Nice post.

What are the big lucid dreaming forums, websites? Dreamviews, which has already been mentioned, is a great one for tutorials or personal help. LD4all is big too. | ||

As a child, I always had HORRENDOUS (and I mean horrible TnT) nightmares, and I've flown multiple times lucidly, but they always were in response to some giant evil that was pursuing me... I don't dream too much, but when I do, it's always totally unclear/unrecoverable, or is so graphic that I wake up in cold sweat or something... Occasionally I get a warm and fuzzy, happy dream, but then, most of the time I'm not lucid. Go figure. | ||

Man I wonder if those savants or something can create ultra realistic dreams. Where clocks and shit work in real time with high response haha. I'm curious on the ramifications though. Maybe the brain keeps you unaware for a reason? I mean if you say there's built in dream erasing mechanics hehe. Anyone know if they've studied the benefits/consequences of having really high lucid dream rates? | ||

Does knowing that you are dreaming worsen the effects of the dreams? edit: I'm gonna try out lucid dreaming today. Wish me luck on it working! Also to the guys having sleep paralysis, try to sleep more. Wikipedia says an easy cure is to just get enough sleep. My paralysis only lasts for a few seconds, I don't know if it's because I'm trying to move my body which forces me to wake up. I try very hard but it barely budges, like my entire body is hopelessly numb except my eyes. Then my body eventually just breaks free of that numbness and I can groggily wake up. I think this is the best option since I'm never able to just calm myself down when paralyzed to just go back to sleep. | ||

(also @Hidden Motives: )It probably won't work on your first try, unless you're just suited for lucid dreaming or you can very quickly learn, etc., so don't count on it working. I, for one, still can't manage to get a "good" lucid dream ARGH! :[ | ||

Today I had sleep paralysis for the first time EVER... in a car... that was really hot. Must be something that causes it in those conditions. Pretty crazy. | ||

If so, then the answer is definitly yes. It's a scientifically proven event. If you mean controlling dreams and such then yes, that is also possible because if you're aware of the fact that you're dreaming you can do whatever you want since it is a dream and no rules of reality apply. | ||

Maybe I'll try on weekends, but I can't afford to lose precious time (whenever I attempt to lucid dream, I end up waking up and falling asleep very quickly without my noticing after about the first 7 hour period of sleep, and then I sleep waaaay too long lol). Obviously, I shouldn't expect some magical lucid dreaming action to happen right off the bad, but I realized that I definitely can't try on weekdays *sigh* Thanks a ton for the thread though, Lucidity Master! I bet I'll eventually be able to dream lucidly sometime. My main problem besides directly not being able to dream lucidly is that oftentimes my dreams have extremely limited tunnel vision with nothing much happening, so I don't even get an urge to lucid dream, and the boring "dream" is over really quickly :/ | ||

I, for one, still can't manage to get a "good" lucid dream ARGH! :[ Well the last two dreams that I woke up from these two mornings were rather boring and more daydream or thought dreams than action. I think I just don't have anything interesting to think about. Today I had an excellent opportunity to lucidly dream. After class, I took a one hour nap, and had a dream that I woke up from my nap, and used the school computers. I really wanted to use the ones there but in real life I couldn't, but in the dream the computer had extra features. Like I said dull. Then I dreamed about my mom yelling at me  . But I could easily have realized the dream were not real had I tried any techniques/had an eye on my hand. I didn't because I thought people would think I was weird if I drew an eye on my hand. Pretty dull dreams. When I woke up, I wasn't sure if I really was up or in another dream so I tried to lucidly dream but I couldn't visualize anything. Then I heard people talking in the other room and realized I was definitely awake.I know it's strange that I had a dream in one hour when sleep cycles are 90-100 mins, but I did and it was a relaxing nap :D | ||

My biggest problem is that my dreams just aren't very clear to start with, so I can't even do reality checks or anything of the sort since the entire dream is so unfocused, and I often dream with tunnel vision. I also can't figure out whether I should use the WILD or MILD thing. | ||

http://obe4u.com/ According to this website they call it an out of body experience, or astral projection. It's probably best to skip the text on this site until below the guy with the huge arms. I don't think it has anything to do with either of those, but something actually happend last night. I was practicing a technique called straining the body, where you essentially try to strain your entire body without moving any muscles. This was late at night when I went to bed, btw. All of the sudden I felt a few indiscribable feelings, and then my eyes started to shift from side to side uncontrollably. At that point I didn't quite know it, but right now I am convinced that it was actually my body going into REM state while I was concious. My eyes were closed, but my field of vision increased, and the view from behind my eyelids changed into this strange hazyness. I'm not sure how I can describe this without buying in to their bs but it did sort of feeling like I was floating away in some manner. At that point my heart started to race very very fast and I woke out of it. It was a bit strange because I felt a bit paralyzed, but I could still move. That was pretty much it for the event. Then I jumped on msn to tell my bro. I was going to make a blog about this, but this seems like a good place to put my story that happend last night. For anyone else interested in this phenomena please always keep a skeptical eye when reading material on it. As I said before people will give it mystical names and attribute it to spiritualism and religion, but believe me I am the opposite end of those spectrums, and what I experienced last night was very real. Study the techniques carefully but don't expect miracles to happen. | ||
