I've had a few lucid dreams over the years, so I know it exists.

You know those things in our society that are completely unacceptable ?
In the latest lucid dream I took advantage of it and tried doing some things to people because I know I would never do it in real life (At least I don't see myself doing it).
I'll just say it was a good experience, because everything feels 100% real, although what I did there, I'll keep it to myself.

Also, I read there that rubbing hands and spinning your body can make it last longer ? I hope I remember to do that next time I have a lucid dream.
Like I said before.we are going to own these guys,no problem.I could beat their entire team 1 on 8 with no monitor. -Tasteless translating

i have a lot of these dreams. some times i forced to myself to wake up when them became in nightmares. but i dislike when things dont act like i want. i remember that i have weapons like guns, automatics, etc and the next second they became toys and i couldnt make them work again, or i can fly and next i cant T_T

I wasn't aware you could "try to have one" as people seem to be claiming.

Apparantly there are lots of techniques for having lucid dreams.

The closest thing I ever got was realising, while dreaming, that "hey, this doesn't make sense! This isn't real!" but never followed that train of thought any further and realising it was a dream. It was a good dream so I kinda went like "so, this isn't real. Let's just enjoy it while it lasts then and not ask too many questions in the meantime."

Okay, i didnt read the whole thread but concerning the "trying to have a lucid dream" thing, there are a few things you can do over the day that will help you turn a normal dream into a lucid dream.

Here are two of the excercises you can do over the day: Look at your hands and count your fingers; Make absolutely sure you have 5 on each hand (unless you lost some or whatever) then when you go to sleep you may continue this behaviour. When you see you dont have the correct amount of fingers you usually get aware of you being in a dream.

The second excercise is monitoring your watch closely. Do it as often as possible over the day so once you get to sleep you once again continue with this behaviour. When you look at a watch in a dream, look away and at the watch again. If it is a dream the clock (if it is analog) might not have the correct amount of arms(?) or will display a totally different time than before. This once again might trigger getting your dream into a lucid state.

As for my own experiences: Pretty much the usual. Be the places i want (what i imagine them to look like), fly around, matrix style highway chases against the flow of traffic, making out with hot chicks, bla bla bla. A friend of mine asked if i could make the universe explode with me watching, but that was quite a while ago and im not sure if i can make it happen, im usually too excited that im in a lucid dream to remember this scenario ;P

anyways lucid dreams are awesome, its like "hacking the matrix" to change the world to whatever you want, but not only that, you can also make things happen with other people in your dreams: e.g. making out with the chick you have a crush on etc.

The movie "Waking Life" by Richard Linklater is all about this. You may remember him from such films as "A scanner darkly."

Waking Life is a really great movie. It's from 2001 I think.

You can lucid dream without even knowing it. Since you have multiple dreams a night, but don't recall dreams everyday. The most important thing to practice is dream recall. Probably the hardest part. Google it. Then you can start practicing lucid dream. Lot of stuff. In this field hasn't been researched in detail so fine out as much as you can and figure out what works for you.

I used to lucid dream consistently for over a year or so until I slipped up and couldn't maintain the consistent lifestyle. (Late night partying and crammin for exams can really screw things around)

When you first succeed intentionally. Its probably gonna be mixed bag of results. I personally had problem not being able to stand up for longtime. Its probably cause when you become lucid, your mind is being tied to baggages of 'reality' (in reality I'm lying down sleeping) as a result you probably won't be able to do everything at will. You flying might feel. More like low gravity and trying to conjure up something might not work at all. But just. Roll with it and eventually you'll get it down with enough experience.

Also, speaking frankly, most ppl will probably spend time having crazy fantasy sex during their first lucid experience. But its a waste of time compared to the shit you can't even do in reality... like flying freely... no less even comprehend what you've done while dreaming, as you get better you'll probably spend more time on things like that.

A flatmate of mine in Uni had a younger brother who was about 12 years old and all he wanted to do was sleep and didn't bother or care to have interaction with anyone.

When he was like 9 years old, he was able to control his dreams quite regularly and by the time he was about 12 he just wanted to have a chance to go to sleep.

So they took him to a psychiatrist for therapy, I have no idea how it turned out, but I reckon if you could lucid dream whenever you wanted, sleep would be great.

The longest and first lucid dream I had was I think for 20 mins or so, and of course, you fly (why it is always flying) and after that every time I realized that this was a lucid dream, I'd wake up very shortly afterwards, maybe 1 min afterwards. I think when I was like 28 or so, I had these lucid dreams, then no more for the last 8 years.
But the best lucid dream I ever had was that I was a master conductor of an invisible orchestra and I could say violins, or trumpets and they would all just join into the master melody. Now, I'm not a musical guy at all, but it was the most amazing experience to hear each instrument in such clarity and direct the over all music. Only happened once, but I guess I'll remember that forever because I guess it would have been how someone like Beethoven could mentally hear all the time.

You can't sleep too much, not only will you not lucid dream when you overnap, you'll ruin the rigorous schedule that's required to continue lucid dreaming.

But maybe that wasn't the case for him. It'd be unusal though.

Figured this was to do with Inception (i.e. motherfucking awesome movie.)

PS, Lucid Dreaming is still awesome 5 years down the line my friends.

PPS. Hi, I'm Smurg, I'm new here...sup?

Also, sex dreams whilst lucid often become a really weak point of maintaining lucidity, because the anticipation of the act seems to make it much harder to keep the LD stable.

But once you become good at maintaining lucidity....fuck away friends...fuck away.

I actually had a moment where I realized I was thinking of an idea from the real world while in a dream while my projections were trying to figure something out, but didn't really notice I was in a dream till after I woke up. Kinda semi lucid moment. Trying to remember my dreams every night, can usually remember every other day or so

I'm stuck in limbo atm. HELP.

Watching Inception was just confirmation of the awesomeness of LD'ing.

Key is recall; and the expanding to start to notice patterns/signs...then attaining lucidity then maintaining it.

Hardest part for me was maintaining lucidity, eventually your mind gets used to the concept that it's been tricked for hours by your subconscious.
