As a student of psychology, why we study sociology? 

I recently started my university life and my major is psychology..so it would be better if someone could elaborate it..

If I'm not too late to this discussion, definitively a lucid dream wherein you experienced an awareness of being within a dream.  To understand your experience it's best to know that all dreams arise from activations in the brain associated it's metabolic needs during sleep.  Our brain consumes about 20% of our total energy uptake, which is a continuous process even while we sleep.  These brain activations in sleep involve the same cognitive centers we use to navigate our conscious experience of physical/material reality.  Therefore, dreaming is a type of wakefulness or altered state of consciousness amid sleep.  The distinction in the brain between dreaming and true consciousness involves a distinction between the sort of stimuli or sensory information our brain receives and processes while in its divergent states of consciousness.  All dreams, including lucid dreaming, are a response to stimuli our wakeful brain amid sleep seek to interpret. Therefore, dreams and everything you experience within them are interpretations of stimuli that you perceive when your brain arouses amid sleep to service its metabolic needs.  In understanding what your lucid dream experience may signify, you should consider what sort of stimuli your sleep brain appears to be interpreting.  Focusing on the overall context of your dream, you were trying to escape a state or condition that you knew wasn't real or reality.  Was it, perhaps, a reflection of some social or mental state or condition you were experiencing around that time a year ago?    

Thank you for your consideration..acually that was the thing that there wasnt anything that stressed me during that time period..and these dreams were repeated after almost every 3 months so if there was anything that tensed me ,although that wasnt the case, that cant repeat after 3 months almost in a pattern..

It's definitely sounds like a lucid dream. Being unable to wake from a dream happens frequently, to me at least, usually in nightmares proceeding a sleep paralysis event. I'm unsure how well being unable to wake is documented in the literature' sleep and particularly dreams aren't well understood processes, so i'm unsure of a name for it. Does your dream experience have negative connotations? Otherwise why the need to escape; you could enjoy it - you can do pretty much whatever you want, although it is a subtle skill to control your dreams. If you really want to learn to break out of your dreams all i can tell you is that it is a skill i managed to pick up so i imagine it possible for others too.

well the dream starts just fine but then as soon as i realise it isnt reality then i felt like something hampering my way back to reality..

so you can say that it gradually becomes a negative one as it proceeds

i am sorry i couldnt respond earlier..

yeah i have experienced sleep paralysis too....but i didnt bother me much because i have heard about it and it seemed natural to me..

actually i was concerned about the condition happening in my dream...casually we dont control our dreams i mean consiously..but in my dream i can control it the happenings and other stuff just like i said i could move on my own..but i could everything except of escaping from my dream..coming to reality..

i just wanna know an explaination and out of curiosity if anyone has experienced it ?

about a year ago i had dreams in which i was full consicous...i can do whatever i want and literally move on my own but i couldnt wake up like i was trapped there and all things there seemed strange and hateful i dont know but i just wanted to just return to my real world but great effort i somehow managed to return..

but now i dont suffer from that but can anyone guide me what was all that because i couldnt find any explaination
