no.

But I think it depends on who you are...

sage for not vidya
sage for already been posted before

I wouldn't recommend doing it this way, sleep paralysis is no fun

i did that and i was flat on my back with my eyes wide open and i couldn't move. and then i started hallucinating. i saw It the clown(from stephen king's "it") and pissed my pants in fear. if i hadn't of pissed my pants and woke myself up i probably would have had a panic attack, a heart attack or a stroke.

I've had ones every now and then.

Just, don't look in mirrors................ever

i had lucid dreaming a bit when i was under age 10, its gone now :(

Thought this was my /x/ tab for a second there.

Anyway yeah it does work. However being aware while your body is asleep is not always a good thing.

Crazy shit happens, and when you realize you are dreaming it feels like something hits you in the chest with a sledgehammer.

>>66549507
>look into a mirror, you will never see yourself.

This shit implies you see nothing at all.

Don't try this particular method OP. You don't want to have a lucid NIGHTMARE instead, do you?

I cant open the image. What is it?

>>66550478
Yeah, you gotta learn to control your mind.

Like one time I was fucking this loli(dont judge me) and suddenly the only movie that ever scared me, jurassic park, popped into my mind, and a fucking T-rex attacked.

I had a lucid dream once when I was very little but obviously I didn't know what was going on and just thought I was awake

I noticed the shadow of a ferris wheel on my wall which scared me so I started walking to my parents room which was across from the bathroom, as soon as I got near it a fucking ghost popped out and I woke up screaming

I've had a few lucid dreams. In the most recent one, as soon as I realized I was dreaming and gained control all of the people in the dream, including an older version of myself which was part of the dream before I realized I was dreaming, turned to me and said at the same time, "You're not supposed to be here."

Bullshit.

>Look into mirror
>See nothing
>Flip switch
>Stays dark

FUCK THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RECIPE FOR A NIGHTMARE

Yes. It works. I've done it a little differently from the directions, but it's possible.

Here's my story as quickly as I can tell it: I get mean insomnia when I stop drinking. Trying to sleep and running in and out of bursts of sleep is when I slipped lucidly.

Trying to get to sleep, I went into REM quickly enough to remain aware of what was going on.

It's hard to control. You HAVE TO FOCUS. You're technically awake and you have to focus on what's in the dream to stay in and to stay in control. Your mind will naturally want to find a way to confuse you and, effectively, conk your ass back out.

i don't think these are lucid dreams bros

>>66551821

>>66551589
For example, if you take 4 30 minute power naps and not sleep otherwise for a week, at the end of the week, you will only have to sleep for 2 hours and feel like you got 8, so long as you keep power napping.

Lucid dreaming is fucked up.

Don't do it, just don't.

The only way to get really good at it is to start remembering your dreams by keeping a dream journal.
When you do this, your dream memories become as vivid as your daytime ones.

The line between reality and dreams starts to blur...

>>66551895
Mine may or may not be, but it was still an odd experience for me. Mine is the one with the girl playing the piano

I still have lucid dreams, but I didn't actually read the picture.

Generally I have lucid dreams when I realize "wait a minute, I'm dreaming!" Last time I had one, I gained super strength and the power of flight and flew around in huge underground caverns punching mutalisks out of the air.

It was awesome.

Jesus fuck a lot of people in this thread are against lucid dreaming, this is ridiculous

Lucid dreaming is one of the best feelings of the world and it's totally harmless

i saw this shit on /x/ once and decided to try it. took a couple of nights but it just happened and i was stuck having lucid dreams for like 2 weeks or something. it was nice at first but then after awhile i kept waking up with sleep paralysis sweating my tits off and always feeling like whatever the dream i had was supposed to be a sign of some sort.

>>66551503
I don't, I just sleep.
>>66551522
afraid of clicking that link.


Also, I've noticed if you're having a nightmare and you know its a dream and yet you're still scared shitless... imagen nuclear war happening, image a mushroom cloud forming over the horizon.

Always works with me, sort of like jumping off a building in your dreams....except safer in case you arent dreaming.

Thanks to monster hunter I've become cured of my dinosaur fear, however I have a fear of black holes and any large space objects with a big gravity well. I don't know why..............I love reading and watching about black holes on tv and on the internet, but they always give me a sense of dread....something impossible to escape from...

Hey guys.

Don't do this.

>>66551522

Have you ever listened to a song that brought tears to your eyes.....I have

>>66551821

Nope, sorry. Whether it doesn't fit within your rigid standards of what you think it is, simply cannot do it or haven't tried is all irrelevant. It does not make something not happen.

If you've ever, EVER had a single nightmare in your life you know dreams have an impact and it is only a minor logical leap that these events can be controlled.

man I wish I could lucid dream :(

a few days ago I had a dream a milf was showing another milf how to properly shave her pussy. I just stood there and looked a bit but then went to do something else that I cannot remember.

Also yesterday I dreampt I was fucking my younger cousin. She was dildoing herself in a room and Im just like "can I stick it in" and she's like "mhm" then I started dream fucking her for like 3 seconds and then some black guy with a suit and glasses walks in and is like "THE FUCK U DOIN?"

Last dream I had involved driving some bat-mobile inspired car where you have to lay down, crashing it, and then flying by flapping my wings.

I might try this tonight

While I'm trying to stay still, how much does thinking effect the process? My mind runs like a motherfucker at night

/v/irgin from the last lucid dreaming thread here

This works. It's a technique called WILD (Wake-Into-Lucid-Dreaming). The point is to keep your mind aware while your body remains sleeping. So, when you enter a dream, you will be aware that it's a dream. There's another technique called MILD (Mnemonic-Induced Lucid Dreaming), that involves something called "reality checks." You create a habit of checking reality (trying to breathe through a plugged nose, counting your fingers, looking in mirrors, putting your fingers through your hand, etc). This habit carries over into your dream, and you will become aware you are dreaming when it works (you plug your nose, and are still able to breathe through it).

