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 really don't recommend sleep paralysis to anyone if you want a harmless lucid dream. I have suffered from sleep paralysis for a while now and it is not fun. Just like OP said you feel a weight on your chest and hear noises yet you cant move. Some times the weight is a fucking demon or witch staring you in the face choking you, sometimes the voices are creepy ass whispers. A lot of the time your lying there seeing your room in vivid detail and a creature/shadow thing starts to come towards you.
If you want a lucid dream start a dream journal so you can start to pick up patterns between dreams and reality. You will start to be able to question weather your in a dream or not and be able to somewhat control them. But yea, don't try what OP said

The witch is the most common one also known as the "old hag". She will walk towards you and go under your bed, in my case, and you will feel her start to pull you under.
The scariest part of these things is you feel like your wide awake but unable to move. If you do experience this the one way to get out of it is to close your eyes and think about happy thoughts or move your face around and you will wake up.

On the note of sleep paralysis, has anyone ever experienced hypnagogic hallucinations? I thought it was just due to psychosis I was starting to experience but it's hallucinations you get when you're laying down to sleep. I was putting my ipod away after listening to it and the headphone cord just turned into a spider web. I dropped it and screamed and then bugs started crawling on the walls. Kinda sucked

sleep paralysis is often accompanied with sleep terrors and hallucinations. read it up on google, they are not fun. I am not saying everyone will get them but they are common

Sleep paralysis ain't scary if you know it's coming. Worst part is having fucked up breathing/ heart rate. Just deal with it. Hallucinations and shit are kind of cool if you're expecting them

Sounds a lot like astral projection to me.

In my experience, the best way to lucid dream is to work on dream recollection. This means keeping a dream journal. I lucid dream about 4-5 times a week and have come up with cues and patterns that tell myself I am dreaming. For example, I wear a digital watch in real life. When I look at the time in my dreams, it is flashing 12:00. Just little things like that.

Once you learn how to lucid dream, you can learn to bend the physics of your own dream; for example, I have figured out how to fly in my dreams. So whenever, I realize I am dreaming, I fly around my subconscious, looking for girls to fuck.

This post represents a temporary way to lucid dream (You aren't going to follow this process every time you go to bed). For the people who sleep like normal people do, a dream journal is your the fastest and most secure way into the world of lucid dreaming.

this. most of the lucid dreams i have had involved skiing. First i would just fly off the lip of a jump and over shoot it which would scare me because i would zoom over trees and over forests and stuff but later after i learned about lucid dreams and controlling them, the skiing became more intense. One of my most vivid skiing lucid dreams, i still remember the texture and firmness of my ski when i grabbed it in the air. Pretty remarkable.

On the note of sleep paralysis and lucid dreams, i have had one experience last week where i woke up around 5:45 and i said "i have another hour to sleep." I went back to bed and had a vivd dream then it ended and i thought i was awake with my eyes open. It was still pretty dark out but then i heard a noise outside my room, the door which usually is partially closed opened slightly, i didnt see it i heard it. Then there were monstrous footsteps that shook the ground. I wasn't sure if i was dreaming or if it was an earthquake. Right when it seemed like whatever was walking around was at my bed, my alarm went off. I had been asleep the whole time. Scared me pretty bad.

tldr; hear footsteps in my room, ground is shaking. think its an earthquake. wake up.

I literally have been trying this for a good 3 months now. But don't do as OP says and use the WILD technique. terrible idea. I've heard stories of some extremely messed up stuff. Another tip that has helped me extremely: It's kind of like a reality check but what you need to do is simply think about someone who has passed away that you were extremely close to. Chances are they will eventually end up in your dream and your conscious will click and know that it is impossible for them to be there so you must be dreaming. Don't flip out and wake yourself up though. Thats happened to me. Just be cool and go get yourself mad pussy.

voice recorder Will still work, same concept as writing. just using your mind to remember what happened and recording it either with writing or voice.

Never went into sleep paralysis but have had a lucid dream recently. I was driving in my car and realized in my dream that no matter how much I pushed on the gas pedal, the car wouldn't go faster. Then I decided to slap myself in the face and when I felt no pain I realized I was dreaming. I kept slapping myself in the face and yelling "wake up" and then I woke up. It was pretty cool but I wish I would have embraced the dream instead of trying, and succeeding, to get out of it.

Tried this last night, and it was INCREDIBLE! within 10 min i was 'dreaming', i was skiing powder like ive never seen. next i was going through this vortex of colors, it was like a crazy trip.

