Lucid Dreaming Techniques

I remember ZMA giving very vivid dreams at first, but fading as time went on. Some were lucid to a point, but that was irregular and I never tried to control it.

GABA also gave some very vivid dreams, but I don’t recall any lucidity to them.

Also, if you’re going overseas(like say, to the middle east) to a malaria infested area, don’t forget your doxycyline. That stuff gives you some really f-d up dreams. Extremely vivid, totally off the wall stuff. Woke up more than once sweating slightly, rapid breathing, and the dream I remembered was usually something innocuous, like playing with my kids or something–no danger in sight. This effect also fades with time, the longer you take it.

I have written about this some before, I also can have them but it does take some effort and a bit of practice to have good ones. Anyone should be able to accomplish this in a month or so though. whoever said 100,000 is incredibly wrong, I have no Idea where you got that number from but thats impossible to even know, let alone even reasonable to believe.

The flying dreams are probably the best. This one was cool I was running down this big hill and I started jumping and at first it felt like I was just staying in the air longer because the ground was lower at my landing point than if it were flat. But after a few jumps, I noticed that I was staying in the air way too long for this to be normal it almost felt as if there was less gravity, like if I were on the moon or something. I was kinda Gliding.

Then I just kept concentrating on staying in the air longer and eventually I was only breifly touching the ground every several hundred of feet or so. Kinda like in crouching tiger hidden dragon, when they jump around in a gliding manner off trees and walls and water and such.

Another dream I was in a glider plane and there were two big stable tornados that I would sling shot around back and forth, that was pretty fun. One of my favorite dreams was a dungeon crawl I did where I was a staff weilding mage. I was roasting these monsters with fireballs left and right. It did get scary once when they started to overwhelm me but then I remembered, there is always a room clearing spell in any good wizard arsenal and while it would drain my magic I could just rest afterwards and regain it.

So I messed them all up with an uber lighting shock explosion spell that radiated out in a circle around me. That was such a beutiful spell. The monsters were like the brown hellspawns from the first doom game. You know the brown humanoid things that you run into in the very begginning and have to beat on the whole rest of the game.

My most recurring dream Is giant waves. I lucid dream the most in these but it kinda sucks because I can never do anything really cool. For some reason I can never gain full control over these dreams and while I can always do something to escape the path of the wave I can’t ever ride the wave or make it stop or anything like that. It’s always just like “now how am I going to get away from this damn wave, jeez it would be nice if I had a cool hoverboard or something, he look theres one right there” Jump on it and fly away but watch as the wave destroys everything in its path.

I have even had a lucid dream about aliens visiting earth. It involved huge waves also so it was very weird, but in the end they were the friendly explorer type aliens, not the eat your guts, dominate and enslave humanity type aliens.

And one more for the road, there was this one dream where I had this cool mechsuit on. Not like a gundam or anything that big but more like a supped up body exoskeleton. It had jump boosters and could hover a bit and descend slowly from a jump along with a sick high powered arm cannon. Yea so I was engaged in combat throughout an old ruined city and was like jumping from rooftop to rooftop blasting away at enemies and doin sick manuevers and of course I was the deadliest mofo in the whole place so I basically wasted everyone.

One thing I find that enhances the lucid dream experience is to go with the flow of a started dream and just make modifications along the way to enhance the experience. I find that when I attempt to change a dream into something totally different Like say, banging 4 hot chicks, or even 1 hot chick. Sometimes it feals too dream like and it just ends up being stupid. Like i’ll start off on a street corner and my inclination is that there is some shit thats about to go down with some made up rival gang or something and i’m like fuck this I want to bang hot chicks right now.

So I walk down the street and open this house door and inside is a dimly lit bedroom with two blonde sexboms muff diving on eachother and of course they invit me right in. Well soon enough I’m distracted and staring at my fucking hand making trails in the air or something and then 2 seconds later the fucking gang busts into the room and starts trying to attack me anyways. In any event needless to say my experience was less than what I truly wanted.

In other cases though, I have just went along with what my dreams were unfloding into and a little later I was in fact banging hot chicks. And generally those last and are mucho enjoyable.