First one is something anyone can do (though this technique has made people get nightmares due to the fact that it's sleep paralysis), second one is something that may take a little while until the habit becomes natural for you.

It works for me /b/2.0 doesnt know whats they're talking about

Keep a dream journal, after a week It was fun.
Then i started losing sleep.
Dreams > reality

>>66552133
Why would you be afraid of clicking a youtube link?

>omg dont lucid dream or it will eat u

Holy shit you guys are pussies.

>>66552232
Don't think too hard, or you won't be able to go to sleep. You only need to retain a minimum amount of conciousness for your mind to stay awake.

>>66552071

Some of my lucid dreaming experiences include:

>Flying around in a beautiful city
>Fighting in DBZ style
>Making water drop from my fingers.... upwards
>Took part in a Warhawk battle, in Eucadia
>Fucked Jessica Alba

And much, much more. EVERYONE should try it

I've had a lucid dream... once.
I always heard that looking in mirrors is the best way to see if you're actually dreaming, so I did. Biggest fucking mistake in my life. For some reason, not seeing my reflection in the mirror instantly made my mind collapse and turned my dream into a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. Not fun stuff.
I was stuck in that nightmare for what seemed like an eternity until finally morning came and my alarm woke me up.

>>66552265
>Dreams > reality


+1

>>66552170
Calling to the Night, in my dream, nearly did. It was just so moving. I can't explain it though

I lucid dreamed on twice, both on the same night. Both times I used the spin method and it took me in deeper, but as soon as I seen Pyramid Head forming out of the mirror (never ever look in mirrors when you lucid dream, it triggers bad things) I tried to wake myself up. Shit was scary.

Sure is /x] in here.

Hell no, I've had sleep paraylysis without dreaming, and it was terrifying enough as it is. I'll probably dream of a mirror and have nightmares trying not to think of mirrors now though, thanks alot OP

>>66549507
The text in this image is full of crap. I've had lucid dreams, but I've also taken courses in grad school about how the brain works, including on what causes/maintains sleep.

There is nothing dangerous about lucid dreaming. People who think so have never had one, or have had one during a nightmare. It's only scary because you don't know how to accept that it's only a dream.

Report submitted! This window will close in 5 seconds...

>>66551979

This is pretty much any lucid dream I have, only I don't get to the tit grabbing part.

I might try this OP. Pretty stupid of me, considering I know for a FACT I'm going to fuck it up, and either have a fucked up nightmare, or wake up with sleep paralysis. Right now, I can tell one of these things is going to happen.

Still, I'll do it, just because I've always wanted to Lucid Dream. Don't you think it's worth it, /v/? You can fuck any girl you want, play any instrument in the world, and do just about ANYTHING. If I have to go through just one night of fucked up shit, for a chance at doing all of that, then I'm going to try.

>>66552355
Well dicks. I can try to control myself at least

If you're brave, when you lay down to go to sleep keep repeating your name over and over in your head...after awhile most people get the sensation of a dark figure watching you and eventually starts to call your name.

I did this once and it kinda worked, fucking freaked me out.

the light switch not working is true, but I've only tried it after somebody told me about it

try expanding your field of view if you can manage it

>>66552071
Ever heard the phrase "Too much of a good thing"?
It applies to this kind of shit, tenfold.

Once in a while is fine, but like I said in order to get really good at lucid dreaming and keep control to prolong them....you've gotta start sacrificing space in your head for all those dream memories.

It's a really fucked up thing when your dreams become so real you have to constantly be checking whether you're awake or asleep, or you remember things during the day that never actually happened but it seems like they did.

Why would anyone voluntarily make themselves insane like that?

>>66552470
how is this supernatural? Its science isnt it? but what the fuck do i know...

gonna try it tonight. (staying up for the evo ssf4 finals so ill be nice and tired)

>>66551780
Love that smell.

Hope she shows up in my dreams.

I'll tap dat ass.

Oh yeah guys, ever have a dream where you're trying to run away but you dont move or you go backwards?

Or how about you try to call for help but only whisper?

Or how about you have the ability of flight then suddenly something bad chases you and suddenly you cannot fly anymore?

That shit sucks.

Also screamers, like internet ones cept ones in your dreams. Hate those.

Ive had sleep paralysis so many times it doesnt frighten me anymore, cause i realize whats going on.
but boy, those first couple alien abductions, ghosts, and creepy clowns laughing scared the shit outta me

This sounds awesome
Essentially like tripping on shrooms without actually trying them

>>66552492
Yo, scholar - you neglected to explain what makes the method shown in the op's photo implausible.

>>66552462

The few times I've had lucid dreams gone bad I've just shut my eyes and let them stab me/kill me/whatever and then when I open them I'm just somewhere else and they're nowhere to be found, I then resume raping and pillaging

>>66551494
FUND THIS MOTHERFUCKER

Hey I saw this on /x/.

Did this a few nights ago. Worked out well enough, but DO NOT try checking mirrors as a way to see if you are dreaming.

HORRIBLE FUCKING NIGHTMARES THAT YOU CAN'T WAKE UP FROM.

SERIOUSLY DON'T LOOK INTO MIRRORS.

I'm too scared to try this shit anymore because of that.

>>66551957
Don't keep a dream diary, it tends to end in suicide.

Lucid dreaming, yes.
That method of inducing it, probably not.

sleep paralysis is scary. half of alien "abductions" and shadow people reports are caused by sleep paralysis.

Here's the trick.
Your mind and body work off each other, and create rhythms to mantain your efficient functioning.By using any form of Lucid Dreaming, you're effectively trying to subvert the natural processes that your body uses to grant you a peaceful night's sleep.

You're effectively /experimenting/ on your ability to sleep and dream- which ultimately also deals with your subconsious.

While it could, in theory, have positive effects, the most logical, sound thing to do is to NOT attempt to do such things.You are literally tampering with your brain.

I'm not your mom, Anon. But do try to keep a healthy mind, as well as your body.

