Too many times we have dreamed and had nightmares. We can control dreams so much more easier than nightmares, but why? I pondered this thought many times and just came to the conclusion that perhaps we just can't control our nightmares as easily because of the scenario we are given in our minds in the dream world. I love flying dreams, it's super awesome! I have the sense of freedom of flying anywhere I want and enjoying the breathtaking scenery below me. It's a very different story when it comes to having nightmares.
What I do to wake myself up from nightmares is that I realize in my dream that it's not real and wiggle my toes in the waking world. Usually it pulls me out quickly, leaving me to stay breathless and scared of what I was recently dreaming about. Before when I was a kid I used to be able to remember a dream extremely vividly. I could recall what the setting looked like, the actions the people in my dream did step-by-step, and even remember what was said in dreams. Now I just open my eyes from a horrible nightmare, steadily and sometimes even quickly forgetting what I dreamed about a minute or less ago. Occasionally I cannot tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Forgetting what I dreamed about even applied to good dreams. It's sad when I can't remember the good dreams I had.
Have you ever tried to control your dreams? I was told that you can control your dreams! Take control of your dream and bend it to your will! I definitely believe that. Let me tell you one of the weirdest nightmares I had. As a young teen or somewhere in high school, I had a dream that Freddy Kruger entered my freaking dream. I tried to hide but he found me hiding. That's when I got out from under the desk I was hiding and wished that I had a weapon I could use to fend him off. Wouldn't you know on the table I find two fencing swords? I picked up one, he took the other, and we started fencing each other. I believe I woke up around that time, scared and very weirded out by that dream. Would you feel like that if you had dreamed that instead of me?
I tried to enter the dream world and try to take control of it whenever I was afraid. Alas, it has not been very fruitful lately. I always enter the dream world with the basic background image of what I can and can't do, and sadly I'd believe it. If I was told that I had no strength to fight back, I just couldn't. If I was told that my family instead had octopus legs, I'd still weirdly believe it. Rarely I'd be able to take control of my dreams and turn a supposed nightmare into a really cool dream where I can kick ass! I haven't mastered it yet, but I'm hoping to real soon! The question that still lingers in my head is, "what am I missing?" I'm missing a key thing that I did in all of those dreams that I took control of and not applying it to the current dream. Is it belief? Is it the mind control?
I've had a couple of weird dreams too, but sometimes I love those weird dreams! At least it's not a nightmare that plagues me at night. I once had a dream where I was an undercover Kids Next Door agent who had to fight in another war that the KND had gotten into. It probably wasn't the first time I had this dream of "fighting alongside the KND", mostly because I had a feeling of deja vu. The KND won the fight and we were all cheering. The rest of the operatives thought I was just an adult they saved, but Numbah One stated, "she has always been a member of the Kids Next Door even though she is 19 (as my own comedy relief, I wondered why he said I was 19 when I'm not haha), and I'm proud to call her a fellow operative!" I teared up because of the feeling of acceptance by my best friend who considers almost all adults their enemies. Of course a lot of them were having stirred feelings of the idea that there was an adult in the KND. Then somehow the post-war speech became something similar to a KND graduation. We all left together as friends going to college. That was just as strange since Sector Z should only be in middle school. Sadly, I woke up during that time because I had an incoming phone call that I missed. When I called back the second later and the person didn't answer, you did not know how pissed I was to be waken up from such a cool yet weird dream! Who else has a funky cool dream like mine?! -Cheers- I should mention that in this dream, I was able to control it. The thing I felt in that dream that made me believe I could bend it to my will and make the KND win the war against whoever they were fighting that time was power and strength.
Does anyone else try that tactic rather than just letting the nightmare flow through? Do you guys fight back in the nightmare? Well, thanks for reading my strange blurb on dreams and nightmares! Good bye and until next time! :)
