lucid dreaming

My lucid dreams usually take place if I sleep in to late in the morning, which isn't that often with 2 boys aged 2 and 3 up at the crack of a sparrows ass..........

They can be fairly normalski or mad............

Does anyone have the ability to fly in their dreams? lol can't believe I'm saying this but I do a fair bit........tis mad.........
 
Didnt think this thread would have any relevance to me but as i thought the topic might be about something else curiosity got the better of me and now im glad i did.

Since the age of about 5 i've been having odd dreams that i felt in control off, so much so that i could induce the same kind of dream every week.

The most predominant dream theme was the ability to swim in mid air ??

I just thought it was odd, never spoke to anyone about it, must see if i can learn about this some more i think.
Thanks for the thread.
 
i had a read up on lucid dreaming after a a friend mentioned it.

i've managed to do it very slightly 3 times - even then i still didnt have full control over the dream - but the small time i did it was good but at the same time very strange that after a short time i woke up

They can be as real as you sitting there reading this reply.

I've been in LD's where im standing there feeling the breeze on my face, feeling the heat on my neck and laughing to myself at how real they are.

It really is like jumping into the matrix and you are Neo. You can controll the whole universe. Its just a matter of teaching yourself better controll.

If you get in an LD, rub your hands together and shout out loud. Look at the palms of your hands as well. You will start to feel more locked into the dream.

Cool, from my few experiences i thought they were just like dreams but with a little added awareness and control from knowing its a dream, i did wonder if they could be more like waking reality and your posts make me want to learn lucid dreaming if they can be that good, i mean dreams can be cool but they're so low in awareness and unstable that you don't get much of an experience and you soon forget them, like how right now you can imagine doing something cool but it's far from experiencing it for real.

So what's behind the lucidity level and is it possible to improve it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream

there are ways to teach you self to know when you are dreaming - when you are dreaming you need to tell yourself you are dreaming.

Some ways are looking at your hands they will be blurred or you will have too many fingers,

look into a mirror - you wont see your self - what you see is upto you if you look into the mirror.

look at your watch, then look a it again - the time will be completely different

also with a book/paper etc look at it then when you look again it will be different.

there is a lot of things you can do to help with lucid dreaming

but dont expect it to happen straight away
 
Lucid dreaming makes sense and I believe I'm fairly close to achieving it, but what about astral projection? Is that similiar to lucid dreaming or is it a load of rubbish?
 
Every time I try this I sit there awake until 2 am in the morning, only to fall fast asleep and then wake up at noon the next day without any form of dream. :mad:

I've done it before when I was younger with fantasy (dungeons and dragons - even had Teirmat in it!).

The other form of dream I have is one where I know I'm dreaming I know the situation is future real life but I can't control it. Later on the situation plays out (sometimes several years later) and it's not a feeling of having done it before, I can state things as they happen. Only had this about three times.

First example was being sat at uni in the corner of the diner. Now the dream happened before I went to uni. I didn't recognise the people but I remember the corner, the light blue table and the TV above my head and the group of people that felt like friends. It was as if I had been there before with full imagery rather than just a feeling.

Second example - sat in an odd house with a group of friends and we were playing a dice game. The room was candle lit. Turns out that it was new years eve, we were playing some game involving two dice and I decided to try something - I announced the next three players rolls. The first one everyone laughed. The second correct dice call and they looked at me oddly. The third and one of the girls was getting freaked out (cambridge maths student who was commenting on the probability). Proved the point to myself :D

Now if only I could do that with control and predict the lottery numbers. :(

I have this from time to time as well. I did the same thing as you so I knew it wasn't deja vu or familiarity. Except with a football match instead of dice, just recognised a snapshot and commented the next 5 minutes exactly but before it happened.
 
Have this often also, my trigger within the dream is that I am doing something impossible and my mind says I shouldn't be able to do that which tells myself that I am dreaming, and I can decide whether to wake up or not - some of the dreams can be amazing :D
 
ive done this several times totally by accident.

non of them have been very pleasant experiences due to the content of them though.

what sort of dream is it if you are in control of what you are doing in the dream, but not of what is going on around you / happening to you.
