Please read Any Astral Projection and/or Lucid Dream Logs/Blogs must be posted in the "Official LD/AP Blog" topic. They must not be posted here. In that official topic, you must NOT talk about "random shit." You may only post a log of your LD or AP experience. Any other chatter about AP/LD are done in their seperate topics.[/sizee24709d46f]



I know there was a topic that started talking about this but it wasn't really about it. Anyway have you guys ever had a LD? I had my first one last night! It was amazing. Heres how it went.

My brother was mad at me because we didn't get a check or something so he took me in my dads old car (from when I was really young) and drove into a lake (Shouldve known it was a dream then... why would I let my brother in my business lol) and the car broke when we hit the water. Under water I saw a stingray. Probably because of Steve Irwin cry I got out and thought this weird so I did a Reality Check. It kind of worked. I said when I turn my head to the left a dolphin will jump out of the water. It worked. So i stayed calm and knew i was dreaming. Then I flew out of the lake (which is hard when flapping your arms) and i walked into a restaurant and told my brother hes just a dream character, he said
no i'm not! then i tried to fly (its hard) by flapping my arms. I wanted to say look what I can do. I went outside and wanted to go somewhere. So I was walking through a brick wall (FEELS SO COOL!) and then I closed my eyes to think where to go and i forgot that when you close your eyes you wake up (. So then I had a false awakening and told my brother on the phone about my LD. He said he had the same one and then I really woke up. Sorry its bunched together, with possibly some bad grammar. I don't make things perfect in my Dream Journal. P

Have you tried my Lucid Dreaming sound file?

I've only used it once, but I think I overdid it by listening to it on repeat over and over while I was asleep... Check the other thread for details... But basically, I kept trying to go to sleep so I can wake up, but I kept waking up still in the lucid dream... I must have woken up at least 3-4 times still being in the lucid dream.

Haven't touched it since ?

I used it once h3x. Not last night. LD4all.com is where I learned.

ilanbg

Like I said in the other thread, I haven't found the sound files to be very effective (unless maybe you just don't sleep well in general).

Here is a beginner's guide to lucid dreaming

1. Start a dream journal. Record all your dreams in vivid detail (and always take notes as soon as you have the dream, then expand on it later).

2. Try to find patterns of any sort in your dreams. Do you have recurring dreams? Do your dreams take place near mountains? Do you often have nightmares?

4. Start doing reality checks (there are plenty of ways; holding your nose shut and trying to breathe out of it is my favorite and most effective way) whenever anything remotely related to your dream-pattern occurs. For example, if you have nightmares a lot start doing RC whenever you get scared in real life. The association of fear and RCing will become subconscious and you'll do it in your dream.

5. Decide before you fall asleep what you want to do. Do you want to fuck Scarlett Johannson's brains out (I have)? Do you want to fly like an eagle (I have)? Do you want to find out what your subconscious secretly thinks the meaning of life is (I have)? Just decide to do one thing beforehand because once you become lucid you'll have a hard time concentrating.

6. Once you become lucid in your dream, just keep focused on both the fact that you're lucid and the thing you want to do as you're lucid.

7. Trust yourself; if you don't completely believe that you can do whatever you want everything will go wrong.


And there you have it. Novices and experts would do different things but that's how you start to get the hang of it.

I used to be into it, but never really used techniques. All I did was
1. Do TONS of reality checks during the day.
2. Say to yourself before you go bed, "i'll have a lucid dream" and then go to sleep like regualar.

Then, while in your dream, there's a pretty good chance that after doing RC's in RL for so long and it's habit, you'll do one in your dream

[quote9aab8a36c0="OldManWrigley"]What are some ways to do RC during the day?[/quote9aab8a36c0]

(In order of what I've perceived to be the most effective ways.)

You can hold your nose shut and try to breathe through it. REM doesn't effect breathing; in other words, the way you breathe in your dream is also the way you breathe in real life (incidentally, you can wake yourself up by holding your breath in a dream). So if you hold your nose shut in your dream, it will still be open for air in real life, so you'll still be able to breathe through your nose. I like this one because you can do it anywhere very easily and quickly, and it has never failed for me.

