My grandfather can do this with onions.

Me too!!!!

But that‘s normal!

Lucid dreaming is awesome, especially if you can change the course of a nightmare by knowing it's not real.

I never get to do that, I always dream in third person

I could do it when I was a kid, but lost the ability over time.

I once went back to a dream I had the night before, when I didn't like the ending and created a different ending. But that was back when I was experimenting with lucid dreaming and programming my dreams.I haven't had lucid dreams for quite some time. Even so, I rarely ever was able to attain lucidity within a dream.

To be honest, I thought it was normal too for a long time. And dream-series, like tv-series, with cliffhangers and everything, basically on demand. I was also very surprised when I realized that most people actually can’t wake themselves up or change dreams at will. But as a punishment for extremely lucid dreaming, I suffer equally extreme insomnia (medication or no sleep kind of situation) and extreme, quite regular sleep paralysis. It’s rather unpleasant at times. Good with the bad and all that.

I can lucid dream occasionally and it’s the best!! I’m trying to do it more often, but it’s pretty hard. Once I managed to open many portals :O

That is so sweet!

I read a few studies that indicated playing video games can increase your ability to lucid dream. They linked it as causality, and not correlation. It makes sense to me, since I've been a lucid dreamer and a gamer my entire life lol

I love the flying dreams. And you are right, if you think about what you're actually doing, you will suddenly lose your ability to fly. Lol

I used to be able to will myself to fly in dreams. Was awesome.

Yes, I’ve done that too, only if it’s a good dream though.

If you don’t know what’s everyone’s “normal”, then whatever you experience is your normal and you do t question it. Same thing happened when I got glasses for the first time at 11 years old. I had no idea everyone could see the leaves in the trees from afar, instead of just a big blob. It was amazing!

I went 38 years of my life with undiagnosed ADHD. It happens.

I went through something similar. I thought it was normal to only be able to breathe through one nostril at a time until I got rid of carpet in my bedroom and got hard wood floors.

Same goes for color deficiency though - years went by where I thought that my perception of color was 'normal', and turns out it isn't. Sometimes things do slip by because you never think of it in a bad way to mention it.

You'd be surprised. Didn't know i had a deviated septum till i was out of high school. I had been to doctors multiple times a year. Asthma, allergies mainly. And no one else had said a word about it. 1 operation later and my nostrils are clearer than i ever thought possible. Doctors aren't perfect and things can be missed quite easily.

Surely their parents would have noticed this?!

As a child I had chronically blocked sinusus, Because I always had them I thought they were normal , Buy I was repeated punished for chewing with my mouth open., I NEVER thought tom say, whell HOE to a eat then?

True, your brain no longer tries to send signals to it. The doctors didn't find out I had a weak right eye until I was 10 years old, by then despite them trying the usual patch over one eye rubbish for 3 years it was too late. I'm now more or less blind in that eye

wait. wait. wait. how long would it take to shut down? what are the corrective measures?

Wait, really? Sounds interesting

And to correct it as a child, you put a patch on the good eye and the bad eye will have to learn to correct itself!. This is contingent of how early and the severity of the problem.
