Use the search feature. There was a post on the spirituality board about this topic along with some good links. I was searching for it and than thought why... If I can do it so can you. ;)
If I remember correctly the thread was started about 2 weeks ago, but not sure.
from what i've heard, you can control ever aspect of the dream, but the two hardest things are realizing your dreaming, and after that stay asleep to keep dreaming. i know for a fact atleast you can control some of your dream, i'm just not sure if you can control every single aspect or not.
Well I have done some reading on this and will share a few things I've learned.
1. It takes a lot of practice to accomplish (6 months - a few years)
2. It has been said to be an outer body experience
3. Most people wake up when you begin to shake.
There is supposed to be a shaking sensation when it begins that scares many people.
4. Once you become good at it, you will be able to travel anywhere you like in this new plain of reality.
I plan on trying myself, I'm just not disiplined enough to start keeping a dream journal and all that.
You guys should check out the movie Waking Life.
plus the whole movie is in rotoscope. They basically filmed the movie with regular video cameras then a team of artists went back over it and animated it. It's pretty bad ass, probably one of my all time favorite movies.Quote:
in a broad scope, Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent dreamlike state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like appearance and reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life. Along the way the film touches on other topics including existentialism, posthumanism, and the film theory of André Bazin. The young man eventually comes to the realization that he is dreaming and that he is unable to wake up. By the end of the film, he fears that he might be dead.
I have lucid dreams a couple times a month. I never try to have them it just happens. I usually am somewhere then realize its a dream and just do random things...mostly jumping really high, flying, and banging hot women until my dick blows up.
I've read if you spin around while lucid dreaming and think of somewhere you want to go and something you want to do it will happen. I always forget to do that though because I get excited.
During the day you are supposed to look at a digital watch like every hour and after awhile you'll just start automatically doing it, then you'll do it in your dreams and when you look at digital clocks in dreams they are all fucked up so you'll know you are in a dream...something like that.

How much you control in the dream will vary from dream to dream. Dreams are your brain's fucked up way of running a little reality simulator at night, and lucid dreaming is the art of realizing you're in a simulation and hijacking the program.
In any dream, lucid or not, basically what happens is whatever your brain expects to happen. Sure, there are some random things that you don't expect but for the most part if you expect something is about to happen it will. Lucid dreaming, therefore, means you have to overcome your expectations and learn to consciously control them.
This is difficult, because lucid dreams are so stunningly like reality in every detail that sometimes you doubt whether you're really dreaming. If you're on the roof of a large building, and everything looks and feels exactly as if you were on top of a large building, and you decide you want to fly, you have to overcome the very strong expectation your brain has that you will plummet to the ground. You have to first be certain that you are dreaming, and then be certain that your arms really can be used to counteract the force of gravity. We're not used to making ourselves believe things we know to be false, but this is what you have to do if you want control over your dreams. If you do it well, you can be a god in your own little customized universe; if you don't, you will be just a curious spectator who knows he is dreaming but can't do anything about it. Just remember, in lucid dreams, there is no spoon.
I've only had a few lucid dreams, and I really couldn't control them.. i really was just a curious spectator :(
Lucid dreams are so cool. I would love to be able to master them in my lifetime. I actually will, but yea. :)
