I've been trying to lucid dream with little success. Despite a few failures I'm still tryin because lucid dreams are amazing experiences. Anybody else do it?
On occaison I will have a very lucid dream, in color, with skin sensations such as feeling a cool breeze, sounds such as an ice skate blade cutting through the ice as as a person is ice skating, fragrant smells and odors. I love most my lucid dreams, but there have been a few that were nightmares and they were not enjoyable in the least.
I've had lucid dream when I was younger, sorta trying to do it now. I found a pretty good website with some basic information here: LD4all (check out their guide) Dream journal'ing seems to be an important factor and there are these things called reality checks which cause one to become conscious of their dream; quite interesting I think. Many ways one can become lucid. Sounds fun!
Yeah. Sometimes they're good and others are bad. If you use the method where you fall asleep consciously you can have some nice sensations. I always feel like I'm floating.
I have lucid dreams roughly about 3-4 days a week, it's always come naturally since I was real young. It makes sleep so much better than it already is.
I've heard of the checks that AzureBlueSky mentioned, but never really tried them out. Some include things like before you go to sleep, think that you're going to check your watch in the dream, and of course, the time will be off, and it will alert you to the fact that you're asleep. They're weird some of them, but I've heard that they work. Some people drink milk before bed, b/c they know that it upsets their stomachs and keeps them partially awake, enough to lucid dream. I keep a dream journal, and that has definitely helped! Now i can pick out what i'll dream about before going to sleep. Oh, advice though, if you ever find yourself flying in a dream and have control over where you go, don't fly straight down! It makes you dizzy!
this one time i was working 70+ hour weeks and i was so tired its like as soon as i shut my eyes they were opening in another realm.. everybody i told about it asked if i was on drugs.. there were voices like on darkside of the moon.. english voices.. it kicked ass
Haha I just did last night and despite how weird it sounds, I felt like I was blast out of a cannon onto my bed when I fell asleep and then I knew I was dreaming lol it was short lived and I felt really weird but it was my first encounter.. Very weird.. I don't keep a journal. I just remember my dreams when I wake up, discuss them to myself, and remember them for awhile.. It works.. Lol but how can you pick what you dream? Thats cool as hell lol
Hey dude, actually if you want to learn how to lucid dream. This is what I think helped me the most, and most people won't tell you this.. But take about 12 benadryls, and do it again the next day but take 14. I did this. When you trip on diphenhydramine, which is what is in benadryl. The first couple of times you do it, whenever you close your eyes you actually have a lucid dream. Its not until the second time I tripped on it, which was the second day, that I could actually tell if I was dreaming or not.. Like I would be at an office building at a meeting and when I read things it was like "SDGKIBNGFKIBN GOBJM OGF BMLGB" With upside down letters and symbols and numbers.. Thats how you know in a real dream.. But it also works with diph. Seriously try it. Take two days to trip on it. Everyoine.. You won't feel very good the next day but MAKE SURE YOU GOT GANJA. Lol it doesn't really work if you don't smoke when you are popping the pills, and you also gotta smoke the next day. If you don't you will have a pretty bad headache. Just smoke when you take them and smoke when you aren't feeling well and it will be a blast I assure you Lol seriously it taught me how to lucid dream better than anything else..
Yea man i always tell myself im gonna keep a dream journal and do reallity checks and i do it for like two days and i stop so i guess i need more motivation.
As far as really realizing i was dreaming in the dream it happened once that i can remember. I was in a house,very much empty when i figured out i was dreaming and i just starting thinking hard about what i wanted to do i think i tried to start another dream inside a dream some inception type stuff haha, it didnt work, i probably shoulda just went with the flow had some fun but i tried to just think my way into a situation..doesn't work folks.
I am always aware I'm dreaming. It's very hard to control the dream. It's like I can't think about it too consciously otherwise it will fade away. I try to shapeshift the characters in my dream into beautiful women, but it always dematerilizes before my vision of sexual delight is realized.
