I also didn\u2019t know that I could actually face fears, and do whatever I want in lucid dreams until I started reading a book about lucid dreaming last week. My biggest problem is knowing when I\u2019m asleep and when I\u2019m awake. For instance, several months ago I had a dream that I had to use the bathroom. I pinched myself to see if I was awake and it didn\u2019t hurt. (I had only been using the pinch test as I didn&#8217;t know of any other tests at that time) I was amazed that it didn\u2019t hurt, hence I was dreaming, but dutifully sat back on the couch for awhile. Once again I started for the bathroom, pinched myself and found I was once again dreaming! Amazing! Finally on the third try I actually woke up. This is just a sample of one my dreams. What I\u2019d like to know (and I don\u2019t know exactly how to say this) but have you ever heard of anyone else having trouble in that they dream they are going to the bathroom but think they are awake? This is not something that I can really ask other people about, although my husband of course knows about this problem. I hope you have time to answer this concern of mine. I won\u2019t go into any more detail. : ) Thanks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">&#8211;Signed Pam <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><br \/>For the Dream Doctor&#8217;s answer, click<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/inducing-lucid-dreams-2\/\" id=\"615\" option=\"com_content\">here<\/a><br \/><span style=\"color: red;\">Back to \u00a0list of <\/span><span style=\"color: purple;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/articles\/lucid-dreams\/\" id=\"28\" option=\"com_content\"><span style=\"color: purple;\">lucid dreams<\/span><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[3038,3048],"class_list":["post-35630","articles","type-articles","status-publish","hentry","category-lucid-dreams-question","category-lucidity"],"acf":{"article_id":"608"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/35630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/damwebserver.com\/dreamdoctor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
