#roleplay' dreaming

I can't control my dreams like I've heard others can, but probably less than 5%% of my remembered dreams are actually about me or people I know. Almost always, I'm 'inside' someone completely alien to me - a young girl or an old man perhaps, usually someone from a foreign country and usually a different historical time. I have friends and family in the dreams, but not my own. My dreams are very vivid, usually very long, and very dramatic. But they're very rarely about me or anything in my life. Anyone else have this or know if it means anything?

    I don't know but maybe you can read "Many lives, many masters" by Brian Weiss. He explains something called past-regression therapy, which is a theory about healing patients with psychological issues by entering their past lives. Your description reminded me of that book, not that I believe it but may be helpful for you.
    He has many books and all are short and easy to read.

    This is pretty normal. When you're dreaming, you see what your brain is seeing and thinking of. You may have, as some people put it, have had a 'past life', although this is not the scientific explanation. Psychology suggests that you are 'creating' these people, with lives and pasts and complications, to step away from your own life and problems. Your brain is projecting the lives of others to escape from your own. You should look at your life and think about complications that you are facing, and ways to resolve them.
    This is all psychology and is in no way an attempt to offend or cause discomfort.

      Very interesting Cap'n...although I have great difficulty with your second sentence! Is it part of the psychological view that these personalities and scenarios I'm creating are in some way representational of my own problems? i.e. if I dream I am a small child who is investigating a forest and finds some very old fashioned discarded clothes...am I supposed to be able to find an analogue with my waking life? Because they pretty much all defeat my attempts at interpretation along those lines...often the level of detail is so great and obscure that I'm convinced I didn't know as much in real life as I 'created' in dreams. Anyhow, thanks for your response!
