Lucid Dreams,

mmmm the highstreet holand and barret type drug serotonin 5 htp gives you feature film lenth vivid dreams , we are talking ten fold increase in intensity ect but in my case it messed with my melon too much:)
 
I do believe that lucid dreams are something you can develop. I never use to get them until about 5 years ago. When I first started having them they would be quick and it would basically be as soon as I knew I was in a dream I would wake myself. But they start getting longer and longer and I can control things now for a while. I'm a player in my dreams, no one has ever said no to sex. What wakes me up whilst in a lucid dream is if I concentrate too much on the fact that I am actually asleep, if I could control/stop this I could probably stay in them for much longer.

I get lucid dreams quite a lot, had one yesterday in fact. Dreams tend to last 5-45 minutes in spurts, with the rest of the time presumably just being unconscious. For some reason the thought of going unconscious without dreaming quite scares me, and when I regain my consciousness in my dream I realise this and more often than not force myself awake :/

Is any dream in which you seem to think in it a lucid dream?

Sometimes I have dreams where something is after me or something and I try and run, but it's like I'm treacle or something and cannot run, and feel a weird tingly sensation and just want to get away. Some of these dreams I seem to think and make decisions in, but only realise it when I wake up.

I'd love it if I could realise in the dream and do loads of things.

i used to have lots of these, especially being attacked and not being able to shout, i could only whisper, it mega sucked.....

I don't really dream at all nowadays (that i know of obv), but the most recent spout of dreams ive had, probably about a year ago, was where near the end of the dream i would fall over, and it really felt like i was falling, as i would wake up immediately as i had been kicking my leg. Very weird, not a true lucid dream, but it always felt very weird and real in that tranistion stage between dream and waking ( i would wake very suddenly).... but except for that ive probably never had a lucid dream like you have explained, although when i was younger i had many a dream where i knew i was dreaming, mostly nightmares, so could eventually wake myself up, by trying to flail my arms etc...
 
I have a lot of lucid dreams and always have, however the real difficulty is remaining asleep once you've realised it's a dream. It's so so easy to wake yourself up as soon as you know you're dreaming.

No. Lots of people are just listing experiences with dreams, but that doesn't mean they are lucid dreams. You may have a dream where you could fly, but unless you knew it wasn't real life, it wasn't a lucid dream.

Lucid dreams are when you are aware you are dreaming, and because you know it's a dream, you don't have to follow the normal rules of life, such as mavity, mortality or even morals.
 
Someone will eventually invent a machine that can trick the brain into thinking you're doing awesome things whereas you're actually tucked up in bed. That would be amazing, being able to do anything you want and believing that you are actually doing it, yet with no repercussions in the real world.

i believe that could possibly be the future of video gaming. instantly inducing and controlling dreams, with some sort of contraption strapped to the head.
 
I start testing when I have an inkling that I'm dreaming. Sometimes if I'm with someone in my dream I'll say something ridiculous to them. There is a moment just before I'm about to say it though where I can actually feel anxiety as I'm not 100% sure that I'm dreaming. After you’ve realised though it’s amazing as you can do anything. However when I start thinking about the fact that I am actually just lying there asleep I come out of it.

They’re pretty weird.

I get a lot where I really do believe I can fly, and do in the dream. It's so real that upon waking, when the realisation hits me, it can be a bit of a downer.
 
I don't think I have had lucid dreams, but on many occasions I have dreamed about forgetting homework etc (good stuff happens too sometimes!), and been completely convinced it was real, and been really scared about the repercussions even after waking, and even going through all the usual school stuff - lessons, talking, coming home etc... to the extent that when I wake up after these dreams I don't realise it was a dream until I see my planner and see none of the stuff I wrote in it is there, or I notice a date somewhere... I love those uber real dreams.

I'd like to have lucid dreams sometime, sounds awesome - although a couple of years ago a friend convinced me to try all the dream diaries and reality check stuff but my dreams remained non lucid :(...but tbh all dreams are good :).

i tend to get recurring dreams fairly often, after having the first one and onto the second i remember it being my dream from the previous night so will already know what will happen in it so i try to change things normally with success, i always get a little bit further in the dream and then wake up. having the same dream the next night in which i get a little bit further than the previous night again. not sure if this is a lucid dream or not but i always feel in control of those dreams since i know whats going to happen and change the outcome
 
I keep having dreams that when i try and hit people my arm slows down and i end up just lightly touching them. I hate it!!!

Iv never had any of the...sex dreams people have been talking about.

Also does waking up at the same exact time every day something to do with this? for the past 4-5 years iv been waking up at 5:55 ( i set my alarm to 6:00 ). I see the time every moment i wake up. Could this be that my brain knows when the alarm goes off and it wakes me up in the middle of a dream?

Exactly. I get them quite a lot and the hard part of it is actually making sure you are dreaming and that its not real because you are totally aware of your situation and surroundings but you still doubt it because it seems so real.

I completely understand when people talk about tests because there is a moment when you think, I am dreaming...but I am thinking and aware...and for a moment because you think its real you cant do things like flying until you make that connection or you see something that isnt right.

Once you realise you are dreaming it is quite easy to do things like flying but there is still doubt in your mind about doing things that might harm you or offend others at the beginning. Then you can have your fun...;)

I dont think that is related but you can train yourself to wake up at certain times. I always wake up about 5 or 10 minutes before my alarm and then switch it off before it goes off and I have a very awkward sleeping pattern doing days and nigjhts for work. The only danger of switching your alarm off is drifting back to sleep again thinking you will just rest your eyes for a moment.
