I don't post all that much in off topic, so I'm not sure if a thread like this has been around before, but if it has go ahead and lock this.

 

I've been having some pretty crazy (very vivid) dreams lately and a few weeks ago I actually had my first rememberable lucid dream. A lucid dream is essentially when you are aware that you are dreaming and continue to dream without waking up.

 

In my lucid dream I had no idea that it was a dream until for some odd reason, I subconsciously told the person whom I was talking to in my dream that "you are in my dream right now". At this point it clicked that I was dreaming yet I didn't wake up. The person whom I was talking to in my dream told me to prove to him that I was dreaming, so I looked outside at the sun, somehow managed to make it drop out of the sky while the moon simultaneously rose into the sky. This was my subconscious way of telling him I was dreaming, because I have no idea what made me inclined to do that, haha.

 

So I woke up remembering the dream, and went to researching a bit about lucid dreaming. I thought it was pretty cool that I could do this (this, being making the sun fall and the moon rise) and apparently you can "train" yourself to lucid dream and you can do all sorts of cool things.

 

I had this conversation with my friends the other day:

 

If you could (maybe you already can) lucid dream, what would you do in your dreams?

 

Next time I lucid dream, I'm probably going attempt to:

-fly

-breathe underwater (I've done this before in non-lucid dreams)

-take drugs (I had a dream where I smoked weed, and I LEGITIMATELY felt high in my dream, similar to how you feel pain in dreams)

-do some sweet snowboarding tricks (I have a lot of snowboarding dreams for some reason haha)

-talk to famous people that inspire me

-Of course, if I ran into a my bangin hot dream girl, I may go ahead and spit a little dream game on her and see where that takes me.

 

What would you do?

Have sex with all the good looking girls. That's the whole point of lucid dreaming.

Have sex?

+3, hahahaha

All you guys ever think about.

 

I've recently been keeping a dream journal, preparing myself to lucid dream, but haven't got up to it yet.

 

I'm planning to play God and create a world.

Genius! So then you create as many women as you like and have sex!!@@ :thumbsup:

Have more sex then Iamdan gets. (Which I doubt will ever happen, both IRL and dream) :(

I'll have a dream, then I'll go to sleep in it, and have a lucid dream, and then I'll have a lot of sex with beautiful women.

I'll tell you what I'd do man. Two chicks at the same time. Yeah. Oh and this : yup.

Yeah, I tried lucid dreaming when there was a thread on TIF but I never really got it to work. :|

I've had exactly one lucid dream in the beginning of summer, took me about a week to get it but haven't gotten any more in over two months :( I probably need to concentrate more on it...

 

I already told about it in the earlier thread, but in the dream I was in school, suddenly realized that it's summer and then decided to fly around the school. The feeling was AWESOME.

 

I've also gotten a few half lucid dreams. One night I had three very very short lucid dreams where I woke up the instant I realized it was a dream. One night I had a really weird dream in which I knew it wasn't real but didn't realize it was a dream :wall:

 

By the way I certainly know what I'm doing the next time I get a lucid dream :)

I started having lucid dreams near the beginning of puberty, but they become less common as you get older.

 

If I realized I could control a dream, I would go to sleep, then control that dream, then go to sleep, and control that dream. Some people say 3 levels is too deep but I say it can be done if you get the right people. At that point, I would be able to hypnotically transfer my conciousness to various important political figures and influence their minds.

I'd dream that I had loads of money, or that I could do whatever I want without anyone doing anything about it. That would be so awesome..

I used to lucid dream every single night for as long as I can remember (sometimes continuing dreams from years ago), until about 6 months ago, when they just completely stopped. I've never had a dream since (at least not one I can recollect).

I actually lucid dream pretty often....I never try to control what I dream about though, as the spontaneous ones are always better.

 

I have two recurring dreams though, in the first one my house gets robbed and I get shot in the head...that's a very interesting experience.

In the other one, my mom turns into some sort of vampire-werewolf thing (not the lame twilight kind, the badass kind that kills everything) and I end up killing her to save the rest of my family. Weird stuff.

reminds of a book I read..

 

You should write one ! :o

I lucid dream, but I generally just do what I'd do normally in the situations (I let the dreams play out). I don't need to yearn for things in my dreams that I can't have in reality. That would be very detrimental to whatever it is I do.

I don't dream / remember anything.
