I've been lucid dreaming for years; my earliest
childhood memories are those of dreams and controlling them. When I
was six or so, I used to discuss them with my mother -- who, being a
fan of paranormal/psychic stuff, was quite supportive of this.
What I've always found interesting is the perception of time
in dreams, lucid or otherwise. I've had dreams that probably lasted
only 5 minutes, but in the dream it felt like 10 hours... this is
especially true when constantly hitting the snooze button on the
alarm clock.
But, I've digressed. Lucid dreaming is also a
viable means of practicing Astral Projection, as many people can do
AP from a lucid dream. The key is waking up in the dream and then
consciously willing yourself to leave the body. Whether or not AP
actually happens is a matter that has been long
debated.
Anyway, it does make one wonder about the true
purpose of dreams -- if there really is a purpose.

I've been having a lucid dream roadblock the
last few weeks as well... you'll get out of it.
As to the
others. Yes this topic has been around for quite awhile and
hopefully will continue to be around for many more months to
come.

Well I kind of had things like this, I remeber
every single enjoyable dream(not a lie) well I remeber parts that I
rember better when I wake up,and that seem more real when I deam,
and I also have a feeling of control, but I can't really master it,
when I'm in Lucid dream, I do stuff on natural reaction or what I'd
do in real life like just let it flow, but I don't noice its a dream
enoughf, I can't do stuff realy out of the ordinary, like lets say I
wanted a hotdog, I'd just by it but not tip the cart over and take
as many as posslible, or lets say I saw my favroit rollercoster, I'd
go on it but no do something likeclime up it and jump, is there any
advise to start controlling these stages of dreams, (well it once in
my life when I was 8, I was in my old house and my teacher was in
the living room yelling at me, then I wike up for a sec the went
back to sleep, when I got back, it was the same thing then I said,
"no I only dreaming, then I wanted icecream and a cone was right in
my hand, but thats the only time)

I find this a sad time because it is the
final moments of this topic. I'd like this topic to last as long as
possible and stand as the first P/C 500 post non-joke topic. (Which
it will be)
Please lets make it so when I archive it we
don't have people with mass bumpings and much more of content posts.
(PS. Had a dream last night that A mod deleted this entire topic for
off-topicness)
For the other poster it is highly amendable
that you can remember all your pleasure dreams. That is a very
difficult feat. I too, however, can remember quite abit about my
dreaming history.... usually just the dreams i've had within the
last year as well as my landmark dreams such as my first flight
which occured in a green room with absolutely nothing in it. As well
as my first O-B experiance in which I tried to "Be like peeps from
dbz" and shoot a Psi ball... which resulted in what I considered to
be a "soul representing object" to be projected. At which point I
felt drained and feared I might kill myself in the dream. I did not
continue but was able to use that particular sensation to acheive
o-bs in the future. Stuff like that stands out in my mind. But the
fact that you can remember every dream you have ever had is
extremely remarkable.
PS. The site

Kuja, I think the word you're looking for there
is commendable, not amendable...
Why have you suddnely
started posting everything in bold/italic?
And to Da Bear,
how do you know you remember every pleasurable dream? Unless you
remember every dream every night, you can't be sure that one of the
dreams you don't remember wasn't pleasurable...
And I suggest
working on your grammar a bit. |

Sorry for the bad choice of words errrr
non-words rather. I just mistyped it I type at over 100wpm and
mistakes like that tend to occur at that speed. It was not really a
grammer choice just a typo. And I like typing in bold/italic
;)
Also you are highly right about his dream sequences. There
are millions of dreams each night just the ones that form
real-life-like sequences are remembers to any degree and most of
those are forgotten upon waking. However, what i found remarkable
was that he was able to remember dreams that he had throughout his
life. I for one can only remember the most significant and I
consider myself to be an avid "dreamer" However, this shows
extremely good dream recall that will probably make reality checks
and dream sign recognition far more effective for him.
PS.
I'm including this in every post:

When this topic reaches
500 that is the place to continue asking questions about lucid

Well, the first step in getting good at lucid
dreaming is to try adn remember your dreams. I kept a journal type
of thing and now I can remember my dreams every time I wake up. Then
you just do excersises when you're falling asleep and
such.
Just google lucid dreaming, you'll most likely find
plenty of good sites with ways to LD.

well if I did like the dream or if it was boring I
forget it in about a week because I didn't like it, example lat
night I dreamed I was playing on my Gameboy and it kept doing the
samething action over and over agin(I can't rember the game) I'll
forget it soon so that an example, and sorry about my grammer, I
have a hard time with it

There are many things that you can do in
real life to increase your chances of having lucid dreams. Most of
them are somewhere in this topic and are in the main post. (Read
first post on this topic) Bascially you can do the
following:
1, Read up on lucid dreaming
2, Perform reality
checks on a regular basis with some kind of trigger that when it
happens you will ALWAYS never fail do the exact same test to see if
you are awake.
3, Keep a dream journal in which you will record
your dreams in at night as soon as you wake up from it.
Read
the first post in this topic for more details for each of
them
Once again when we reach 500 the place to ask questions
is:

Ok, I'm not sure if this was a lucid dream or
not:
I was in my room, I can't remember what I was doing,
though. Nothing out of the ordinary happened, I just realized I was
dreaming and new it was a lucid dream. The first thing I did was try
to change the environment, but nothing happened at all. I started
concentrating on detail of my surroundings, to see if that would
help. Nothing happened, and then I started to feeling really tired
(or really awake, whatever you would consider it, since it was a
dream). I had trouble staying asleep, I had to struggle just to stay
in the dream. I don't remember it to vividly, and I think it might
that I was dreaming that I had a lucid dream, if that's even
possible. This was my first dream like this I ever remember having,
so was what happened typical for someone's first lucid
dream?

Thats a pretty typical first lucid dream.
What you lacked is substanciation. You need to substanciate your
power over the world. When first starting and even with veterans
when they have a low lvl lucid dream. You must give the subconcious
mind a reason to believe that you can do these things. In a lucid
dream the concious mind is continuously sending requests to the
subconsious mind. However, like asking your driving partner to go
somewhere that doesn't exist the subconsious mind often doesn't
comply. To fix this you have to "draw on the map" Make up something
that isn't real like drawing a castle on a map and saying to your
driving partner "go there" Doing this if well done will make the
subconsious mind deliver any message you want it to therefore giving
you full control of your dreams. Watch dbz and try flying at first
that is the easiest manipulation. Try to make things appear in your
pockets and little things like that. After mastering those little
tricks you should start working on substanciating your maniupation
of the world. Watch such shows as I dream of jeenie which is
excellent as the "blinking" will not only make you substanciate it
but it will also give it a way to change and avoid to often limiting
"omg what will it look like while changing" shock that often halts
this practice of
manipulation.

with Tel'aranrhiod after having a lucid dream.

I doubt it, Robert Jordan didn't really seem to
know that much about dreams, in his books even if you knew that you
were dreaming you would get swept up in your dreams and lose all
control.
Tel'aranrhiod was probably a rip-off of H.P.
Lovecraft's Dreamlands or perhaps had no influence at
all.

np... just one thing... remember that you will

is just the moment you begin to get less excited but while the
information you absorbed in fresh in your mind. Just keep that in
mind if you don't have a lucid dream
tonight.