You can look at a piece of text. In dreams text continually changes; as soon as you read something it will change to something else. This one is good because it is also fail-proof; text always changes in dreams. Also, in our day and age you can find a piece of text literally anywhere (worst comes to worst, look at the brand name on your shoes or clothes). Unfortunately, if you're fumbling to find a piece of text in your dream you may lose concentration before you gain lucidity. Nonetheless, a very good technique.

You can visualize something behind you and turn around; if it is behind you you are probably dreaming (i.e. visualize a piece of furniture or a person behind you, then turn around). This is referred to as the "around the corner" technique, as it can also work by visualizing something around a corner and then walking there. It works in the same way that you can make things appear [i9aab8a36c0]after[/i9aab8a36c0] you've become lucid; your conscious is stronger than your subconscious and takes priority when conjuring the dream. However, sometimes this technique has not worked for me, and has worked less and less as I've gotten better at lucid dreaming for some reason.

You can just jump up and down. If you are dreaming sometimes you will float or suspend for a split second longer. I don't really like this technique because it doesn't always work, and it looks really silly to do if you're in public.

There are a few others, I think, but the first two are really solid.

But I guess that doesn't really count, because after that it takes some work.

I've made fear a RC so that whenever I have a nightmare I become lucid. My favorite lucid dreams are not the most fun but the most interesting; once I was being chased by a robot through a mall. I ran outside (it was nighttime) and I became lucid. I levitated out of reach from the robot, then willed it to disappear. I looked up at the sky and parted the clouds, then made it day-time. I think I lost lucidity after that, but I liked it because I was just using raw powers to control my dream, rather than specific techniques.

Another time I had four lucid dreams in one night, which was a record for me. Another time I was being chased by a guy with knives down a hallway. I got to the end and was trapped. He got closer and closer, and I closed my eyes in fear. He started scraping my wrists with his knives, and I became lucid. Eyes still closed, I jumped forward and said, "You're welcome in my dream!" The dream immediately changed and I had a false awakening (dreaming that you're waking up). I was in a very peaceful room that was very white (white walls, white sheets on the bed, light wood framing). There was a large window in front of me with a magnificent view of a sunrise coming over the mountains. To my right was a sleeping woman—she was vague and I don't know who she was supposed to be specifically, but in the dream I knew I loved her.



Regarding nightmares When you become lucid during a nightmare, if you accept whatever is attacking you or doing you harm the nightmare will immediately change into something good. On the other hand, if you use your lucidity to attack the nightmare, it will only grow stronger and scarier (which I've done, and believe me it was terrifying). Psychologists speculate that nightmares are subconscious projections of real-life fears or problems, and that accepting the nightmare in your dream can have positive effects in real life.

Another thing you can do to help induce lucidity is wake up in the middle of the night for a few minutes. Set your alarm to 3 a.m., then hit the snooze and go back to sleep, then turn it off when the snooze goes off, and it will help you with your lucidity (especially if during that period you try to induce a WILD or just make becoming lucid an objective as you drift off to sleep).

I think it's just too associated with spirituality and second dimensions and stuff.

I wouldn't believe in any of that stuff if I hadn't done some crazy things in my sleep that no one has ever been able to explain to me.

while i've been dreaming, especially during nightmares, i've noticed that I'm in a dream.. but every time i do i just wake up. So basically my question is how can you know that you're dreaming enough to control your actions and stay asleep?

I haven't had a nightmare in years. I've had a few 1-2 minute lucid dreams though.

It's funny how nightmares are so much more scary when you're in them. My last nightmare was years and years ago and some quack scientist grabbed me and mutilated me or something. When I thought back on it I didn't think it was even that scary. But when I was in it I was scared as hell.