>Lucid Dreaming
Oh that, wel-
>Sleeping with a quartz rock under your bed
ALL OF MY FUCKING HATE.

My mother and sister are into that shit, and I touch their rocks to troll them now and again when they rant about them to me. LOL THERE GOES THE "MAGIC".

>>66550653
yeah, some of the methods to check are freaky. An easy way is to look at a clock or watch, either you won't be able to make out what time it is at all, or it'll be really skewed, can't remember which.

But, honestly, whenever I've lucid dreamed, it's been pretty obvious..

LD expert here, literally hundreds of LDs to record, ask me anything

>>66552683
>Or how about you try to call for help but only whisper?

i recall a nightmare like that. I must have been no older than 7 when it happened. This is still one of my biggest fears. It probably stems from my fear of intimacy and trusting people

>>66552734
Scientists have designed goggles for this
You put them on before you sleep, and when the goggles detect the rapid-eye movement of REM sleep, it pulses a bright light onto your eyelids to trigger the lucid dream.

>>66552683
>Cry for help but it only comes out as a whisper

I FUCKING HATE THIS

SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS

BUT THEN SOMEONE THOUGHT IT'D BE FUNNY TO TAPE A FLASH BANG TO THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD

>>66552858
>I took a psych class in high school and now I make up bull shit theories!

I've been having lucid dreams every night for over a month now but It's posing a few issues. The biggest one being that sometimes I can't tell what's real and what isn't. The real world will sometimes feel like a dream to me and I constantly have to verify whether or not I'm awake.

>>66552759
>dont look in mirrors
>look in mirrors
challenge accepted

Ask someone to wake your ass up during the REM sleeping stage.

Congratulations, you're now scared shitless from the Sleep Paralysis and you will most likely remember your last dream.

>>66552951
That's your cue to stop doing it for a while

>>66551494 I never dream anymore.

drink more water during the day, do some relaxing breathing exercises before bed, don't drink coffee or eat chocolate at night.

>>66552858
That's what MILDing is for
WILDing is forceful. MILDing allows you to have a lucid dream in a dream that occured through natural sleep.

could i use this to actually have sex with some bitches? because if so...

>>66552910
I've had ones where I try to run from some huge monster or black guy or something, and I'll get slower and slower and eventually be frozen, then wake up trying to run. It sucks because the build up potential energy usually rockets me into the wall or something

Sleep Paralysis is fucking terrible, but this sounds awesome

Can someone explain this to me though? I've had dreams where I went through a whole day, perfectly normal like nothing was wrong and towards the end of the day I wake up only to realize I just wasted 18 hours in a dream doing the same shit I was about to do that day. I had deja vu so many times last year it was terrible

>>66552951
Time to take a break, broseph
That happened to me before. I'd have to do all these checks immediately after waking up, due to having so many dreams of waking up (though I was still in a dream)

>>66552394

I TOLD YOU ABOUT MIRRORS!

>>66552759

Haha, I came across this as a way to become lucid by accident. My face always did something really weird (looking old, weird colour, morphing into someone else's, melting etc) and I'd instantly realise it was a dream. Worked 100% of the time purely by accident

>look into mirror
>see a necromorph in reflection
>necromorph jumps out and attacks me
>rips off my head and replaces its head on my body
>i can still see out of my severed head

Mirrors will fuck you up, man.

oh fuck
i have a dream journal but havent been using it much anymore.
it's pretty cool though, i can recall the dreams i wrote down very well, and looking up stuff and from you guys i know not to look in mirrors thanks broskis.

>>66553027
>I drink loads of CHOCOLATE MIIILK

There's my problem.

Soda doesn't count as water, does it?

<------ no fun. get ready for it.

>>66552683

I've only lucid dreamed twice.

They were both bad experiences.
One of them almost involved tapping ass, until it got incredibly fucked up.

>>66553218

Your problem is bad memory, everyone dreams, the ones who say they dont/dont much just cant remember them

The way lucid dreaming works is by your body falling asleep before your mind does, and I've been able to do it pretty regularly. Problem is, it has a very high chance of happening whenever I drink and the dream is always related to the wherever I am, so I have issues knowing what actually happened ;_;

Alright, so exactly how much control do you have, movement wise?

Every dream I have always ends up like >>66552683

Like I said , I dont think it's healthy to try all these things- there's no need to tamper with your sleep cycle- sleeping is so goddamn important, /v/.

>>66552935
I'm not making any theories.
I'm just trying to persuade, if I can, a few people from trying this.

There's very likely a reason your brain doesnt remember 3/4 of the dreams you have, /v/.Some shit shouldnt be remembered.

Attempting to analyze anything in detail will trigger a lucid dream. There is no such thing as fine detail in a dream.

>>66552239

WILD is the quick, but dangerous way to do it, and MILD is the safer, but takes a while method.

I would suggest WILD is you're planning on testing it one time, or maybe a few times. If you do it too much, your sleep could be effected, and could cause some issues.

MILD allows you to lucid dream, while you're actually dreaming, so nothing gets fucked up in your sleep schedule. However, not everyone can pull of MILD, and you have to be pretty dedicated to doing it.

There is an in-between method that seems to work, but if you're like me and can't sleep if there's too much disturbance/light in the room, then it'll just cause you to be INCREDIBLY sleepy.

You take a blinking light, preferably red, and place it in front of your eyes when going to sleep. When you're dreaming, you'll recognize the light (this'll take a few nights to do), and realize your dreaming. The hard part is forcing yourself to stay asleep. Takes some practice but it works.

Also, for all you people about to try OP's way, thinking "I just won't look in a mirror", to try and avoid having a nightmare... That won't work. Since you've already seen mirror related text, you'll automatically think back to it while Lucid Dreaming, and the mirror will just appear. Everyone in the thread saying it'll cause a nightmare doesn't really help either.

You can look in mirrors all you want, don't listen to the fags telling you mirrors are evil. A mirror is just an object like a desk, TV, or cat. If it triggers anything scary it's because these people are telling you it will so you expect it to happen. It's all in your mind anyway, so just make believe mirrors are good things if you want to wake up.

