Dream Experiences

   I rarely remember dreams.  Some years ago I got to feeling inferior in this regard and started working at remembering them.  I kept a pad next to my bed and quickly wrote down whatever i could remember the instant I woke up (middle of the night or whenever) and I actually made some progress.  I got better at "tracking" my dreams.  After I stopped the writing, everything went back to the way it was before.  Now I remember a dream for an hour or so in the morning about once every 10 days or so.

	Migraines aren't supposed to wake you from sleep...that really stinks. What do you define as lucid dreaming, then?
	You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

	I have an active imagination - I often go to sleep while day-dreaming - consciously thinking about (or imagining) something and often I have found myself following the same "plot-line" when waking. I don;t think I could call those dreams as such. I also suffer from migraines that occasionally will force me to wake, often from a deep sleep - several times these migraines have interrupted lucid dreams that involved the kind of pain a migraine exacts - as a child this often involved my pillow turning into something from the Cars That Ate Paris.
	What?

	Mine have many recurring themes. One of the most common is driving a car into or through a flooded road. I never go under, just feel like I'm in trouble.

	Rarely ever. I wish I could, the few I have remembered have been pretty interesting and crazy.

	I have extremely vivid dreams (several in the course of one night) and I remember almost all of them. Many times I can swear I've been to the same scenes multiple times, but the more I think about it while awake, the less sure I am about it (nocturnal deja vu?) If I were a painter, I could do some really incredible things based on the things I've seen during the course of a night's sleep.

	No. And when I dream I can't even remember to look for my hands.

	I wanted to start a new subject to shoot the breeze about, so.... I think I have a fairly unique experience that it feels, to me, that I am dreaming continuously from the time I go to sleep until I wake up. Anytime I wake up, I could tell you what I had been dreaming. There is a set of dream where I literally feel like I'm walking through syrup in the dream, which I assume is some sort of deeper sleep. Last evening I was meditating and actually could feel the transition happening and had a little power over the process (not as much as I'd like). Unfortunately, I often fall asleep while meditating or anything relaxing.
