Where can I go to understand more about the science behind dreams? I am very familiar, and we'll practiced with lucid dreaming, and I often times have very vivid dreams that I can recall in great detail.

I don't believe in astral projection or having shared dream spaces when you sleep, but I have a lot of experience with controlling my dreams.

Here recently, however, I've been noticing some bizarre occurrences and I've actually recalled some strange characteristics of my dreams, and I feel like they are somehow locked away in some subconscious level of my brain.

I'll give you the most startling instance as an example. (We're not talking about oogity-boogity shit here.)

>Having a dream where I'm in a massive gymnasium of some sort
>Immediately realize I'm dreaming and begin trying to seize control
>My dream is progressing along as I interact with things in the dream, it's paced out like a shitty movie with dull sensations
>Suddenly realize that things are not what they seem. Some earlier facet of the dream, which I completely forgot about is brought back to have a bigger significance
>Can literally remember being caught off guard by it and wondering why it is being brought back to the forefront of my mind despite being an insignificant detail I had forgotten about.
>Try to pull myself out of sleep, but it takes longer than usual. It feels like my mind is trying to distract me from waking up.

Anyone else with any lucid dreaming experience got any thoughts on this?