How bout we all tell some of our better lucid dreams so we can motivate people to get on the horse and start having them, seriously, they make being alive much more enjoyable and you will have a much more fulfilled life. Just like in the matrix, your mind makes everything quite real for you and you can do some awsome stuff that just isn’t possible to do in real life. And bloody hell if the mind doesn’t improvise well too. Like when I did the lightning surround spell, I actually felt the energy cracling out of my self as the spell turned my magic power into electrical energy and then blasted it away from me.

I pretty much know what it feels like to blast a fireball out of my outstreched hand. And I know what it feels like to fly, I mean I can think about it while I’m awake and remember the feeling I had in my gut when I was flying. Just as much as how I remember how the great drive on hole #5 felt yesterday in real life. ok enough with this book. as you can tell I havent been around alot latley due to a change in the workplace. Needless to say i’m a little fucking deprived so I’m like binging here.

Sorry I did misquote it but the guys who write for this site are some of the smartest men on Earth so I’d believe them over anybody including you.

I had exactly the same dream. Man, it feels good!

Glad to see so much discussion on the topic.

I just thought it would be cool to try and hear other people’s opinions.

Any tips for those people that can’t remember their dreams?

My dads stronger than your dad. End of story, discussion over, you lose, I win.

I didn’t go to the link, but I don’t care how smart someone is, Claiming to know the number, or percentage of people who can lucid dream is the same as saying that only 100,000 men have bigger left testicles than right testicles. The only way for anyone to know this would be to measure evry human males testicles and keep records of this, including when one man that fits this category dies, another has to be born to take his place.

Also you don’t know me and have no idea of my backround or how smart I am. The old It’s on TV so it must be real thing is all I can think of right now.

Also lets state that lucid dreaming cant even be proven other than through personal experience, and the fact that if you don’t remember you dream you can’t remember it being lucid. And… given the fact that our knowledge of the dream state and what why how it exists and functions is only the tip of the iceberg, it’s fairly safe to say that nobody can put a legitamate figure on who can experience lucid dreams.

Ok figured I’d go see what the hell you misquoted. Umm yea, it is ESTIMATED that fewer than 100,000 people in the US can have them. This tells me that they think it’s hard to do and they are guessing at a number of people who can do it to make themselves look cooler. "hey look at our lucid dream club, only a 100th of a percent of people in the US can have them, come see if you fit in bla bla bla.

Nothing I said made them right and me wrong so I don’t get your whole, they are smarter than me so they are right statement. And honestly, if you could butcher the meaning of what they said so badly, you are hardly the one to judge who is smart or not, you can’t even comprehend and follow a simple idea such as an estimate. An estimate is as good as a pile of shit and you took it as fact. My 5 year old doesn’t even do that stuff. I estimate that you piss your bed still and your mommy has to change your sheets every day. And since i’ve proven that i’m smarter than you, I must be dead on with my estimate. Have fun wetting the bed.

Less than 100,000 people in the world are capable of lucid dreaming. My best advice for incredible REM sleep(when dreams occur) is to stay awake for over 24 hrs preferably 30-36 hrs then sleep. Sleep duration shouldn’t be more than 12-14 hrs but dreams will be incredibly vivid.

That’s never worked for me. When I stay awake for extended periods of time and then crash, there’s never dreams involved.
[/quote]

Same here. I’ve done the 36+ hours awake before (not by choice) and when I did sleep, it was hard sleep, with no recollection of any dreams. Just my head hitting the pillow and then my eyes opening as my wife told me how long I’d been asleep.

I can do it. And my dreams are better than your dreams…

I’m not very good at it though, otherwise I would need to change the sheets every day:$

I can sometimes manipulate the dreams I have, but I have rarely been able to manipulate WHAT I dream about. For example, if I’m being chased by a monster who is trying to kill me, I can say, “hey, this is a dream, just turn around and beat the hell out of the monster”. And then I do it. Occasionally, if I’m having an awesome sex dream and semi wake up, I can will myself back into that dream and get back to it.

