have a lucid dream

Of all things, it was a sex dream, and I was doing naughty things, and then like nah, I don’t do this, and I said to myself that I’m dreaming! Well, I really want to keep going with this practice. I keep my dream journal more often now, and pay attention to my dreams!

Dreams have always been something that has really fascinated me. I think it would be amazing to have a lucid dream. I just can’t seem to get myself to have one. Any tips?

I’ve kind of done this, but not really. Since I’ve started trying to do this, I’ve had 2 occasions where I realized I was dreaming. Once I realized I was dreaming as I was walking through this doorway, and then I was unable to do anything. I just stood in the doorway knowing I was asleep until I woke up. The next time I realized I was dreaming and for some reason decided I wanted to wake up, but couldn’t. I could hear the sounds in the real world in my room around me, but couldn’t make my eyes open or move any parts of my body, which was kind of scary.
Guess I’ll keep trying…

This would be awesome. Great stories might come out of this.

I’ve only ever done this. For me there is no other way unless I am so dead asleep that I don’t dream at all and that rarely happens.

I had never even heard of “lucid dreams” until 2 minutes ago reading through this site. It’s hard for me to believe that there are people who aren’t conscious in their dreams or who can’t control their dreams…??? hhhhmmmmm although my husband doesn’t dream at all…everyone is different.

Not really sure I want to do this anymore. Yesterday I pretty much had the dream I would have morphed my lucid dream into if I’d had one. It was nice. But waking up left me feeling so empty…

I’m keeping it on my list for now…

Since 5 days ago. So far I had 2 very short seconds of consciousness. The first time was floating above my body in a rocking motion. The second time was being where I was, but it was like I was looking through my eyelids. But the THIRD time (today)... as I woke up at 9am… went downstairs and listened to some Hemi-Sync ‘Brainwave Mind Voyages’ for about an hour whilst trying to sleep, I went back to bed because I couldn’t sleep downstairs doings this (as the audio was on my PC). So I was in bed at about 10am… and then it started to happen. I was playing a gameboy-like thing in my brother’s room, I think my goal was to set my soul free through his window (or retrieve it rather, with the window being shut), and in order to do this I had to play the game… it was me in my old school canteen (a lot different), waiting for my friends. They walked past me and ignored me, smirking. So I said “Fine ignore me then” out loud to the public when it was supposed to go to my friends. My arm was sticking out and I couldn’t put it down. So then apparently soon I’d realise I’ve recovered my soul (or rather, conjointed consciousness with my dream). I believed it to be entirely real at the time. Although I wasn’t fully conscious yet. My brother invited some friends.. I thought ‘fair enough, he’s got some mates round’. Then more came, and more; then I had a strong motive to find out what was going on. So I went downstairs… Just before entering my dining room there was a big chap with dreads sat down. I was about to say “Excuse me” to get past him, but he aggressively pushed me. I flew backwards as if near zero-gravity, feeling no pain at all. Landing near my front door I realised I’d just been literally PUSHED into lucidity. At this moment I was 100% conscious and was AMAZED. My body was floating off the floor and spinning and a slow rate, and I said and heard myself say ‘stop spinning..’ and then tried to rub my hands together to keep lucidity. At this point I woke up, instantly my eyes opened and I was conscious of exactly what just happened.

How do you start a lucid dream? I hardly ever have dreams that I can remember…

In my most lucid dreams, I can open my eyes and see the light while remaining in a dream state, and it’s a conscious decision. Once I visualized a forest that was excruciatingly clean and crisp, more than in reality, it was like an airbrushed photograph in constant motion. Definitely worth doing.

I’ve had quite a few lucid dreams, but they were not purely lucid. I’d be well aware that I am dreaming, but somehow I haven’t been able to completely control and direct my dreams. A good friend of mine has had fantastic adventures in his lucid dreams, and he said that everything is as real and touchable as the waking world. Now I desperately want to experience wild quixotic adventures with lots of magic and absurdities that could never be realized in the “real” world. Yay.

But how?
