Dreaming/Lucid Dreams

I've never had a flat out lucid dream, ever. And anyone who has is lucky af. Although the weird ones I have can creatively inspire me because it just goes to show how bloody weird things can get for me! I've also had moments where I became aware I was in a dream and either decided to wake myself up or said "fuck it this gettin' good!" and then I wake up when good stuff starts to happen. Kinda sad really.

Lucid dreams are great, whenever you realise you are dreaming you basically become lucid. I'm not quite to my sisters level just yet but she lucid dreams in anime worlds and they are consecutive so they continue where they last left off xD

The only way I can experience a lucid dream is when I have a nightmare. If I get into a nightmare, there's 100% chances that I twist it into a lucid dream. Unfortunately, I don't do nightmares often. It feels much easier to become lucid in a nightmare. * A dire wolf is about to eat my face... * ****off you won't kill me without a fight! * Wait... it doesn't hurt. * Fly away to wathever I want to do.

I have had a couple of lucid dreams, I had them frequently when I was a kid. Similarly to doppleman, this was mainly if I was having a nightmare, I would force myself to wake up. Now as an adult, the dream has to do something for me to realize I'm a sleep. In one of them, the cops came to arrest me, I figured out I was dreaming because I have never been in trouble with the law, nor would I ever be...

Lucid dreaming is fun. I kinda have a tendency of going only semi lucid however. Carry over experience from some of the other things I do if you will. So I stopped having nightmares when I just reflexively blast everything's face off with energy beams and martial arts. This adreniline rush usually kicks me awake before I have the chance to go fully lucid though, but at the very least I have mastered having control over myself when dreaming.

Just have some sort of reality check if things get weird. Eventually it becomes such a strong habit that you do it in dream. I always look at a clock and pinch my pinky finger. But when I do it in dream it doesn't hurt and clocks change time rapidly so I know I'm dreaming. Pretty much all of my dreams are lucid now. I've used my dreams to fly, fire kamehamehas, ride giant sharks into atlantis, Fight Jason Vorhess in a burning building, Be Spiderman, etc. It's fun.

I lucid dream a lot(or i should say i used to).. it was never natural for me, i induced it by practicing to lucid dream! It takes a long time for the effects of the practice to work but when it starts working you will find all of the hardwork worth it :) The reason i was practicing to get into lucid dream was because it was part of deep meditation and i wanted to start that anyways, so yes lucid dream is not easily self inducible but sleep paralysis is! Follow the steps from internet on how to self induce sleep paralysis (its the same steps of deep meditation), once you start getting sleep paralysis regularly at one point your sleep paralysis will start breaking into a dream and that will be your first self induced lucid dream! At that point you might forget its a dream or you might just sleep instead of being awake, so certain reality checks are helpful along with this sleep paralysis routine: 1. A simple reality check of blocking your nose and trying to breath can work (if in real world you cant breath, but if it's a dream world u can! Practice this each time you wake up from a dream and before sleeping.. then you will start doing it in dreams) 2. You should always have a habbit of recollecting past events, just try to recollect why you are here at present and what you were doinh b4, in a dream you wont be able to recollect! I have explained this in other forums regarding lucid dreaming too so i am not going into detail again :p but yes i used to do this when i was 17, and did it for 2 years.. i stopped it after that since sleep paralysis started interfering with my regular sleeps and i wouldnt get proper mental rest. Lucid dream part of those 2 years was certainly worth it though :) Now without doing that, i get lucid dreams.. certainly more frequently than b4 starting that routine.. but not as frequent as of those 2 years XD

I don't have lucid dreams, thought I do have lucid daydreams. The closest I've had to a lucid dream was simply because my dream was mimicking what movement my body was doing while sleeping.
