Once in a while I am able to have a dream where I know it's a dream. It's like I realize I'm asleep but then realize I'm also dreaming. It's a frickin' trip and can be fantastic!!

Last night I knew I was dreaming somehow so I was like "sweet....I'm going to see if I can fly". And I was able to fly. I was also able to breathe under water. At first I felt like I was stuck under water and I started to panic, but then realized I was in a dream and therefore had nothing to fear so I just breathed in water and was fine!

The other part was that I was able to wake myself up from my dream when/if it got to intense or scary or stressful. It was weird and trippy and I liked it.
 
I often have dreams that seem very real but even in a dream state I am able to figure out that it can't be real.
 
Weekly, but many of them are a mix. I've been doing it for years, ever since I was a child. I've done everything from matrix flips while fighting "agents", to manipulating dream constructs for sexual gratification. Fun stuff sometimes.

It all began when I found a bag of gold while within a dream, and at once I knew it couldn't be real. You see, it was my cynicism that awoke me to the illusion. I knew that I could never be so lucky, and therefore I must be a dreaming.
 
Occasionally, I do. Sometimes I will know it's a dream but I will just go along with whatever random scenario I am in. Other times, I will take control and do crazy shit.

The last lucid dream I had, when I realized I was dreaming, I started shooting people with my finger. The weird part is when I spoke, I had a rough Eastern European accent for some reason.
 
From time to time usually when I get some z's at an odd hour, naps often
 
Rarely. It's more like I am playing a part in a movie and occasionally realize it's a part and start to improv. But it doesn't seem like the rest of the dream is obliged to obey me heh.

Once I said fuck it and tried to hape but alas my morals woke me up before I could.
 
Somewhat often. I keep having dreams about performing autofellatio, so now that's my cue to realize I'm dreaming and get lucid.
 
There is a way to do it at will, takes a ton of practice. It has a lot to do with paying attention to your surroundings in the dream to keep the dream going, even though you realize in your mind that your body is laying in bed.

When you first enter a lucid dream, there's a tightrope to walk, a stage of it where the dream easily changes form, or you wake up due to thinking inside the dream.

I have been lucid dreaming for so long that there are whole places, (like 20 city blocks) that I can go back to, and it's always the same. Same structure, hotels, casinos, restaurants.

The hardest thing to do is engage in any kind of meaningful conversation. I used to walk around asking people if they knew it was a dream we were walking around in, and would only get nonsensical responses, answers that have nothing to do with the question, or silence. But then, the craziest and most unbelievable thing happened.
 
I can understand how people could think it was real. It could drive people to do odd things if they aren't able to rationally see it as a dream. I've had ones that seemed to last for hours but were actually only minutes.
 
It's an interesting topic!

I have had many lucid dreams over the years. One that really stood out for me was one where I dreamt a nightmare in my dream but I knew it was just a nightmare because I knew I was dreaming.
 
Yes. Anytime something bad is gonna happen, I'll realize Blimey, this is a dream!
 
I have them often. Depending on how much I realize it's a dream will dictate what I do. Most of the time I'll fly :) If I can really get in control I'll have sex with someone.

Even more scary is Sleep Paralysis. I have both.



Acetylcholine (made from choline) is an important part of
regulatory pathways in sleep and many cognitive functions.

Acetylcholine in the brain alters neuronal excitability, influences synaptic transmission, induces synaptic plasticity, and coordinates firing of groups of neurons

These people go full retard with these stories. Basically, you have precautions when sleeping. It helps prevent you hurting others or yourself when thinking.

Sleep paralysis kicks off when the body is asleep and the mind fires. Its not in sync. It was terrifying the first time it happened. Through yoga and transcendental meditation, I have come to rest with it. You just breathe through it.

Time is fucked in the state. secs feel like eternity. What is so terrifying from the experience is that, you feel like you are in purgatory; between heaven and hell. You cannot over power it. Even to wiggle a thumb feels like lifting a ton.


As for lucid dreaming; look into hemi sync and astral projection. Look into meditation and tapping into alternative levels of consciousness. I want to go to a Peru retreat with shamans one day and do the tea ceremonies. Not ready yet. Explore your consciousness; be a free thinker. Challenge yourself. Be on your life path. Be about self knowledge and awareness.
 
I'm not proud of it but I usually just go around grabbing asses and titties when it happens.
 
Yes, but I go to sleep drunk and always have nightmares. I try to control my dreams, but usually wake up bloody, naked and confused.

I have that problem without dreaming. A friend of mine once told me: "I hope nothing happens to those women because you left your fingerprints all over them".
