Lately, I've been feeling myself getting closer and closer to conciousness during sleep, and just two nights ago, I manged to have a lucid dream!!!

EDIT: Sry, hl2.net borks the paragraphs and tabs.

Will save as an RTF and attach :)

My first dream was just my normal life, waking up in my bed, going to school, etc etc. It felt so real that I passed it off AS real, and just dismissed any notion that it might be fake, and just went about my daily business. But, as soon as I lay down in my bed (in my dream), I opened my eyes (in real life), thinking that the entire dream had been real anyway, looked at my clock to see what time I was going to bed at (I need to catch up on my sleep), and realized that it was 4:30 in the morning. I was startled, no way in HELL had I slept that late! I think I might have even slept early in my dream, instead of chilling out on my computer for an hour or two before sleeping.
That's when I realized that I was dreaming. I was so amazed, the dream was so clear, and I knew that I was AMAZINGLY close to pure lucidity, so I set it in my head that tonight, I WILL have a complete lucid dream.
In my next dream, I was in a small computer room. On one wall was the doorway into and out of the room (there might have been a bed there too, i'm not positive), on the other wall was a bookshelf, on the next wall was a computer on a desk (very much like mine) and a sliding glass door to the yard (I do not know who's house it was), and the last wall had nothing but wall.
Me and my friends were all sleeping in sleeping bags, in the room. They all went outside without me, (except for this kid Cory) and I was stuck inside of the room, getting out of the sleeping bag. Before I opened the sliding glass door to go and meet them outside, I habitually looked at the palm of my hand (it's my dream indicator, see how many fingers I have), and noticed that my hand had 6, twitching fingers that kept fading out of existence, like something from the matrix. Suddenly, I felt a massive rush throughout my body, as if I was in a train going from 0 to a million in the blink of the eye. I tried to talk to Cory, to ask him if this really WAS a lucid dream, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't talk.
But then I saw my friends come back with a group of girls and I sort of forgot about my lucidity. It was too dark outside to see any of the girls faces, but then I thought of this girl, Ariana, and said ?is that Ariana?? (I could suddenly talk again for some odd reason, maybe because I had lost lucidity), and suddenly, I saw one of the girls faces, and it WAS Ariana.
The dream then shifted, and next thing I know, I'm in the hallway of the house with my friend Chad. I'm walking backwards toward the living room, in front of him (he's walking forwards). As soon as this dream came up, I looked at my hand, had another rush, and achieved lucidity yet AGAIN. The only trouble was that the entire house was pitch black, save for a few circles of light around me and Chad, and I could not speak. Every time I tried to say something, it came out as a faint squeak. This was horrifically frightening, you could almost say this was a BAD lucid dream, considering I did not yet possess the power to change my surroundings.
So, to test the lucidity of the dream, and to try to gain control over it, I imagined an AK47 appearing in my hand, and made the ?holding and shooting an AK47? motion with my hands while I faced it at Chad (I don't know why, I do know that I wasn't trying to kill him though), recoil and all, while I tried to mimic the sound of shooting an AK47 with my mouth. I thought that by doing this, and thinking hard about the gun, it'd appear in my hands.
It wasn't working, and I STILL couldn't talk. I was still scared shit less, and didn't know what to do, when suddenly, I sort of woke up in the real world, looked at my clock, and noticed that it was around 5 o clock in the morning. I thought to myself ?ok, I still have enough time to have ONE more lucid dream, I'm going to do it!?
So, I fell back into my bed. In my next dream, I was in the back of Mr. Lai Hipp's class (geometry), chatting it up with my friends. They were all sitting in a circle of chairs, just talking story, while I leaned against the wall, talking with them.
This time, I remember that I had to achieve lucidity, so I looked at my hand (not out of habit, but out of conscious will), got that rushing feeling again, and looked around the class. Everything looked so clear, like it was real. The sky was a crisp blue, the air was cold, the grass was a bright, emotive green, and for some reason not only was our school now ocean side (the door leading outside of the classroom was facing the ocean), but there were deciduous trees outside, with their leaves all gone as if it were fall.
Cory was there, sitting in an old looking, peach colored chair. I put my hand on his head and said ?CORY? Is that you, or is it dream Cory??.
He laughed and made a sort of a ?no? expression on his face, and shook his head.
?C'MON CORY, I'M SERIOUS, I NEED TO KNOW!? I needed to know bad, as I wanted to try flying, but didn't want to jump off of a building and die if it turned out that this wasn't a dream.
