Same, well once in a while I recall dreams. But they're always nightmares...

I don't generally. However I once set myself the task of becoming a lucid dreamer, and my dream recall got much higher (There are certain things you can do to try and promote dreaming). I managed to be fully lucid once (and partially another 2 times), then had some really horrific nightmares and decided dream recall isn't all that great.

I don't know why, but I'm failing at lucid dreaming. I used to be able to do it a lot, but now everytime I try to assume control things just get out of control, turn into a nightmare, and in general end up very bad.

I get that spontaneously recently. It both rocks and sucks, depending on the dream. The most horrific nightmare gets that much worse when you know its a dream, and you cant wake up...

I generally wake up pretty soon after realizing its a dream though.

Havnt had a nightmare in absolutely ages. Dreams i remember occur pretty randomly and not very often, and are usually about strange things from the past or stuff I can relate to whats happening in RL at the time.

Lots of people say that dreams can have meanings, and when you remember them you can sometimes understand what your sub-conscious is telling you. I find that to be true sometimes. A lot of people seem to dream about insecurities or fears - those are the ones that can turn quickly into nightmares.

Get a stable mental state and be happy in real life and you dont get the nightmares anymore. Overcome your fears/insecurities, basically.

I haven't had one in a while now, but I have a method for when I realize that I am dreaming. As soon as I think, "hey wtf this is a dream" I instantly cause myself to fly in to the air, or cause my car or whatever I'm in to start flying.

I just need moments that cause me to think "hey wtf this is a dream", which doesn't happen all that often.

This isnt lucid dreaming but its pretty weird dreaming

Whenever I have a nap in the middle of the day when i've been drinking the night before i have really creepy dreams that feel like im not even asleep, that im just spending my day normally. Often i'll sleep a few times during the day when im hungover and I keep dreaming this way to the point where I cant remember anything from my day and know if it was real or a dream.

Heh, I've had a good amount of lucid dreams - mostly "repeated" dreams.

You know, it's as if you're a character in a choose-your-destiny storybook, you KNOW what's going to happen next (in case of repeated dreams

) and you can do all matters of silly crap.

If I was to talk about the kind of dreams I had seen repeatedly, I'll never stop

.

Nightmares only occur to me when I sleep for too long, haven't seen any in quite a long while now.

I have dreams that start off where the last one stopped.. However, I somewhere a long the lines figured out that they were dreams and then they became fun.

I also have dreams that last in my dream world months or even years... always fucks with my head.

wow i didn't think that many people here who knew about this

I once played a vidio game where there was a new vidio game system that connected to your head and forced a lucid dream.

It's a neat idea. Why watch a movie, when you could dream a better one? The only thing that shot a hole in this game system, for me, was the whole mind controll bit...

Yeah...that was a cool vidio game. If you haven't played Dreamfall, then you should.

Where were we?

I don't remember my dreams. But I do remember my life. I like it that way.
