Recurring dreams....

I don't think you're talking about dreaming. It sounds more like a guided thought process. I read your answer to the first post and it reveals much more of what is happening in your mind. A saw the link in there for lucid dreaming, but I didn't follow it. I wrote a response based on a personal experience of a recurring dream. I thought that was the question. Oh well. My recurring dreams lasted for years. My mind had a mission. I didn't get to complete my college degree because of an illness. Over the years, I would dream I was a sophomore, then the next dream I was a junior all the way until I graduated as a senior. I think my mind really wanted that college degree! I can control my mind in meditation if I choose, but I usually let my mind find its own path to a higher level of understanding. Understanding how our minds and subconscious work is a fascinating subject I love to study.
