[aeroplanedreams]

Hi,

two nights ago i had a dream. It was an old skinny lady with white hair. she was possessed by something and in a circle with stones around her. it was in a spiritual shop. She got out of the circle and was licking and sniffing people. she came up 2 me and started doing the same 2 me. whatever was in side hr body wanted to get into mine. In reality my 6month old son was in my arms sleeping also. i new i was dreaming and was trying 2 wake myself up b4 the spirit or whatever it was took over. it was stopping me from waking up. As i was fighting it it decided 2 try and get my son 2 scratch me in the dream that it.(reality he was still sleeping and i new this even though i was in the dream) I new that i was wanting 2 physicaly stop my son in the dream but couldnt as i would hit him in real life. I finally woke myself up and my son was safe and still sleeping. It has been on my mine all day. Can some one please explain.

There are many different levels of lucid dreaming - only rarely am I completely lucid - having the exact the same personality in the dream as I do in real life. Usually I am semi-aware of my dreaming, and try to manipulate things, but don't take the full advantage of the lucidity and regret what I could have done upon awaking. Other times I am aware I am dreaming but I'm in this crazy 'id' state where i am either violent or hyper-sexual and totally destructive, so opposite my waking self its hilarious to friends and boyfriends I describe the dreams to afterwards. So yes, you did have a lucid dream, even if was a little confusing and convoluted!
