Lucid Dreaming

[oli90]

Was just taking a nap and started to dream vividly, it ended up turning into something I didn't like, a nightmare basically. Usually I'd have to just ride it out so to speak. However I somehow managed to force myself awake, almost using whatever consciousness I had in the dream to manipulate my body in the "real world". It's hard to explain but has this happened to anyone else before?

It's a bit more specific than that, unless you're just being anal.

being able to force yourself awake when in a bad situation in a dream is fairly common for me, and i can sort of do it without having an actual lucid dream. i honestly think i play to much video games because whenever i am not liking my dream i just press alt +f4 on a keyboard that randomly appears and my dream stops and i wake up. (just like i do when i get pissed at my video games in real life)

however lucid dreaming is different then that. at least for me. when i lucid dream i am fully aware that i am dreaming whilst the dream is going on. it is a very weird feeling indeed. its like you have some control over your dream but never total control. for instance if you want something to appear it doesnt just appear in front of you, you have to look around a bit and then it is often behind a corner or something. one time i was having a lucid dream and right when i realized i was dreaming i was like hey fuck walking around and just flew up into the sky at an amazing speed then flew around the city. it was fucking dope. another time i realized i was lucid dreaming while walking through the main lobby of a busy office tower. as the people walked by i tried to stop them and talk to them because i knew it was a dream and wanted to see if they said anything interesting. the weird part is all of them gave me sort of an evil grin or smirk or even a giggle and just pushed by me. i couldn't get any of them to stop. i even tried phsyically holding them and they outpowered me and walked off. was very strange but cool at the same time.

i find i most of my lucid dreams take place on a night after drinking. i wake up earlier then usual (like 2-3 hours) and find it very tough to go back to sleep even though i know i am tired. but when i do get back to sleep very often its into a lucid state. tbh it feels like a strong hallucinogenic drug the way everything seems so real, but at the same time you know it isnt. it is a very interesting realm

When you realise you're dreaming and don't wake up that's when you can start to lucid dream. Of course you can do that and just let the dream roll on, I've done that the last few times - I quite like natural dreams. Lucid dreams drain me and leave me more tired than when I went to sleep.

my experience too, used to rule my dreamland, but that's not right i guess...
apparently dreams' role is to balance your psychic, your consciousness taking over your subconscious there won't help that...

[xarcane]

But basically what you did is nothing like lucid dreaming, that's just shocking yourself awake from a nightmare.

True, the one experienmce that made me stop lucid dreaming was once I was just mucking around, and went round shooting red heatrays from my hands and incinerating people. Then whilst i was skipping between places I didn't go where I wanted and got trapped in this giant prison-maze thing. Since I was in a dream, I just imagined some doors, bypassing the maze and walked right through. When I got outside some old white guy was there waiting for me, and blasted me with a blue heatray and zapped me out of my dream. That episode freaked me out so much, I've only lucid dreamt a couple of times since.

i disagree there.if you can face what your sub-concious is presenting to you , in a lucid and conscious state, you stand a better chance of idenitifying whatever it is your subconcious is trying to show you.

obvious example but if your being chased by something, 9 times outta 10 its more beneficial to face it directly than to keep on running or letting it play out.

your'e lucid... you can make the dream(s) as tiring , or as refreshing as you want.

hahaha, the subconscious is the puppeteer and the conscious is the puppet, we don't have the slightest idea actually why we do what we do.
anyway, this was where the subconscious told you: get the fuck out of here and never come back!
and that's enough reason for me to come back, but i didn't have similar dreams

whatever i want to happen there i can get it happening
except i can't wake up after lucid dreaming as refreshed as after normal dreams. and i can see why too, as explained above... you missed the point, it's not about how you feel during the dream, but after...

[d-T-r]

they're both linked. how you feel after the dream is determined by how you feel in the dream. if the dream is of a refreshing nature, you'll wake up with that continued sense of refreshment. i guess of course it would seem that there's a lot more brain activity in a lucid state than a standard dream state which is why it could feel tiring for some .

I agree, obviously you can do whatever you want during the lucid dream, but when you wake up, you're back in the real world, your brain just feels tired from basically still being awake when you're supposed to be sleeping. Doesn't matter what I'm doing in the dream I wake up tired.

The thing about that dream was that it didn't feel like my subconscious. I know it sounds ridiculous and I'd usually be the first one to say the only world presented in your lucid dream is your own subconscious, but that man did not feel like part of my subconscious. People in my dreams can't do things like that, they are just normal people. I also forgot to mention that earlier in the dream some people had tried to gang up on me. It was weird, but they couldn't blast me like the old white guy did or attack me, they just surrounded me in a circle and started talking really loudly all at the same time to try and disorient me. I nearly slipped out of lucidity, but i just got angry and incinerated them all with one massive blast. Then I tried to teleport and found myself in that maze thing, was puzzled for a second, but then just realized if I imagined I was walking to the exit I'd get there - the old guy blasted me as soon I got out, and took me by complete surprise. It's like the maze-prison was never made to contain me, just to make me get over-confident so I would lower my guard and the old guy could blast me.

If the dream world was just my subconscious I could lucid dream without a problem, but I'm not so sure it is any more...
