How to lucid dream tonight!

i search barred it, nothing came up. so here we go:

The most effective means of lucid dreaming is to invoke Sleep Paralysis. This is where your body has been shut down by your mind, but you are still awake. Your dream states begin and you are fully conscious the entire time.

I found this is the quickest way for someone to begin lucid
dreaming on the first attempt.
Lay down to go to sleep. This works best if you are extremely tired.
Lay on your back with your arms at your side and eyes closed. STAY
PERFECTLY STILL. You must stay awake. Your brain will send signals to
your body to see if you are ready to sleep. These signals include
getting an itch, wanting to change your body position, or wanting to blink or move your eyeballs (remember your eyes should be closed). YOU MUST IGNORE ALL OF THESE IMPULSES. After about 20-30 minutes you will feel a weight on your chest. You may even hear weird noises. You are now in sleep paralysis. If you open your eyes you will begin to hallucinate (dream with your eyes open) and you will not be able to move your body. Your body is completely asleep. Now that you are aware you are dreaming. You can shut your eyes and begin to dream about anything you want, instantly. You will be fully aware you are dreaming and can now (with some practice) control your dreams.

Now that you are lucid dreaming there are a few tricks to:
A. Check to see if you are dreaming
B. Stay dreaming while fully aware you are dreaming
A. You can do a few things in a dream to test and see if you are
dreaming.
You can flip a light switch. Flipping a light switch will never turn on
a light. Most of the times it does nothing.
Another thing to do is look in a mirror. You will never see yourself.
Once you have done this, you have confirmed you are dreaming, and now have control over your dreams.
B. Once you realize you are dreaming, your mind will try to wake up.
The best method (I found) to stay asleep and dreaming is to spin in a
circle (in your dream). This part of the brain will take all of the
attention away from waking up and now you will be into a DEEP sleep.

Good luck!

I semi-mastered lucid dreaming a few months ago, but stopped doing it after I shot somebody in my dream. Anyway, I tried this method when I first started and it really fucking sucked. I entered the sleep paralysis stage and started hear the sound of marching footsteps. I tried to open my eyes and saw what looked like dark figures closing in on me. Finally I managed to wake myself up, but I was scared shitless to sleep again, so I didn't.

i wanna try this but i have entered sleep paralysis before. shits creepy as fuck. usually happens to me around exam times and when i am stressed out. Its even happened to me or something similar when i was taking sleeping pills to help me sleep. they would knock me out and i would feel awake but i couldnt move and all i heard was a loud screeching noise.

Fuck that sleep paralysis sucks. It sounds harmless until you feel like youre strapped down in your bed convinced aliens are about to probe you or you literally feel like somebody's suffocating you or you see some crazy fucked up shit and try as hard as you can to scream but nothing comes out. I would never willingly induce sleep paralysis. That shits nothing compared to a night terror though.

This,
they make sleep paralysis sound fun, you are literally pinned down, if your room lit on fire, youd be stuck..

Holy Fuck, this is not a troll thread. It actually works

I was just lying in bed, I started to feel tingling in my feet but I didn't do anything. I had a really bad urge to itch my arm but I still didn't do anything. 2 minutes later I started to feel something kind of heavy on my forehead. My forehead kept getting more and more heavy and then I started to sink deeper into the pillow. I felt my breathing kind of restricted and this weird tingling feeling kept on passing up my body. I felt like I was in quick sand and I was sinking through my bed, I couldn't get out and when I opened my eyes I was in my dream.

I am never doing that again

Don't expect too much. I've noticed, at least for me, its usually hit or miss and takes a few tries. I have to have 8ish hrs of sleep and even then about 90% of the time I realize I'm in a dream but the dream continues on - its as if I refuse to control my dreams and instead just try to live within them.

I receive a feeling that somethings wrong, mid-dream - for instance I'll think to myself why the fuck am I doing xyz action, or why is my watch on the wrong hand, why am I wearing these clothes I hate, or why isn't the clock moving? - at this point I'll realize it's a dream because its something I would normally not do. In one notable dream I noticed I slid down stairs like goo or a more liquid silly putty - at this moment I realized I was in a dream, but rather than doing something cool I told everyone within my dream that I knew I was dreaming and continued sliding down the stairs like goo.

Sleep paralysis is nothing to fuck with. A few months ago i had it, and slenderman came out from behind my surfboard and starting getting closer and closer to my bed. Not chill.

If you do opiates before you sleep you can lucid dream but it's not as sick as actual lucid dreaming

Man this sounds so interesting I have to try this. I'm sort of scared of the creepy stuff that can happen during sleep paralysis though.. Dreaming can be so fucking awesome.

to all the guys with overly negative experiences with sleep paralysis: do you have "regular" nightmares too?

because i cant remember a single nightmare in my life, everything is just fun and harmless. even if its somewhat terrifying, i dont experience it that way.

and i wonder if and why that would change when i try that lucid dream method.

I can't ever remember a dream i had the previous night. It always feels like I do but just can't seem to picture it. So if I can't even remember a dream I don't think lucid dreaming is going to work for me. Thats what I think can someone correct me if i''m wrong?

I suck at staying in a lucid dream. For me there always a graffiti dream and once I realize im dreaming somebody comes to wake me up, usually someone chasing me away from the wall i was painting in my dream. I keep trying to fight it, even threw a flash light in the guys face last dream but then he chased me and i took of running and woke up again. Its kind of annoying its like the second i realize im in a lucid dream and start to have fun with it someone shows up and scares me awake and i know its coming and cant stop it.

I tried it last night but I could only stay still for a couple of minutes before I got scared and went to bed. I was tripping the fuck out though, I could feel my body getting heavier and sinking into my bed, my eyes getting heavier. I opened my eyes at 1 point and had to move my hand around because I thought I was dreaming. Its just weird concentrating on staying still for so long. I'm going to try it again tonight.

When i was In sleep paralysis it was so scary. So my bed is up against the wall and i was sleeping on my side facing the wall . Then iafter i enter sleep paralysis i start hearing all these scary as fuck noises from behind me, and it felt like there was something behind me bit i couldn't turn around and see. I was honestly scared to go back to sleep.

I always end up dreaming when I know I'm dreaming. Like when I wake up the next morning I realize that I knew the whole time I was dreaming, but I never do anything about it.

Last night I had a terrible dream about demons and shit like that, but I was never actually scared. It's like I knew I could change the dream if I wanted to but I never did. Kinda weird haha, I woke up like damn that was cool, not like oh fuck that was scary.

Will try this technique tonight though, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Im fairly good with being able to have lucid dreams.  Im not an expert but i can control my dreams like half of the time if i try to.  In my experience with them (I've had at least 50 fully controlled dreams) there pretty awesome but ive only been in sleep paralysis once.  I entered sleep paralysis on accident, my roomate was puking and my brain woke up before my body.  I saw a girl that looked like the ring girl walking on all fours towards me with her head upside down staring at me.  DO NOT DO THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SLEEP PARALYSIS.  It blows hole.  Go with the dream journal method because i would personally rather never have a lucid dream again in my life than experience sleep paralysis one more time.  That shit sucks.