Also, now that I brought it up. Once or twice, usually after getting really cocked, I have had a dream that I was over the toilet pissing or pissing in the woods or something only to wake myself up to pissing myself. This really sucks but I just wanted to see if anyone else had this experience. I always wonder if having to piss makes the dream happen or is it the other way around. Having the dream, makes your body do what it’s dreaming about and you piss yourself.

If having to piss makes you dream about pissing, does getting a boner in the middle of the night make you have a dream about sex? Is this when those dreams occur? What if I strapped a little massager to my dick when I went to bed. Would I have a dream about sex or at least that someone was rubbing my dick all night?

Weird.

Quite a long time ago I became interested in lucid dreaming and was able to induce the state. I haven’t done this for awhile but am planning to try to get back into it.

The information that I read referenced the fact that the best way to induce the ability to lucid dream is by remembering your dreams. I don’t know the premise behind this but may look into it now that you all have reminded me.

At any rate, it takes ahile to be able to remember your dreams. In my case, as soon as I woke up, I would write down as much and as many dreams as I could remember. Often, this wasn’t very much, but the ability to remember grew with time. Writing dreams down would have proven worthless if I hadn’t gone back and constantly reread them. While reading what I wrote, it would jog my memory to the point of actually remembering the experience in the dream.

If I recall correctly, it took me about two months before I was finally able to lucid dream.

I would echo Vejita’s statement: don’t try to totally change your dream, at least not at first. One lucid dream that still stands out, years later, involved my standing in a large backyard. The yard was fenced in by one of those two-log natural looking fences – the type meant more to mark property than to actually keep anyone out. I remember realizing I was dreaming. I then thought, “It’d be really cool if there was a stream right there.” Low and behold, water splashed down from a low hill and became a stream. I was able to make many other changes, but that is just an example.

Anyway, glad this came up… I’m off to try doing this again!

I have pissing dreams ALL the time where I’m pissing like I’ve never pissed before - I’m talking massive amounts. I never piss myself, although every time it happens I’m afraid to wake up to find out. Thankfully, it hasn’t happened (yet).

are you married? and if so, was your wife next to you when this happened? and if so, how did you handle that situation?

Another really helpful site I came across:

This is a very good site with a lot of information.

Supposedly all you have to do to remember your dreams is keep repeating a mantra like “I will remember my dreams” to yourself before you go to bed.

I can’t believe other people have experienced this as well! These kind of dreams are frustrating more than anything for me; they just repeat over and over, and I can’t stop them by waking up because they come back when I fall back asleep.

I’ve had it happen with Tetris, doing math (I’m an engineering student), and even doing work on my computer at my job. Usually it will be something like trying to solve a calculus problem but the calculations never end, or playing Tetris when the game never ends. It’s frustrating as hell and I’ve never found a way to combat it.

Wow what an asshole you are. I feel sorry for your kid. Boy if we weren’t on the interet I’d…

And your dad may be stronger than my dad but my brother can beat everyone in your neighborhood.

And for your information it’s been 2 weeks since my last bed wetting.

it’s really much less than 100,000 people in the world. it’s 7, and apparently we all just contributed to this thread

never in my wildest dreams…

It’s possible but the hardest thing is staying asleep when you do realize you are having a concious dream where you can control what you’d like. Many times after realizing such I accidentally woke myself up.

ZMA does have a huge effect for the first intial night or two but I noticed it wanned off. I heard about lucid dreaming glasses which would blink when you were in deep rem which gave you the cue that you were dreaming. I just tried to be concious of it and it worked. Sex dreams seem more fun than flying but harder to control. It’s the realistic feeling which makes lucid dreaming so sought after.

Not married and no no-one was in bed with me either time it happened. Both of them were a few years ago and over a year apart. I thought of the incidents as kind of humorous. I guess if someones uptight they could think of it in another sort of way. Most people get extremely embarassed over shit like this. Since I don’t give two shits what other people think of me, I just think it’s funny. What was really funny was my friend who has a clothes hamper right next to his toilet. Well one night we crash at his house after a night out and he sleepwalks in the middle of the night to take a piss, but opens up the hamper instead of the toilet, pisses in it, and shuts the lid down. Now that is damn funny.
