Sorry if this is semi off topic but, I’ve always wondered if anyone else has been able to do this so I’m going to give it a shot just because well dreams lol::: When I was younger (pre teens as well as throughout, heavy reader vivid imagination) I used to recognize I was dreaming especially if something scary was happening ex: locked in a basement filling with water and the lights went out. I obviously started freaking out but then I stopped and was like no wait, I’m dreaming I’m not actually in danger there’s nothing to be afraid of, and just kinda swam around, visuals changed a little too it wasn’t pitch black and eventually I found my way out, another I was in the middle of the ocean fell off the boat was drowning, same thing recognized I was dreaming I wasn’t actually drowning and then, just started swimming, actually under the water though, the thought...remember you can actually breathe this is just a dream ran through my head and then I just like swam with the fish and shit lmao. I could also make myself have a dream again and after it started I would recognize where I was, remember what I didn’t like about the last time I was there so I would try something different.

It was some crazy shit. I have since lost the ability to do that, age I guess I’m 27 now. I don’t remember my dreams anymore that’s probably had more to do with it than anything. When I was pregnant I had some intensely vivid and violent dreams(3 years ago)that was the closest I’ve come to have the same control of my dreams or at least remembering and recognizing I was dreaming since. Just curious if anyone else experienced the
