Lucid dreams? Interesting. I do have them with quite some regularity. Actually everytime I remember my dream afterwards it seems that I am able to "tweak" my dream a bit. Makes things kinda interesting.

I've never had dreams where I can conrtol what I'm doing like driving a car or making sweet sweet love, but I have been able to wake myself up. My dreams are usually like me watching a movie of myself. So during scary dreams I turn to myself and say, "This is a dream Emily! Wake up!" and then I listen to myself and I do. It's been a while since I've had one of those, but it is just an indescribable experience... as most dreams are.

Since we're on the subject of dreams, is there a name for dreams within dreams? Like, you wake up from a dream, only to still be dreaming? I once had a dream where I'm certain I "woke up" at least five times before I finally truly woke up.

Oi, I remember it ever so vividly, I was like in total control of a dream once, I was only about 10 at the time but I still remember it well. It kinda felt like I was looking down on myself sleeping from down on my dream cloud eventhough I felt as if I had just awoken. I held out my hand to see what was really my physical me, I remember realizing that I was in control and I decided to see if I could wake up and I just sat up and was awake. It was really wierd...but soooo cool.

Those are called "false awakenings" they often occur after pre-lucid, lucid dreams and "out of body experiences" I've had a couple of false awakenings and they're rather interesting when you look back on them. I for example sat down in my false awakening and documented the lucid dream that I had just had in great detail, something I later did when I woke up for real. Gave me all sorts of weird deja vu feelings :P

"Waking Life" (movie) has a lot of fun with these phenomenons.
As for lucid dreaming, I've long had experiences where I realized I was dreaming but couldn't control anything. So one time I realized I was dreaming and was very determined to exort some sort of influence, and ended up jedi pushing/pulling on people just walking by. Knocked a lotta people down... with my mind! That was funny. |

Ha ha, I've had maybe two dreams in my life that I've realized and understood completely that I was dreaming. The first was when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. I was sitting inside the cabin of a tractor-trailer in a junkyard. Oddly enough, the inside of the tractor-trailer was huge, enough for about 10 people to sit inside comfortably. After talking to the people in the cabin, I all of a sudden had an "epiphany" in my dream. I realized that I was dreaming, and that none of these people were real.
I looked at the person I was talking to, and I said, "You're not going to believe this, but you're not real. I'm dreaming, and nothing you say means anything." The man I was talking to looked at me really weirdly, and gave the person beside him a concerned look. I told everyone in the cabin that they weren't real, and that in a few minutes I was going to wake up and they would all disappear. They got really angry at me, and told me I was being mean. Hey, it wasn't my fault! Ha ha. I tried to explain to them why they didn't exist, but of course it didn't make any sense to them. When I decided to wake up, I reminded them again: "Ok, I'm going to wake up now." They just stared at me really, really creepily the last time I told them that. That instant, I woke up and remembered the entire ordeal. No one really believes me when I tell them of this dream, but I know it happened. It was pretty interesting, if not a bit on the creepy side. -Lasereth

mm. interesting. I've had false awakenings and lucid dreams before, as well as visions-dreams that have come true. though indeed, there are a bunch of threads already on lucid dreaming on TFP, and I'm sure that in at least one of them, there's help-instructions for the induction of lucid dreaming, if anyone's interested.

I've recently been working on ataining this skill. In doing this I reopened a memory of a few lucid dreams I unknowingly had when I was very young. All of them had to do with my flying. They were so realistic I was convinced they were real; that I could fly. Eventually I forgot about them until very recently. Weird, huh?

I lucid dream almost every night;although I don't have many "false awakenings", which is good. Often, I can control what I am doing in the dream, like turning a bad dream into a good one. Another cool thing I can do is wake up, pee and/or get a drink, and then go back to sleep and continue the same dream--especially if I really want to.
Lately, I am really tired, as it seems I am only in r.e.m. sleep and not going deeper, so that I have many, many dreams during the night and not deep sleep, which really sux. Anyway, lucid dream can be quite cool and you can see/experience really neet stuff.

I've never actually heard of lucid dreaming, this is so interesting.
For 1 night I would have a continuous dream that I was in a nazi camp. I knew I was dreaming! I would wake up and then will myself to go back into the dream. If that makes sense, I can't really explain it. I made it so that Hitler liked me and let me pick out my own outfit which was this really cute renaissancy dress. lol It was just bizarre. I knew I was dreaming and I wanted to continue the dream so I just kind of did. Is this the same thing as lucid dreaming or is this me just being a little crazy? |

I can't say I've ever had a lucid dream...just not my thing I guess. I don't think it'd be beneficial for me to even know I was dreaming at the time - my dreams are fuckin weird, and I prolly couyldn't do half the shit i wanted to do :P
A thought: How can you be sure that you aren't just DREAMING that you realize it's a dream??? another words...your realization, is part of the dream... |

I lucid dream, I suppose, about once a week. It's not something I've had to train myself for, it just sort of happens naturally.
most of the time if I take a nap in the afternoon, I sleep and I realize I'm dreaming. If the plot of the dream makes me too mad, I'll force myself awake. Although I hear such interesting music in my head... |

YES!
I had one last night.... for a few seconds... It was night and I was outside on a road, one direction had a very steep hill. Then randomly I was like "Dude this is a dream... try and make something happen!" I made a car almost drive into me, then tried to make something happen to some person, but failed and woke up. |

I seem to have lucid dreams quite often - at least every couple of weeks or so. That's the moment I decide to try something I could/would never do in real life. Sometimes something cool, something new, or sometimes something violent.
My favorite is jumping off of something a few hundred feet in the air - like a really tall building or a cliff. Because I'm semi-aware of what's going on, it really feels like I'm flying, and I get a similar sense of euphoria that I do when skydiving.
