Dreaming...

[azurelunatic]

Some people don't act in their dreams. They can't decide things, they don't exercise Will. It's odd, and scary, to think of a situation where you are observing yourself doing something without your Will and active decisions powering it.

I cannot remember any dreams I've had where I have not been in control of my own Self. Even when I have dreamed myself other people, I've still been self-aware, deciding. I may not have been in a situation to effect any change, and I'm rarely aware that I am dreaming when I am dreaming, but I know who I am, even if I'm not me, and I can affect the outcome of my dreams.

really?

I've never heard of that. I've always thought that no matter dreaming or awake we've always had free will to do what it is our will to do. even if we are unconcious and don't really think that we are making the choice to do what it is we do in our dream. I think that real person we are deep down is always in control, and dreams are often a way for it to manifest. I've learned a great deal about myself from my dreams, I welcome the teacher...that is me :P

good point.

Guess what would be the rare thing then would be to have people aware that they're acting of their own will in dreams?

Odd, dreams are. But interesting, always interesting.
