Self interpritation through lucid dreaming?

Hi guys, I'd like to share with you my thoughts after my first ever lucid dream, which was completely accidental.

After i'd had it, my dream gave me the idea that you could interprit your own dreams, in the sense that you could 'talk' to your subconscious whilst lucid dreaming. This would mean instead of having a regular dream, and going online for (often vague) interpritations if any actually exist, you could 'ask' your subconscious what it meant.

I've been trying to acomplish this again recently (Although i've been unable to lucid dream at all, and am having no luck getting anywhere near)

It was before I even started trying to lucid dream, I had one accidentally. And in it, I managed to summon another version of myself, and asked what a certain dream I kept having meant (In the dream, I was evading capture, but instead of jumping into a car and driving away, which is what I would have done in real life, I climbed down into the sewers and hid, which meant I didnt get caught). I then saw a flash-back of a previous incident in real life, where I wasnt sure I'd said the right thing to a friend. For some reason, I then felt like 'Going into the sewer' was in fact the right thing to do, and then I completely understood my dream. I understood that I had said the right thing, and the dream was telling me such.

To put this into context, i'm sure you will have seen a film or tv program where a character dies or has a dream, and they are in a white room talking to god, or an angel etc. This is exactly what it was like, except I was talking to myself. I managed to interprit my own dreams by communicating with the very source that created my dream in the first place. It was a fascinating experience.

Has anyone else ever experienced something like this?

I've only had one dream that I would consider lucid, but the only control I had over it was the ability to end it, which I did abruptly. (Scary dream)

I think that you are the only person that can truly interpret your own dreams. Because the objects and events that take place in our dreams are symbols created by our subconscious. Even though you can seek council from others to help in dream interpretation (based on the collective meaning these symbols represent) you are the only one that can understand what your dreams are trying to relay to you.

Interesting that you would have a conversation with yourself in your dream and even more interesting is that you saw an actual event in your life take place while you were dreaming. I think that's fairly rare, mostly because your brain uses symbols to represent what's happening in your life. Whatever you said to your friend must have really been eating at you.

I talk in my sleep,anyone else?

I have just put up my first post in this forum. Im regually experiencing lucid dreams! There are several ways to induce them. Great book called 'exploring the world of lucid dreaming' by Stephen LaBerge. I have started to really look inwards since the onset of these dreams. I have had conversations with a bear, flew around under the stars with a shape-shifting owl, visited other planets, looked down on the earth from space and many more life/mind altering experiences that has honestly changed me!

Happy dreaming
