Lucid Dreaming usualy takes months of practise : >. If you expect results immedietly then this isn't for you. You're better of trying an O.O.B. experience.

errrr iirc lucid dreams are dreams that you wake up in and can walk around and realize that you are in a dream.. you can do whatever you send your mind to ie fly ect ect. i don't know if you could force yourself to first dream about your mother and then have a lucid dream in the same dream.

oh yeah, and there's some roots you'll want to eat.

only had like 2 dreams that I could control or knew that I was dreaming..kept telling everybody in my dream that I knew this only was a dream but they kept telling me I was a lunatic XD

If my friend could dream of a vampire crime syndicate and other *more sick* stuff, I guess it can be done...

And yeah I don't expect to practise one day and voila. I've even reached a shrink who's specialized in lucid dreaming

No offense, but that just seems like a dream. Lucid Dreaming is meant to make you whole, I doubt visiting a vampire syndicate is wholesome.

Well it happend. After around 2 months and a half I just had a dream which I was in complete control of, and let me tell you, it was the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
I was flying through the clouds and it felt like.. ghu i cant explain it, I had this vroooooooooooooooooooom feeling I really don't know how else to put it, it was the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen, it didnt start with me flying it was a normal dream that was completely unrelated and i asked myself 'is this a dream' and I thought of flying, next thing I know i was in the sky


That site I posed before helped but after a few e-mails with the lucid dreaming expert I got what really helped me:

I know what you mean but if you force them like that you will not have dreams very often because your mind is blocking them due to all the pressure you put on it.
Here are four steps that might be what you are looking for.

1. Throughout the day, while you are awake, ask yourself, "Is this a dream?" anytime something odd happens or even when nothing out of the ordinary happens. The trick is not to answer the question with an immediate "Of course I am not dreaming!". Come up with a consistent way to check if you are awake or asleep. For example checking the time on a clock and then quickly check it again. If you are dreaming, the time will always dramatically change at the second glance. Or if you are reading something, look away and then read it again.
Again if you dreaming, when you look at it the second time, whatever you are reading will be completely different. As you keep asking yourself this question during the day, the question will become second nature. You will ask the question during your dreams. And when you do your check to see if you are awake or asleep, you are well on your way to lucidity.

2. Identify your dream signals. These are objects or images in your dream that serve as cues or markers to let you know that you are dreaming. Anything can be a dream signal and is unique to each individual dreamer. It may help to read through your dream journal and select an images that seem to constantly appear in your dreams. By selecting a recurring image, then it has a better chance of appearing in your future dreams. Then when you are ready for bed, tell yourself that "When I see an apple, then I know I am dreaming." or whatever dream signal you have chosen.

3. Use your dream signs to let you know that you are dreaming. When an anomaly or something impossible occurs in your dream, instead of ignoring it or trying to rationalize it, let it be an indicator that you are dreaming. Some common dream signs include flying, walking through walls or the appearance of someone who is dead in real life.

4. Finally encourage your lucid dreams, but do not force them, as your efforts may have an opposite effect. It is important to relax.
As you improve your lucid dreaming, you can even learn to "write" your own dream scripts. Your sense of smell and touch will become heightened. Before going to bed tell yourself what you want to dream and what area you want to explore.

i can dream of 2 monkeys throwing poop at people from the empire state building =]?

I usually dream lucidly when my subconscious cant deal with the situation, in case of a nightmare, it feels nice and real then, but 99% of the time I just sit back and enjoy the show. Why would you want to control your dreams anyway? You think your conscious imagination can think up stuff more interesting than your subconscious can? :0

one thing I hate about lucid dreaming is that I can't eat anything dammit, people do get hungry you know.

[Draquish]

Well...I flew, made a 50ft wide pizza, cuddled with my gf...made a little love(I had to try to see if I could really feel it... xD ), sword fought with pirates on a pirate ship during a stormy day, and woke up energized and happy!


Woohoo for LDs. (I'm getting better at them )