Anyway about lucid dreaming. I've always wanted to have better ones but I haven't put much time into it. What kind of reality checks do you guys perform during the day?

bruman

08-09-2006 14:58:31

i haven't had a nightmare in a lloonngg time (10 years?)

Also.. pretty much the only reality check that works for me is looking at my hand. In your dreams you have 6 fingers. Seriously, you do. Look at your hand in your dream and you'll see.

This also benefits you in other ways.. meaning you don't look like an idiot by trying to shove your fingers through your hands in public. But looking at your hand is a pretty common thing and works great.

Try it, now. Look at your hand. If you have 5 fingers, you're not dreaming, if you have 6, you are. Oh yes.

YourGiftsFree

08-09-2006 15:05:02

I do the hand one like I said, its short and quick! If it doesnt go through your hand in the dream it will feel like sticking your hand through fudge. Also your hand may have more then 6 fingers. It will definatley be deformed.

bruman

08-09-2006 15:14:58

Yea but i'm saying you can't really do that RC in public without looking like a weirdie. And yea, when I saw it I had two middle fingers.. and they were still sort of connected.. sort of like siamese twins connected.. so that would be 6.

Just write like 3-10 general keywords describing your dream so at least you'll remember it. Even the smallest things will help you improve your dream recall. Then if you really want you can write it into a story when you have time.

try MILD as you're going to sleep and if you dont LD use WBTS in conjuction with WILD to double you're chances of success

I still contend that creating a good foundation for lucid dreaming (RCing throughout the day during periods that could correlate to your dreams) is easier/better than doing MILDs and WILDs. I've never done any but whenever I notice a pattern in my dreams it only takes a few days to develop a habit that will allow me to become lucid the next time. I think it's more reliable.

EatChex89

09-09-2006 01:24:03

i started practicing for lucid dreaming by remembering my dreams, it worked for about the first week, but then i got bored. i should start again.

but the first step is actually to remember your dreams otherwise you won't remember you lucid dreams when you have them. Then you do reality checks like 24/7 and then you'll automatically do ti in your sleep then you realize it's a dream and can control it.

YourGiftsFree

09-09-2006 07:12:20

Okay, but what if you dont ever remember your dreams? I havent remembered my dreams since I was a little kid, and Ive only remembered a couple in the last year (meaning I remembered them when I woke up but dont remember them now)

Also, when I was little and having a nightmare, I always thought that if I just screamed, the nightmare would end. I think sometimes it worked, but i remember i tried to scream, and just nothing came out, and then things got really scary. What is up with that? Would screaming be like a reality check?

There are ways to improve your dream recall. Having someone wake up up gently instead of using an alarm is better because the sound ends as soon as you wake up. Remaining motionless will greatly improve your chances of remembering the dream; don't even turn over in your bed. The more time you spend in that position, slowly waking up, the likelier you are of remembering your dream. Also, trying to remember your dream is worse than just allowing the feelings and images of the dream to drift to you.

Screaming isn't a reality check. I don't know why it would wake you up—maybe it was just your mind willing yourself to wake up. The next time you have a nightmare and you become lucid, accept the nightmare and try to make friends with it.

I love my dream recall. Right now it's 620 PM and I remember 3 of my dreams last night, not in full detail though. I really should write them down when I remember them the best.

I dream up the coolest houses. It's crazy. In my last night's dream my family was living in this huge house and my room was at the very top on "stilts" so to speak(it was unrealistic but very artistic). It was overlooking tons of mountains and it was a cabin room. Everything surrounding me was beautiful and so was the house.

Now that I think about that dream it reminds me of a dream from a few nights ago about a house I dreamt up.

Now mentally I have connected cool houses to dreaming. So next time I dream up a crazy house I'll analyze it and do a reality check so I can be prepared to go lucid.

I've had several of these LD in the past ,but i never knew the term for it until now.

