Hey there peeps ,
so i went surfing on the internet and found out about Lucid Dreaming.

A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming. In a lucid dream, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over their participation within the dream or be able to manipulate their imaginary experiences in the dream environment. Lucid dreams can be realistic and vivid. It is shown that there are higher amounts of beta-1 frequency band (13–19 Hz) experienced by lucid dreamers, hence there is an increased amount of activity in the parietal lobes making lucid dreaming a conscious process.

I also found out that we can do this on purpose and with practice we can control our dream ?
Is it real ? Has anyone here happen to deal with lucid dream in your life ?

I do this about twice every week, the trick is to get so tired that you will literally fall asleep wen u jump on the bed, then force urself to be alert as possible, enjoy your deepest fantasies from there.

I discovered this 6 years ago; was the central theme of my 4 unit english story, it took a while to be able to do it, you gotta find what works for you and the control you have in it varies. Some people are able to 100% control their dreams from the get-go without even knowing about lucid dreaming. It is all about abusing your alertness whilst at the REM stage of the sleep cycle.

It is real, and there are many documented events of it happening, and how to make it happen.
I believe you can't make it happen straight out of nowhere you have to build up to it over a few weeks.

Although, there are also risks to doing it.

I lucid dream all the time, normally just before waking up. To my knowledge these are the only dreams I have. But yeah I remmeber being able to take control of them and deciding where they go. Not always in logical directions.

[breadfan]

I've had one or two in my life, both when I was younger. Some people experience it more often.

[ToRSpartaz]

This was quite interesting I find watching videos that trigger your senses actually manage to trigger lucid dreams Day[J] DDDD

[Zepph]

Yeah it's for real...i managed it a couple of times when i got stuck with some good old sleep paralysis.

ive experienced that too zepph :( its horrible

[ToR.Arnor]

Yeah I go through periods where I have lucid dreams multiple times a week then none for ages

I can say its true, no idea how it happens, I can say its pretty darn cool at times and scary as hell at others

[iM yang]

I've tried inducing it but whenever I tried it never worked. I thought I had a lucid dream, but it was just a dream where I was aware I was in a dream, I couldn't control anything

[Nemo]

Yeah, it happens to me sometimes. I dream I'm good and I hit the find button. Sadly the dream come often at an abrupt end during the game.

[Sc2Clare]

hmm... i havent tried this or had any of this experience. one of my friend has this experience often. he always goes to that state and fantasizes. if you know what i mean...

Speaking from experience, lucid dreaming is actually very real.

The basic premise on how it works is for you being able to realize you are dreaming while in your dream, and then take control of it. If i recall the steps to this were

1. Jumping in your dream, the physics is different so you float usually or theres a slow mo effect and I think something about looking at the time pass on your watch.
2. You are supposed to do these checks in real life till it becomes a habit to check when you're dreaming too.
3. Once you realise you're in your dream world, you can literally dream of anything.

When I was like 18 I had a huge crush on Catherine Zeta Jones.

So when I realised I was dreaming, I made myself open my door and have her appear loving behind it. Not going to go into anymore details but that was the most amazing dream I have had in my life and till this day I still remember it because it felt SO REAL!!!

Unfortunately after that, I tried repeating it but she was never there again (dunno what i did wrong she just never appeared) and after that I was too lazy to read up how to fix it so that was the end of my lucid dreaming days and I never bothered again as my mission for lucid dreaming was accomplished heheheheeeeeeeee

I never seem to be able to remember my dreams T_T, I only remember like 5 in total.

Also surprised no one has made an Inception reference yet

[AsylumofSouls]

You may want to check this site out - BranWave Generator
It's got ideas along the same lines and I find it similarly interesting

[nGenLight]

Lemminks: I was pretty pissed when I saw inception because it was literally the same theme of my 4 unit english story, so I had that feeling of " I DID THIS SHIT 10 YEARS AGO, I COULDA MADE MONEY FROM IT OMG"

I would assume that when you woke up you were so ecstatic that you got it to work, but at the same this imprinted it being very fake, thus you could never fool yourself into believing it again.

Usually when I lucid dream, its probably about 5 mornings out of 7 for anywhere between a long and a little time (dream time). And each and everytime I've no doubt it's just my brain trying to find a way to stay in bed a little longer. The more I try to take control of things, the sooner I wake up though, cos I know what's going on.

Great point. arghhhhhhh!!

It's very real and I've accidentally done it twice - note that it can cause temporary sleep paralysis if it fails . First time I was not sure what was happening as the dream broke and I was in sleep paralysis for a minute - basically was awake and couldnt move my body, with a feeling as if a ghost was holding my body down - scared the shit out of me. Apparently the best way to get out of sleep paralysis is to just focus on moving one small part of ur body e.g. pinky finger - that tells your brain that you are awake and slowly removes you from the paralysis . I'm no expert on this but that's what i've read/heard.

What did you mean by the risks ?
I heard people will hear voices , demon or old woman sitting on top and so on and other nightmares ?

[Antel0pe]

LOL. but there is the danger of it is the dream becoming a nightmare. O.O
