So are you a vivid or lucid dreamer?  Leave your comments below:
