Lucid Dreaming

[nitrocan]

I've had one about 5 years ago, my mother was running away from me, it was raining and we were near my school. I "somehow" thought "Why would my mom run away from me near my school which is so far away from our house?" I figured out it was a dream, but nothing happened

I just started a dream journal to get better recall, let's see if this pans out for me.

Yea, I have weird dreams that dont really make sense most of the time.
For eg, I've dreamed about being chased by something made out of legos, some fat lady running away from me, etc.

When i was little, i used to dream about a merry-go-round and sometimes bowser with a machine gun, and wake up crying. Although i wasn't scared of either..

It's funny how there's a whole section about how to fly in a lucid dream, where you first learn to glide, then swim, levitate etc. I just fly once every month or so without even having a lucid dream anyway.

But I have a question to the people who do have lucid dreams. Is is true that you can actually summon, move, control anything or anyone in the dream? And how long does a dream last usually?

I wrote my first journal this morning, and I was like "That woman just turned into a man! Was I that stupid that I couldn't figure out it was a dream!?!"

I had one, where there were like 15 cars in my small garage. The cars started chasing me and... Well I was like 4 or 5

Some people are naturally gifted at lucid dreaming. I'm not one of them.

If you recall vivid dreams (almost) every night and/or have regular lucid dreams, than you should definitely go on dreamviews.com and learn the proper techniques.

For people like me, it takes a lot of training to have lucid dreams. When I woke up this morning, I only could remember bits of one dream, and I got eleven hours of sleep!

From what I hear, it is true that you can do all those things. Dreams happen during REM sleep, so it depends when you hit the dream in your sleeping for the night:

and the length of REM sleep increases, up to about one hour in length after a number of cycles. Therefore, as the night goes on, you dream for longer periods of time.

Also, it wasn't stupid of you, the logic center in your brain turns off during REM sleep, so you just need to remind yourself enough during waking life that things like that are impossible.


I am also using this: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/showpost.php?p=1071520&postcount=81
to engrain reality checking into my mind. I personally examine my hands and try to breathe out of my nose with it plugged.

Keeping a journal is just so boring

I kept one for a while as part of my general psych class. I've stopped, though I now keep it on a private LJ.

I've never really had any lucid dreams, though one time I was looking at an alarm clock in my dream in Penney's or something like that, and the moment it turned 6:30, my real alarm rang. I'd probably abuse lucid dreaming like crazy.

But you can't abuse it. It's not unhealthy in any way. It's probably healthier than not lucid dreaming because you wake up happier.
It's only dangerous if you fail a reality check and you are actually awake.

Knowing me, that's exactly what will happen. I already talk to myself too much anyway.

I had a dream last night and this guy was trying to kill me. I then realized that it was a dream and ran at him and kicked him. It was pretty fun.

I remembered 2 dreams last night, no lucid. Will practice DILD, VILD and WBTB this week. I'll learn WILD in the weekend (when I don't have any deadlines).

If your mind can conceive it, you can do it in a lucid dream.
