An interesting thing I noted about two dreams I had this week, and one I had while I was staying with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enotsola this summer: I realized that I was dreaming, and that I could get what was happening to stop if I could only wake up. (They weren't exactly nightmares, just... stressful, I guess.)
Though I do want to someday develop the abilities to dream lucidly and to extend this into out-of-body projection, I haven't been consciously trying for a long time. These were spontaneous incidents. I didn't really have any control despite "knowing where the exit was", but it's interesting to note nonetheless. It's a very curious feeling to know that there is this other world that I am usually in, and maybe if I just reach hard enough I can wake up and get there... as opposed to the usual dreams where I am not making any distinction between that world and this one.
What really amuses me about this is that, like South American and Australian tribes say, the phrasing applies equally well in the opposite direction. The only thing missing is that peculiar knowing exactly where the world is and that I could get to it if I only tried hard enough.
