How do you know

doesn't everyone dream in color?

it sounds like a lucid dream to me. did you know what was happening while this was happening? i mean, did you think "wow! this is an OBE/lucid dream!!" because i have had dreams that seem so real, that i wake up and start freaking out because i thought those things REALLY happened, and they were just dreams.

Actually a lot of people dream in black and white.  I'm not one but I know people who do.  Sounds to me like a lucid dream.

I can only speak for myself, but when I have lucid dreams I am completely aware that I am dreaming and am awake in the dream and there is never any doubt in my mind when I wake up that I had one. I always seem to know when I wake up in a lucid dream because I always test them by jumping to assure myself that I can fly and I am always in complete control of the dream from then on and can direct all the action.  If I had to guess, I'd say that you had a regular dream where you kind of phased in and out of lucidity, but it's only a guess.

oh, i ALWAYS dream in color. thats odd.

I've never had a lucid dream before, and i've only been able to feel and smell in a dream twice. I Hope you continue having these dreams! they are fun, huh? Its kind of like virtual reality.

But when awakened do you feel like your being pulled far back into your  bodies? You think perhaps there is a dream world? Or maybe a Astral World. I had control over what i did. I guess it was lucid. It was in complete color. I dont know ive been getting all these weird vibes of impending doom. And my dreams seem to follow suite. I dont know i feel like something has been going on that i havent been aware when im conscious and awake. I know these werent typcial dreams though because i had a disorientation feeling stronger then when you wake up casually. Maybe it was just being suddenly awakened from a REM thing that gave me these feelings. I have had an OBE once thoough im sure of. Is is regular to have control of whats going on in your dreams? I mean like control of yourself. These were probably just lucid dreams then i guess.

Well, i think i mite have had several experiences im just not sure. I think i had one this mornining even. They were both very strange. The first one I had this morning if it was a out of body experience was kind of like a dream. Maybe it was just a dream. I dont know. Well it was definitely a lucid dream in color. OK well. I remember sleeping in my living room in a sort of bowing position sitting on my knees. I think all of my experiences have been in this position except one. Well i layed my head fown and i was dreaming. In my dream which i doubt is relevant i was in the garage with a few friends. When i awoke i felt very very strange. It wasnt like an ordinary awakening. It was different. My mind was like muddled and my head felt heavy. I had a hard time raising. My vision was blurry and i just felt very strange. I even got a freaked out feeling like someone else was with me or something. Ok so i ventured to my room to continue my rest.
My next dream was lucid and in color as well. This dream i had much more control. I was walking in a city i knew, but didnt. I had control of what i was doing and where was going I saw picketors and these two old ladies and passed them. I continued along and I went into a McDonalds and met this family. I didnt know them or maybe i did, but we were very comfortable. I left them with my phone and went outside. There was a mom, a little brother, and an older sister. I orderer ice cream and it was weird. I dunno everyone was happy inside Mcdonalds or this ice cream shop. Outside it wasnt so nice. A Dark nite with a red tint. Ok so when i order the ice cream i got this very strange colorful ice cream. I remember walking outside or something and the girl had my wallet or something. I followed her outside and these people werw bothering her and wanted the wallet i guess. When they saw me they threw it back to her and shot it i guess and left. Then inside i asked for my wallet and there was no damage. I asked for my phone and i remember this strange thing in a circle. Like it was a camera or a dark black circle or something. It was strange. Im sure my dream would have went on a lot longer but i was awakened by a loud beeping sound. It was my neighbor honking their horn. WHen i awoke i felt very tired and similar to the way i had before i had gotten to my bed. It took me about a little while to get fully oriented again and my neighbor kept honking there horn. I think these two episodes or dreams or OBE took place in between maybe 130am till like 1243pm. So i dont know if i had OBE's before but it was weird. I just want to know if i had one. I also once while under the influence of marijuana laid my head and sat in the same sitting on knees head on floor position and actually felt myself leave my body. I actually went somewhere i recall. But this was awhile ago. Maybe like a month or two ago. Im pretty sure this was an OBE. Any comments? i want to know if these other two dreams or states were.
