Interesting post. I too have had many wierd and wonderful dream experiences some very vivid and easy to recall in the morning. Others not so much.
I find it interesting that you need to see your own hands - I will remember this for my next adventure.
Also, have you had any experience in a dream were you weren't actually yourself? You feel what you are witnessing is yourself but when you see a reflection it isnt your face ? Just keen to hear your perspective. Thanks.
