Anybody here done this before? I've managed to find my hands a couple of times and realize I'm in a dream, although it doesn't typically last too long. I'm reading The Art of Dreaming right now, and I'm really intrigued. Anybody else read this?

woot, years ago. never have found my hands, tho..
I do have many nights where I know I'm dreaming, or I wake up in my dream from a dream, and once where I woke up from a dream in a dream after waking up from a dream where I had been dreaming.

You should work on trying to remember and trying to maintain the dream as long as you can. This is the first gate, or obstacle, to fully realizing the power of dreaming.

I rarely have a dream that isn't tramuatic.
Lucid dreaming is a good way to overcome frequent nightmares, or so I've read.

I think this is true. I sometimes manage to purposely redream nightmares I had, but this time, since it's steered by me I can observe the situation better and without the overfearful side that comes along with nightmares. Not sure if this makes sense... however. And it doesn't work always.

I've had two that I vividly remember. One was the typical hot chicks' tops flying off at my whim and all that, but the second as amazing. I was freefalling over New Zealand, and I realized I could control my descent. I started to fly for what seemed like 10 seconds before I woke up. Insane experience.

i get this quite often. it's great. then i try to stop myself from waking up.
sometimes i do wake up, but can force myself to go back to sleep and continue the dream.

I haven't had a flying dream in years, unfortunately. but when I did have them, holy shit - incredible fun.

see. I told you so.
He completely denies he's doing lucid dreaming for ANY sexual stuff.
I always tease him that as soon as he gets good at it, it's going to be all she-males all the time.