1278899617163.jpg" target="_blank">1278899617.jpg-(216 KB, 600x338, incubi.jpg)

what if...

you are dreaming right now

>>66552394

Yeah, I was stuck like that once.
I actually died in my dream too, and I was forced to lay there for a long ass time before I woke up. I was aware of my surroundings, but I couldn't feel anything and I couldn't move, I could only move my eyes so I was able to see.

It was scary.

I'm too much of a pussy to do this. I'll probably never do this either.

I've never fully lucid dreamed, I've tried WILD more then a few times and I always get about half way, the farthest I've gotten felt extremely spiritual, and it was more powerful then any drug I've taken. I was in some astral realm of sorts, it was very light and weak though.

A mirror in a dream often reflects how dreamers feel that they are being seen by others in waking life, albeit symbolically. If they see their teeth falling out in a mirror, it reflects their concern about their appearance. Looking at oneself in a broken mirror in a dream reflects feelings that their perspective on themselves is broken or distorted. This is a common dream symbol for someone addicted to alcohol or drugs.

>>66553342
>there's no need to tamper with your sleep cycle

I wasn't aware my lucid dreaming was keeping me from my full 8 hours, I wake up feeling refreshed and I had a good dream while doing it, there's no negative effects, quit being a trolling faggot

I suppose it was a lucid dream, since i pretty much took control of a Gurren Lagann and fought Viral while my team supported me from the Dai-Gurren. I was watching it in first person when not in the Gurren, but it went all crazy camera angles on me during the fights. It all took place in the area behind my house, as well. Oh, and people had Jetboots.

LUCID DREAMING:

A gamble between godmode for 5 minutes or one of the worst 5 minutes in your life.

Mirrors aren't supposed to be scary. You created this idea that if you look into a mirror, you'll see something disturbing. It will happen because you believe it will happen.

The first time I looked into a mirror during a dream, I saw a kitten on my head.

>>66553342
You do realize that as far as your BRAIN is concerned, a mirror is nothing more than another object, right?

By telling you repeatedly about mirrors, and how scary the possibilities are, you are already literally priming your subconscious to fuck with you.Your brain will do the rest.

I'd suggest not tampering with your mind, /v/.

>>66553601

That's sleep paralysis

Why does everyone in this thread confuse sleep paralysis with Lucid Dreaming?

The amount of general bullshit in this thread makes it unbearable to read, its as if you're ALL 15 YEAR OLDS PULLING STORIES OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND RUMOURS YOUR GYMCLASS BUDDIES TOLD YOU

>>66552605

This is retarded. If you have problems like this, lucid dreaming certainly isn't the cause

>>66553751
inb4 furries

>>66553300 Your problem is bad memory, everyone dreams, the ones who say they dont/dont much just cant remember them

correct. but what causes the forgetfulness is your mental and physical state. for example, a guy that takes care of himself and has a nice relaxed night will remember a LOT of his dreams. someone who is fat and eats crap all day and tosses and turns in bed won't.

digestion and your energy levels affect everything related to sleep

OP's picure puts you in sleep paralysis; probably one of the scariest things ever. You realize you're awake, but you can't move. Usuallly followed by a nightmare.

To safely lucid dream, play music while you're tired. Try to go to sleep naturally, but focus on the music. Keep your focus on the music until you feel awake. Turn off the music and enjoy.

>>66553598

Hmm valid point there, let me check

*pinches self*

Lolnope

hmm.. i dont think ive ever seen a mirror in my dreams

>>66553342
Well, I just finished a college psych course actually. That's what Freud basically thought, but I'm more partial to the theory that most of our dreams are too absurd/contain too many things that we have no archetype or memories that we can relate it to, so our conscious minds can't recall/process them.

I did this and dreamt of several things. Laying down on some rocks with Nala from The Lion King, Tali from Mass Effect and shifted into a space marine fighting a large enemy force.

It was beautiful. Just try to remain concentrated and avoid thinking of scary things. If you think of scary things, they WILL happen.

the first time i teleported in a lucid dream was pretty fun.

bouncing all around the world in an instant, getting to tropical islands in a flash. shit was cool.

I've lucid dreamed two times. One was when I hadn't fapped for like two weeks for god knows why, and I had the most vivid sex dream I've ever had. Like, the blowjob I dreamed up felt EXACTLY like how it does it real life.

The other one was super, super fucked up and this dude I only vaguely know who is super nice was the darkest dude I'd ever met in the dream. It was pretty much just me fighting him but in a completely not physical sense. I can't even describe it but after that I hope I never get one again as the line between dream and reality really seemed to blur. I felt like how I did after a mushroom trip for a couple days. Really, really fucking weird.

>>66553394

the thing with mirrors is your subconscious can't show you your own reflection, as it isn't your consciousness. nothing evil about it, it just is above your compreension on a subconscious level.

the other day I dreamed and it fucked up my head

all of my area of sight was covered by a slideshow of pictures. I had no body and could not close my eyes. everything had very slight film grain and there was no sounds.

the slideshow consisted of a mother and daughter naked having sex with the father. (was pretty hot for my imagination actually) anyway after some hot made up pics,,,,

the pictures that followed were gruesome. The father appeared to have killed the mother and daughter. he wrapped the girls head in plastic wrap and fucked it while the woman lay in a pool of blood

If anyone's had a bad experience, it's because they're fucking pansy faggots. Why would you hate it? What's wrong with you? You're fucking NEO in your own Matrix where you can summon and destroy anything you can possibly imagine, and your brain can generate the most amazing landscapes. I've flown into space and made the moon crash into the earth. You're a faggot if you're afraid of dreams, stop this 'OMG DONT MESS WIT UR MIND DREAMS R MENT TO BE LEFT ALONE, BECOZ I SAW A HORROR FILM WERE DEY WERE IN A DREAM'

>>66553432
To be honest, holding my breath doesnt work......... i even tried to drown myself and it still doesn't work.

