I've been reading up on some people's posts, and I'm quite interested.

how do you lucid dream?
does it take a long time to learn?

does it take a long time to learn?

It takes as long as you make it take, brah

Though you know sometimes shortcuts cut corners, even if those corners are equally obtuse and bubbly

aah the bubbly corners, you wouldn't believe how often ive had to transfix myself according to the space betwixt the angles.

op if you understand what i said you should have no problem lucid dreaming

it is pretty easy all you must do is have a dream journal and practice practice practice. Search stephen laberge or just search for lucid dreaming an you will find a lot of info

My brother has a book on it. To sum it up, you will probably need to spend 14 nights of remembering each dream to find a common ground-- realize it in real life each time you see and and you will realize it in your dream.
Thus, lucid.

Great for astral projections, a bitch to get to 3-4 dreams. I used to be able to record 3-4 dreams...

I am not really into lucid dreaming, and never tried to explore it willingly. All of mine and still today are from accidents really. How I did it was simply play music I like, one night, a song repeated over and over and I realized I left only one song on my music list. In my dream I got annoyed to hell, and then I knew I was dreaming and started to do anything I wanted.

Now WHENEVER I hear music, any song, I know I am dreaming and can repeat the process.

I have been trying to keep a dram journal for a little while now, but during weekdays when I use a alarm I can't ever remember my dreams. On weekends I tend to fill up around 3/4 of a page with 3-5 dreams.

I have tried waking up without an alarm, the times I have tried this I still generally don't remember my dreams and I can't put up with the risk of me just not waking up and being late...

Basically on days I don't want to get up I can't remember my dreams. So that said, does anyone have any ideas to help me remember more of my dreams?

The key is to keep the attention sharp as a tack. There are many methods, and not every single one will be everyone's favorite.

The other thing: Like anything else, a musical instrument or a workout routine: This is a discipline and it takes real practice and dedication to achieve any results.

When conditions are right, a leaf falls off a tree according to those conditions. In the same way, when conditions are right, the attention can be heightened in dream, according to the conditions you practice to set.

BTW: Visualization is my preferred method. I'm not a master lucid dreamer, but I know what has worked for me.

I rarely ever dream, maybe only once every few months, so increasing dream recall is a challenge for me. When this thread started, I spent a lot of time thinking about the dreams I have had, and what they meant to me. Strangely enough, for the next 2-3 days I could recall multiple dreams when I awoke.

I believe a person has the ability to will themselves to either dream or not dream. If you try to consistently think about dreaming, you may have an easier time increasing your dream recall.

Ah, lucid dreaming. I used to be into this. I read up on it a lot.

I only ever had one, though I may be mistaken about it being a lucid dream. It was pretty fucking clear though. I remember reading this book, 'How I Learned Soul Travel', and it had techniques in it to induce lucid dreaming. I don't remember the steps; something about visualizing a point so many inches in front of your eyes, listening for a humming/buzzing sound, focusing on that, and it would carry your soul to the Astral Plane. I tried the techniques in the book over & over, once I actually heard the buzzing sound in my head, and got so excited I woke right up and couldn't go to sleep :(

Anyway, when I was in the Army, I was having this one dream. In the dream, I was just laying in my bed, kind'a boring actually. I remember from the book that if you wanted to know if you were dreaming or not, to read a line from any page in a book, then read the same line again, and if you are dreaming the line would change. So I reached out and grabbed a book, read a line, read it again and the letters were dancing on the page. Ooh, I thought, I'm dreaming, and I'm awake! So I got out of bed, went to the bedroom door, and pushed my head through the door to look up & down the hallway. I remember it happened like in slow motion, as my head went through the door I could see the grains from the wood, was pretty cool. After that, I just went back to bed & woke up the next morning wondering what the hell I did the night before. That's it for my lucid dreaming experience.

I wonder, is a lucid dream really you wandering around the Astral Plane, or just a vivid dream in your head?

I've heard lsd can induce lucid dreaming....

It's you, swimming around in the pool of creation that we call the mind.

the so called lucid dreaming most people practice today isn't really lucid at all, or rather, they haven't really awoken at all

its just heaping more illusion onto the fire pit

there's two distinct kinds of "lucid dreaming", best termed "lunar" and "solar"

lunar could be best described as unconscious consciousness whereas solar is conscious consciousness

lunar could be best described as unconscious consciousness whereas solar is conscious consciousness

Please try not to do that, for it will only cause confusion.

Really, why do you people read up on "techniques"? I used to do this too. I have lucid dreamed several times, but I wanted a way to induce these dreams every night, not just during a nap.

And so, I stumbled upon this:

The Lucid Dream Machine!

Pretty sweet. I just made one. I still need to program the lights though; there's another tutorial for an AVR programmer. Hopefully it works. If it doesn't, atleast I touched up on my electronics.


Edit- And for those of you that don't catch what it does, about 4 hours into sleep the red LEDs will blink. The light will shine through your eyelids, half waking you up, making you aware you're sleeping. Cool huh?


I realize I seriously sounded like a robot.

I used to do it naturally all the time when I was in my early teens. Hasn't happened in years though. I blame weed.

edit: like I said it was my early teens so whenever it happened I would always just use it as an opportunity to rape girls in my dreams.

A couple of nights ago I had a sort of lucid dream, although it could be to do with me almost waking up. I remember I was looking for this glass thing that I bought. I found it and thought I would move it, then I thought "Wait, I'm dreaming. If I move it there is no point, I'll just come here when I wake up and get it back." Then I forgot the rest of the dream. The weird thing is... I've never bought a glass thing, let alone a glass thing that looked like this.

But anyway, I also remember the dream being tinted green, like I always get when I'm either FORCING a dream, like day-dreams or whatever. Does anyone else get weird coloured dreams when they remember them clearly? Like a black and white, red and black or green-scale?

For some reason I have a really easy time lucid dreaming for two or three weeks after using DXM

I heard that when you relise that you are dreaming, look into a mirror in your dream.
Once you get that feedback (the mirror image) you will be able to Lucid dream.

I think its like the 'Do you dream in black & white, or colour?' thing.
In my dream I stopped at a Red light, at that point I relised it must have been actually RED!
From then on I have dreamt in Colour.

Hell I have been dreaming a lot lately. Not smoking any pot is the reason I guess.

I have also relised I have started to talk in my sleep too.
Just struggling to talk & then waking up knowing I was having difficulty talking, but knowing I had talked anyway.

Will try to lucid dream but most dreams seen conceivable when dreaming, so theres no reason to try & change anything...

Its the nightmares I don't like. Lucid dreaming might turn them into something useable.
