Recently I have been looking into / at a thing called lucid dreaming. This is where you sleep but are awake. I have been trying to do it where you keep your mind occupied and sort of 'wake up' in your dream. I was in the middle of 'crossing over' when I felt a strong rush and woke up. I will keep trying until I get it. So that leads me to ask do you think it is possible or complete rubbish?

Want more info look up lucid dreaming on Wikipedia. I want to believe it is real but what do you think.

I think I've had a lucid dream from your description I was awake and I felt things and everything even smell things but it was a dream. Is that what you mean?

If you mean is it possibly to have conscious control over the thoughts that occur in the simulation that is dreaming, then i believe that it is possible for I have long been able to under certain circumstances. I think that lucid dreaming does have validity for it relies on the same brainwaves that makes dreaming even possible. 

Lucid dreaming is a very real thing, and is quite fun once you get the hang of it. The trick is to set something very light that will wake you up partially so that you are aware that you're in a dream but won't completely wake up from it. Something like a soft song as an alarm will help you with that. Once you train yourself to recognize the song and do a reality check, then you'll start to recognize the fact that you're dreaming.

Lucid dreaming is definatley real but you dont wake uyourself up before going to sleep, you know when your in a dream and you know it ?

yes? well from there you can start manipulating your dreams and its very vivid the longer youve been asleep for, you can experience the same kind of stuff on certain drugs but their hallucinations and uncontrollable

i do that many times might not get a licence because of it

cooleo :
As in a driving license?

SLouC : Yes as in drivers licence but i hope i can get one

cooleo :
Ja, hopefully. It'd suck to have lost out like that

SLouC : Could you please post something related to my post. I mean I am glad you are posting at all but still what you just did was spam...

I know of Lucid dreaming but I can't seem to do it lol.
If anyone has tips I would like to hear them.

vizwiz123 : Well here is a noobs mini tip guide written by me. First of all it does not work best if you are going to bed rather it is better for naps. Then you should also keep your mind busy as not to fall asleep.

billythekidmonster :
My apologies, I didn't think that would be considered spam, I'll just pm next time.
Actually, I came on intending to answer :'D
I believe I've experienced lucid dreaming before, I've been aware that a dream is a dream.
Recently though, I've hardly been dreaming at all -that I know of.
Only when I've drifted back to sleep after waking up do I remember anything.

i have had alot of lucid dreams. i have near complete control over what goes on if i can remember that i'm in a dream. i can also wake up, close my eyes, and start dreaming again. 

Is this when you fall asleep then wake up in a dream like you would if you went to the bathroom

Austin96 : I am sorry but I just do not understand what you are asking...

Lucid dreaming is the art of being in control of your dreams. And I have the ability to do so.

Granted, it takes practice. For starters, you have to know that while dreaming you are knowing that you are dreaming. To do this, the best way that I have done this is by having a bright light shine on and off while dreaming. Say if you have a computer monitor and while it's in sleep mode the little light shines on and off during the night. Keep that on.

Have something like that flashing on and off while your eyes are shut. And get used to it, because it's the only way you will know that you are not dreaming; while dreaming. To say the least.

The next step is to focus on that light. Your eyelids are closed and you somehow still see the light peering through your eyelids. For the first few months you need to focus on that while sleeping.

Now, with all those months spent training focusing on that light you see with your eyes closed; that's all on your own.

Eventually you will know while dreaming that you have the ability to control your dreams. That is the correct definition to Lucid Dreaming.

The reason why you have that light shining is because when you dream you somehow see that light in your dreams. Therefore, you know for a fact that you are dreaming while seeing this light! And once you are dreaming and you see this light, you will know that "Hey, I am in control here. I want a hot babe next to me"! Or "Oh no it's a bad dream. Let me get this bad ass gun and nuke the person making this dream a nightmare".

It took me about four months to master Lucid Dreaming. But I can do it no problem.

But who am I kidding no one is going to quote this. You guys are idiotic and will come up with posts saying "Lol cool"

Try it for yourself. Lucid dreaming takes practice. And there is even a book about it. PROVEN.

Lucid Dreams (1986) By Celia Green. Best book you could pick up on the subject

Bitmap : Thank God someone gave me some tips because I am failing so hard and for me it is hard as hell. I have tryed just damn near everything and it just will not work. If you have any other tips please share them with me. I am determined to do this.

Since you asked for it... blah bleh lol.

billythekidmonster : Well just know that it's not something you can pick up overnight. It's something you have to practice once you realise you are in control of your own dreams.

Everyone has their own little tips and tricks in controlling your dreams. For me I like to "Spin" my field of vision from going from a bad dream to a good one. it's weird, and only I know how it's like. For others, a common method to change a situation is trying to shout mid dream (People talking in their sleep) to command the dream to change.

Next time you go to a book store. Look up a book about Lucid Dreaming. Best thing you can do is research, practice when you go to bed, and then once you are in the dream (And you realize you are) Practice methods in changing the dream in your own special way.

That's honestly all I can tell you!
