Lol, it always does. It's like your brain knows at that moment "This is not reality **** IM NOT AWAKE"

 

[Evil Eye]

Everytime I start to lucid dream my issue is that I become aware of the sensation of my body in my bed, which kind of puts my dream perception at odds with real perception and wakes me up

I dunno if this is because of my, like, years of chronic insomnia or what, tho

[adumbrodeus]

Not sure if surprised that he didn't have sex with her, or horrified that he considered it with a girl just lying there facedown.

So much this.

woah, who said anything about her being face down?

and the reason he considered it was because he knew he was dreaming, so he can do whatever the **** he wants. He just didn't cuz he'd wake up.

 

[Mari]

Huh....I had a dream onc when I was driveing to the store and then I remembered....I CAN'T F***ING DRIVE!!

Then I woke up all "Da Fudge...?"

 

[ranmaru]

I have dreams where I am driving but I push on the pedal too hard and then I can't decelerate. Or that I'm driving from another seat and I'm like "WHY the **** did I start driving from here" and it gets uncomfortable and I can't stop or move during driving.

 

[Kantrip]

Yeah whenever I'm driving in a dream the brakes always take effect reeaaaaaally slowly and it never ends well.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

I had a dream where I dreamt of dreams I dreamt of in dreams. But then I woke up and realized that it was all just a dream.

[#HBC | Nabe]

Canada Cup finals, yeehaw.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

Whenever I have lucid like dreams, I can only control parts of the dream and other things can't really be moved or altered by me.

It's wierd.

 

[BSL]

It's sort of like real life. You control some parts of your life, but you can't control everything.

It's weird.

 

[Shun Goku Satsu Rake]

It's sort of like your living a half life, with full life consequences.

[glow]Lucid Dreaming[/glow]​

There are 5 layers of lucid dreaming each containing two levels within each layer: Major & Minor.

Layer 0

Minor:
-Not quite lucid.
-Thinking about being lucid while in your dream, but not recognizing that you are dreaming in that moment.

Ex: While in dream, thinking "Man I hope I have a lucid dream tonight".

Major:
-Brink of lucidity/non-lucidity
-Recognizing that some things are odd or surreal.
-Being able to reset your dreams/change the out course when you don't like the current direction.
-Waking yourself up from a nightmare.

Ex:

I did it once. I realized the situation in that nightmare was so ****ing prepostorous that it had to be a dream. I then jumped out the window and flew away to go play basketball.

#baller

I've only had a "lucid dream" once as well (if you define a lucid dream as 'becoming aware during a dreaming state of being and consequently being able to consciously manipulate the dream). It wasn't anything special though, I more or less realized I was in a dream while someone was about to stab me, and then I pushed myself out into a different room (like, everything around me just shifted into a different room). Think the room was white, but can't remember exactly. Then I forced myself to wake up.

Layer 1

Minor:
-Realizing you are in a dream, but then immediately waking up because of this awareness (unintentionally).
-Realizing you are in a dream and choosing to wake up with full intention (similar to L0M but more calculated).

Ex:

One: I was throwing the frisbee with a friend of mine in the street at night. He threw it over my head, so I went back to get it. On the way, I started to think "Man, that would be scary if stuff monsters and stuff were hiding in the bushes over there. That would make this a pretty scary dream. Wait a second... this is a dream..." And then the bushes started to rustle (as did my jimmies). At that point I thought to myself "This is no dream... IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!!" I proceeded to forcequit the dream. Forcequitting the dream was really really weird.

Oh hot damn we're talking about lucid dreaming? Maybe yous guys might have some advice

I've been trying to lucid dream for a while now (while also putting forth next to no effort to make it happen). I was really interested in the WILD approach, and have certainly felt SOMETHING happen but it never leads into a dream (its hard to describe the sensation, but it feels like everything getting dark and static-y)

Other than that, there's been like 2/3 distinct times where I've realized I was in a dream and the dream just .... breaks. Everything freezes and I can't make it move. The frustration makes me wake up within seconds every time.

Major:
-Realizing you are in a dream for a bit, but eventually lose grasp on that realization.
-Realizing you are in a dream and then having a "false awakening", waking up from a dream into another dream.

Ex: You realize you must be dreaming, but then wake up and proceed with your morning and get ready for school. In reality you are actually still dreaming and are woken up later by your alarm.


Layer 2 (First Layer of actual "Lucid Dreaming")

Minor:
-First layer of prolonged dream experience
-Realizing you are dreaming, but not really understanding everything that comes with that.
-Not fully aware of logic of the real world.

Ex: Trying to convince your dream characters that you are dreaming. This is illogical to do since the dream characters are just figments of yourself.

Two: I was asleep during reconciliation (yay catholic schools?), and in my dream, I fell asleep (INCEPTION!!!!1!1). In the level 2 dream, I was sitting next to my friend watching YouTube videos. I went in and out of level 2 a few times. Then in the level 2 dream, the class period ended. All of a sudden, I realized I had my laptop and no where to put it. I then realized I never brought my laptop to school, and instead it was a dream. I ran out the room, and was immediately in the parking lot. I then tried to run to my car to drive to the moon or whatever, but it was like I was on a treadmill. I had to grab onto a fence, and pull the ground along as I stepped by grabbing the fence next to me. I awoke when I started the car.

Major:
-Still don't fully understand all the implications of being in a dream.
-Dream characters understand more than you do. Will attempt to aid you.

