I started trying to have lucid dreams since only 2 week, my brother started one year before but I was laughing at him(becasue I didn't knew that you could change stuff in your dreams). So there weren't electricity, I was bored so I said "let's read a book", and I decided to read one on lucid dreams, and it happened to look "fun", so now I'm writing every dreams etc, yet I didn't have any lucid dreams. Though, I "beat" a nightmare somewhat, I really felt relived when I woke up. | ||

Trust me, you dont want to wake up in the middle of the night being trapped in your own body and hallucinating people coming in and attack you. Dreams are hallucination. You become paralyzed every time you sleep. Sleep paralysis is scary, but it ain't that different than regular sleep. Biologically, there isn't an actual problem here. Don't say it like you can start hallucinating all the time. It's basically just a dream that occurs when you're awake, and still under the effects of REM sleep. | ||

It fucked him up really bad. Im just warning people that its something to watch out for. edit: where did i claim that you control your own hallucinations? the reason i wrote this is because you don't. | ||

Oh yeah, I was having so much fun shooting electricity from my fingers and creating some sort of fantasy world full of butterflies, trees and flowers. Till I realise it was all a dream and I woke up from falling off my bed. | ||

I remember in one of them, I took a piss with the batman but then I realized that I was going to wet the bed if I did, so I just left the restroom and woke up. Before I could control my dreams I would always wet the bed >.> | ||

All lucid dreaming implies is that you are conscious of that you are in a dream and not in reality. I'm reasonably sure if you attain a truly lucid state, you could just fall asleep if you wanted to. Whether or not you enter a further dream state, which is the premise of Inception, I can't say. This evening, if I attain lucidity (I always attempt lucid dreaming on Friday/Saturday nights), hopefully I will remember to try this. | ||

Actually Lucid Dreaming is controlling the dream as it happens, not watching it move along disinterestedly. I usually dream like that, unfortunately. I have had *maybe* one or two lucid dreaming experiences, though they were short and I don't remember what happened in them. I'm pretty young still though, so I'll probably have more....... I hope. | ||

I let dreams play automatically because it amuses me sometimes, but if it turns into a nightmare I either force myself to wake up or try and change the course of the dream. | ||

You are still, in starcraft terms, a bronze-gold if you can't become lucid every night (exceptions are ofc allowed if something weird happened that day). But if you for 2 straight weeks have normal days and you become lucid every night, then you have actually become a lucid dreamer (if you are not able to do this you either 1. didn't lucid dream or 2. are a complete beginner), from there you really start experiancing and learning how to lucid dream which mainly exist of two components: 1. Making something happen the way you want and 2. staying in control and asleep while making something happen. The biggest issue most people face in the lesser skilled phases of lucid dreaming is point 2 usually; Actually staying asleep and in control when trying to make things happen.

First of, as mentioned, it isn't lucid dreaming if you are not in control (again I might mix words in translation here). 2ndly sleep paralysis is something everyone have every night, just that people normally don't wake up while in that state. And I wonder why you use the term hallucinations instead of dreams. If you actually mean hallucinations and not dreams then that has nothing to do with lucid dreams and it might very well not have been sleep paralysis he experianced as well. If you experiance sleep paralysis, you are awake, thus not dreaming which means you are just laying in the bed in your room unable to move your body (assuming you slept in your bed.. and you haven't been sleep walking, and no-one moved you.. for those that want to argue silly things) EDIT: Someone who are exceptionally good at lucid dreaming will have the dream look identical to our own world, literally look so real you can't tell them apart with your eyes (luckily plenty other methods). And in this world will be able to make whatever fantasy he got real. If that is fucking a hollywood star, flying superman style, revisit that tropical place you once had a vacation at and the list goes on as far as your imagination. He will experiance that just as real as if he actually did it in reality. | ||

Most of the time for me it's like a moment of clarity that I realize that I'm asleep and then just enjoy the rest my dream | ||

Lots of things to change. You can make it a 5 way. OR EVEN A 6 WAY | ||