Here's the scary part

I actually lost sense of reality. i was laying in bed, and i realized that, but i didnt know if i was in a dream or in reality. it was paralysis, but i mentally couldn't get myself to move. it was nuts, i felt like i was lost. finally i got a bad itch and my body scratched it on its own (if that makes sense haha), and then i woke up and everything was all better. crazy experience

Sounds cool where did you buy these?




Possibly more effective than the better known Dream herb Calea zacatechichi, this is the first time that this unique and rare ethnobotanical is offered for sale and made available outside of Africa. Normally only the seeds are available but we have finally managed to locate a supply of the actual root which is used by African shamans for accessing the dream state.

This sacred plant which shamans of the verdant river valleys of the eastern cape province of South Africa has the ability to induce remarkably vivid dreams. A web site describes this plant:

"This obscure flowering species is regarded by shamans of the South African region as a type of "Ubulawu" or medicinal root that they call "Undela Ziimhlophe," which translates literally as "white paths" or white ways." It is suspected that this sacred plant's oneirongenic, or dream-inducing activity is likely due to triterpenoid saponins contained within its roots. Relatively small amounts of root (250 mg range) are reported to be active. The plant exerts only minimal alterations in waking consciousness, yet the effects upon the dream state can be profound.

How to prepare Silene capensis (Ubulawu)

Method 1 :
Half a teaspoon is mixed with half a cup of water. This is drunk early in the morning upon waking, while the stomach is empty. When you feel hungry it is safe to have breakfast.

Method 2 :
A heaped tablespoon is mixed with half a liter of water, and the water blended until a froth is formed. Keep sucking the froth off the container until you feel bloated with froth, and then go to bed.

Expected Results :
While sleeping, your dreams will be exceptionally colorful, and will be remembered upon awakening. (A good idea is to keep a notebook handy for writing down the results.) Ubulawu is traditionally used to access dream-time and to communicate with ones ancestors.

Precautions :
Use the recommended amounts only; the actives are active in these doses. Larger amounts will have a purgative action, however there are no fatalities or harmful side effects reported, only a good vomiting and cleansing out of the stomach. Small doses over several days will affect even the most insensitive person, so there is no need to take a large amount.

Drink it on an empty stomach, and then when you feel hungry, you can eat. This will give the alkaloids time to travel through your system. The effects will be felt that night. The alkaloids travel quite slowly through the blood system, so it won't get excreted out during the day. Before going to sleep, focus on a question you want answered by the ancestors.

One of the ancestors will appear in your dream with the answer. This plant is not just used for vivid dreams, but as a divination tool. For more insensitive persons, or for people who use other alkaloids or have other alkaloids in their system. A more `clean' person would be more sensitive. The alkaloids from using some over a few days would build up in your system.

A personal report from someone who was initiated as a sangoma (traditional healer) says the group he was with used 1/5tsp. (powdered) over the course of a week. He felt effects from day 3, and everyone in the group felt effects during the course of this week. We now offer Silene capensis in an easier to use powder form!!

dude you dont remember at all do you?

We were at windells earlier this year and you took a nasty fall on a cannon rail, you knocked yourself into a coma for 30 or so days. I dont know how you know about us drinking at the airport tho, we got fakes in the city while you were hospitalized and we visited you.






































Wake up























































Youre still dreaming


















































This isnt real

Had my first memorable sleep paralysis moment. It was weird as fuck. I thought my dad walked into my room because I saw a shadowy figure at the end of my bed and it sounded like he was whispering my name over and over again. I tried to say "what?" back to him but my mouth didn't open. I snapped out of it somehow and realized my dad wasn't in my room. It seemed like he was and he was calling my name. This is some scary shit.

I am an occasional lucid dreamer. IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO FUCK WITH. Most of the time they are quite fun... but occasionally i will have a nightmare combined with lucid dream. Nothing is more terrifying, because you are stuck in a horror movie, just trying to survive/save someone. Its worse than a normal nightmare because your sentinent when you have it. I have watched my family get killed and not been able to stop it (although i did kill a few people) The effects that can have on you when you wake up is rediculous. I try to not have ythem any more, becuase they have been getting increasingly violent (even my good ones).

In middle school when i used to play football i would be like half awake half asleep and would think people from my team were standing at the foot of my bed talking to me and I would respond and when i spoke it would jar me out of it and i would be fully awake.

This would repeat at least 10 times a night whenecver it happened
