Sounds interesting and I'm trying to induce one. Any tips for a newbie?

[dolphinbomb]

Isn't that controlling your dreams?

If so, I'm no help. I always have lucid dreams, though I'm not sure how I do it. The only thing I can't control is when I wake up. Otherwise, it's just like I'm actually conscious within it.

It tends to make nightmares a whole lot more terrifying, though..

Girl you got my liquid dreams

But on a serious note, tried but have not yet been able to lucid dream.

There are a few guides on the net to help.. not sure if PsiPog has it, give it a try

i've experienced a lucid dream when i was younger.

i use to always get this one dream where i would be waiting for a train in the subway, then some how i'd fall into the tracks and be electricuted by the third rail - which is the main conductor for most transit system and will instantly kill you if it you touch it.

anyways, after i get shocked i would be sent to this room which is like a queue for all people who recently died. then i'd usually wake up.

one time when i fell onto the tracks, i thought to myself "this is my dream, this isn't real." and i woke up.

i'm pretty sure this counts as a lucid dream, since i was in a state of dreaming and being aware that it was not reality

I hae one once in a while, seems to happen when I'm not very tired, but still sleep. Otherwise, I can't really be of any help.

I have them, but I had no idea there was a name or anything for being conscious in a dream until I read this topic. I used to have a dream that somebody was chasing me with a knife, and I kept getting more and more tired, but I couldent ever tell if he was still behind me so I just kept running. I would eventually say this is stupid and probably just a dream, and woke up.

Now I have similar dreams, except that I am in my room and their are evil spirits around me, and everything is SO similar to real life. I turn on the TV, and as soon as I start to believe that the spirits are leaving, I wake up, and repeat the exact same process of believing the spirits are there, and then turning on the TV.

Then again...I have some good lucid dreams too.

[Kitchwa]

I have lucid dreams. Fact, i had one last night. It seems i only have lucid dreams when the dream is bad. I've never had a lucid dream in which it is a good occasion.

[foogie]

I never remember my dreams, and on the rare time that I do, it's usually because it's a heavy and hardy sleep. can't usually control those ones.

[Cam]

A dinosaur chased me and I thought to myself and closed my eyes and I was awake..

Thats a lucid dream?
I had control of waking up..

[SRF]

I have allways had some control over my dreams, when i dream at least, but not total control. I often feel i really need to do somthing, but cant, so i go do somthing equilly interesting¬¬. I cant often remember exact details though. And i rarely dream

I've been trying to induce both lucid dreams and astral projection for a while now.
More luck with lucid dreaming than with astral projection; I did it a bit whilst I fasted. Just read up on sleep phases, ie REM, which is the stage in which dreaming is possible. Basically, through out the night, you go through sleep cycles. Stage 1, 2, Deep Sleep (3-4) and REM. About 25% of your sleep time is spent in REM, and the largest cycle of it is during the early morning, which is why most dreams occur in the early hours, just before you wake up.
What I did was wake up at around 4:30am, stay awake for around 45-60 mins and then go back to sleep. It's not as if I was successful everyday, far from it, but it was far more often than usual.

There are lots of good resources on the internet, check it out.

To clarify, being able to realise you are in a dream, and therefore exit that state is -not- lucid dreaming.
Lucid dreaming is when you can bring yourself to consciousness within a dream (or go into a dream conscious from the start), and stay within the dream.

[Christopher Robin]

If so, I'm no help. I always have lucid dreams, though I'm not sure how I do it. The only thing I can't control is when I wake up. Otherwise, it's just like I'm actually conscious within it.

Same here. I have them, but they just happen. And I CAN control if I WANT to wake up, just not if I don't wanna wake up

[Funnlecake]

I can lucid dream only tad bit, but about 50% of the time that i realize its a dream I wake up very shortly later.

Anyway, I used to be able to lucid dream, but I haven't really tried recently. A lot of my dreams are fun so I just let them do whatever.

[BarCode]

psipog.net is the place for you.

[dopex]
