Lucid dreaming

Its pretty obvious what this thread is about. So before talking about lucid dreaming. I need to ask you guys about something. Thing is that im not a lucid dreamer and want to change that. I already know about WILD. But i have heard about simpler methods (developing a habit of performing reality checks so that you would perform them in your dream, writing dream logs)
and i was wondering. Do these simpler methods work?

 

Not a Lucid dreamer so I couldn't tell ya, but I'd imagine that different methods work for different people.

My(admittedly lame)suggestion? Try 'em all and see what happens. I wish you luck, Omega!

 

Thanks. Ive already already logged my first dream, both verbally and written.

 

Happy to help.

So, a question: what are your dreams like? Mine are very, very strange, so I've been keeping up a sort of "dream diary" since last August.

 

Well mine are typically video game related (you can tell i dont have a life... yet) most of the time its me interacting with something game related in the real world.

 

I've had some very, VERY strange dreams in my past, i've never thought of making a dream journal before. Honestly, the dreams i've had have NOTHING to do with experiences in real life.

Rather strange, the human intelect.

Yup, that's my situation. I also get the "bonus" of twisted mockeries of my actual life >_>
I hate my brain, I swear.

*Puts on monocle*

Mmm, yes. 'Tis an eldritch field, the human's soul. In many cases, rising from a weak and wearying sleep, I may recall frightening fancies of Rikku and cake, dim requiems of lovers of a feline nature, leaving together on a dusk-colored shore...

*cough* Yeah. I've had really strange dreams too. As for the dream diary, I would try to leave little snippets on Richpad after waking up, then go back and expand on it. But only interesting dreams

Haha nah I think we've got a perfect score somewhere

 

We've even gone negative before. Where a topic will start off-topic and just continue.

Lucid dreaming is rather common for me. It's kinda sad that some people don't get to experience it.

Well, I certainly haven't. But my dreams are exceptionally weird to begin with. Not sure if I should lose one good thing for another.

 

I hate being partially lucid while sleeping because I can realise that nothing makes sense but not that I'm actually asleep so I don't know what to do about it

 

That sounds like fun, if only to laugh at how stupid you were when you wake

With dreaming lucidly you either have limited or full control of your dream. It is kind of like painting on a blank canvas, meaning you get to choose how your dream will flow and such. You have to learn how to do this first. Being aware =/= having control.

I have enough control over my dreaming if it is lucid (I still have normal dreams) where I can basically choose a time and setting and it takes off from there. I can have certain people I like appear in my dreams, and other such things.


For me though control seems to come and go. Sometimes I can be completely aware that I am dreaming but it is like I am trapped in my own body as a viewer, in the dream my body moves on its own and such and etc.

Sounds creepy 0_0

I might try lucidity, but it will take a lot of practice.

And oh God I'm so lazy

 

When I realise that I'm dreaming I wake up...

heh...

Maybe a thread about OOBE too?

 

Out of body experiences would kinda be a creepy topic, 'dontcha think?
