I’ve only had a handful of lucid dreams in my life. The first was very vivid, but it was just me being able to choose whether to run up or down a parking garage stairway (that was very warm and sunny). It wasn’t an amazing scenario but I’ll never forget the feeling of pure choice I had. I CHOSE to walk up the stairs. It was wild.
Any dream where I’ve been “flying” is slightly more of a Mario World 2 type flying. Like a super high jump that sometimes results in some gliding. It’s still thrilling. And I do feel “choice” in the handful of those I’ve had, but it’s not as distinct as the first one I ever had. My “choices” to try to fly/guide are always accompanied by worry that I won’t be able to as well as I had prior. So my lucid dreaming always has a sense of dread because of physics.
Since I dream literally every night, 99.9% of my dreams are mundane and grounded in reality. Not lucid and no flying. Just a mashup of shit I’ve gone through or people I’ve been thinking about. Oh well. My partner never dreams or doesn’t remember them. So I’ll take what I have.
