Little known fact: Your mind cannot fabricate facial structures,  so everyone you've ever seen in a dream, you've met them in life.

Where'd you find that? Would that still be the case for someone who does work related to faces, like artists? Why couldn't someone take features from tons of faces to make all new ones in the dream itself?

How would this translate for non-humanoid creatures?

Mostly interested as my dreams tend to feature things that lack faces.

No, I wouldn't imagine that would transfer to non human things. 

I understand your faceless dream plight as well, I'm constanly chased by shadow people in all of my dreams.

Ah, and yes, these people also share our problem

It doesn't matter if you've actually remembered the person. Occasionally your subconscious memory  will retain someones face that you may have seen for a second.

I spend quite a bit of time on my dreams, sleep takes up a third of your life. Might as well understand it.

Sleeping is probably my favourite past time and I quite enjoy nightmares but can only have them if I'm cold. Every dream I have is a lucid dream and they completely depend on what has happened in my life lately although some can be odd balls. When I remember to, I sometimes try to take control of my dreams kind of like inception but so far it has all been duds

Every dream I have is a lucid dream ... When I remember to, I sometimes try to take control of my dreams kind of like inception but so far it has all been duds

But that's what a lucid dream is: being conscious that you're dreaming and being able to control it.

I wonder if it happens to others often but I've had 'reverse-nightmares' i.e. I was the one doing the chasing and horrible stuff to others in the dream.

Also sometimes I dream from what I would call a 'narrator' pov meaning that I'm not in the dream (kind of like a movie in fact).

By the sounds of things, you don't have lucid dreams at all.

If you were completely aware that you're dreaming when you dream, controlling the choices you make within the dream wouldn't be that difficult (on most occasions anyway). As a lucid dreamer myself, I know this from experience.

For example: I had a dream once that a tidal wave was going to crash into my house and I decided to calm the ocean. The ocean became calm when I imagined it calm instead.

Mind you, that doesn't always work. Sometimes my subconscious takes control and the tidal wave comes crashing anyway.

I am completely aware that I am dreaming every time I dream, I'm just still trying to work out the kinks of controlling them and bending it to how I want them to be

For example: I had a dream once that a tidal wave was going to crash into my house and I decided to calm the ocean. The ocean became calm when I imagined it calm instead.

 I've never thought of doing that. Then again, I try to make the tidal waves come, that and tornadoes. They make the dreams more interesting. And I actually feel that feeling in your stomach when you go on a roller coaster, its so awesome. Originally I didn't cause nore control it, but I learned I could. I've always been a lucid dreamer. Most of my dreams are boring and mundane, and in a world that's pretty limited. Perhaps wanderlust frustration poking through?

I used to have real nightmares alot. Then starting around 13, I started fucking the person chasing me trying to kill me. Then at about 16/17 I often became the one to kill the killer. I've torn apart alot of zombies and people alike in such dreams. I have them types more when stressed out though.

I always see multiple moons in the sky. I remember when I was young, my obsession with astronomy basically began that.
