@AnnoyinGoblin's story: damn I love how fucked up and disassociated that is from your own feelings. At any point during the dream past you at the door ad the erotic turn, did you feel aware od the fucked-upness but were you unable to stop? Doesn't need to have scared you, really curious!
I'm not sure about interpreting that dream tbh but obviously death and erotica and mostly blood are themes. Not sure if the desire for someone else to take charge is a thing? If I can bullshit for a moment, I'd say you desire for a big change in your life, and someone to lead you through it - a rebirth of sorts. Probably about 99% bull, though.
@averageguy17: bland is fine! Don't be scared to share please! I'd love to hear about bland dreams!
As for lucid dreaming, double edged sword right there. Yeah it's great to get you out of nightmares and you can do whatever you want all of a sudden. Downside is it takes extra energy, and if you do it too often you have to put even more energy in to keep yourself entertained or your grip will slip and the nightmares that come from that - oh boy.
At least in my case. This repetitive dream thing I talked about earlier was a result of a semi-long term of lucid dreaming come to a halt. These days I try to keep the reins loose, sometimes wake up with a "what the fuck did I just dream" moment (or day), and only interfere if I am truly terrified or want to oush one of my multiple dreams in a direction of a story I read that day or so. It's too easy to get obsessed.

Hmm... I will if I remember anything. The reason I used the word "bland" was to kinda highlight how... "unmemorable" the dreams are. Like sometimes, I'll try to force myself to imagine the scenario before the dream occurs while other times, it'll come naturally. These scenarios can differ from standard pocketwatch incident to suddenly gaining hypno-powers. Who the subjects are is something that I'll never remember. Unless it is an established character or person that I know, the subjects faces are usually blurry (though I can't tell if that was originally from the dream or just the fact that my memory could be lacking.)
Though one dream I do recall did end badly. It was going well, pocketwatch, zombie-walk, mantra, you know the usual. However, when "I" tried giving an unusual order, (I don't remember what order it was, but knowing me it could be something like "act like a chicken" or something), The person stops, looks at me, and says something like " I was just pretending, you know?) Bam! Woke up instantly. Don't know how I felt. Kinda like a mixture of surprise, disappointment, and maybe the feeling of getting blue-balled? It's funny how the one I remember the most is the one that I kinda feared about....
As for the Lucid dreaming, I don't really get it. What's the deal with nightmares, more energy and such? Can you possibly explain more?