Ex: Dream character telling you that you are in a dream or that something you are doing is illogical.


Layer 3:

Minor:
-Understand the full implications of what it means to be dreaming.
-Clear/vivid.
-Dream characters still not aware.
-Only able to control bits. Still seem like an observer of the dream rather than in full control of the dream.


Major:
-Understand full implications.
-Clear vivid.
-Still unable to fully control.
-Dream characters "understand" that they are figments of your imagination.


Layer 4

Minor:
-Fully broken through.
-Clear vivid.
-Full control (god mode). You consciously manifest everything.
-Dream Characters don't realize they are part of your imagination.

Major:
-Fully broken through.
-Clear vivid.
-Full control (god mode). You consciously manifest everything.
-Dream characters do "realize" they are a part of your imagination.

I've only gotten to L3M once (the water bending one), L3m a few times (the flying through construction one), and generally have L2M-L3m when I do have em.

Everytime I start to lucid dream my issue is that I become aware of the sensation of my body in my bed, which kind of puts my dream perception at odds with real perception and wakes me up

I dunno if this is because of my, like, years of chronic insomnia or what, tho

I'd probably put that in L1m. Out of curiosity, have these come from deliberate attempts at lucid dreaming or they just happened? When ever I got to sleep with the intention of lucid dreaming, this tends to happen to me as well because I'm only every really half asleep. I've learned that I just have to not try and force it and wait for them to happen whenever they come.

 

[ranmaru]

Same. I might try to read a book or something if the power is out. Something to keep me not bored.

 

[ranmaru]

You know, it's quiet rare that you realize that you are dreaming. At times I have just randomly.

One time I DO know that seeing my 2nd grade teacher's boobs deflated (since at that time, I didn't know how actual boobs would look like) made me aware I was in a dream lolz.

Also get this

I'm shopping with my dad

he says

CARLOS

I'm like WHAT I'm right here

He yells again:

CARLOS!!!

I'm like WHATTTTT

Carlos, get up!

I'm like huh? Get... up?

I realize he was calling me from real life lol. (To get up for school)

 

[BSP]

I think the mario sun has scarred more people than some random adultswim video.

True for me. That thing scarred the **** out of me.

> Hurricane Sandy

So who's ready for Hurricane Sandy?

Cat I lol.

Lucid dreams? I know I've had 1, but I think I only hit L0.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I hit the higher ones on that list I think but not becoming god of my dream or something.

 

[BSL]

In middle school, my mom would leave to bring my sister to school (HS started an hour before MS). To wake me up, she'd leave a phone by my face and call it when it was time for me to wake up.
Soooo many times I'd try to answer it, only to find it still ringing.
I was dreaming and I only dreamed answering it.

Similarly, I occasionally have dreams where I'm doing something and there's a kid shouting over and over again, but the kid's shouts are actually the alarm sound.


Scumbag brain.

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

So I brought up lucid dreaming with my dad to see if he had ever done it. His response was, 'Oh, that's the thing where you know you're dreaming and can control it right? Like when you're with your friend and then you decide to cut off some guy's head and become king.'

I like to imagine every time he went lucid the first thing he did was behead someone around him and become king of the area.

 

[BSL]

...cool

 

[BSP]

BSL, I had something similar. I dreamed that I went through my entire morning routine and was even at school. Then, I woke up and had to do it all again.

Unfortunately, my dreams have been getting progressively blank. I guess I'm just not remembering them as well anymore.

I lol'd to this. He sure knows how to Lucid dream.

Also, I have had the "I need to pee" urge during the night, so then I went to the bathroom and peed. Wait, no I didn't. That was just a dream. I wake up and I'm still needing to pee. What do I do? Lay there because I'm too lazy to go pee. Then I dream about peeing again. xD It was torture.

Through this entire endeavor, I haven't actually peed myself. I did go to the bathroom in the end.

 

[BarDulL]

Aw shiz, missed your post Zen. I'm going to try it out later and see what I come up with.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

Saw Jets v. Miami at MetLife, was my first time at a football game and everything was phenomenal, except for the Jets. But being a part of an audience of die-hard fans being disgusted by their team getting two field goals blocked, their QB sacked a couple odd times, and Sanchez throwing a couple of interceptions especially one at the touchdown line was a pretty thrilling experience. It was actually like I was in the eye of the storm.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

I literally almost never remember my dreams, but I actually had one last night. It was really weird, I remember playing some kind of fighting game, but my brain must not have decided whether it was Smash Bros or Street Fighter, cuz I remember seemlessly switching from Blanka to Link at some point while playing. I also remember knocking my opponent into the blastzone and killing him, as Blanka, but I distinctly remember the health bars being up top, not %s. It was some kind of online tournament or something, and for some reason I was winning, which is weird because I'm terrible. Must have been because nobody else knew how to play this ****ed up game but me, cuz I don't remember thinking it was a weird game at all, but I did find it odd I was winning.

There was no level of lucidity, to my knowledge. I had no idea I was dreaming. All the oddities became apparant to me the instant I woke up, but no sooner. Usually when I have bizzare dreams, I don't realize how weird it was until I've been awake for awhile. Like, if I had a dream where I got shot in the back, I'd wake up with immense pain in my back where I had been shot, and I probably won't realize there's no actual bullet wound until I'm in the shower or something. Or if there was a lava pit in the bathroom in the dream, I won't even realize how absurd that is until I go into the bathroom and see that there's no lava pit.
