Lucid Dream thread

I've been practicing lucid dreaming for a while now, i've only had one, but they truly are amazing, better than any drug you can take..honestly. do you guys have any stories about lucid dreams?

 

I've had the ability to lucid dream when I want to and it happens sometimes when I don't expect it, actually often. I have a hell of a lot that I remember. It is truly quite fun and an extremely interesting experience. I think drugs and lucid dreams are two completely different things however. I'm often thrown into a semi-surreal environment that I've been in while awake and given a task. Having the ability to control yourself is damn cool though I have a lot to learn. Can't be perfect.

It's kind of scary because sometimes I find myself paralyzed, and it becomes very, very hard to breathe. I snap back in a strange state, gasping for air. Sleep paralysis is for full sleep goddammit, lol.

There's this couch in my house on the middle floor by windows and in the day it's easy to induce a lucid dream state there. Sometimes I have like multiple lucid dreams before I actually fall asleep.

Then again I might be confusing this thing I have where reality and dream become one, and I'm in a semi-conscious state, unable to move, hallucinating auditory and sometimes visually and my mind vastly controls the world around me and I'm expect to immerse into it. Well that's what happens if I fight a lucid state I guess.

There was this one time I was laying on that couch at like 11AM, and I entered that semi-conscious state and imagined I was watching a movie but it was real. However I had the DVD (wtf? I even remember the cover). Someone was at my door going "hello? hello?", and my mind told me it was the last guy on earth. I saw his treks across the deserts and empty cities looking for someone flash across my vision. He was looking for anyone else. I snapped back and reality slowly sunk in that that movie never existed, and the doorbell rang and reality came back completely. I got up to find someone asking about a bees nest on my porch. I wondered if he was the one in my dream. I've been thinking about it ever since. Immensely compelling stuff.

 

I've had lucid dreams quite a few times. I've been trying to practice it, but I've been pretty stale lately. But once, I had been just laying in bed, when a sensation rose through my bones and It was fucking absurd. I've had wild dreams, and I've had out of body experiences, but this... this blew me away.

The next thing I know, I have the insane sensation of being hurled through a wormhole. Anyone by chance remember that old Earthworm Jim game for Sega Genesis, where he's riding a rocket through a wormhole? Well that's basically how i felt except that i wasn't sitting on anything, or strapped to anything. My being was just zooming through what felt like a tunnel, or 'space' and I was scared. It was so real. I was LAYING IN BED, and the next thing I know, I'm thrusting through this warp-like experience. I couldn't comprehend what was going on, whether or not I was having an OOBE or a Dream. The next thing I know, the pressure I felt from being thrown into hyperspace, it stopped and i was standing there. Everything was so realistic, and I was pretty scared, because the waves that hit me were SO realistic.

It wasn't until it stopped, that I realized I was in some type of a clearing, and my tooth was falling out. That's when I realized that my tooth hadn't been loose, and I began to put the pieces together that I was still in bed, and my teeth solid in my mouth. So, I switched my conscious point between my Etheral body, and my physical body, and then just as easily went back to my dream body.

The best way to test the lucidity of the dream was to command my dreams, and the best way to do that was by trying to fly. I held my arms out and i slowly began to rise straight up.... and then kept on going, higher and higher. I was conscious of the fact that if you can't fly well in your dreams, it's from some insecurity, so I made sure to keep as much control over my flight as possible, and even tested it by letting myself fall a little, and then soaring back up, again in control.

The sad thing is, A lot of things happened, that were so amazingly vivid, and beautiful, and insane, but I kept going back and forth. I'd confuse the dream with reality, and I'd be afraid to do something in my dream, for fear of the repercussions. As for the epic rest, can't remember much of it, because at one point of the dream, I was so convinced that my dream was real, I didn't like it and tried to force myself awake

My consciousness began to slowly reel back into my body, and I could feel myself partially there. But of course, sleep paralysis had set in, which I was aware of... but it didn't stop it from being just as awful. I was moving my dream arms around, reaching for the side of the bed, but my body didn't move. I could FEEL my etheric fingers grasping for something, but my 'real' hand remained at my side, and it wasn't until i practically JUMPED into my body, and forced myself out of the paralysis... which left me with a soul-wrenching buzzing, straight to the core. It was the feeling letting me know I had just seriously GONE somewhere.

 

lucid dream just happen to me...I dont know if it is anything that I may have eaten or what....

But I had a really cool one a few days ago. James Dean. And a very realistic kiss. I could feel his lips on mine. Very strange, I know. I just remember trying to tell him to be careful (because in my mind, I knew he was going to die) and I thought, I cant change anything, so I just grabbed him and planted a big one on him......

....now Im painting a portrait of him.....

 

I've had one real lucid dream. I really want to get back to practicing it regularly, but I haven't tried it in a long time. But man, that one dream... I was only in it for about thirty seconds before I got too excited and woke up, but what got me about the whole thing was how DETAILED it was... I mean, it was crazy. I was in my old high school gym, talking to this guy from high school, and it might as well have been a perfect video recording of the guy... I mean sure it was a little wavy like an acid trip or something, but it was SO REAL. I also remember trying to jump, as I learned from reading about them, and it is true that you slowly float back to the ground Very interesting, a very powerful tool. I think that serious spiritual growth is possible through lucid dreaming, and it is definitely something I want to practice regularly in the future.

