After poking through the
nightmares thread on this forum, I figured I'd make a thread about plain ol' dreams, for one because I never have nightmares, and two because (good) dreams are superior and will not push or shove you down the stairs.
So yeah, I have a lot of lucid dreams, which are the kind where you're fully "awake", if you will, within the dream. These last me hours and sometimes I have a hard time convincing myself I'm out of it when I finally wake up...!
One that really struck me was one that I had about six months ago. I found myself on a massive cliff. I couldn't see the base or the top, due to cloud cover. It was easy to climb around and I don't really ever remember being afraid of falling or anything. It was actually fairly peacable on the cliff. It was a long time before I found anybody, and even then it was only one person, who was staying in a kind of cave. I can't remember the person's gender or appearance, but I do remember that because I had never seen anyone before, this person was very interesting, especially how s/he would move around and do various things. We had a sort of love relationship and would make contact, but never in a sexual way.
The dream went on for a long time, and I can't remember it ever ending, but gradually I shifted back into reality, and I was very confused and disappointed. I've thought about writing a novella based off of the cliff idea, but I never got around to it.
