What is a lucid dream pigs? Is it a sticky moment? :wink:
steppman2Salvaged from archive16 Dec 2006, 20:40
Well, I became consciously aware that I was dreaming as I was doing it...I literally "snapped out" of my dream and into a sort of reality that I could completely control. This went on for about 10 minutes (from what I could tell) until I was finally freaked out enough to where I woke myself up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming

Yeah, been there about 2-3 times. Problem is... I can't remember what I did in most of them.. just that I consciously knew I was dreaming several times. (This sounds pretty messed up, but who's dreams aren't?). The only one I can remember, I realized I was in a dream and to test my theory, my gf and I broke into a military base and made out in a supply closet. Go figure.
steppman2Salvaged from archive16 Dec 2006, 20:52
Looking back on it I'd say it was pretty awesome...maybe I won't be so freaked out next time.

Hmm.. I posted about it here.. didn't know what it was called at the time though.. http://www.filecabi.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11731&p…

I have brilliant dreams. Seriously! I get out of bed to go to the bathroom half way through a dream and manage to keep the dream locked in my mind and go back to sleep with it still there. Most of my dreams are nice dreams. I never have nightmares or anything nasty. I must be content with life I think.

I am very contented person Jaba, happy and relaxed and rarely get pissed off .....but I have a lot of nightmares.....ever since I was a kid. :cry:

Shit I can even plan a dream it's easy. I get the odd one where I'm forced to decide on something serious but they just wake me up. I'd hate to have nightmares - my last partner used to have them all the time and wake up shaking. She used to cry sometimes even if she was aware of it just being a dream. Wierd!

When I was a kid I had a dream where my reflexion in the mirror came out and started chasing after me... Oh, and that was back when I was really young... as in before I'd seen anything like that in any horror movie. I'm surprised I'm only mildly messed in the head!

Yup I have had a couple. It is honestly quite freaky. I 'woke' up shortly after falling asleep. Can't move or talk or anything, just stuck in my bed like something is holding me there. I tried to call out for help but cant. Then I started shaking violently. The bed also was shaking (exorcist style). When I woke up I had my eyes wide open for the next 2 hours. Not an experience I would like to go through again. It doesnt happen to me anymore as I somehow now know when it is going to happen and just wake myself up immediately. Btw I think it is also called Sleep Paralysis. Critics of people who claim they have been abducted by aliens believe this is just a person experiencing Sleep Paralysis.

ya i've had quite a few. you should watch the movie "Waking Life" its animated kinda like a scanner darkly and is all about lucid dreaming. and the most strange dream i had was when i was 16. basically the dream is as follows: i wake up, i roll out of bed and walk to the closet. i open it and pull the little string that turns on the light. i reach for some clothes to wear for the day and suddenly i freeze, i cannot move at all. i begin to panic because obviously something is wrong. then...i wake up. i roll out of bed and walk to the closet. i open it and reach for the little string that turns the light on. right when i start to pull it i freeze again. i panic once more and then...i wake up. this happens about 8 more times or so. each time i froze a little sooner until it got to the point that i would wake up and roll over on my left side and then freeze. after that i woke up one last time. i sat there not wanting to move because i didn't figure there was a point. i lay there for about 3 mins before realizing i was actually awake this time.

Yeah alot of my dreams come true... I just have a variety of different dreams.
blaikeSalvaged from archive17 Dec 2006, 21:16
trippy. I tried to do that Lucid Dreaming thing, but it doesnt work. The problem with it is because I dream in the 3rd person. When I dream, it's like I'm watching a movie, like I'm a ghost or something.
steppman2Salvaged from archive17 Dec 2006, 23:17
Lucid dreaming and that paralysis are different, read that wiki article, it's neat. And I realized it was a dream about 45 minutes before I woke up, it's not "lucid" if you don't know you're dreaming. :P If you wake up when you realize it's a dream then you need more practice, the more I read about it the easier it seems if you really want to.
NaysayerSalvaged from archive18 Dec 2006, 00:14
ya i know that that dream wasn't lucid, it was just an example of my weirdest one. but when i do lucid dream i try to fly. im getting better at it. i used to only be able to just float off the ground. basically i could lift my legs up and just float around a few feet off the ground. i've gotten up maybe 50 ft or so at best now. and it is hard to stay asleep. Now on a side note, a few years ago i was prescribed Effexor XR. i have since gone off of it because it was kinda weird. normally i will only have about one noteworthy dream a week or so. when i was taking those i had at least one a night, many times more. they were very detailed and rather interesting. sometimes i didn't want to get up.

You are correct :) I misunderstood what its meaning based on some of the replies. Sleep paralysis and Lucid dreaming are more like opposites I guess. And I also have had experience with lucid dreaming too. Some were when something bad is going to happen in my dream. I simply think about being somewhere else and woho, there I am! Such a good feeling by the way. You cna fly, breathe under water, do whatever you want with no worries of the real world. Very unfortunate that is doesnt happen too often though.