Cory didn't answer me, so jumped onto the desks and ran to Mr. Lai Hipp's desk to ask him. He was lying on the floor unconscious, but, for some reason, this didn't strike me as odd.
I walked just outside of the doorway. Instead of there being a large balcony that lead to the stairs, as his class is in real life, there was just a set of stairs right outside of the doorway. So I stood on this little buffer connected to the stairs, and jumped to see if I would float (another reality test I had remembered). I felt lighter, but I did not float.
So, I bounded back to Cory, put my hand on his head again, and said ?CORY, TELL ME NOW, IS THIS REAL CORY OR DREAM CORY??
He just shook his head and said ?If this were dream Cory, then could I do THIS??
Suddenly there were two Cory's, both sitting in the same peach colored chairs, shaking their heads at me with their hands by their shoulders, as if to say ?I don't know?.
So, out of desperation (to know if this was real), I ran over to this white, skinny, not that bad looking girl in the room (I have never seen this girl before, I don't know why she was in the dream). She had blond-ish hair, and was wearing a tight purple top that had a small V cut over her breasts. Her breasts were not large, A or B cup maybe, and she was not wearing a bra. I BELIEVE she was wearing jeans, but I don't remember. She was much taller than me, and looked like a junior or a senior.
So, I stood in front of this girl, put my hand down the right side of the V cut in her top (my left, her right), felt her right breast with the palm of my hand,then pulled the V of the blouse to the left (my left) to expose her breast, and rubbed my face in it.
She just stood there, staring at me fairly emotionless. That's when I became 100% positive that this was a dream, and that it would be safe to try to fly.
I ran out of the class (this happened quick, but i'm pretty sure that the balcony that's there in real life was there in the dream this time), jumped into the air with my first staring at the sky, and yelled out ?I'M GONNA **** KRISTAL!? as loud as I could (Krystal/Kristal (sp?) is a really really really hot, and really really really slutty chick). This whole ?**** Kristal? business came last minute. I thought ?wow, this dream might not last that long, I better see what getting lucid laid is FAST before it fades away?.
But instead of seeking out Kristal and the immense sexual benefits she'd bring, I bounded into the air, flapped my arms wildly, and began to fly, as a song with a very upbeat and drawn out violin line started playing. I think it might have been a Coldplay song, but I haven't heard it on the radio in so long that I've forgotten the name of the song. .
I flew in circles and loops, shooting between the branches in the leaf less trees forementioned. I can safely say that this was the happiest moment of my life.
When I flew over the water (school is waterfront in the dream), the water looked so clear, as if this were a cartoon or something. I could see all the creatures and reef shelves the ocean offered. The water was so blue and clear. In the distance (while over the water), I could see a perfectly green mountain ridge overlooking a clear beach, I think it might have been Tantalus.
I don't remember how long I flew for, but I remembered that the act of flying didn't feel concrete. It didn't come second nature, and every so often I'd have to think about gaining altitude and start flapping my arms, lest I fell to the ground.
Eventually I flew back over the water and started heading for the mountain ridge forementioned.
After a few minutes of flying toward the ridge, I noticed that I was losing altitude at a fairly quick pace. I tried flapping my wings and thinking about rising, but it wasn't working, and I fell to the water below. Once in the water, everything was amazingly clear. I could see for miles and miles underwater, and the water felt crisp and welcoming. It had a slight sparkle to it.
So I went back to the surface and started trying to fly back in the air, while the waves gently rolled under me (imagine that scene from finding Nemo, where Marlin is on the surface of the water trying to find Nemo). I kicked as hard as I could with my legs (to get higher above the surface of the water), and flapped my arms wildly to try to get airborne again, but it didn't work.
Now, seeing as this was my first lucid dream, I did not realize that I could actively change my scenery, and figured that my only way to reach either the beach or my school was to swim. The school wasn't that far, but there was a lava rock wall overlooking the waterfront (exactly like the wall around the marina, the one that goes all the way to the marina floor) that I knew would be sharp and hard to climb up, and I knew that I would probably cut myself trying to get back to the school (again, I was new to lucid dreaming I guess, so I forgot that I couldn't hurt myself. In any case though, I was too lazy to put the effort into climbing up the wall).
So, I thought ?damn, if I want to get to shore, I have to swim ALL the way to the mountains?. I, being the lazy person that I was, actively woke myself up instead of swimming back to shore.
And that's the end of the dream...

