ways of giving yourself dreams

[Takisho]

Excuse me?

[JustJono]

Yeah, what the hell?

Since nobody cares to do anything besides postwhore and flame I thought I might add a meaningful suggestion and possible answer to the original question posted in the topic of this thread. I will try to keep it short.

You dream on average about 5-10 more times per night than you remember. Even if you don't remember any sort of dreaming, you are a still dreaming. So the bottom line is that you are dreaming the same amount each night regardless of what you remember.

So how to remember the dreams we already have and influence or control them? No matter what you do, you must be prepared to have patience. This is not something you can accomplish in one night.

Your dreams mimic real life. Think of them as a liquid life with a touch of imagination. Dreams are many times related to current events in your life so the first thing you can do is think about dreaming, alot.. Think about dreams you would like to have. Think to yourself that you know you will dream and remember the dream tonight. Take this even one step further.. Write the letter D on the palm of your hand. Look at it multiple times throughout the day and ask yourself "Am I dreaming?" and then give yourself and answer and tell yourself why that answer is correct. This will eventually lead to lucid dreaming which is where I think you are eventually headed if I have the right impression of you.

Don't forget to keep a journal next to your bed. Every morning when you wake up.. FIRST THING you do is write down anything you can remember about your dreams.. doesn't matter what it is. This will aid you in remember your dreams because you are training your memory.

Just remember to keep with it. I could go on forever about this subject, lucid dreaming and oobe's. That stuff is for another post though.

Cheers,

You could go on a bit more about this.
I find it very interesting, but I really know nothing about this subject, so I have nothing to add. But apparently you do.
I think lucid dreams are especially interesting.

I find it interesting as well. At the risk of being dubbed a postwhore, continue, Synth!

What's an oobe?

[RobbyZero]

Wow that's some crazy intellectual shit there Synth. I knew most of it except for the training the memory thing, that's new to me. But Im too lazy to keep a journal diary thingy.

But seriously do continue..interesting....

one time i fell asleap with the lava lamp on, and i was staring at it right before i went to sleep. then i had a dream, i will tell you my dream, even though it is pointless.


i decide to take my lava lamp to school to show all my classes (for some reason) i get to my LA class and sit through it. at the end i use my lava lamp to telport to science, and it was lava lamp day at my science class, and our teacher was giving them away. They all looked exactly like mine, and he gave them away to everyone. then after the bell rings i telport to the A hall ( using my lava lamp) and the A hall is all of a sudden 1 feet high, so i have to crawl to get through. Then i woke up. Pretty stupid ayy?

[RobbyZero]

Whoa that's one sick dream....

Caution: Lava Lamps may cause retardation !

Yeah, the journal is a good idea. But I have only done it once (it gets tiring even after the first entry.) Are you sure dreams last 5-10 minutes? Because about two nights ago, I remembered almost everything in my dream and it seemed to be about 15 minutes long. I think the reason why I remembered so much was because I gained lucidity for about 3 minutes (during which I took note of how incredibly life-like it was - which helped become even more lucid.)

PS: what IS an oobe? I'll do some heavy research and googling seeing as Synthlight isn't online anymore.

[BluE_MeaniE]

I went onto google and searched "oobe."
I think Synthlight must have made a typo, and meant to write "obe" because all of the entries I got were "obe"s, as in "out-of-body experience."
But I could be wrong.

[JustJono]

Was not a typo. OOBE - Out Of Box Experience - or Out Of Body Experience. Some sort of altered state of consciousness (sp?). When I get more info (soon) I'll make an edit to this one, and make it two as long.

Everything you have just said I read in some book my friend had. Did you happen to read the same book?

Anyways, you can eventually teach yourself how to control your actions in a dream.

This is a site that talks about lucid dreaming, and how to develop dream skills.

There. Out of body experience. It's friggin' creepy and I'm too scared to try it.

[EDIT: after much googling, I have this question. ........That means an OOBE is basically a lucid dream, right?]

[Lupin_the_3rd]

yeah, good thing it's so cheap in all to listen to two different wavelengths...lol
