I can. During my dream last night, for some reason I was back at my house upstate, and for some reason my brother was shooting a gun at me. Of course I wasn't hurt because I could control all my sensations, and I said to him "You suck at lucid dreaming!"Quote:

i'm gonna read up some more on lucid dreaming. i've never given any thought over whether or not we have control over our dreams, and now i'm curious on what i can find out about this. cool thread
Thanks for that
I read the link and the symptoms were exact. Some crazy shit
np.
the crazy thing when i realize i am in a dream, its not because something wierd is happening, its just a thought that comes in saying hay your dreaming or something to that effect
I've noticed that when I'm dreaming, I'm sorta guided by my emotions. (sometimes) Like if I'm horny, I'll have sex, or if I'm afraid, I'll be chased. If I'm angry I fight and if I'm excited I fly or jump really, really high. Now this isn't always the case, it's just something I've noticed on several occasions.
Actually, that is the pretty much the same thing that happens to me. Sometimes doing or witnessing very strange things or events in dreams doesn't have the desired effect of lucidity because strange events dont always seem strange when experienced in a dream, so if nothing seems out of the ordinary, a reflective state of mind isn't likely to be triggered. I think that being able to reflect on any given moment in a dream is a key to lucidity. The problem is not knowing how to trigger a reflective state of mind. Sometimes the absurdity of the situation one finds him or her self in is enough to trigger it. Other times it just seems to happen at random...Quote:

I can lucid dream at will. Its taken a lot of practice, but basically what you do is when you are ready to go to sleep, do a body relaxation excersise. An easy one is while lieing down on your bed, start at your head, really focus on it in ur mind, tell your head (not speaking) to relax, let go, sleep. slowly work your way down your body until its all relaxed. Then, you must find a way to keep your mind focused on something, but be relaxed enough for your body to go into it's sleep state. You could do simple mathmatical problems, or what i do, is just focus on the sound of my air conditioner. The key is not to let your mind wander, if you do, then you will just have a normal dream. Keep your mind focused, and the you should start dreaming, and you can control what you do, where you go, you can fly, you can hook up with some chicks uve had ur eye on ;) or whatever u want.
Happy Dreaming