Didn't have another last night though :(

I'm thinking of trying the NILD technique tonight. Thoughts?

I'm still working on my recall. I envy you. Good luck nailing Krystal btw.
 
It's really tough to have sex in your dreams. Whenever you get excited the extra blood flow and hormones wake you up.
 
So, I stood in front of this girl, put my hand down the right side of the V cut in her top (my left, her right), felt her right breast with the palm of my hand,then pulled the V of the blouse to the left (my left) to expose her breast, and rubbed my face in it. She just stood there, staring at me fairly emotionless. That's when I became 100% positive that this was a dream, and that it would be safe to try to fly.

I'M GONNA **** KRISTAL!

Made me lol :LOL:
 
Hmm, i think ive had a lucid dream before, with dinosours and i was trying to make a rocket launcher appear....but it didn't work.

I'll give the NILD technique a try tonight
 
I want another lucid dream, that lasts slightly longer than my other did (which was about 30 seconds). I think your hand technique is a good idea. Better than my watch idea.
 
The watch reality check is seamless. You just have to get it into your NON-dreaming life. Whenever you see something out of the ordinary then take a look at your watch, and check it again. If the time is not the same... well then. Another sign that you are dreaming is when you find things hard to read, again, you check your watch.

I've had quite a few lucid dreams, and the thing I love most about them is the feeling you get when you realise that you are dreaming... it feels like your brain is switching on, your head tingles really pleasently. Yeah...

And sex in dreams isn't that hard. You can will yourself that it is going to happen before you go to sleep, then you don't even need to achieve lucidity for it to happen... it just does.
 
Holy shit Sinkoman, I'm really happy for you, that sounds awesome. /envy :(
 
I've had it once. I was dreaming about visiting my grandma. When I was talking to her I suddenly realized and asked "wait, aren't you dead?". She answered "yes" and I was like sweeeeet I'm in a dream! I asked if I could punch the mirror and she said yes. I punched it and ran outside... I woke up.

LMFAO, that made me laugh for a couple of seconds :cheers:
 
Is it true the stuff they say in Waking Life?
you can't read digital readouts or text when you are dreaming
you can't change the light level (ie light switches don't work)

Because the part of your brain that reads stuff is turned off. It's like being dyslexic. And I dunno why you can't turn lights on or off.
 
Wow, I never heard of Lucid dreaming before, sounds crazy. Anyone got a link I can read more about this from?
 
:( I can't remember the last time I even had a normal dream. Any suggestions?
 
I've always had some control over my dreams. Its not so much controller my dreams, but how much I dream.

You so fail.

I had the same dream and I just thought to myself "Wait, why the hell am I running from these dinosaurs?"
So I gave myself a rocket launcher and kicked ass. Watching a T-Rex explode into gibs was amazing.

just lay in bed, face-up, close your eyes, breath in and out through your mouth.

lay in bed just doing that a couple minutes and feel that your whole body relaxes. think about nothing, and after 5-10 minutes go to sleep in whatever position you usually go sleep.
 
/envy

I've never heard of these Lucid dreams you speak of. I know I sure as hell don't have any sort of conciousness in mine. They're also usually just a bunch of silly jargon. I can't say if they seem real or not, because I can't think or interact in them at all. I mean, I'm usually, myself, IN the dreams, but, you know. :/ I'll look at that link.

Edit: Oh, that's just the story again... where can I see the NILD thing?
 
Personally, I don't want em. I'd much rather have whatever I'm chasing to be real.

But what makes it real? Your world is precieved through your brain releasing chemicals... so... whats the difference between LD's and Real life?
Laws of physics/life are the difference. You cant die in dreams and there is no physical boundries...
 
Congrats man!

Lucid dreaming is a very, very interesting thing. Turns out I am naturally good at it. I have always had excellent dream recall - the nights when I can't remember my dreams are rare, and I often remember them in great detail. Lots of good dialogue in them usually for me. When I was around 5, I would often lucid dream, though I didn't know about the term back then, nor did I think it's anything unusual. In these dreams, I'd sometimes choose to change the surroundings or participants.

Later, I lost the ability and only had the very occasional lucid dream. It wasn't until I stumbled onto a lucid dreaming website that I learned about the phenomenon itself. Since then, I've been practicing some and do now get lucid dreams periodically. Great stuff.

Do I really need to debate this?
 
Sadly, I stopped dreaming with any real regularity some time ago :(

I used to have Night Terrors D:
But having those helped me with Lucid Dreaming to a point.
 
No Uriel, describe it in your own words. I don't care what Wikipedia has to say.

In regards to lucid dreams, yeah, I have acknowledged in my dreams that they are just that, dreams, and sometimes that it is time to wake up and get them over with. Or maybe I just dreamed that I did. I don't care. What I know is that I make a conscious effort to .... hot chicks who appear in my dreams though :naughty:
 
Just what wiki mentioned. Night Terrors sometimes isn't an actual dream, but sometimes absolute terror and nothing but emotion. Kinda made a regular nightmare easy to overcome and take control, because there was an actual situation.
 
:| I'd hate to have that.

Lately my dreams are pretty realistic. I mean the most unrealistic one I had yesterday involved me lugging around a piece of Styrofoam. Why? Because I wanted to. That was weird.
 
When I was like 8 I had dreams where I could walk about and do what I wanted in the town I live in but every time I try to reach a certain place, say a friends house, I just woke up.

I would like to lucid dream, I can't be bothered to read the whole site, anyone got bullet point steps in doing it?

I bet you still have nightmares about matchstick man sneaking into your house and giving you cancer from secondary smoke.

At least, you will now :p
 
Everytime I realise I'm having a dream, when I'm inside a dream, I get so excited about all the stuff I wanna try, 97% of the time I just wake up from excitment :(

And the 3% of the time where I don't wake up (like 1 time per year), I usually realise I'm in the dream and once I think of something to try I wake up... god damnit.

I really wanted to lucid dream a few months ago and I read alot about it, but most of the stuff I forget, but the most important thing I actually did remember:
You have to ask yourself if you are dreaming (reality check) about 40 times a day, once you get into the habit of doing the reality checks, you'll one day be in a dream, then do this reality check because of the habit you made, then realise your in a dream.
