Lucid Dreaming

Re: Lucid Dreaming

I did it twice

First time I did it, I realized I was dreaming. Then everything went white, and since I was only about 10 years old I didn't have any motivation to do anything at that point other than to wake up. But all I could do is open and close my eyes in the dream. It was pretty weird.

Second time, I was in some neighborhood, on a sidewalk, and all of the sudden I floated for a few seconds. For some reason, this one time I was able to figure out that doesn't usually happen, and I started lucid dreaming. I don't remember anything after realizing it was a dream, though.

Re: Lucid Dreaming

Ok, Well, I'm pretty sure I've done this before. Though, I'm really reluctant to be so sure because it's supposed to be really hard and I've been able to do it ever since I remember.

I just don't...wreck cars or anything like that.
I don't know, it's like the whole time I know it's a dream so I just use the time to wander around and talk to people. I don't know, it's controlled but I don't do anything interesting. I guess I'm not that creative, but it's fun to control stuff like that.


Gah, sounds lame.
But it happens often enough that I didn't think anything about it.

so, maybe I'm just an idiot.

Re: Lucid Dreaming

I said that it was pathetically effortless to differentiate reality from a dream while conscious. What's difficult is remembering to consider whether or not you are in reality while in a dream.

Thats not completely true all of the time. Most of the time, yes, you can easily tell what is and isn't a dream in reality. But after reading this last night, I fell asleep(no attempt to have a lucid dream was made). When I woke up was the weird part. More specifically, when I was getting dressed and ready for school. I thought it was real then, and I did all throughout the day, until my ride home from school. I started thinking, and for some reason I thought about getting ready for school. I didn't remember it that well, but I remembered one thing. I remembered having to use a keyboard and mouse to get up out of bed, walk around, and get dressed. That was when I got really confused. I still dont know what was going on. I'm not sure, but I think that I may have expirienced some type of sleepwalking. Anyone have any ideas?

Hey man, that sounds like a mild form of lucid dreaming. It would of been cool though if you would of been able to control it.

One way to "activate" yourself in lucid dreaming is to look at a clock (if there just happens to be one in yur dream) and then look at it again. If the time is different the second time you are supposed to be "activated" or whatever and be able to control your dream. Basically your consiousness is like "Wtf, thats weird" and as long as you don't freak out too much and wake yourself up, you can probably do it.

Edit: Those pills should come in the mail soon.

Re: Lucid Dreaming

I failed at lucid dreaming last night. I ended up chasing my damn kitty into the convenient store after he jumped out of the car window. He wanted some jawbreakers that he had left in the kitty litter inside the store. So much for seeing the stupidity in that.

Re: Lucid Dreaming

heres somthing to think about
if you EVER have to question yourself if you are dreaming or not, you are definetly dreaming.

[foolishwun]

Re: Lucid Dreaming

when you think about it lucid dreaming is just dreaming about lucid dreaming and what it'd be like
maybe try to fall asleep thinking about lucid dreaming as much as you can?

Re: Lucid Dreaming

hmm
anyone ever get that where your not really lucid dreaming but your kinda guiding whats happening a little bit?
or you start lucid dreaming, and the more and more you try and controll stuff the more and more awake you become, up to the point where your basically just trying to convince yourself your still dreaming?

Actually man, I know exactly what you are talking about. This happens to me sometimes, but usually I wake up because I get so excited.

I got the pills by the way. It was expensive as hell, but I will have results in a couple of days. I just hope that my exitement doen't wake me up too much.

Re: Lucid Dreaming

Hmm... dreams are a very odd thing. Dreams are like your brain is trapped in a different reality. I have a had this one dream where I am ice skating. Sometimes I have first person dreams, then other times I have third person but this dream was a first person. I am ice skating in the middle of a pond, it's nighttime and I am all alone. I'm just relaxed and skating around and then I suddenly fall, I flinch in real life and wake up. My heart is beating fast and I am extremely surprised I was actually asleep. But what I'm getting at is that it is really hard to tell a dream from reality. I have had another dream that I have had more then once. I had it a lot but only when I was little, yet I can remember it clearly. It is also first person, and I am in an empty room. My sister is in an adjacent room ice skating in complete darkness, except there is a spotlight on her. Apparently Barney cast a hypnosis spell making her ice skate forever. He is guarding the door and will only let me pass to save her if I can guess the password. 9 out of 10 times I would get it wrong and he would eat me, the other times I would guess it and save my sister. I know it sounds weird but both of those dreams have ice skating in it, possibly you can have things in your dream that triggers you to have it more then once. I have only had one lucid dream and it was very vivid. I was being chased by godzilla in the middle of New York. Then I realized that this dream couldn't be real. Almost instantaneously I woke up with my heart beating fast.

Tommorow I am going to train myself to be a lucid dreamer and try to manipulate my dream. Just before I go to bed I will think deeply about ice skating, hopefully it will work. I can't wait to find out .

Re: Lucid Dreaming

I've done this before. I can easily wake myself up from a dream, and even sometimes controll a LITTLE bit of the dream, but thats usually if I go to sleep while content or extremly stressed out.

I'll try it tonight, going to sleep, controlling my dream, and forcing myself to wake up.

You probably didn't do it.

Lucid dreams are very vivid and you have a good amount of control over the dream.

Re: Lucid Dreaming

WOW, these freakin pills are wierd. They work, and then they don't. I felt more awake while asleep, and in turn I can remember my dream, but did not lucid dream. I was pretty much in awe of how "vivid" my dream was. I wasn't too vivid though, but I remember the dream. I had super-man like powers and I was being chased by godzilla, who could shoot me with a gun. LOL it was insane.
