Does anyone feel like you know that you are dreaming but you dont care, or that something in your brain stops you from doing anything?

I understand that it is possible to have lucid dreams, has anyone had luck acheiving this?

I have also been interested by the integration of your outside senses and the rest of your mind when you are asleap, I have had dreams where I can feel my bed, and I actualy know that I am in bed, and I even remember falling asleap after my alarm went off, and suddenly thinking "holy ****, it is 7:00".

I even vaguely remember sleeping with my eyes open when my room was extremely dark.

Any thoughts? Wierd experiances?

Frequently. Oddly, when I dream at night when I'm properly supposed to be asleep, I'm usually aware of it when I'm dreaming.

If I doze off during the day, I seamlessly slip into a dream that takes off right where my current activity left off. I usually don't realise I'm asleep untill the dream gets weird.

All the time, if you mean being aware one is dreaming while dreaming.

I don't smell things in my dreams. This is probably because my sense of smell isn't that strong awake. The other four I get in various degrees.

I seem to dream about zombies a lot. Then there was the other night- I went back in time to a hyper-paranoid 1954 with some gay guy I don't know, but in the dream he was my friend. He was in real danger from the Black Vans patrolling for non-conformists.