Only thing that works is imagening nukes going off.

Im not afraid of nuclear war, heck my background is a nuclear explosion, but that always wakes me.

>>66549507

I didn't read your picture, but yes, lucid dreaming is perfectly doable. I had a lucid dream just this morning, involved some old friends. I didn't do anything crazy though.

>>66553177
Though this is probably the most terrifying fucking thought in the thread. Now it's going to happen because I'll comment about it and remember it better.

FUCK.

>>66553094
This shit happened all the time in high school. Though a chunk of them weren't the same monotonous bullshit and had different things happen.

Was freaky because ones that were different sometimes would happen the next day just like in the dream. Felt like some crazy psychic shit.

Sage for not vidya again though.

i just did this. i'm gonna test to see if i'm dreaming...

Are you sure it was a Lucid Dream, or just a dream where you piloted Gurren Lagann? If you realized you were dreaming haflway through the dream, and was able to stay dreaming, and decided you wanted to pilot Gurren Lagann, then you were Lucid Dreaming. If you just happened to have a dream where you piloted Gurren Lagann, and just happened to remember the dream, then no, you didn't Lucid Dream.

Can you die in your lucid dream and never wake up? :O

>>66551422

I know that looking at clocks, looking in a mirror or flipping a light switch can help you tell if you are dreaming, but can also lead to nightmares.

Imagine looking at your analog watch, you don't see two hands and numbers but a jumbled mess of lines and letters, you realize this is a dream, anything can happen. [/spoiler]Then you look in front of you[/spoiler]

I once had a dream that I visiting my Grandma's apartment, and she lived in japan. I had to live with her about a year (I did this once before during my childhood). But when I got there weird stuff happening. There was a poltergeist/demon haunting the house. I tried to think nothing of it, but sometimes the curtains and doors would swing wildly, or the lighting will flicker on and off rapidly. I tried to tell myself that it was a dream, and that I had to wake up but nothing would happen. Calling my family didn't work either, as they said the closest they can get me back home would be a month.

I couldn't survive a month. At the end of the dream, I stood in the living room, closed my eyes, braced myself, and openly challenged the ghost. When I opened my eyes the ghost threw everything at me. Horrible mental images, gory scenes, images of my mother's face being distorted in demonic, terrifying ways while I heard a loud wailing the entire time. Everything was shaking and I could do nothing but stand there, absorbing everything that the ghost showed me.

Immediately afterward, I woke up.

Now I'm afraid of sleep paralysis, so I position myself in such when I open my eyes, I see nothing no matter which way I look.

>>66554091
This x 100

Seriously, if you know you're dreaming then what's the problem? I used to always have nightmares with Jason Vorhees chasing me, and now if he shows up I just kill him and move on

>>66554103
If I know for a fact I've got my alarm set, then I usually just wait it out until I hear the bell

If I'm sleeping without an alarm, I stand still and start imagining the back of my eyelids.

>>66554136
Nah, the most terrifying thing is coming up to a girl watching television, she turns her head with black holes for eyes and screams like a fucking banshee.

Also, avoid televisions that have static or are off if you know you're dreaming.

>>66554191
no

just how does dream journal work? how can you write your dream in a journal if you don't remember them?

I don't have a huge fear of something specific, but I'd probably piss myself seeing the shit I've seen on /x/. I've wanted to try lucid dreaming, but the fact of my mind conjuring up scary shit in it, scares me off.

I had a Lucid dream when I was like 8. It was a dream about Link, and he was killing people around my house, so I noticed my house and realized I was dreaming, and then I was Link. Suddenly, a bunch of bad guys attacked me and I was scared as fuck because it seemed so real. I thought I was going to die, when all of a sudden Sheik and a bunch of other people came to protect me.

>>66554191

WHY DOES EVERY FAGGOT ASK THIS?!!!!!!!!?!?!??£!L£K!J£UJ!£B!I£!£

ITS NOT THE MATRIX, NO ONE DIES IN THE DREAM AND THEN DIES IN REAL LIFE, JUST LIKE YOU DONT DIE IN A GAME AND THEN DIE IN REAL LIFE. ITS THE SAME GOD DAMN SHIT YOU FUCKING EMOTICON-USING FAGGOT, STOP EATING DICKS AND BE A MAN

>>66554161
Well I made decisions in the dream, had conversations with the mechanics, etc. I had tactics on how to defeat enemies. It's just that once I got into the Gurren Lagann itself, the camera switched to cinematic mode, but there was a kind of Picture-in-Picture showing the cockpit.

>>66554406
most of the time you'll remember parts of your dream for up to 5 min after you wake up. You just have to be quick. The more you do it, the more you remember.

>>66554406

Write down anything you can remember, doesn't have to be the entire dream, keep doing that and eventually your memory will get better

>>66554252

Yeah really, I've had a few lucid dreams and when ever scary shit happens I always go into dream god mode and fuck shit up.

>>66554414

Why would you be scared in a Lucid dream? Its more likely to happen in a normal dream, in a lucid dream you know you're dreaming

>>66554406
You're thinking about remembering the dream so you can write it into the journal, so your brain thinks "right, I need to remember" then you write it as soon as you wake up. If you wait too long the memory starts to slip.

>>66554433
holy shit Mr Descending Doubles

>>66549634
This, shit is scary.

In most of my dreams I've had this gun right here. It sucks when it doesn't fucking work and I need to kill some big ass deamons.

>>66554532
Like we've said.

Looking into mirrors(and static televisions) fucks up your lucid dreams.

Yume Nikki general?

Isn't lucid dreaming when you dream in color? If so, I have those sometimes. They usually involve demons and shit. I doesn't afraid of it.

This thread is scaring the piss out of me. Not sleeping tonight.

Have you ever been so scared of a nightmare, you can't bring into mind how the creature looked without feeling nerveous?

strange, im pretty much aware im dreaming every time

i mean i can wake up and will and if i do so long enough ofcourse the dreamstate is lost

>>66554252

There isn't a problem, unless you're new to Lucid Dreaming. If you've done it a few times, and gotten the hang of it, then yeah, you can just overcome whatever nightmare you're having, and carry on doing whatever.

