I almost had one as a teenager, but I woke up as soon as I tried to have sex
Error 404: experience not found.
P.S. happened with me too ;)
Only managed to do it once. Took me a few months of trying. Just wanted to see what it’s all about.
Same story here. I dream journaled religiously for a couple months, it happened once during that time, and then I gave up, lol.
Excellent. What did you do to make it happen?
Just listened to the instructions of my prof at the time. He said to fall asleep thinking about what you want the dream to be. So I spent the next month falling asleep with the idea that I would fly (used to have lots of dreams about falling).
About a month in, I was at a campfire with a bunch of people, stood up, realized where I was, and just lifted off. It wasn’t like I was superman, more like Neo trying to learn my powers, but got the hang of it after a few tries and was just soaring around the clearing for a bit.
Kind of a rush and I remember the feeling of accomplishment being much more than the actual events of the dream. Which makes sense because if you think about it, it’s just you in a dream. It’s not like you have access to a true blue holodeck.
Normally, I sleep too deeply to remember my dreams. I only remember them if I wake during them. However, if I don’t completely awaken, sometimes I can go right back into the dream, but I have some autonomy now and some control over the narrative. Like, I know it’s a TV show and I can change the script. I’ve always been able to do it, I feel like it’s a trade off for nearly never remembering my dreams.
It happened to me, but I only thought I had returned to the prior dream. I was imposing the old identities and situations to new images. Weird.
