Do you have lucid dreams?

So, like in title. Do you have lucid dreams? How?

I've had many lds but so short or stupid. One night it was going to have a nightmare. My grandma was changing people into a mutants:lol: She has changed my sister and then, hey it's an ld! I wanted to continue my dream and change my sister back. her face has blurred (lol) and it was the end(why my dreams are so short?) . What's your experience?

My nightmares have lucid dreams of me.

 

[luki1997a]

I meant that my dream was goung to be a nightmare:lol:

My dreams go beyond lucid: they have a teaser, main titles, a logic plot (of sorts), and end titles. And they're even subbed in French.
The only thing missing are the trailers.

I pretty much perfected a method of inducing lucid dreams.

One semester for about a month I found myself having long (hours long) lucid dreams during my post-morning-class naps. Then I set out to see if I could replicate the result by replicating the circumstances.

This is what I do
- BTW this, for some reasons, only works for me during the cold months, October-April

1) Wake up early. after about six hours of sleep.
2) Do not eat anything. Coffee or juice seemed to be okay
3)Get up immediately and immediately start engaging in a mild cardiovascular exercise. For me this was walking through the cold several miles to campus, then running up four flights of stairs.
4) occupy yourself with at least an hour of mental exercise (lecture, homework, trying to dock with the ISS in orbiter)
5) repeat step 3
6) Get back into bed and go back to sleep
7) enjoy the world as you wish it to be


I don't have any clue why this works. It works for me with about a 80% success rate. It works for other people I have told this method to.

If it smells like nightmare, i usually just jump to another location. Other than that, lucid dreams are random occurrences, that don't last long - most of the time i forget it or get it slipped into background and keep dreaming.

As a side effect, nightmares are now having intricate and dramatic storylines, to stop me from recognizing them as such.
Something like getting too close to the US president visiting my city, resulting in getting cryofrozen for investigation for 6 months and thawing to realize that i now have to pass all the ultra-tough exams i just did again! The rest of it revolves around fixing the damn time machine.

Haha i like having them when i want to. Most of the time, I just want to fall asleep and wake up. So I do.

I once had a nightmare about what the world would look like if we did not have a freeware space flight simulator.

Was it 12 years ago?

 

[Urwumpe]

Like I said, I can sleep with the strong knowledge that I am the worst guy in my dreams.

You are afraid of destruction, death and horror? In my dreams, you can often find such things too. But I am on the giving end of it.

I like the smell of Napalm in the morning. Smells like....victory.

(My only real-life horror is getting locked in, physically or psychologically. But that is something that can't happen in my dreams)

 

[Dambuster]

I rarely remember my dreams - I figure it's better that way anyway, given what little I do remember :lol:

I've had many lds

I smell a typo in the preceding line...

I pretty much perfected a method of inducing lucid dreams.

This works for me too. In fact, it works pretty well in many situation where you got 6 hours of sleep. Usually, the brain rests during the last 2 hours of sleep, and that's when dreams happen. When you do physical and mental activities, the brain has to work a lot and it's especially hard for him if it hasn't the proper amount of water/sugars. Cold drains even more energy, forcing your body to convert it into body heat. So, when you get back home and sleep, the brain needs serious rest and there dreams happen (brain cells reorganize and form new patterns).

Concerning the content of the dreams, that's more a psychanalytic matter.

By LSD or LDS?

 

[Star Voyager]

I think he meant "LDS":

 

[Eli13]

I don't get it. LSD is a drug. LDS is a religion.

 

[diogom]

Maybe it's short for lucids? :shrug:

 

[T.Neo]

Yes and no. The times when I have actually become lucid are exhilerating and shortlived. Usually in my dreams though, I'm aware that I'm dreaming, within the dream, though I'm not really lucid.

My dreams do tend to become mind-cinema though. The good ones, anyway.

I think he meant "LDS":

:lol:

Once I had a dream in Japanese, which I don't even speak at all, so it had subtitles.

I've had a few lucid dreams, but none have been on purpose. They are usually pretty stupid.

 

[Eli13]

Seriously, i still don't get it. Too much LDS? Is he saying he had too much of a type of religion?