If you're new to Lucid Dreaming, however, then you'll most likely panic as soon as something scary happens, forgetting you're in control. This'll lead to your imagination taking over, and suddenly instead of being one scary thing chasing you, it's a shit ton of scary stuff, and there's no way back out, except to keep on dreaming.

If you can avoid panicking, you're fine.

1278900283.jpg

Do they really exist?

>>66554507

Everytime I do something vaguely erotic in my lucid dreams, I start to wake up big time ;~; sexed so many dream women in my time though, you can even feel the gentle brushing of their pubes :3 Managed to stretch my dick like a Stretch Armstrong and cum bucketloads of gloopy cum once too, that was pretty amazing.

On a side note, I always realise I'm dreaming when I can suck my own dick

>>66554645
How are you scared?

>>66554532

If you panic, then you forget you're in control. Shit spirals from there.

>>66554513
that's because you get too excited when you realize it. Literally, your parasympathetic nervous system excites your body past a limit to where you can stay asleep and it wakes you up. You have to catch yourself when you realize your dreaming and stay calm for a bit.

Oddly enough, the first night I tried this, it worked, but not OPs method. It warned me about waking myself up from getting excited when you first realize you're dreaming, so when I did, I just froze in place until I knew I was okay to go DBZ mode and shit

>>66554690
Yeah retaining lucidity is harder than it sounds. You could walk through a door and be on a desert island, the confusion could very easily make you forget and it'll just be a normal dream again.

Sometimes, if I'm really tired, I wake up in the middle of the night -- sort of -- but I can't move my body and there's a strong tension in my chest, like an iron weight's been dropped there. It gets hard to breathe, but I usually snap out of it. Is this sleep paralysis or something more sinister?

>>66554623

Maybe if you're a faggot, if you KNOW it's a dream then you KNOW nothing can happen to you, if you get scared you clearly believe in monsters at which point I will now laugh at you

i hate when i move in my dream then i do it irl
DODGE A BULLET
fall out out of bed is worst

I've had 3 lucid dreams in my life. All 3 times I heard a constant and extremely loud BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (lolvuvuzela) noise the whole time and it wouldn't stop. Then when I tried to move a body part with my mind, it wouldn't work, so I tried moving again and I just moved my body part in real life and woke up.

Ah, but the thing is in my dreams. It's like I'm not really there, sorta like I'm watching a movie. I don't think I've ever had a lucid dream.

>>66554886
>implying your subconscious retains the ability to process things logically in a dream

high school

I notice I remember all my dreams... I think its cause I'm such a sound sleeper.

Like, I live in south carolina and we have numerous tropical storms and huricanes.

I've slept through a catagory 2 hurricane.

I've also slept through earthquakes and people working on my house's roof.

....the last time I ever had a nightmare is when I was about 15, 7 years ago. Nowadays the only bad dreams i have is of my pets dying... which isn't really scary... so i dont classify it as nightmares.

I pretty much only dream about playing the vidya cause i play it so much in real life.

One time back when I used to play WoW I dreamt myself in molten core with 39 other people in the raid.......i was naked..............everyone laughed at me cept this gnome girl who winked.

I forget the rest but i remember waking up with jizz in my pants.

Sweet dreams tonight /v/

The method in OP's post is the most difficult way of achieving a Lucid Dream. The best way is just to get into the habit of doing reality checks constantly and recording your dreams in a journal (which itself, though sounding shit to begin with, is actually really amazing)

>>66554856

Well people into paranormal and shit call it Hagging.

Google it, bro.

>>66552239

This sounds like it could be the plot of a really artsy movie

As a kid I eventually just got fed up with the shitty dreams I was having to the point that I was like "HEY, CUT IT OUT" to my subconscious and gradually became aware of when I was dreaming about 9 out of 10 times.

The strange thing is, lucid dreams, at least for me, are much harder to remember upon waking. Presently I literally have about one or two dreams a month I have any recollection of whatsoever for even a second after they're over.

Can't speak for OP's method, though. I'm a horrible insomniac too and getting to sleep without changing positions multiple times is utterly impossible.

>>66551282
Most dreams turn mirrors into liquid like surfaces. The Further Adventures of Alice Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carol is filled with so much dream imagery that you begin to wonder if he was talking about a lucid dream the whole time.

my favorite dream movie is altered states

>>66550286

I would be wide awake in the middle of the day and I would enter sleep paralysis.

>>66555000

Been out of high school for 3 years brah, just don't be a pussy and you're fine, first time scary shit happened to me during a lucid dream I just kept calm and didn't panic and nothing happened, I just made it go away and continued

Lucid dreaming is real, but OP's method of achieving them sounds bogus. Especially the part with the quartz.

>>66555070

Hello

>>66555070

'sup

>>66554886
Ummm, my problem is black holes, which exist.

Still dont know why, but they always turn my dreams, even lucid ones, into shit.

I guess I just have that mindset no matter what you cant escape from a black hole, not even in your dreams.

I was 12 when I first had a lucid dream. shit was not fun man


5 weeks before my birthday I lost my virginity and all I could think about for weeks was fucking girls all day even though I was very new at it. It got to the point where I had dreams about it and after my birthday at about 7 or 8ish am I woke up from a very very realistic dream involving me going around with my friends having a good time then everything turns black and I start seeing faces from family photos(blackandwhite photos). I just kept running away from the pictures but they kept following me until the whole sky turned red/orange.

I was creep'd the fuck out and stayed up for almost 2 days.

Let's say you start lucid dreaming and get into a nightmare. How would you get out of it?

I'm gonna dream about perverted things tonight.

Awesome.

haveing sex dreams will never be good until I have sex. Whats a vagina feel like ?

>>66555233

And you'd be wrong

I'm afraid to try lucid dreaming. I'm very pessimistic and almost every drug I have tried that has a possibility of having a bad high or "trip" has turned out horribly for me.

