For people who can have lucid dreams

[Matt the Funk]

Almost all my dreams now are lucid. It's pretty cool but I can neer fully control them. It's like some force that prevents me. Good tips if you do have a lucid dream and can remember this, in the dream try to close your eyes and turn around to imagine whatever you want. ONce you open them and turn back around whatever you imagined should come true. THis method has helped me escape from shit in nightmares.Uhh I dunno a lot of lucid dreams I try to just follow along with the dream and maybe change shit if it gets uncomfortable. I've tried astral projecting within dreams but that shit is hard and I have yet to master it.

Lucid dreaming is great. I haven't had one since I stopped practicing. But I've had a few that I remember, and most didn't go too far :-P.

On my most memorable one, I remember watching robbers rob a store near my house. They had a big, white van. They went into the van, and I followed them. Soon after, we were on the freeway, and I was chasing them in a high-speed pursuit (no, I was not a cop, haha). Somehow I lost them, and ended up in an alley between two big, tall buildings. I tried jumping above the buildings to catch up to them, and I jumped higher than usual. This triggered my lucid state, and I attempted to jump way over the buildings. I did jump really high a few times, but then I got frozen in the air, and my whole body began to buzz while I was frozen in time and space. I woke up, and the top of my head had a buzz to it.

Another one I had before the previous one:

I was in an airport, I believe, and I was in the waiting room (or something) with this good looking woman. But I had to leave, so I did. Walking down the hallway, I realized that I needed to talk to her so I could get her into bed with me (lol, and this is my non-lucid mind!). So I ran back, but the door to the room was locked. I yelled "Unlock now!" or something similar to that, and it unlocked. This triggered my lucid state, and I became aware of dreaming. As soon as I opened the door, I got frozen in time and space, and everything around me began to spin. I woke up with the top of my head buzzing again.

I've had others, but they are not worth mentioning. Have fun with dreaming, friends. If you want to learn more about how to induce lucidity in a dreams, go to Astral Society, Astral Projection, Spiritual Discussion and Information Resources, and read up on it. It's very interesting, and loads of fun!

EDIT: I do remember another time where I became lucid, and the dream world began to fade, and I was about to be frozen in time and space before waking up. But somehow I remembered the technique of spinning my dream body around to stop this. It worked, but then I soon woke up for some reason. Another technique is to move your jaw back and forth.

I know exactly what you mean, but you have to realize that the "force" is as much a figment of your imagination as everything around you. The trick is to gain conscious control of what you expect to happen. This is exceedingly difficult because in real life we have to base our expectations on what we realistically think is going to happen and thus we can't just choose to expect whatever we want to expect. In the realm of objective reality, we don't get to choose our beliefs and expectations about reality, but you absolutely can when you're dealing solely with an internal subjective simulation of reality. Learning to do this is how you become dream-god, with the ability to do and change anything.

I dream lucidly whenever i go more than a week without smoking. It's awesome because i can pretty much do anything I want in my sleep.

Lucid dreams are so much fun, utter absolute freedom. An entire world to yourself, no drug could ever compare.

I usually get too excited when I realize I am in one though and wakeup

I find the best way to stay asleep once you go lucid is to follow the dream, which is part of why I do it. But yeah I tend to wake up earlier than normal sometimes, but I sleep in naps ussually. 1 nap from 2am-ish to 8am then another from 10-11ish. Ussually the second nap is when I lucid dream. I think I read somewhere that you are more likely to lucid dream if you sleep,wakeup,then go back to sleep. And I guess I prove this true. But yeah lucid dreams are awesome and use to be something I looked forward too, but after a while they got really fucking weird and harder to control. My dream "personality" seems to be different than my normal one, so its kinda hard to do "fun" stuff.
