Controlling Dreams?!?
Lately, it seems like I have been able to control my dreams. Its really weird because I can just run around causing havoc and I don't get punished or anything- It is quite fun.
I'm not sure I am actually controlling it though- Its weird. Can you try and explain this to me? Does it happen to you?

I can control my dreams about 75% of the time.
Which means that I can do anything that I want, without getting in trouble or facing consequences.

It's better that you guys don't know what I do in my dreams.

I control my dreams, too- but then, when I don't try to control it, I get an actual dream.
Now only using this account to post in Miscellaneous, but when Miss_Webgal becomes a Scratcher I'm ditching this account.

Sometimes I can actually eat food- and taste it too- in my dreams.

You can actually learn to control your dreams. It just takes practice.

Re: Controlling Dreams?!?
I've heard that if you realize you're in a dream, you take control over it. I've only done that about twice, but it didn't work too well...
Once I get it, I'll speed along the highway in a Ferrari and crash the other cars as I go. 
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Once I finally got control, realized I was in bed, struggled for a bit, and woke up.

You just have to realize that you're dreaming, don't you? Then you can control your dreams...

Re: Controlling Dreams?!?
My dreams are at scientist testing stage. They consist of people I know, which in the dream are shown in extremely accurate detail, and then something random that had somewhat to do with something I saw that day.

Re: Controlling Dreams?!?
That's called lucid dreaming, where you know that you're in a dream and you can do anything. (edit: archmage beat me to it.)
Unfortunately, it's never happened to me and the closest I've ever come to it is when I asked my mom if I was dreaming, and she said yes... then I woke up.

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Controlling Dreams?!?
In 70% of my dreams, I know that I am dreaming. O.o I usually plan my dream whilst dreaming (like in my WTC dream).
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Re: Controlling Dreams?!?
You can plan your dream? I wish I could do that. Then I could also destroy police cars in that Ferrari rampage...

Well, I don't have absolute control like that, I only plan what it's gonna be about and sometimes the storyline. ^^

Re: Controlling Dreams?!?
So its normal....
Thats a relief.
I wouldn't really want to stop anyways- they are just to fun.

Really? I can't. Here are the 2 basic rules of my dreams:
1. I can't go anywhere I have never seen. well I can, but it won't be the exact same thing as it would be in real life.
2. I can't feel, smell, or taste anything.
Now that my problem is resolved, post your dreams that you controlled here and say what you did. Or just discuss controlled dreams.
