Lucid Dreaming.

[ghosty]

I taught myslef how to notice dreamtriggers, and be able to lucid dream in order to conquer a re-occuring nightmare that haunted all through my childhood. Once you learn to control your dreams it can be quite fun.... they key is to notice something that re-occurs in the dreams that lets you know your dreaming.. for me it was the lamp in my room... in my dreams it never worked, so if i tried the lamp and it didnt work id know i was dreaming, from that point i was in total control.

I actually have lucid dreams somewhat often, about a 2-4 per month. Most of the time when i'm lucid its somewhere between a level 6-8. I had a lucid dream last night and I was trying to fly but I couldn't. I've been able to fly a few times and it is really fun when I can. You kind of have to forget everything and just believe you can do it. Like one time i was in my room and i realized it was a dream and I ran through my wall and flew around my neighborhood until I came to a strip club (which doesn't exist in real life) and then I started having sex with one of the strippers. I woke up after that.

LOL, that sounds mad and fun as hell!!!! LMAO that last bit made me laugh, how long did it take you to master it?

It didn't take me very long. The day after I started learning about it on the Internet, I took out a book from the library by Stephen LaBerge on the subject, and read half the book before I went to sleep. Since I had spent the whole day thinking about and reading about lucid dreaming, I had a dream about lucid dreaming, which made me realize I was in a dream. And after that I just kept having shitloads of them, especially after I started my dream journal. For a while I was having one at least every other night.

the way you make it sound.. being asleep is better than being awake lol.

Yeah, it definitely is, when you're lucid.

I have not remembered a dream since some tiime back in the 80s before I turned into a heroin and cocaine addict. Not one dream can be rememebered for me even though I know I dream because that is what the mind does while we sleep. My wife tells me that I talk in my sleep every now and then too but, I still have no recollection of any dreams.

ive had a couple of lucid dreams but i really did not fully realize that i was dreaming. ive had a lot of dreams where i could control myself to fly all over the place. its one of the coolest things ever to be able to fly in your dream. also having sex in your dreams is the shit. but everytime i realize that i am dreaming the i wake up. and i dont know what yall mean with spinning in your dream?

[Oneironaut]

It's like spinning in real life, only in your dream. If you spin around like a top, for some reason that helps keep you in the dream if you feel yourself waking up. I don't know why it works but I know from experience that it does.

Last night i kinda became lucid on accident... Heres what happened.
For some reason i was at my friend nate's house in newark NJ, and like, i went in there and something happened and someone shot me, and like, i didnt know it cuz it was a dream and i didnt feel pain, but i distinctly remember spitting out blood in my dream and knowing that i was gonna die. I guess i closed my eyes for a sec (in the dream) and next thing i know im running out the house around the house and i remember looking down and seeing blood all over my white tee (lol). thats kind of all i remember about it but i was definitely lucid for the part where i was running, i was controlling it and i hopped a fence and everything lol.
