I’ve had about three in my life, I think maybe I ate too much cheese before bed, had a nightmare and then realised was just a dream.
I fucked the shit out of a girl I used to go to school with and went flying the other times
Ironically I dreamt (is that a word?) about making this thread last night.
That and getting stung by a big bee and pulling the case off the bee to find a microchip and circuit board… My dreams are lame

Yeah mine are a lot better
I was very interested in it when I was a teenager, and I managed to have a few lucid dreams. Lucidity was always tenuous, at best. As one pays attention to one’s dreams, one has a tendency to remember them in more detail. Eventually it started to seem like a job; waking up and spending over a half hour following the strange threads of my dreams, all my observations about the possible meaning of those elements, my feelings toward them, and so on. Too much work. I’m too lazy to have lucid dreaming as a real hobby.

When I feel like working at it I can control my dreams to a degree. Learned to stop smacking into the earth anyway. Most of my dreams are unpleasent to say the least. It sucks seeing as it seems I dream constantly.
This happened to me twice last summer. Maybe you guys can explain what I had.
I’m sitting on my front porch just veggin’ out watching the world go by enjoying the sun and life in general. I go from one thought to another and for no reason I reach down for the remote control. In my mind I was actually trying to change the channel on life lol, twice. WTF?

I’m not a scientist but I would recommend more books and less TV in your down time. Maybe more sex or the banjo or something, but anything other than TV.
I lucid dream quite often via meditation in a quiet room before bed, Vitamin B6 And Galantamine
helps, as well as smoking a bit of legal “calea zacatechichi”…wow, colorful fascinating dreams
with that one…but you need a good source, my cabinet is full of good natural dream
enhancers, L-Dopa was a little disappointing…crossing the blood brain barrier is more
challenging with that one, but it could have been the brand…IDK.
In other words, you gotta do shit most people don’t do to really get your dreams vivid.
EMF brain bombardments/Electronics in general are always the fly in the ointment…Kill your TV, Keep that
friggin’ cell phone WAY far away while sleeping, DO NOT get on your computer for hours prior
to sleeping…again, do the shit the masses DON’T do, people think I’m crazy when I tell them
I would rather Lucid Dream for week, than spend a week in Hawaii, that’s how amazing by lucid
dreams are…Fucking amazing, a gift, but a gift we squander by our inventions, bad emotions, and hectic lifestyle.

How did you do it?[/quote]
I could be wrong but I think that the old hag is related to sleep paralysis which is different from lucid dreaming. Personally I have been interested in lucid dreaming but haven’t really gotten the ‘control’ part together. I have had experiences with sleep paralysis though and that sucked.

I think the key is practicing. When you know you are dreaming, there’s a part of your brain that knows it and make sure you keep telling yourself that it’s a dream it’s a dream! while doing crazy shit.
My best lucid dream:
I was about to go down on Vivian during a 69 when I noticed a pinhead sized frog egg attached stubbornly between the 7th and 8th folds of her labia.
I tried to blow it off. No use.
Then I examined it with a microscope and saw a white, almost see-through elephant floating in the middle of the egg like a nucleus, with what looks exactly like me floating around it like an electron in extreme high speed.
I put down the microscope and started licking the egg until it squirted out creatine like a lazer beam.
All the while she gave me the best blow job of my life.
Afterwards I gained 10 pounds.
Also, write down all your dreams in a dream journal. If you do this, it will make lucid dreaming more frequent. But I think the most important thing is to keep thinking about and believing that you will lucid dream at night during waking hours.
Hope this helps.
I haven’t lately but as a kid and a teen I was able to have lucid dreams easily. I also had the old hag thing (but never knew what that was until recently.) Never thought they might be related. Must just mean I’m gifted with the crazy

most likely
I’ve done this quite a few times. Thank god “no” doesn’t exist in the dream world if you don’t want it to.
Trying to walk the line between being conscious enough to maintain control and still be in the dream, is the hard part.

Yes! I can’t tell you how many times I finally realized I was dreaming where that in and of itself woke me up.
I’ve had a few instances of sleep paralysis. 2 nights in a row awhile ago. Feels like you’re about to be murdered.
I read about the sun-eye method of lucid dreaming years ago, never got too into it, but might be worth checking out for anyone interested

I’ve seen this from you before
LOL I thought this was normal. I’ve been doing it for a while now. It gets bad before I have to sit a final – I’ve had instances of reciting French and doing math problems, all while I’m asleep yet “in control.”
I have had dreams where I knew I was dreaming and in sometimes I could control them. Ive had sleep paralysis before, and even dreams where Later on I couldnt tell if I had been dreaming or asleep, like I did somthing or told someone somthing but then later on I couldnt remember if I had actually dont that or was dreaming.

It’s even better when you not only realise you are dreaming and still asleep thus becoming partly concious in your dream state, but actually manage to give yourself a concious command to do something in your dream (mine was looking at my hands)

Very interesting. I’d be a bit worried about the old hag thing though.

I’m not too sure what you and others mean by the old hag thing? I did not mention anything about an old hag in this post.
As for how I did it…
The first time was purely because I noticed a discrepancy with the time of day.
I had woken up to the alarm with the intention of going for a bike ride at dawn and had gotten up out of bed to check out the day. I pulled open the curtains a crack and looked out at my street and saw the sun coming up on what looked to be a lovely summers day.
I was pretty wrecked from a tough week at work and a big night out so I lay back down on the bed for a bit to chill and wake up a bit more before going out.
I fell back asleep and then started to dream of doing exactly the same thing in my dream…except this time when I pulled open the curtains a bit to check on the day it was night outside with alot of stars and a newly risen moon.
That is when I realised that I was alseep and dreaming because I knew it was not night time.
I had a pre-arranged command to give my self should I happen to become aware I was dreaming and I managed to do it, which was to tell myself to raise my hands in the dream and look at them. (this is a classic “dream command” to use from the works of Carlos Casteneda) I looked at my hands and that is when I fully realised that I was doing concious volitional things in a dream world where that sort of thing does not normally happen. Ie the crazy dream things just happen to you and you don’t even realise it’s a dream till you wake up.
I realised that I was doing something like I was awake but that I was asleep and dreaming.

To my knowledge the Old Hag is related to a different sleep phenomena known as sleep paralysis and not lucid dreaming.
I’ve had the old hag thing happen to me once. I wasn’t scared or even nervous just slightly annoyed followed with intrigue. I figured if I just went back to sleep I’d wake up normal next time and that’s exactly what happened. Never occurred again in my life.