 

I've had one lucid dream in my entire life, and it was a while back. I remember I was in a meadow of just pure grass, and there were rolling hills. I made myself super bouncy and I was bouncing all over the hills spinning around laughing my ass off. I decided to go to the planets (it was similar to the planet factory in hitchhikers guide to the galaxy) and there were all differnt types of planets everywere and I was jumping on all of them and I couldnt stop laughing i was so euphoric. I was flying around all over the place. In dreamtime, this only lasted like 3-4 mins, but it was amazing.

 

Professor Propaganda - that experience you had of almost falling through your bed sounded really interesting and I've actually read about it on Wikipedia:

"During the actual transition into the dream state, one is likely to experience sleep paralysis, including rapid vibrations,[9] a sequence of loud sounds and a feeling of twirling into another state of body awareness, "to drift off into another dimension". Also there is frequently a sensation of falling rapidly or dropping through the bed as one enters the dream state. After the transition there may be the sensation of entering a dark black room from which one can induce any dream scenario of one's choosing, simply by concentrating on it. The key to success is to not panic, especially during the transition, which can be quite sudden."

I think thats the wake-initiation of lucid dreams, which is supposedly the hardest way to achieve a lucid dream. This is all so interesting! I haven't had a lucid dream that I can remember, but have started practising about a week ago and things are going very well with dream recall and such so I'll be sure to contribute properly to this thread once I get more into it.

 

Well, awesome that there's been stuff written about it. It was a life-altering experience. Surprisingly intensely spiritual

 

hey guys and gals, my name is andrew, and ive been "lucid dreaming" ever sense i can remember. the only way i can describe a full blown lucid dream is..... "this is what i was before i was called andrew" i know it sounds crazy, and every time i go lucid it's like it is the 1st time ever, like waking up in the dream but being aware that you are in your bed, but experiencing. I will totally scare the shit out of me, almost like a huge LSD trip and the "loss of ego" some report. I dont feel like "andrew" anymore, i feel like an immortal nonlocal entity. I experience instantaneous thought, travel ect.... i mabye get a good lucid dream every 3 months or so, and rarely get "full" control.

I dont know anyone else personally that has had these types of experiences, and would love it if i could find someone that knows what im talking about.

 

I personally think that lucid dreaming is spiritual because it gives us (at least me) a hint of what i really am. I believe we are much more than we are led to believe, much more powerful than we are led to believe, and can learn to better our lives through these things we call dreams.

 

Can any one give me any tips of how to lucid dream? Some one told me to keep a dream book but idk any tips to get me started?

 

i'm too lazy to make a dream journal and when i'm in a dream, i always forget to take control of it

Ive had a few lucid dreams before, but i did not prepare for them or anything they just sort of randomly happen. Im just dreaming and then im like, wait a sec, im in a dream right now! and once i realize it it is just the best feeling in the world to know i am in control of it and i keep constantly worrying that im gonna wake up, but every moment in the lucid dream is pure bliss. I have not had a lucid experience in a long time and i sure do miss em. Just whenever i fall asleep i can never grasp onto awareness as much as i did before.

I have a question. In a lucid dream, how can i stop worrying about waking up?? because it really messed up my experience i just couldn't stop worrying about waking up because i was completely aware its crazy

 

two days ago i received a sign in my dream
in there i saw that i bought a lot of energy drinks which means that it's time to return my old addiction

 

alright here is MY lucid dream, and it only happened once in my life:


so i got to sleep after reading this article about lucid dreaming and that there are things out there that you can buy to have a lucid dream. the thing costs like around 80 dollars! thats a waste of money! anyways, so i read this article and at the end of it it says, you can induce lucid dreams by simply putting the placebo effect into play. okay say that you have to jump three times and then turn around once then take three steps backwards before you sleep. that will cause a lucid dream. so, i did this thing where i put a beanie on my head to where it can cover my eyes and right in the middle of my forehead i put a quarter with the eagle facing up, facing me. the quarter didnt fall off because of the beanie. so i start to drift away to sleepy land and i have this dream that was really vivid. i can almost remember everything, specifically, riding a quad around some sand dunes next to this school/ mall. i remember that the controls on the bike were really weird like the clutch had a totally different job and the throttle was more like the brake! well the dream goes on and i end up at the school/mall. there i talked to my father, whom i havent seen in a while and then i wake up to the beanie bothering me. i notice the quarter isnt on right so i try to adjust it but out of nowhere, BAM, im at my old house! seriously like first im in bed fixing the beanie then im in a totally different house! well my little niece was there too and she was talking, but she was still a baby. so i said to myself in my dream, babies cant talk! i knew then i was in a dream and had total control. i look out the window and i see this beautiful landscape of mountains and meadows and waterfalls, i mean it looked like heaven or something. i was about to start flying out the window to go and see when all of a sudden i wake up to someone knocking at my door!! WTF you kno? finally got a lucid dream and someone fucks it up!!! well anyways that landscape was really beautiful and i hope to go there again someday. i'll try the beanie thing again and this time i am going to try to use something better than a quarter, like a diamond or some kind of jewel. but for anybody out there who wants to lucid dream, try it. just make it seem like its actually going work in your head.

 

I lucid dreaming when you dream and you know that your dreaming? If it is then it happens to me all the time. But whats so special about it? All of you guys talk about it as if its a life changing experience. Yesterdya when i did it, i tried flying like you guys said and it was pretty awesome, especially when you flip over, but it didnt last that long and when i tried to do it again i wouldnt work.
So what can you do to make the experience worthwile?
