I'm pretty sure there was a thread about lucid dreaming here but I can't find it..So let's start another one! Anyone trying to get lucid in a dream?I'm not very fond of the method in the picture, but I heard some people got to do it by using it..Also this method :http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/videos/lucid-dreaming-subliminal-video.htmlI've been trying that video for some time now, and somehow I managed to remember a lot more of my dreams (like they were hours long), but still had no luck being lucid in them.

Thank you, this is really helpful~
I'm gonna try that link for a while, hope it works.
It does kind of work, but it takes over 40 minutes for me. I mean, I never got any actual dreams, but it kinda felt like I'm high. Usually my skin starts itching/hurting, I get the feeling something is lifting me up and squeezing me through a tunnel and very often I can't feel my hands and arms. The only problem is, there is always something that completely wakes me up again, so I just decide to fall asleep normally. I guess the method works if you do it right and have a lot of luck, though
also tried this a few times, never succeeded.once i felt like on an amusement park ride...

The 'sleep on back' thing never worked for me. My body gets horribly ichy, to the point it moves by itself and makes me 'wake' from the pre-paralisys or something. I got to feel that weight on my chest once, but nothing else happened. The only time I realized I got close to lucid (note that I was sleeping on my side the night it happened), as soon as I realized I was dreaming and moved myself, the dream 'took over', everything started to spin around me and I woke up.I'll try that link tonight, though. I've been having a lot of trouble remembering my dreams lately, so even if I don't get lucid, it might help.

I can always know when I am dreaming in my dreams. However, I have no control over it, and I don't even /want/ control over my dreams when I am dreaming.Is this odd?

>>790isnt usually the opposite the case?ive already failed three times, wishing i had not.

>>791Well, my dreams are odd in general. They usually follow a perfectly straight storyline the whole way through, the only odd things go completely unquestioned and are played up as perfectly normal. Like when a kidnapper kidnapped me but turned out to be a nice-but-awkward guy who later showed me his sleeping chambers that were at the same time his working space. I'd understand everything I was seeing would be a dream, but I really have no desire to wake up, though I know wholly well I'm dreaming. I even wonder to myself if I should start controlling my dreams. I go 'naaaaaah' and go through my dreaming with curiosity. Then again, I don't exactly have normal dreams. I've never had a dream where I've been in my underwear, or I've been flying, or strange and nonsensical things. Then again, I have some problems mentally. Maybe it affects my dreams?

>>788Yeah, the itching is not the problem, but sometimes my leg or arm twitches quite violently wich instantley wakes me up. I never felt a weight on my chest, but I did feel some kind of... burning on it and then it felt like something is ripping the skin off... I even managed to see some strange things by doing that, but never got a real lucid dream.>>795Well, if you actually can control something in your dream, I would try it. My dreams are quite often very realistic, but sometimes they are extremely strange yet even then I can't "remember" that I could try and control something. Even when I'm aware that I'm dreaming, wich happens quite rarely. Also, when I'm having that kind of dream, it usually ends really quick because something unpleasant happens and I wake up.

>>796When I control my dreams they are boring since I usually don't think of things other than, say, 'I want to see if I can fly', or 'put me in Insanity'. My imagination is very limited compared to my dreams.
>>814Play with your dream world. Make solid surfaces ripple like water. Create a face on a mountain and have a chat with it. Turn into pudding and then try to move around.For all the inspiration you could ever need, read Trip Logs from drug sites and then recreate the effects in your dreams, no drugs necessary.
>>814use your imagination! thats like the only limitation in dreamsi wish i had easily lucid dreams, never had one so far (except like three prelucid dreams)

I once went through a kind of phase of a few days where I would lucid dream more often, most likely because I thought about it more at that time.
>>820It's never as amazing as what my dream thinks up for me though. I already know what's going to happen before it happens when I lucid dream, so it all becomes boring.