>>66552858
man's nature to be unatural man

if i can summon sucubi in my head ill fuckin do it

if you guys ever manage to lucid dream try flying its the best feeling in the world even if its only in a dream

>>66555358
You don't, that's the scary part.

>>66555358
hold breathe
imagine an explosion
in the dream force with all your might to close your eyes
if you realize you're dreaming just wait a bit

>>66555358
Just scream at the top of your lungs, " THIS IS A DREAM AND I WILL AWAKE. BEGONE NIGHTMARE. I WELCOME REALITY"

>>66555356

That's just a vivid dream, not a lucid one

I've had lucid dreams before where I've looked into a mirror and just saw nothing. Most of the time when I have lucid dreams I did not attempt to have them, they just happened. That's what makes them special and memorable you morons.

1278900764.gif

1278900815.jpg

I tried Lucid Dreaming, only successfully did it a few times though.

I didn't use OP's method, it just takes practice to do it naturally.

It's all about realising that you're dreaming, which puts you in complete control.

Only times I can remember is one where I was flying, then I suddenly realised that this was impossible and I was dreaming. Getting excited is what woke me up though, so that was short lived.

The best one I had was literally being in an empty room with the realisation that I was dreaming, then I was in complete control and could do whatever I pleased.

If you want to be an extra fag you can keep a dream journal in order to aid your lucid dreaming, otherwise you can try OP's method (personally never worked for me).

you niggers need to stop watching the cell

>>66555374

Stick your finger in your mouth and then touch the bottom of your tongue.

Congrats, you now know what a vagina feels like.

>>66555592
WOW ITS LIKE IM NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE!

>>66555358

One time I had this pretty neat dream about a theme park but I felt how slowly shit was becoming grimdark and dystopic, so I said Fuck this shit nigga and I rip the planet in half.

Try to scare me in the middle of a ball of fire!

>>66555358

It's not a nightmare if it's a lucid dream, since you know you're dreaming, you just fly away or punch/shoot the shit out of whatever's meant to be scary, or even just morph it into something else, but why'd you be scared of it when it's not even real?

>>66555557

>>66554091

You guys are pathetic. This guy's right, all of your mirror / TV garbage is either because you're trolling or a pansy. When I had a lucid dream, I flew around a fucking awesome neon circus and banged a chick. Looks like my mind can actually think of something entertaining.

>>66555557
Once I had a very vivid nightmare.

I remember taking a gun and attempting to shoot myself in the temple. I fired the gun and was unable to see/hear/feel anything other than a slight vibration. My only thought was "oh god I'm not dead"

Then I woke up.

Most of the time I forget 90% of my dreams 30 mins after I wake up.

>>66555358

You fap, duh.

Seriously sleep paralyzis is horrible don't try it.
I remember when i was 10 years old i was completely frozen while sleeping, shit scared me so much because everything was so confusing, so i started to scream but nothing came out of my mouth.

>>66555358
For one you have to not panic, and then you can just give yourself a weapon and have an epic battle, or you can teleport yourself somewhere else

I suggest the epic battle

searchin this post

The last time I remember vividly remembering and taking part in my dreams was quite a few years ago. RE3 was newly released and I was reading and reading an article in a magazine about it and I kept staring at Nemesis just looking how gory he was. That night - and the following week or so - a series of nightmares where he would always pop up, grab me by the head and squeeze until my head exploded ensued. They'd all start out friendly enough; being with family or friends but then theyd all disappear for one reason or another, then Nemesis would appear. Sorta like if you were playing a L4D game only for your team mates to all get yanked off and a tank to spawn - thats how it felt.
I kinda want to try lucid dreaming but im so fucking petrified he'll reappear I never bother.

>>66555786

You have issues.

don't mind me, just enjoying not having a brain that wants to kill me

>>66555715
It is if you looked into a mirror.

There is no such thing as a lucid dream.
There are only dreams where you dream that you can control your dream.
Suck it down, lucidfags.

>>66555786
your lucky you didn't wake up dead

I had a dream I was being assraped my pyramid head. When I woke up my ass was really sore.

was I raped? this is a 100% real story too :(

I always wondered this since it happened when I was young

I can ALWAYS wake myself up easily, though, so I'm not afraid of nightmares, not that i use to have any

Not really. It's impossible to die in your dreams.

I've had a few other dreams that resulted in my "death" in my lifetime. You wake up.

Lets talk about incest.

Anyone notice you're alright with fucking your mother/sister in your dreams but disgusted by it in reality?

Man, I would fuck all kinda of vidya characters. :3c

"congrats you;re not a pussy!"

>>66555955
This.
You're all retarded.

Guys, if you ever want to wake up during a dream, close your eyes IN the dream. Whenever I do this, it acts like reverse of what I'm really doing and I actually open my eyes irl...usually to an incredibly bright room or television, but awake nonetheless.

Once I go lucid I like to immediately blank the entire environment to white

also I just saw an Inception commercial :o

>>66556569

You cant usually, just like if you were in a non-lucid dream, why would you want to anyway? The most likely way is to do something that gets your adrenaline pumping, like jumping off a cliff, having sex with a girl or having a gunfight with some police.

Of course, be sure you're dreaming before you try any of these :3

I don't think you understand what is being said.
Lucid dreamers claim to be in control of their dreams.
I don't think they are.
I think that the are simply dreaming that they have control.
It's an illusion.

Sorry if I'm shitting all over your magic mind power.
I understand it hurts to be told you're not a special snowflake.

Easiest way to get out of sleep paralysis is wiggling your toes.

I had more sleep paralysis situations than lucid dreaming.
You get used to it.

this is what i see when i check myself in the mirror.
the next moment i'm sucked into the darkness and am stuck in a dark, world of nightmares. even though i'm aware i'm dreaming, i can't seem to get powers to demons, and when i do, i just happen to see an another mirror and even worse shit starts.

sometimes i wake up gasping for air, paralyzed, wet from cold sweat. sometimes i wake up and seemlingly land on my bed as if i was floating just a second ago. sometimes i wake up like i described above, feel glad that i'm finally awake, get up.. and when walking past a mirror.....

