Lucid Dreaming

Wtf I just... What?

I won't mention my lucid dream.......................................................yours was "boring" by comparison. None the less, congratulations! :D

No one gives a fuck
this is Steamgifts, not your diary !

I did lucid and a lot of stupid stuff, went to work hit my boss. Kicked random strangers on the street an ran away. Then I realized when pinching my nose that I'm just seriously drunk and now fucked in life. Lucid dreaming - kids make sure it is not real life.

Aw man, I miss lucid dreaming so much when I was younger I could do it every night now I forgotten how or just unable anymore, I still remember those dreams...

I have had 2 lucid dreams. And yes, when you know it is a dream you feel like 8D I can make whatever i want.

I remember I had a lucid dream once, when I was something like 7 years old. Actually.... It was a lucid nightmare, and a truly horrible experience. I don't remember much about the nightmare, but I do recall in it I was surrounded by monsters, and for some reason I knew it was just a dream. So I kept yelling at the monsters that they weren't real, and I tried to desperately wake myself up by shutting my eyes really tight and then opening them wide. I did it a dozen times and then, I suddenly woke up, my pyjamas sogged with cold sweat :(

It was horrible... I was actually afraid to sleep for a couple of days after that :(

I had a fake lucid dream a month ago. In that dream I went to sleep, and in my dreams dream I realized that it was just a dream, except that it was just a part of the dream and I didn't really realize that it was a dream (I couldn't control anything). Then, I woke up from the dreams dream back to my original dream and told everyone that I saw a lucid dream. When I really woke up I realized that it was a dream about seeing a lucid dream.

oh pinching ones nose as reality test :D fascinating. I tend to use my watch. If I look at it and remember the time and then look again and the time has not changed by much then i am awake :D

Your way seems simpler though, but I trained myself for the watch test. guess it is not easy to change.

OH and I think it only works with digital watches, as it utilizes the text and numbers change when looked at twice quirk of dreams

I pinched my arm instead :3 Yeah, lucid dreaming, awesome stuff.

...but you know, you can breath through your mouth...

oh crap not this "threadmania" again!

I tend to realise I'm in a dream because I often dream in the 3rd person. Even if I am dreaming from the normal 1st person perspective, it is generally quite obvious due to the fact that nothing makes sense, such as trees randomly growing in the middle of the road as I'm driving along, or fact that I'm floating a metre or 2 above the ground. But even so I never quite gain true control over the dream. I can float slowly off the ground, but I can't usually fly at will. I can sometimes control events that happen, but they frequently don't quite happen as I want, so I reverse time a few seconds and try to change it, but every time it doesn't quite reach my desired result, resulting in an endless loop of a few perpetually imperfect seconds...

Im having at least once a month a lucid dream. It started all a year ago when I read about it on the internet and its easy learnable(if you really want it, sometimes you are going to be disappointed because it takes so long).

now go trippin >.>

Lucid Dreaming rocks. Though I can't control everything which happens like you can't enable flying on and off :P

It's fun, but sometimes it goes wrong.
The last two I've had, when I realized that i was in a dream, instead of being able to control it, I just awoke suddently. But as my braid awoke suddenly, I suffered Sleep Paralysis.
The first time I was facing down and I couldn't move at all, which made me go almost mad because it took me several seconds to be able to move and I couldn't breath because both my nose and mouth were blocked by the pillow.
The second time was basically the same, but my nose and mouth weren't blocked. But I couldn't breath either for some reason.

Still I've had satisfactory lucid dreams before and they're so cool :)
oh, and I don't have a method, I just realize I'm dreaming because of things like having the Eiffel Tower at the end of the street. One time I even realized I was dreaming because the door of my house had the door handle on the wrong side.

I wish I could do it. But in the last year I have only had 1 or 2 dreams, and in neither of them I was lucid. How do you do it? Or at least, how do you manage to dream every night?

Never had a lucid dream, but had a few extreme cases of sleep paralysis. Last one I was paralyzed and was on my side with my back to my door. I heard it open and footsteps walking towards me and heard claws being dragged on a wall coming closer to me until I finally regained movement and threw myself off my bed lol. I had a Nightmare on Elm Street marathon earlier that day. Sleep paralysis can be some scary shit. It feels so surreal.

Other times are just minor experiences where I wake up and can't move and it's more of me being annoyed and realizing I'm paralyzed and having to wait until I slowly but surely regain movement. I remember sleeping over a friend's house many years ago and I was trying to stay up till 5am because Inuyasha was on Toonami at that time, and then I saw it starting and saw my friend fell asleep so i tried to call out to him but i was frozen and couldn't maintain consciousness and passed out...so frustrating lol.

Having a lucid dream is hard... In the dream, nothing is weird, you only realize it when you wake up and still have the memory of the dream.

Maybe it's good but it could turn to sleep paralysis where you cannot move in your bed and you can see demons, ghosts and other stuff and you can't move at all. It happens to 1 person out of 5
