Lucid Dreaming

. . . and the feeling of being thrown around and/or violent shaking
That line comes close to what I was alluding too with my phrase
. . . or something much more . . .err dramatic?
I purposely did not describe it to see if anyone else experiences this. Something like this happens when I transition into the lucid part of the dream but so much more. As far as altered states go I’ve been around the block yet the intensity of this transition blows me away every time. I couldn’t do it justice by trying to describe it here, it is just phenomenal and often better than the lucid dream itself.
 


I'm also curious if this is common....

I'm really good at dreaming...waking up...then falling back asleep and jumping right back into the same dream where I left off right before I woke up.

I can do this multiple times. A lot of the time if I'm having a good dream and wake up, I'll purposely fall back asleep just to continue the dream. :)

I'm pretty sure I dream every single night, and have multiple dreams every night also.
 
They say the best times to try this are real early in the morning , like 5-6 am when your serotonin levels are at their peak. Something about body chemistry. I'm down to try but .... usually my dreams are pretty boring like shopping at Trader Joes or returning stuff at H&M.
I'm going to see Inception next week so gotta wait to read the spoiler alerts on that ish!
 
I've spent over a year practicing lucid dreaming (similar methods as yourself) and was able to achieve lucidity multiple times.

what makes it so interesting is even the level at which I had achieved I wasn't even going that far down the rabbit hole. True lucidity allows for one to be in COMPLETE control to the point where they can have their own version of the white loading room from the matrix.

the possibilities are literally endless.
 
lol word I'm a master lucid dreamer if I should say so myself.

Had one this morning. Tried dunking it on a 100 ft rim but kept missing by a inch. What up with dat?

I definitely have a ton of different dreams every night, I just only remember the last couple of them when I wake up. I know that because if I wake up a bunch of times in the middle of the night I'll wake up from a different set of dreams each time.

If I wake up and then fall back asleep while I'm still in that just woke up haze I can continue my last dream. It doesn't work if I'm awake and clearly thinking for more than a minute.
 
I've had a few lucid dreams they're pretty freakin sweet. I never actually tried to have them I just realized I was in a dream a few times and just started flying around and fucking shit up and fuckin bitches and creating things out of thin air.
 
Any of you guys had stuff you saw in a dream happen in real life? This has happened to me once and it freaked me out, the same exact shit I saw in a dream happened the following morning.
 
I'm no master but it seems like you can use lucid dreams to practice in preparation for stuff you want to do in real life. It's like role playing where you imagine yourself succeeding in something, but the dream experience is so realistic that it is much more powerful for conditioning your mind for success.

Deja vu fucks with you.
 
Have any of you guys that can lucid dream gone from barely remembering dreams -> lucidity at will? Any tips on this?

I've been aware of lucid dreaming for about four years, and I think I've had one in my life. The main dude that researches it suggests that you have good enough dream recall to be able to recall 1 dream per night before you even attempt lucid dreaming. I usually fall asleep with tv shows that I've downloaded playing (last 6mo or so) so I think this affects my ability to remember dreams.

Used to write them down, but I never fully developed the habit and after seeing Inception I really want to get to lucidity. Any tips?

That happens to me a lot, freaks me the fuck out. Anybody have any possible explanations?

Oh yea, Inception was crazy. It boggles my mind that people can come up with ideas like that for movies, it's actually pretty fucking cool that people can come up with shit like that.

This. Only works for things that require physical activity though...

Who the fuck has lucid dreams about setting up your latest fb campaign?
 
The craziest lucid dreams are the ones about people from your past (some you wish not to ever see again)...then blamo!!! You see them the next day in the video store or some similar scenario.

There is definitely something happening on a psychic level sometimes.
 
I was killed in one of my dreams - extremely realistic down to the person that did it (a "friend" who I never really trusted), and the way it was done. Freaked me the fuck out - woke up in a panic, heart racing, sweating etc. Most realistic dream ever, but I always heard if you die in a dream you die in real life, so thankfully that's not true.

I've had dreams like that as well too. Scary stuff. In one such dream, I was sitting in a parked car and was confronted by men wearing masks. They stuck their guns through the window, started shouting, and began shooting me point blank. As I "blacked out/died" in my dream, I woke up in a sweat and almost puked. It felt extremely real and the sense you get of just being alive after a dream like that is unreal.

I've been able to lucid dream for many years. I can't really control it, but it seems to happen several times per month. Hardly any of them are nightmares like the example above. In fact, many are quite the opposite.

This used to happen to me all the time as a kid, though not in many years.
It always sucked when I'd wake up from an awesome dream, and not be able to go back to it.
