it's funny that i came across this because i had a lucid dream the other night.
i was actually in control and really aware that i was dreaming for a short time but i remember a lot of it.
i am moving to maui soon and i had a dream that i was there already and it was so real and i was like... hey! i should go check out my apartment and see what it looks like! this is fun! i felt like i was getting a free glimpse into the future through my dream. i felt like i was lucky to get to experience being there before i was actually going to go for reals. then i forgot what the apartment number was so i couldn't realistically see my apartment if i didn't really know the number, and i spend the rest of my dream trying to figure out which apartment it was. lol

Awesome thread.

I've lived for months at a time at the supposed 4.5 - 5 "level" as I understand it... Some examples: I was fighting nazis and jumped on a bus to escape, then one popped up and shot me point blank in the face and when I realized that would be fatal, I "rewound" the dream and killed that bastard first. Another time I realized I was trapped in a haunted house and magically armed myself with a crowbar, with which I killed my first werewolf!

After that, I started smoking pot and drinking again, and pretty much don't remember anything I probably dream.

I had pages and pages of dates and dreams and pathetic attempts to encompass all the details of those dreams in journals, that even fifteen years later I could recall, with the help of my own documentation.

Lots of violent dreams. Most dreams trace back to the bad neighborhood I reached puberty in, although if anything I was underabused. Must have deep psychological stuff behind that neighborhood somehow. Hard not to assume I have unfinished business there since my own brain reminds me of it constantly.

But back to something a ltttle less personal...

Have you ever had a dream where Something Bad was out to get you and all you had was a poorly working BB gun to defend yourself with or is it just me?

After a few weeks of that, I graduated to the crowbar.

Folks, we're human beings (most of us)!

Our brains, and bodies are precisely tuned for our environment. Metaphorically speaking, do you think their are no potentially negative reactions to a new car upon introducing rocket fuel in place of unleaded gasoline?
...Im bad @ explaining things but I will not stop trying till you guys get it!!!

Ok...grow a beautiful tree, and when it starts to flower, dump a ton of 20-20-20 and whats happens?
Anybody?
It dies because its unfamiliar and cannot handle something it could have, had it been slowly introduced.
...still dont get it?(go smoke one)
:smokin:
Better now? Good!
My point is this: Anything can be destroyed or damaged by a "natural" component in excess.
As a strong advocate for exploring the unknown, I feel it is a duty of mine to promote safe, somewhat controlled learning.

...think along the lines of us only using 7-10% of our brains and theoretically turning into a sphere of energy @ 30-35%:wtf:

Im too stoned now,...I quit!

Um, nope. Sorry.

I've done lots of research on this over the years, and I have experienced it. Lucid dreaming frees your mind - there are no negative side effects, what are you talking about? None of your examples had any correlation to lucid dreaming, lol. Makes no sense.

What you're saying is that it's too powerful for us to handle, even though we naturally have the capability to do so? It's dangerous for one to explore their subconscious and unconscious, consciously? You are mad misinformed, sorry to say.

Also, you say you know of "thousands" of case-studies which support what you say. Ok, well then maybe you can show us 15 or 20 of them?

hahahaha i actually have a good point on this to make

i experienced this alot when i was hmmm, like 23 or 24. It started because i had a reoccuring(sp?) nightmare, and i realized it was reoccuring. So i conquered the situation, caught the person i was chasing, and escaped the person chasing me. I woke up basically right after.

The next day, someone was telling me how they had a dream with me in it, which reminded me of my dream. So as i went to bed, i had it fresh in my mind... i dreamt real strong and again late in my dreams, i realized it, and this time, i was midway through a sex dream, so i really let my imagination come alive, and i later awoke. So i continued on in this fashion for a long while, not sure how long, i got real real good at having deep complex controlled dreams. No longer the vague dreams where it is still semi-abstract, i would storm the beaches, explore space, abuse super powers, in real life, interactive quality. Really until now, i forgot how much ass it kicked.

Well anyways, after a while... i think i spent too much time in my head or something, because i would have creepy shit start to happen. say i was playing with Mike in the finals (born in chicago ) i would look over and the coach would be, like, my grandfather (who i hated) yelling at me... so i would make him disapear and go on... but things like that kept happening, and eventually my control took alot more ... effort?... to make the dreams perfect, without stupid shit happening. So i stopped


So if you are a person like me, with a head that is fucked up awake, maybe you should deal with your issues, before you mess with the subconsious.

and if we only use 10% of our brain... why are their names and function for everypart of the brain, lol ... we may only use a fraction of our mental ability, but really just look at history to see man's potential. We are capable of unexplainable feats... and beer drinking contests.
