This little post should clear up any problems
regarding lucid dreaming for people who have never had one or don't
know what it is:
Lucid dreaming: is when you know you are in
a dream and know your real body is in your bed yet you have no
trouble controling your in dream body and don't have problems not
moving your real body.
1, Understand the following: Lucid
Dreams Happen during REM(Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. REM sleep occurs
about once an hour increasing the length each hour until you wake
up. During this time you can have a lucid dream meaning you are
aware that you are dreaming and everything you see is in your mind
and your body is in bed.
2, The key is to realize that
nothing is really real. At the same time it is fun to keep some
realism just for effect usually at your first time you will have
little control. Now then for #2 do things during the day everytime
you remember too and whenever you have an opportunity. Look at your
hands and study them, do they look more red/smaller than usual? If
so think about why this might be so. Then look at a clock and then
look away and blink and look again. IS it still there? How much has
the time changed? Then when walking around your house study every
detail that pops out at you even if the hallway just appears more 3d
for some reason. Don't expect to suddenly realize its a dream this
rarely happens.
(After doing this for a day or so you should
notice results. Usually you will suddenly know you are dreaming
usually with no idea how you got into the dream or what the dream
was about before you became lucid. What actually happened was you
were going through your normal dream cycle and then you performed
one of those checks and realized you were dreaming usually you don't
remember performing the check but it works so keep doing those
checks in real life.)
3, Staying lucid. Once becoming lucid
for the first time you will probably wake up either right away or
after a minute or so. Don't fear. Go right back to sleep and don't
force it. After having one lucid dream the rest come rather quickly
for the night. As soon as you are lucid look at your hands and then
spin in a circle. DO NOT CLOSE OR OPEN YOUR EYES. especially when
learnig opening or closing the eyes will wake you up mainly when the
dream starts to fade. If you notice the dream fading get on the
ground and spin and look at your hands.
4, Having wicked
fun. Fly Fly Fly. The first thing to do is fly. Probably nothing but
a float if you've never done it before but soon you'll be flying
like super man. If you have trouble achiveing high speeds or flying
period watch shows such as DBZ (Surprizingly it works) and the
Matrix 2. (3 isn't as much flying) Try to imagine propelling your
self. That is the biggest trouble imagineing what force is moving
you and that has to be yourself your KI (DBZ) lol I say DBZ because
they explain how they fly. lol. go online or something and catch the
one where that guy teaches the girl to fly that should get you into
the spirit. Anyways. Flying is fun and increases the vividness too.
Fly fast enough to feel wind ripping past you. (Might seem like i'm
saying how fun it is but it's important)
5, Things not to
do. I highly suggest that you do not engage in any kind of sexual or
sensual intercourse while dreaming. Not at first at least. This
tends to end the dream real real quick especially for a novice at
the art of lucid dreaming. Also do not stand around if you can't
think of something to do spin or fly some more.
6, Final
Notes. Lucid dreams are usually very short rarely spanning for more
than 5 minutes which in itself is a very long time. When you wake up
go right back to sleep and keep your adrenaline down cause the
closer to the morning you get the longer the dreams can be.... just
don't get too close or you'll experiance dream fading.
One
last thing if you have a sleep walking problem do not lucid dream if
you feel you are in a lucid dream wake up immediately becuase YOU
WILL act out your dream. Often killing yourself or someone
else.

This is a good idea, but sadly people will
ignore it. I applaude you for trying though. I've tried
before.

Er, I'm not sure. I've never really tried that.
Although if you succesfully havea lucid dream, you could make
yourself stoned. I guess.

This makes it sound like a lucid dream is as
real as the real world. It sounds awesome. I hope I can figure out
how to do it.

........ It is auwsome... lol i don't know how
vivid lucid dreaming is for other people but for me it is exactly
life like lol. Once I flew really fast through a window right after
becomeing lucid and when crashing through the glass a large sheet of
glass stuck to my chest and i had to slow down to get it off lol.
Its as real as you want it to be.
With practice you can do
anything.

what is the point of this...
i don't understand i can understand the part of making us look at
clocks and hands abut this is just like you are playing around with
us, and how frequent do you have lucid
dreams

Its tipe to help you stay lucid.
I have
lucid dreams almost every night. All with the same level of control
over myself and some general control of my surroundings. As long as
i get enough sleep i'll always have a lucid dream but sometimes i'm
busy and long sleep is not possible.

and btw... those techniques have been proven by
people far greater than me to work. Looking at your hands and
spinning improves you senses in the dream and allows you to stay in
control and not wake up. Go to any site and you'll see
that.

What if you almost never remember your dreams?
Plus even when I was in the dream I would never remember to do all
that stuff! Is there any way to improve odds of lucid dreaming
before you go to sleep?

Dreams contain parts of events that happened
during either your day or recently. So, it might pull a part from
when you were checking if you were dreaming or
not.

Yes. There are plenty of ways of
improving.
To help remember dreams some will say to start a
dream jornal. This is a little annoying and didn't seem to help me.
Spinning will help once you get in the dream to improve
vividness.... all in all as soon as you are lucid say to yourself
several times i'm in bed right now this isn't real. if you can't do
this than you arn't truely lucid and should continue to do the
things i said in the other post.

LOL at "I'm in my bed. This isn't real." It
reminds me of the Matrix. Has anyone done that just cause they were
bored? Went up to Morpheus (sp) and said "This isn't real?" Then he
would say "Your mind makes it real." LOL coolzers!
I had a
lucid dream for two secs but when I realized it I went up to a
person and looked at them and yelled "This isn't real!" Apparently
if you become too excited in a lucid dream you wake up. Never had
one since.

Yea.... lol also avoid moving your eyes down
because when you do that your real eyes do that too and most likely
your eyes are slightly opened meaning that you will see the real
world and wake up. loL happened to me once.

lucid. Is there anything I can do to help me.

Well...... You really must do a combination.
Lets go all out shall we?
Do everything above
Before
going to bed do this subliminal message for at least 5 minutes 10
minutes is
recommended.
http://www.geocities.com/dreamtime_lucid/sub1.html
Now
heres the cut off point. There is two ways to fall asleep. One takes
a very very long time and often it gets too frustrating to continue
however it almost always works. The other way is much more relaxing
and usually works provided you have been doing everything right
particuarly the subliminal.
First the long gauranteed one:
When in bed get in a comfortable position that you will never have
to adjust to stay comfortable. Then DON"T MOVE. CLOSE YOUR EYES.
DON"T MOVE AT ALL. Think of nothing but lucid dreams keep your mind
alert though. Think of what your dream will be and repeat it will
bea dream. Soon you'll feel a tingle in your hands and arms and
finally your legs. This is sleep paralasis. Don't worryh its
natural. Now during this time it will be very tempting ot move.
DON"T stay there. And after a hour or so you will drift off and have
a 100 percent chance of being lucid because your body will be gone
but your brain fully functional.
The easy relaxing not so
gauranteed one: just relax and sleep make sure you followed
everything i said. This is my personal preferance.

Sometimes, I come to a point that I'm aware of
my dream, but somehow I'm afraid to really try anything
strange. Often I'll end up "acting out" what seems to be a preset
story of some kind.
A neat thing happened to me this
morning.. I had forgotten to set my alarm last night, and, at the
end of my quasi-lucid dream, I heard my mother calling my name (I
was just outside the backdoor), but I also heard a mysterious
whispering voice around the side of the house, it also was calling
my name. I thought about coming inside, because that seemed to be
where my mom was calling from. But instead, I went to investigate
the other voice. As I reached the corner of the house, I woke up,
and it was about three minutes after my normal alarm
time.