>Some people say... sleeping with a quartz rock under your pillow will induce lucid dreaming
>Although it may be possible

Stopped reading there

The panic always fucking sets in.

Dreams are lovely, you don't think much or question shit in them so things usually go swimmingly. When you lucid dream, you're taking away the nice rails that safely guide you through the dream world. You have freedom, but anything bad you think of WILL happen, and the whole thing goes down the tubes.

Last lucid dream I had, I lasted about ten seconds before shit got bad. I was walking with my little sister eating ice cream, realized I was dreaming, suddenly thought "what if a bunch of rabid dogs came out from behind that house?" and then FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

The last lucid dream I had before that was one of those instances of getting confused and everything heading back into a normal dream. Started making all of maiwaifus real, suddenly my physics professor comes smashing through a wall and any sense of control I had is gone. Shitsux.

1278901559.jpg

I used to go on MSN in my sleep, have dreams about talking to people. I wake up, and the chatlogs are there and people are asking why I was saying so much weird shit last night.

Shit was bizarre.

Let's say you get so good at lucid dreaming that you dream forever (or what seems like forever).

What if doing that effectively shuts off whatever circuit in your brain that wakes you up?

You'd unintentionally be committing suicide, and nobody would know why. It'd just get written off as one of those "died in their sleep" things.

I have an incredibly vivid imagination. I've had MANY, MANY lucid dreams.

Most of the times, I run quickly for a short time, leap into the air, and hover above the ground.

One very fascinating dream I had went like this:

I am standing in a small, shallow, square pool of water surrounded by apartment buildings. In front of me stands a figure shrouded in darkness. I feel threatened. I look at my hands, and notice they are burning red-hot. I feel a great surge of energy rush to my hands, extend them towards the figure, and release it in a great flash of light... And then I awake.

>>66556887
Sentience is just the illusion by our chemically-controlled brains that we have free will and are not purely products of genetics and environment.

Shit sucks.

I'm going...

I'm finally going there... TONIGHT. :D

if OP's method is no good what would you guys recommend? the journal shit?

>>66557055
So what?

You dream forever.

For the rest of eternity you are basically god.

The only times I've ever had sleep paralysis nothing bad happened,first time what I did was fail to move my arms, then I heard some noise, tried moving again, couldn't, so I tried small things, wiggling my toes worked so I was all "eh, my just have been sleeping in a weird angle" and nothing bad happened.

Second time is was just one arm, it was warm so I know I hadn't been sleeping on it, I just picked it up and again, didn't open my eyes. Not even sure why, but I just had this instinct saying "opening your eyes is probably a bad move right now"

>>66557055

This is the most elaborate 'I have the dumb and dont understand how living works' post I've ever read, congrats on completely not understanding anything

has anyone ever dreamed that their bed was tilting forwards and when you feel like your about to slip, you jolt straight awake and your body jumps in the air?

>>66557232
I wonder if this is what people who are unconscious for years get.

Imagine that, being unconscious might be one of the best feeling ever, or the most horrible.

I have had chronic sleep paralysis since I was a kid. I get it about once every two months and it isn't so bad once you learn to expect it. As kid it would scare me shitless, but now that I'm older I know that all you need to so is proverbally close your eyes and force yourself to calm down. If there is an intimidating shadow or feeling try and use it to your advantage, it is still your "dream". Last time I had sleep paralysis a crushing force enveloped my face and chest, instead of freaking out I pretended it was a hot guy violently making out with me. Everything went better than expected.

I've posted this on /x/ before asking the same thing. he made a few corrections. It does work by the way.

Whenever I lucid dream first thing I do is check my pockets. You never know WHAT you'll find in your pockets. I keep finding this red rubber ball that lets me jump close to 200 feet in the air. Shits awesome, it's like I gain the powers of rubber.

>>66557417

Good thing I found this thread before it 404'd

Does smoking marijuana affect whether I can lucidly dream or not? Because it definitely makes them feel real.

>>66557055
No dude, that's how you end up in a coma.

>>66557425

It's the HOLY GRAIL of methods, Lucid Dreaming on demand. Problem is it's ridiculously difficult to work. Most of the time you'll either just keep yourself wide awake and feel pissed off that it didnt work, or you'll fall straight to sleep.

As has been posted 999999 times, keep a dream journal, look for recurring dream 'signs' such as being able to do something that you cant in real life, or something weird that often happens in your dreams. When you see these things, realise you're dreaming and try out some cool techniques like imagining there's a naked woman behind you, then turning round to see if she's there

Remember guys! It's fun to be scared some times. If you're planning to try this be sure to think about Silent Hill and listen to the siren before bed. Waking up in Silent Hill is QUITE A RUSH.

I banged my mother in a dream once. It was the least sexy thing ever and I spent the next two weeks being paranoid that it actually happened.

And last night I had a dream that my mom gave me a handjob, but she didn't look like my mom so it was okay.

That's really a larger issue.

I'm implying that you don't, and in all likelyhood the phenomenon is just a subset of normal dreams, and sufficiently common that people identify it as a distinct type.
Lots of people have dreams where they can fly.
Lots of people have dreams where they are running in slow motion.
Lots of people have dreams where their teeth fall out.

I think it's likely lots of people have dreams where they dream they are in control of a dream.

I think you would be more likely to have those dreams if you spent a good portion of the time leading up to going to sleep thinking about the subject. I know I have fallen asleep and dreamed about the vidya I had been playing for the last 4 hours, or the book I was reading, or the subject I was studying.

You only lucid dream for as long as your normal REM cycle lasts, assuming you become INSTANTLY lucid at the beginning (15 mins max usually I believe, but it's been so long since I've checked).

The only difference between a normal dream and a lucid dream is that you know it's a dream, everything else works as normal
