For all of those who don't know what lucid dreaming is...it's basically a dream that you are aware within, you know you are dreaming. This enables you to interact on a new level with your dreams...such to the point where you can control them and imagine anything...and it will happen.
For more information on lucid dreaming follow this link.

So basically I had a lucid dream last night, I just got back from a week's trip up the coast for what we call 'Schoolies' in Australia. Basically I was a tired as hell after being drunk every night...and basically not getting any sleep. I went to sleep thinking of nothing...except that I knew I was very tired and would be dreaming soon.
Then all this weird shit happened...I imagined people coming into my room and trying to wake me up...some girls...some of my friends...basically I felt them shaking me. Then everything went crazy. I was pretty much immersed in this dream...but I knew it was a dream instinctively...because I knew that I was asleep...
It was insane...I thought that I'd always wanted to be a 'fly on the wall' so I just did that. I turned myself into a fly...or at least something very small and capable of flying...and I listened to people's conversations...
Another thing I did was set myself up as some 'uber psychic' when I just told people stuff about their lives which of course was my 'imagined' things about their lives and thus it became true.
I also created some kind of mansion in space...with instant transportation to earth. I have a crush on a girl...and I made it with her into a relationship. But I was pissed off on the spot because I knew it was a dream. But overall the experience gave me a huge kick...until my brother woke me up at 11pm to get his guitar from my room.
The bastard.
Has anyone else had such experiences?

I've had lucid dreams before, and they were nothing special. I just basically knew I was asleep. But damn, whatever you drank all week, I want some. ^^
|
No, and I can only remember one dream I ever had, and even then it's just a faint image/impression. My brother says I talk a little in my sleep, but he's hardly a reliable source.

i hope death is like that, tho its sad that i wont find out soon
|
You can do funky shit with them. Like if you're planning on trying to have one make a list of what you would do once you enter one, such as flying, being invisible, conjuring up anything you want, teleporting etc.
I haven't had one before T_T
|
lol, i've had them too. they really are special when they happen. Despite what people may say, you can teach yourself to have them all the time. http://www.dreamviews.com is a really good site for learning about them and getting them all the time. there are several techniques

we already had a long discussion about that. try the search function

I remember having a lucid dream(or if I think it is) where I was walking across the street and the streets were covered with dogs and cats running around, attacking, and some even pissing on each other. I realized the sheer ridiculous nature of my surrounding and I concluded that it was all a dream. So for the hell of it, I jumped in the air, flew around, killed the animals below me, went all the way to hollywood through some 3 second fixation, had sex with Jessica Alba and woke up. But the next dream I had was fucking nightmare, I imagined being locked up in with some smelly Indian people with knives and they were thrusting each other in the most disturbing of ways while at the same time I saw an Iraq terrorist head blow up. Sometimes I wonder if I'm coming down to a mental illness.

We can accelerate that, if you want.

haha, and QuietIdiot that's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard 
|
yeah I had many, the funniest one was the one there was a lot of people everywhere and I could never find a bathroom to have sex in

I had a lucid dream once, there are ways to train your mind to be able to have lucid dreams. Basically I could control the space around me and was able to fly. It's a great feeling. I recommend it to everyone.

I've only had it happen a couple times, and not for like 2 years. But they're awesome as hell, because you can feel everything, and do anything you want.
Lately all my regular dreams have been pornographic in nature... I think I really need to get laid soon.
|
I know I'm in a dream all the time. Yet my powers always SUCK. I guess I don't think I can do something so even when I say "BLAST OFF" I don't fly up into space.

I have them regularly
although less lately cause I stopped my previous sleeping schedule, one that was really really suited for lucid dreaming. but I used to have more lucidity than not. 
|
I've only had major ones twice (when i was quite young), and a minor ones occasionally that I wake up from like 5 seconds later.
My two experiences: I was in chinese school, realized it was a dream (becuase it was in a castle on a large cliff wtf) and started destroying all the papers i saw, causing havoc for the teachers, flipping over desks etc. Other one was where I was in some futuristic movie theatre and then once I realized I was dreaming, i started destroying all the popcorn stands etc.
I think I said it before in the other thread, but it's funny that given absolute power, my first reaction/instinct is to destroy everything I see.
|
I remember saying to myself "im dreaming" while dreaming but never had full control over what i was doing
This sounds really interesting though and i want to try it sometime soon, sounds exciting from reading about it
|
I don't thik I've eber had that type of dream, althoug I would like to have one.
|
i think i've had 3. 2 for sure. The first one i decided i wanted to fly and therefore did so, that was pleasurable. The second time i remembered i had already flown, and figured the next best thing was sex with a girl i had a crush on at school. Cant decide which one was better. Pretty nifty experience though. I think the 3rd was just one of the original 2 again. Wish i would have another, it's been like 10 years.
Supposedly there are things you can do to create lucid dreams. Like buy an audio tape that makes a certain noise a few hours into your sleep. You start off with it loud enough to wake you up completely, so you get used to recognizing the sound, and keep turning the volume down as the weeks go on. The premise is it becomes second nature to hear it even in your sleep when it's not loud enough to wake you, and poof, lucid dream time. Im just not willing to disturb my sleep every night for a couple of months to try it.

I had one when I actually wrote down my dreams for a week for a project. I started noticing I was able to realize I was dreaming and crap like that.
