How to have lucid dreams. by Mariah Srygler

"Revealing."

How I did it: I've been having lucid dreams for as long as I can remember. It's always just sort of come naturally to me.
Many nights, I'll be dreaming a dream in which I'm watching myself act out the dream, but I (as my sleeping self) am not an actual physical "thing" and "I" am watching I (as my dreaming self). Then, I can say to myself, "you are dreaming". This voice seems to come from a small part of my brain that's awake. Then, I can have conversations with my dream self. She usually just wants to play, but sometimes, she will sit on the grass, concrete, or whatever she can and have a discussion with me.
Lucid dreams are incredible because they allow you to purposely do anything in the world you can possible imagine. I've told people that I love them, I've seen dead friends and famous people, I've been told secrets and futures. I've climbed mountaines effortlessly, swam in oceans, sat on a kite.

I don't know why I have lucid dreams though. They've happened for as long as I can remember, almost every night that I dream.
Maybe it has something to do with me being an insomniac?

How I did it: My first lucid dream was during the summer of 2007. I've had flying dreams since I was a little kid, but in this one, it was the first time I was aware I was dreaming and felt like I could make decisions. I was flying with my eyes shut tight, and it was totally dark, and then I decided that I simply must open my eyes, or else I'd wonder for the rest of my life what had been there. I opened my eyes (in the dream) and saw the most beautiful… Read how I did it…

    ok so this obsesses me because i am a SF-addicted person
    i just wanna experience the pleasure of flying and teleporting and battling ‘eviiiil’
    and also a lucid dream with me making spells like in Harry potter would be like one of the best things that could ever happen to me…:D:D

    watch waking life 15 months ago

    After watching the movie “Waking life” i had an amazing lucid dream. Once you realize you are dreaming, instead of waking yourself up just go with what is happening and take it in. Its incredible how imaginative the mind can be. where do all these ideas come from?

    real life infiltration... 17 months ago

    i’ve been having more vivid dreams, but they’ve been invaded with a significant amount of routine daily life themes…

    i would enjoy something more whimsical…. the wakeful hours are a bit stressful enough for me to be quite happy having them show up during slumber…

    I want to have more Lucid Dreams... 23 months ago

    ... and I want to be able to tell myself I’m dreaming. It’s going to be hard, but I want to have a Lucid Dream where I know I’m in a dream. Lucid Dreams are dreams that occur mostly during REM Sleep and in those dreams, you can control your actions freely. Fun is, if you know you’re dreaming in a Lucid Dream, you can act crazy in normal life situations without the harsh consequences. =P And I heard you can make anything happen, just by wanting it to. I heard that if you’re in a Lucid Dream, you can wish for ice cream (just an example!) and your dream will project that and give it to you. Anything you want. If you want to fly, you can. Trouble is, since I don’t know I’m dreaming I don’t really go all out… Sounds strange but…

    Fascinating… =3

    It’s amazing. I can remember vividly everytime I do it now, and I’m glad I learned how to do it. All I can say is to just read up on it, and try to realize you’re in the dream when you’re asleep.
