Hi. I was just wondering about your name. I came across an article about lucid dreams and the name onieronaut (different spelling) stood out. Just wondering if you are a lucid dream traveller?

Indeed I am. Lucid dreaming is the funnest possible activity that one can experience. You become a god of a simulated universe created inside your own mind. I have gotten quite good at recognizing when I'm in a dream. One time (last November) I had 17 lucid dreams in a single month, but that was when I was really trying hard at it. Now I get maybe one or two a week, but it's still really cool.

I've just ordered Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge. I have had 3 lucid dreams in my life but only got a tiny taste of the full banquet. I woke up very soon after becoming aware that I was dreaming. It is something I really want to be able to do on a regular basis to enhance my life. Any experiences you would like to share?

Any tips would be appreciated. I've wasted hours trying to have a lucid dream. I would keep my hand up so I would know when im dozing off to help me have an OBE or a lucid dream of some sort, but I just fall asleep.

My first suggestion is to do likewise. It was only after reading this book that I had my first intentional lucid dream, and I have had them continuously ever since.

Yes, staying asleep is perhaps the hardest part about lucid dreaming. All the lucid dreams I can remember having have ended with me waking up. Once you realize you're lucid, it's just a matter of time before you get back into reality. There are ways to stay lucid, however. If your dream is starting to fade or become fuzzy, for some reason rubbing your hands together can make it clearer, and so can spinning in circles. Nobody is quite sure why, but I can attest that those techniques do in fact work.

Too many to count. If you're really interested, search for posts by sennomulo at the ld4all forums (http://www.ld4all.com/forum/).

Here is the post I made about my first intentional lucid dream: http://www.ld4all.com/forum/viewtopi...599&highlight=

I used to control my dreams all the time...twas the shit...but then I stopped dreaming (or remembering my dreams)...but if you can do it....you should go to the next level and try OBEs...
it may be a little too much to swallow unless your open shit like that...but if you can lucid dream it means you have very good control of your consciousness levels
OBEs...if you can induce them...are far better experiences than lucid dreams....

so what exactly is lucid dreaming and also how do you achieve obe's without shrooms or something?

From what I read on wiki the term was coined by some dutch dr or something. A better term to describe it would be "conscious dreaming". So in effect you are conscious like you are now reading this but you are in the dream world. Anything you desire is yours!

carefull guys, you are messsing with the most delicate organ in your body- the brain.

it sounds harmless, but people have been institutionalized and fucked in the head from trying this type of stuff.

Im not trying to say you will go crazy if you try to have lucid dreams, but be careful, because bad things CAN happen
