With decent recall its as vivid as real life. And you can have some truly crazy sex, an obvious example would be sex while flying but its pretty much whatever you can come up with to do can be done. oh and have you guys ever had a dream that felt so real? that it was the same as how you are right now, and you couldn't tell at all? lol Inception!! Most of my lucid dreams are this vivid, and occasionally I remember normal dreams at this level, but not super frequently. | ||

Lucid dreaming is a lot of fun, controlling dreams can make pretty much any dream really cool in a few seconds. Just saying "Hey I feel like playing soccer now," diving through a wall and playing soccer is a pretty nice feeling even though you know it is a dream. Surprisingly enough the PG rated stuff is often a lot more fun for me, but if I have something specific/someone specific to do R rated things with I wont pretend thats not fun also... Honestly, all the talk about how to do it seems like hitting someone over the head with a hammer... if I had to give a really simple suggestion, start by finding some way to know you're dreaming. When I taught myself it started by rolling my eyes. I never naturally rolled my eyes in dreams, so if I tried to do it and it was hard, then it was a dream. From there on, knowing you're dreaming, it's pretty easy to take it step by step to doing whatever you want. | ||

I've never tried having a lucid dream, but I've only had 2. so basically my question would be, for someone with very good regular dream recall what's the quickest method of inducing a lucid dream iyo. | ||

It's due to me as a kid trying vigorously to focus on remembering dreams, because i thought it meant i was less intelligent if i couldn't lol. I've never tried having a lucid dream, but I've only had 2. so basically my question would be, for someone with very good regular dream recall what's the quickest method of inducing a lucid dream iyo. I woudln't say there is a quickest method. Probably you'll have one in the first week if your doing RC's and thinking about it some. That is just kinda relying on luck however. If you get consistent with reality checks you'll probably get one or two week from that after the RC's get super habitual. If you want more than that or just want to have them faster just start working with MILD or WILD, whichever sounds more appealing and suited to you. So... your telling me that one dream I had as an 11 year old where I could fly at will wasn't just me being insane?? I have tried to have that dream ever since and never succeeded... I definitely have to start trying this. I have always wanted to fly... I even considered joining the air force out of high school just to have that feeling again. This is seriously the coolest thing I have ever heard of. Nope, it definitly wasn't you being insane lol. You can learn to have lucid dreams, in fact with alot of time and dedication it is possible to be able to have them at will. And yeah, flying is hella fun, even though I have probably had thousands of lucid dreams flying never gets old, its cliche but its still one of the most fun thing to do in dreams. | ||

Very interesting blog, and great introduction. Have you tried some "substances" to help/increase the lucid dreams ? I used to drink mugwort tea before sleeping and it works great. The only problem is that if I'm a little tired, I always sleep over 12 hours. I think it might be because when you are lucid dreaming, you brain doesn't have as much rest ? But at the same time I heard dreams, as long as they can look, only take place during a few seconds in your brain. Is it the same with lucid dreams ? I mean, if you have a lucid dream with coherent thoughts that seems to last a few hours, does it really take a few hours of real time ? I know that are a lot of more technical questions, but I love to have lucid dreams, but I basically know nothing about it. Thanks. | ||

I haven't ever tried any substances to influence LDing but people seem to have varying degrees of success. I'm of the opinion is largely a condfidence/mental thing, but, thats just an opinion. Dreams don't take a few seconds, rather anywhere between 5 minutes or so and an hour for an exceptionally long dream. If a dream seems to last longer than that it has to do with how we percieve things in dreams. What happens in a dream is much like a movie, you see a clock say 9:00 and then the alarm is going off and it says 6:00 and we just assume 9 hours have passed, even though we know it was just a few seconds. Same things happens frequently in dreams. You might be walking down a long road, and just jump to the end and then assume that you must have walked the whole thing since its the only explanation that "fits" your beleif that you are not dreaming. | ||
