[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1397785, member: 7464"] My dreams aren't coherent enough for lucid dreaming. Often, there isn't a definite "me" in them. It's kind of weird. There can be several characters interacting, among whom I will sometimes associate strongly with one or the other, but rarely actually see anything from their point of view. There's no "me" in that I'm aware of the thoughts and decisions of the characters, but I do not consciously participate in them, and "I" don't have thoughts and impressions of my own. Now that I try, it's really hard to explain. It's like it's me watching a play - except without me. The scenes are disjointed and weird, too, rarely maintaining continuity in location (house-street-hospital), people present (friends-superheroes-cast of Buffy), their overall situation (looking for shampoo-saving the earth from disaster-discovering a cheating boyfriend), genre (D&D-videogame-reality-scifi). Often all of these things are shifting so rapidly that when I wake up I have no way of explaining to anybody what the dream was "about," though it always seems sensible while it's happening. And that's if I remember my dream at all. I've often woken up remembering a dream, and then experienced the disturbing phenominon of forgetting it over the course of a few seconds [i]while I'm actively thinking about it.[/i] Disconcerting. This all probably has something to do with a certain level of sleep deprivation. [/QUOTE]
