More like nightmares, keep getting more tables while nothing is where it should be and my POS code doesn't work, that kind of shit. Had them for like 20 years after the last time I served tables. Was so bad I taught myself lucid dreaming so I could wake myself up when it got miserable. Actually lucid dreaming is a valuable skill but hard to get consistent at, I've had luck both getting out of nightmares as well as directing the action.

How did you teach yourself to lucid dream? Just curious as I have always been able.

There was this breakthrough where I was having a nightmare and I suddenly realized it was a dream and I could wake up. When I fell back asleep almost immediately, it was the same dream but I was conscious of it being a dream and was in control of myself.

Gotcha. Now that I really think about it, I think that I gained the ability to lucid dream, at about the same time in my life that I was suffering from chronic sleep paralysis.

I had a dream once where I became lucid, while floating around my mom's old neighborhood, so I decided to go visit everyone in their dreams. As I got to the places that I was going, I'd see that everything was different. For instance, the old restaurant 'Gitsis', on Monroe Ave, no longer existed. In its place was a bunch of palm trees . Anyway, I was across the street from there and I was talking to a 6 year old little girl. I was explaining to her that she was only a figment of my imagination, and that she wasn't real. She immediately raised her hand, pointed her finger , and poked herself in the eye , and said "Ow! If I'm not real, then why did that hurt?"
