I have had a few of what I’d call “psychic dreams,” information from outside my conscious awareness and seems to have a higher origin. For me, I can tell the difference between an ordinary dream and one to pay special attention to by how vivid they are, and how I feel upon waking up.
Sometimes, it’s a knowing, whereas other times, it’s a physical sensation that clues me in. For example, I often get goosebumps when I hit an idea that’s very important. That’s my signal to pay special attention.
Do you have psychic dreams? How do you tell them apart from more mundane dreaming?
Yep – I do! I pay attention to all of my dreams, and can remember a lot of them. A lot of the ones that are really important, I either wake up in the middle of the night, or my dog wakes me up, so I’ll remember. And many times, I’m somewhat lucid in the important dreams – I recognize it’s a dream while I’m in it.
I wish I was better at lucid dreaming, Kim. I guess you just have to practice and work on it, huh?
I hope this comes out right. Sometimes when I am awake I have nebulous feelings, and then when I dream it, they are crystal clear visions.
Makes sense to me, moozie!
I don’t get psychic dreams very often, but I do get intuitions that come out of nowhere and the only way I can describe it is “knowing.” It doesn’t usually come in the form of a dream, a vision, or anything else…it’s just a visceral sense of knowing something. Once in awhile I might get a little “hint” from a dream, but not very often.
Lucid dreaming, OTOH, I do from time to time, but I can’t control when it happens. It just happens of its own accord or it doesn’t. It’s usually the result of being very tired or stressed out.
I’m with Mabel so far as lucid dreaming, Dixie. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. There might be programs out there that will help with it, but I’m ok with it happening when it needs to. I don’t know how to “practice.” (If you find out, let me know!)
Well, I know I’ve seen stuff on becoming better at it. I’ve had the occasional lucid dreams before, but think it might be fun and rewarding to have more control over it.
I can always tell my “special message” dreams from my mundane dreams because they (the message dreams) are always much more vivid. And I usually wake up right after them. And there’s also an intense feeling around them. Even if the dream is pleasant and happy and full of love, I still have a really intense feeling when I wake up. Almost as if I’m being told: “this is important! FEEL how important this is!”
