The things above are scientifically accurate. I am studying biology and human behavior, there are so many factors that affect your sleep cycle. This is just one.

Well done, AA. +1 :)

Hoping for something more detailed since I do both of those things already. I don't often get nightmares though, so...

Can I ask, how TO HAVE NIGHMAREs?

I miss em :(

If you want to fly in your dreams (these ones are the best, come on) you need to take the risk of getting a nightmare; and sleep on your back.

 

Write down on a piece of paper ''I'm going to fly'', ''I'm a pigeon'' or something similar several times before you're going to sleep... from my experience this works most of the time. You can even watch a video on youtube about birds (earth flight is pretty effective) or skydivers.

 

On the other hand, lying on your back does increase the change of getting a nightmare like Mr.Alpha stated.

If you're going to sleep on your side, you'll likely have boring dreams, or forget them when you wake up.

 

So be a pigeon..

Actually, I didnt read them anywhere though. I learned them from my own experiences.

I know what you mean, 4 years ago, I could prepose my own dreams)

[splitterpoint 10,986]

I know right!

 

I was always able to predict my own dreams... until I reached the age of 12. :mellow:

[beaku 2,656]

Only once in my life, I was dreaming and suddenly become aware that it was a dream.

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

I really want to have Dreams ._.

I dont get them often but when I got... not even 1/4 of what I wanted it to be :(

like I want to have an epic dream, it ends up to a drama ._.

Look at a picture of them before you go asleep, Normal works. I've never tried it but I have heard it works.

I rarely get dreams too. Maybe once a month. And then I don't even remember most of them.

I know right!

Yeah, I could actually control mine until that age. Maybe there's some scientific reason for it?

Puberty perhaps?