I had this one particular dream about 4-6 years ago where i was being chased by an enormous fugly looking monster/lady ( which was from a movie i saw that day) down my street where i lived. and as i ran in terror i was trying anyway to escape this monsterious creature, so i began to think of flying. All of a sudden i flew up away from the monster.

another dream which was also several years ago is when i was walking down my street in my dream and as i was walking about i realized it was a dream. i was like WOW!! and i saw a stop sign, so i started to bend the pole with my mind and began to do all sorts of magic type of abilities before i woke up. It was amazoning as i was still in my dream and had total control in ever aspect of it.

But there were times where it was the total opposite.
Another dream where i was flying and such and i knew it was a dream, then all of a sudden a monster of some sort was after me, but i couldn't fly away because i kept thinking to myself that i have to get away but i cant seem to be lefting off and i jst woke up..

Well, tonite i'm will try to have a LD dream since everyone was talking about AND i hadn't had one in a very long time. lol

Well, my sound files are "binaural brainwave entrainment MP3s".. Basically different frequencies play on each side of your ear... These frequencies are supposed to induce a Lucid Dreaming state.. I believe the "Lucid Dreaming" file is heavy on the Delta spectrum wave which induces a deep sleep and some other stuff that's supposed to trigger lucid dreaming.

I very much doubt this exists. If it works it's solely on the placebo effect.

Learn to have lucid dreams and you can do whatever you want in your dreams. There is no easy way to do this; it will be work and if the only reason you want to do it is to have sexual dreams I suggest you just stop masturbating and allow your body to conjure the dreams by its own volition.

Yes, but apparently you can't. The answer to your question is in this thread, so if you're too lazy to read it you should shut the fuck up.

I always wake up, remember my dream, and go back to bed. And usually, I have to say, I will continue my last dream, if I want to dream what I was dreaming before. But usually when I go back to sleep, it is an entirely new dream to play around with.

I'm not sure if this is dream related (probably not) but it's worth a shot. Every night I wake up with a massive charlie horse in my right leg. This happens every night or every other night and it's starting to get very annoying. Nothing is worse than waking up in pain. Anyone ever hear of something like this?

I just made a dream blog through blogger. P

Tonight I know I won't LD. The only way I want to do it is through RC's and I hardly do them. I have to make it more of a habit.

Spent twenty minutes or so stretching before you go to bed. Almost certain this will solve the problem.

I never RC during the day, or in my dream. But last night I had to be Lucid Dreaming, because I controlled my dream to a certain extent. Also, last night I had a dream I was having sex with my girlfriend, who I was sleeping in my bed with, when she woke up, she said she also had a dream of sleeping with me. Is this normal to share a dream?

It's not unheard of. Ask her what the surroundings were like and compare them with yours.

It has been known to happen. However, keep in mind the power of suggestion is a powerful thing and it's possible one or both of you unwittingly manipulated your own memories because having the same dream would have been so cool.

Well when we both woke up, we were both horny, just from the dream. And I said "Wait, are you horny because you had a sex dream?" And she said "Yes, it was with you, in YOUR room but not in the room we are in now (which is my room.)" Meaning, in the DREAM it was my room but not my room in real life.

And mine was the same. She said the wall color was a pale green / khaki mix, and my dream was the same. And we both awoke at the same time.

Write it down on paper or in notepad, and use a different blog service.

Last night I did WBTB, and I actually had a dream about lucid dreams (closest I've ever come to an actual induced lucid dream). I was speaking to my teacher about how I had been trying to LD. It makes me sick now... why wasn't that a signal for me to realize it was a dream?

I havent really been trying out any techniques for the last few weeks but ive still been able to go lucid a handful of times... however i cant seem to keep the dream going and i always wake up a few seconds after.

btw
i think its hilarious how sometimes i can miss the most obvious dream signs. I remember in one of my dreams i was pouring myself a bowl of cereal and I looked on the back of the box at the nutrition label and it was clearly written 700 calories per serving. I remember thinking to myself "that cant be right.." I looked again and it said 100. Kinda lame how that completely went over my head and i didnt do a reality check...

it would be interesting if other people attempting this post about the dreamsigns they missed.
