I wish I could have lucid dreams every night. These are dreams in which you know you are dreaming and become conscious and unconscious at the same time, so you can spend your time dreaming by doing what you can’t in real life, like saying what you really mean, flying, and spending time with people you normally wouldn’t. I used to have lucid dreams a lot as a kid. Usually I would go into one when I was trying to wake myself up from a nightmare, and got caught somewhere in the middle. Gradually these dreams got rarer and rarer. My most recent lucid dream was a few weeks ago, after years without them. I was snuggled in my bed with someone I really love and gradually drifted off to sleep, not expecting it at all. It wasn’t all too interesting… I was just in a living room and suddenly realized I could control what I was doing instead of just watching and experiencing it like a regular dream.
One dream I had as a child was set in the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. I can’t possibly describe it, but I know it exists somewhere in the world, and I don’t think I can honestly say I’ve lived my life completely until I find it.
