have a few beers before you go to bed will help immensely when you are trying not to move and just lay there for a half hour

THIS x1000.

The CORRECT way to induce lucid dreaming takes weeks to occur.

First, you must find multiple triggers. As mentioned before, looking in a mirror is a good one. You will always look distrorted. Also, in dreams, you never have 5 fingers on your hand, nor will you feel anything when you pinch yourself.

The way to induce lucid dreaming is to knowingly perform these triggers RIGHT when you wake up, and DOZENS of times throughout the day. You want to make it a HABIT for your body to do these triggers and expect a certain result. After doing these triggers A SHIT TON of times when you are awake, you will start to do them in your dreams, but find another result. This is where the trigger happens. Your mind will realize something has changed, which will induce "lucid dreaming". You can now control your dreams.

One of the big tenants of lucid dreaming practicing is dream realization. You want to remember as much of your normal dreams as possible. When oyu wake up, wake up slowly, and keep a journal by your bed. You remember more when you slowly wake up.

Another trick to remembering your dreams is to set your alarm clock 2 hours before you normally wake up. This shoudl cause you to wake up mid dream, then re-entering you back into that dream, which will increase the chances of oyu remembering greatly!


Doing all this shit, becoming more familiar with your dreams, the triggers, can help you achieve realization, which can help you control them, with practice.

Lucid Dreaming RARREELLLYYY happens on your first try. Its much more complicated

You must really fucking blow at using the search bar op.

i dont want to sleep now

would this work with headphones in... cause it would probs increase the trip.

and what if... you never woke up :o

put your headphones in and listen to white noise.

Inb4 i'll post an epic story, i assume, without reading the whole thread that you have seen the movie "Walking Life" or will download it at once.. it's the smartest, coolest movie i ever saw.. it's all about lucid dreaming!

BTW!..

Sleep paralysis is the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I straight up get afraid to sleep some nights. Feels like the fucking devil is holding me down.

Ok, apparently this thread is about to die as i write, but i said i was gonna tell a story, so i'm just gonna post it anyway, it's a good tell!!

First pardon my English, I'm Norwegian!

Well, it was a few months ago, when me and my buddy sat at a nearby bar to grab some bees before we hit the town. We where talking about lucid dreaming, when a older man just came out of nowhere and sat down by our table and went like: "So, you guys talk about lucid dreaming huh? Well if your not already addicted to that stuff i suggest you'll leave it!"
We went like, "why? it's amazing!" and he started to tell his story that went something like this:

it's gonna fuck you up.. sooner or later! Myself discovered it when i was at high school, around then i did it as often as possible, it was insane! I got good at it, real good, and as you probably know, when you get good at it, you can do anything!
so after high school i bought my own apartment, i was never a very social guy, and now whit this obsession of dreaming lucid, I'll say i locked my self up. I figured dreaming where way cooler than actual life! When i was awake, it was boring, you know? You can't just do stuff! so when i was awake, i lighted a spliff, wrote down my dreams, eat and just wanted to go asleep again!

So you see, it became everything, i was exploring this shit! I started to try and push my dreams.. You know when you think "I really wonder what's gonna happen if I ..." or "I'll wonder how the people around me react if I just stop giving a fuck about norms, and just stand up, and take a leak inside the buss when it's driving!" whatever.. this part where so interesting!

Well, here's the problem! I  started getting problems with my methods for knowing when i was dreaming or not, I figured because everything just where kinda floating, i couldn't just watch my clock, try to turn of the light, or watch my self in the mirror, it was all the same, the shit did'nt work anymore!
I didn't think of the consequences back then, not even when I started waking opp in jail, instead of my bed back home... every fucking day!
Apparently I had just walked straight in to a electronics shop and taken a bunch of stuff I found nice, and then tried to walk straight out again! I thought i was dreaming! i was like, wonder if i just can go and grab the stuff i want here, and not pay for it! I remember it well, of course i was awake, so it kinda makes sense!

I was high as fuck when the caught me, bringing me to jail.. Worst place ever, In that place you know, just a little cell and a backyard, just routines all day, in my conditions, no way if i could tell if i where dreaming lucid or just being awake!
I finally, after walking around in there being a nutcase, I got to talk to some doctor in there, figuring out what to do etc. 6 months!

No I'm here, I'll never smoke again, and I try to not dream lucid, but when you have been dreaming lucid for years it's a bad habit to turn around.. only thing i know that works is to get hammered before i go to bed, witch is bad as well, I can still pee on the bus, but at least i won't try to rob some electronics store!"

We couldn't say anything, and he left!


His story is sick, and after seeing that guy, i believe him! I still dream lucid once in a while, but i don't think the shit is very healthy to do often!

threADS

when this happens it is scary as shit, and one of the weirdest feelings ever

^^^^ No way???

My friends and I used to discuss this in creative writing senior year all the time. We all went over to one dudes house and all tried it together. Apparently if the vibe is right in one room every one can do it. We all did. A few of us have been getting into astral projection since graduation. I've only gotten it successfully once. But I have a whole journal of lucid dreams and my attempts of astral projection, shit is rad

I watched it last night, and awoke to this thread.... this is too much of a coincidence!

DREAMING!!!

Haha! But if you're dreaming right now, and I read this post, doesn't... Woord!

this shit sounds crazy. i had similar experiences when i was on pain killers after surgery. i would have the craziest dreams every single night, had to stop taking them cause i couldn't handle it.

hahaha the first time i lucid dreamt i did exactly this.

treads

Want to try this but I don't think I can stay still for even 3 minutes

i was talking with a friend and we were wondering if its possible to lucid dream and study while you're doing it haha. idk just a.couple drunks thinking too much?

Ive had this sleep paralysis once before, but the thing on top of me was this giant all powerful feeling green reptillian human screaming throughts at me (like he wasn't talking but yelling at me still) and he was shaking me and shaking me.

fucked.

but anyways i guess im gifted because i thoughts most dreams were ment to be able to control and be aware of the 'dream' state

been doin it fo years

Yes, but if the exact material that you are studying shows up in your dream, you most likely already know it word for word and do not need to study any further.

I tried the finger induced lucid dream method last night but once i woke up i wasnt that sleepy so i think that messed it up. Gonna try getting up at a different time and see if that works. Oh and bump :)

Not convinced the dream master needed bumping

Ive done this about twice and one time it worked, I was honestly so scared the first time because i was laying in the dark hallucinating and i coudnt move.
