I have always tended to have lucid dreams, which I thought everyone did for the longest time.
Anyhow, I've been wondering how to re-organize the panel on the Nieuport for a few weeks (okay, months), and last night I had a dream about flying the aircraft after the rebuild. She was flying wonderfully and looking great in the faux Clear Dope Linen paint, when it dawned on me to look down and pay attention to the panel.
Bam! There is was, laid out in a logical, very clean way, with it placed back from the cross bar with a beauty plate around it and seamed over it on the bottom.
I also noted that I had mounted the top sheeting to the fuselage in front of the cockpit with a strip on the side and rivnuts.
So I woke up, went downstairs, and drew it out so I wouldn't forget how I did it in my dream.
Later I was chagrined that I didn't have the presence of mind to look down and right to see how I improved the brake handle mount.
How many of y'all have lucid dreams?

I have very lucid dreams. In my dreams I can feel and smell the dirt or the hard warm feel of a metal vehicle. My jump dreams are so vivid it is like reliving the jump. Some of my recurring dreams are not happy dreams and leave me troubled when I awake. My wife can always tell when I have my “military” dreams. Usually she will go sleep in the guest room since I am very active.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I have some very vivid dreams. Some of them are very intense and border on being very stressful. I think it can be linked to certain blood pressure medications (beta-blockers). I have friends and family members that take a certain blood pressure medication that have the same issue.

Nine out of ten of the lucid dreams I remember are dreams of failure. Which I find both annoying and depressing.

Wondering if going to bed on a heavy stomach affects any of you the same way... Wife and I try not to take in calories after 7PM, even switching from nightly coffee to hot tea as she can't do black coffee. The idea is to go a min. 12 hrs. calorie-free (daily mini-fast) and not start again until after our morning workout (supposedly making exercising more efficient, something about burning reserves...I dunno). On the rare occasion that I do eat late, *especially* if I eat heavy and close to bedtime, my dreams are usually bizarre or outright nightmares. And it's always been like this, even way before I cared about living a healthier lifestyle, so I know it's not some guilt thing. And speaking of guilt, I think dreams are like Vegas. What happens in a dream stays in a dream...

Dreaming these days, scattery random stuff that drifts away within minutes of waking Lately most of the same here. Most of the vivid ones I remember... I don't want to remember.

Lucid dreams always take me back to my real early childhood. Had few accidents that left me seriously traumatized. Caught Typhoid at age 5 and spent 3 weeks of my just starting Kindergarten start Was locked away in an isolation ward for 15 days. Room with 35 beds and I was the only one their. These beds were cages to. No way out. Had over 110 blood tests in 10 days. Went in weighing around 50lbs and came home and was around 35. Before this I was 20 months old and snuck out the house through the screen door and loose my balance and fall into the Milk delivery box. I was screaming and my mother came running out to find me covered in blood coming outa my mouth. She told me to open my mouth and about fainted because what she saw, she said looked like raw hamburger. My tongue was ripped in half.
Lucid after those horrors will forever haunt me. Even getting those Freefall dreams that will get your heart started
Going on 60. and still haunted by those dreams. But in the morning, just wake up tired from waking up all night from it.

I've mentioned this before, but I had one years ago that involved SimHQ, where I'd "woken up" in a dream, checked my laptop, saw that my girlfriend had posted a series of Facebook pics displaying a rather trashy makeover, and she'd gone nuts in the comments when people had evidently not been very complimentary. Not wanting to deal with that mess just yet, I logged into only to found out that somehow she'd hacked the site, with Myspace style glitter graphics and Anime characters abounding, and you guys were holding me responsible and cursing my name. So I facepalm hard trying to figure out how it was possible that all this had occurred, then it hit me, I'm dreaming! With that, I went to my balcony, jumped and flew into the sky, enjoying a few moments of high speed flight, before my alarm went off and really did wake me up.
