Lucid dreaming

[Atom Smash40]

crazy ass dream last night, i dont know lucid or not but i know i was controlling something...

 

so i was taking the SAT IIs, and some jackhole kept distracting me. i ended up with like 20 questions unanswered and i was freaking out. then on the next section, the proctor was distracting me, and she was moving papers around and taking my test book for some reason. started freaking out again, and ended with like half of the questions unanswered on that section. then i started crying in the dream because i needed to do well on those 2 sections. the i woke up. i really hope that doesnt happen on saturday, when i actually take the test :|

there was this voice shouting stuff in my head

What did it say? Just curious.

 

I can't really remember if I'm honest, it was more of a loud shout than any actual words.

Not going to try this. Just reading glancing at the topic gives me that feeling of terror again.

However, I didn't realise that you could actually coerce yourself into such a state.

Last night I had almost the exact same dream twice, waking up between each. That was interesting.

Hey is it wierd that i recall dreams all the time and that i never completely forget them? I think like everyone forgets their dreams really quick after waking up but I don't seem to somehow?

Short answer: No.

Has anybody attempted this while high? Lucid Dreaming sounds like an awesome experience on it's own and I would be incredibly interested to see what happens when I combine the two. I've read this topic a few weeks ago and wanted to try combining the two, but I've had finals to study for the past two weeks (jr and sr year of High School are rough), and now I have SATs and crap this weekend so it would have been a bad decision. If nobody has tried this yet, I'll post up what happens next week when I try it out. Can't wait!

...No.

Man, I really want to lucid dream, although this WILD crap sounds terrifying. I've been interested in lucid dreaming for years but I've never tried it, but I think I might start working on it and other dream stuff tonight. Improving my dream recall, etc.

[Triquos]

I get lucid dreams sometimes, but most of the time when I realize it's all a dream I wake up lol -_-

 

Once I had a dream I was in an art gallery and saw -out of this world- 3D paintings, it was awesome. Though I don't think I'll try forcing myself to have those controlled sort of dreams, especially with crystals and what have you. You never know what sort of stuff you're getting into with that o_O but yeah, controlling your dreams is fun.

Well this is lame, one post in between another one. Anyways, I have some stuff to share!

 

Last night I went to bed and I decided to lay down and try the drift into it (WILD amirite?) thing. The first time I did it last night, I felt the 'slip' thing...my eyes were closed but I felt my vision go even darker and I sort of started to fall asleep but I was still awake. I was like, 'whoa, cool!' but I was really tired and I needed to get some sleep, so I opened my eyes and went to sleep.

That's how my first couple attempts went. Then it all just went downhill and I always fell asleep right off the bat. Enjoy it while you can. :razz:

I had a weird dream last night, I told my friend about it so I might as well copy paste it here.

 

 

So I was driving a car, my mum was sitting in the passenger seat next to me.

I swerved off a bridge and started flying

I thought "Don't worry, this is a dream." and spun around so that I could dream lucidly.

For some reason, I was suspended in mid air, then [cabbage] started getting weird. It was like I was in some game and everything was black and white, I was still suspended. I was made out of pixels and as I started screaming, the right half of my face started to rip off, pixel by pixel

My scream sounded metallic and I suddenly woke up.

I was like "Phew, that was just a bad dream.."

then I realised that I had actually just woken up into another dream, and I tried to wake up again.

I was experiencing sleep paralysis and couldn't move my lips or anything. (Maybe I was just dreaming about sleep paralysis) I lay there and listened to weird noises, like the sound of weird popping and tried to wake up.

I woke up and sat up in bed.

I started talking to my mum and I said "I had this weird dream where I woke up .. but I couldn't."

Suddenly a dungeon spider from runescape started attacking me and I thought "FUUUU NOT ANOTHER DREAM"

Then I woke up and switched on the light.

I was finally awake

I lay in bed and just tried to make sure that I was actually awake.

I wonder if I really was paralysed, or if I was just .. dreaming about it.

[Wizz]

I have one like once a week, really irritating.

 

EDIT: OOOOH Lucid Dreams >.>

I wrote about something else.

I can Lucid Dream, but I must be very very very very tired to do it. I also must have some kind of distraction like a light on or music.

Last night I was reading this topic. I read about reality checks, and noticed the device failure part.

 

A bit after that I decided to add music from my computer to my iPod, which has worked without a single problem for two and half years. Surprisingly, it didn't work this time. I quickly looked around my room to see if there's anything weird. Sadly, the cat sleeping on my bed was still black as always, the clock was 4am ( :rolleyes: ) no matter how many times I checked, and everything else was normal too. Damn. (Well, at least the iPod works again, it was only a temporary failure)

 

Anyway, this sounds really interesting and I absolutely must try this. My imagination is always running wild anyway, I can pretty much dream when I'm awake (this happens often at school :-P )

 

I think I'll try the WILD method tonight. I'm not really afraid of scary looking monsters or anything like that, so I don't have to worry about illusions. I can only be scared by surprise and bugs.

Sorry for double post, but the last post is over a week old

 

So, last night I had a lucid dream. It was quite short, but still an amazing experience.

 

I was in my old school I haven't been at in the last three years. I didn't really even think about that though. Then suddenly I remembered that I've been on a vacation for a week and couldn't be at school. Then I realized it was just a dream. To be sure I looked at my hands and both had six fingers :o Then I ran outside and started flying around the school. Then it started raining and I decided to wake up.

 

Fun while it lasted :)

[JacobCampbell]

how could you fly without wings? You did it with help of your sixth fungers, didn't you??

[OwnagePie]

Man I tried to lucid dream before and I felt the weight on my legs but didn't get farther than that. I'll try again on the weekend.

[friedtomato7]

I always lucid dream but i can let dreams run there normal course to. Its fun to teleport a lightsaber or abysal whip right after the werewolve/vampire/killerduck (dont ask i was attacked by ducks as a young child) has eaten my sister. :twisted:

[Celery]

I've tried this a few months ago with some success, but I'm definitely trying again tonight.

 

Last time I tried this, I ended up eating a dog alive while swinging from a pendulum.

My arm ended up moving by itself in tune to the pendulum's swings, too.. o__o

...Weirdest thing ever.

That is kind of disturbing. I hope that was not what you were trying to dream. :unsure:

N-no, it wasn't. XD

[pkinyou]

I always try to control my dreams like this! I'm totally gonna try this next time, I've controlled my dream 100% only once, it was crazy- its a weird experience, its like im a wizard or something lol. I can control every aspect. it is really and truely amazing to be able to control a dream

[jjrox32]

As a kid I used to have lucid dreams all the time. I was prone to nightmares when I was like 6-7 years old, so I learned how to wake myself up while in the dream, which required me to realize it was a dream. Sometimes that would lead to me being able to control the dream entirely.

 

Although since then I've sort of lost the ability to lucid dream, along with that I don't dream as much as I used to.

[Saru Inc]

Does anyone else feel like they are suffocating when they dream? Its why I hate dreaming. I feel like I'm bound, gagged, and suffocated. Until I can wake up.
