Usually around what age are you in your dreams? I think I'm mostly 20ish.
@YouInMyEye My dreams are usually first-person perspective, and they usually just seem to build off of whatever experiences I'm having around the time (there are exceptions, of course). As far as I can ever tell, my age in my dreams is generally my age awake.
I think I see myself as I'm in my 20s by default. Rarely I'm in my current age. Perhaps that's what I subconsciously think that "I" am in reality... ie 20ish myself in my current age/body...
@YouInMyEye I used to experience a bit of lucid dreaming. I could modify some things occurring in those dreams at will. If I start having them again, maybe I can be 18 again . . . though I'm not sure I'd want to be.😄
@Marc_T_Benedict @YouInMyEye
I have found that the more conscious control I exert in a dream, the more likely the dream will sort of fall apart and become disorganized, and I'll wake up.
When I am lucid in my dreams, I typically just let the dream happen as it wants to, and only nudge a bit if it seems stuck.
The dream is already showing me something, so changing it will just muddy that. The lucid part just lets me be mindful and pay attention.
@AskTheDevil @YouInMyEye My dreams are like broken records anymore. Be happy to change them if I could.😉
For a long time it was mid-twenties... but now I seem to be in my early 40s. (I'm 54.)
AND
In my dreams, the body I see when I look down is a male body. (One way I realized I'm trans.)
Wow... very interesting.
@YouInMyEye l don't see myself in my dreams, so l really couldn't say. Other people who appear in my dreams can be any age at all and very often are a mash up of 2 or more people
@YouInMyEye I'm almost never any particular age in my dreams. It's very rare.
@YouInMyEye hats a startling question. I’d say I feel late 20’s early 30’s. Which makes sense if you consider average peak brain development .
