Hello I’m Jesse first off my spelling sucks but I need help understanding my dreams usually it’s nightmares of zombies I know it sounds stupid but I can feel the rough grip of my weapon the smell of gunpowder I can read and remember what books or signs say in other dreams it’s like it’s one long to be continued I can feel heat and the stickyness of my shirt the fear I had in them I can pause my dreams *most of the time* but I know I’m asleep I can fly by slowly flapping my arms sometimes I can’t pause or fly most of the time I can my family tells me I’m crazy for feeling items in my dreams and remembering l have seen myself die and getting ripped to shreds I remember the sound it made when I was being eaten I was floating like 5 feet away from my body and watching it…..please any help will be nice thank you
hi, welcome!
not sure exactly what you need help with though? sounds you have a very intense dream-life.
you can make it less scary if you want, using lucid dreaming for that, but asides from that, i see nothing crazy here.
I didn’t even know it had a name before yesterday what I would like help with is developing better skills in my dreams I like the scarryness of my dreams I know my dreams can’t hurt me any other skills I should work on ??
what skills would you like to develop?
are you aware you are dreaming in your dreams?
you can practise eg flying skills by setting your intent to do that and then try and see what works for you, just like you would with practising a skill in real life.
there are a lot of topics about this on the forum, so you could also do a search for a skill you want to develop and then see a lot of tips. Or check out the FAQs and tutorials 
I’m new to terms like I said I’m not sure what all I can do I thought everyone could fly and pause dreams how do I bring something from the waking world into my dream world like my cat?
I’ve never had a lucid dream over 5 seconds before, but I believe that’s possible by
- Imagining your cat behind you
- turning around
Thank you I’ll try that and I’m also getting wild asparagus root to see what else I can do
