Unlimited success, fame and power. All day everyday. They also try to act out these fantasies and make them into a reality to obtain even more narcissistic supply. These fantasies help reduce the feelings of inferiority, shame and doubt about themselves. Eventually they will believe these fantasies are their destinies until they grow older and realize they are not as amazing as they thought they would be. Grandiosity Gap

∙ 9y agoNarcissists are individuals with unique characteristics and personalities, just like everyone else. Although a person who has been diagnosed as a narcissist will meet specific clinical criteria, it would not be possible to say that all narcissists have only certain types of dreams. The dreams of any individual are unique to that individual and as unlimited as that person's imagination.

What happens in a lucid dream?

Why do some people have lucid dreams while others don't?
Lucid dreams represent a mistake in the mind - rather like a hiccup - that confuses aspects of awakening with aspects of deep sleep. Instead of the conscious mind being at rest while the unconscious mind produces dreams, when lucid dreams occur, some portion of the mind becomes conscious and aware of a dream taking place. Some individuals experience lucid dreams naturally or with very little effort, while other individuals cannot achieve lucidity while dreaming no matter how hard they try. This is nothing more than natural variation among individuals, similar to the ability to roll the tongue or whistle between the teeth. Neither variation has particular value or significance.
What is the opposite of lucid dreams?

Are lucid dreams real?
Yes, lucid dreams—which, for the uninitiated, are dreams where you’re aware you’re sleeping and can often control aspects of your dream—are real. While people doubted their existence for years, a slew of research in the second half of the last century put those doubts to sleep.The way researchers proved it is pretty cool. They taught test subjects methods to induce lucid dreams (there are plenty out there, if you’re interested), then hooked them to polygraph machines as they slept. The subjects had agreed to perform specific actions in their dreams when they achieved lucidity—actions that’d show up on a polygraph test, like patterns of eye movements or fist clenches; lo and behold, the subjects fell asleep, then gave the signals.For most, lucid dreams are happy accidents, but some suggest pursuing the ability to reliably lucid dream can help avert nightmares, alleviate anxiety, and even aid in physical rehabilitation.
