Do you have lucid dreams?

He comes from the future and he's trying to fit in. He means "LSD" but he doesn't remember it that well so he says "LDS" instead. Presumably Kirk isn't that much of a historian...

I think. Maybe he was complaining about the way the forcefields in his socks failed, or something. :rolleyes:
 
Oh. See I didn't really get the scene, mostly because I never saw that movie. Lol, I wonder whats going through thats ladies mind.
 
I've had a few lucid dreams, but never done anything much in them. The revelation that I'm dreaming tends to be quite shocking, and I wake up.
 
I had once had a dream that I'd been selected to go into space on Discovery...then I got to the launch pad to check in, and there were only two people there chatting with each other, neither of whom had a clue what anything was!

I once had a dream or two about experimental long-duration transfers between our Moon and Saturn's moon Titan. And on the way back it from the Saturnian system, there were over-detailed plots of Mars and Jupiter rendezvous'. All very strange and disjointed. I do know know the purpose of what the hell was going on. This all happened in some sort of turbocharged LM Apollo/Grumman style. And all the planets were like medium-res graphics with a lot of NTSC artifacting going on..!?!?!?! But yet it was real!

In another instance I dreamed I was aboard a shuttle launch. And this new shuttle as a mix between a Soyuz capsule stretched out like an egg and yet square-ish inside like a shuttle cockpit arrangement. I think I was an optional special-guest onboard this mission or something. And the whole shuttle stack opened and folded shut like a monster-sized book, somehow. Anyways at launch time there was an abort due to something with engines or something. And I woke up then because I didn't feel like waiting a whole week for another try at a launch.

The best aerospace-style dream I can recall would be flying along in the cargo bay of a B-52. But everything was posh like a foamy hotel room. And of course the B-52 was carrying something like an X-15. And the purpose of this was to do exactly what you'd expect, a bunch of sub-orbital hops. And this was different only in that it was commercialized. And everything was in storm-night purple and night-vision-hud green. Elements of orbiter seemed to be here and there like the displays and some sounds and the out of the cockpit views. The cockpit view was hugely panoramic and wide, much wider inside than outside (like a tardis cruise-ship setup or something). The scenery was like a dim blue and purple and green mountain range in front and a flat plain full of funnels behind and below us. There was nobody on board except me and some girl. Most everything was automated, but I found out that I could easily get manual control, but I left it on autopilot mostly. About half-way out we were ordered to launch the X-15 style plane, empty.. And then return to base.

I dreamed I was flying through space. I had the magical power to do speeds well above Warp-9 (Star Trek nomenclature). I was basically looking around trying to find my way home. I flew over hundreds of thousands galaxies; most of them were spiral shaped. Nothing was above me though. They seemed to be packed close together along a single plane. My flightpath was tilted at that sort of camera angle you see directors use when they want to indicate an alternate reality. I became pretty terrified when I couldn't find anything that looked familiar. None of the galaxies were recognizable. I spotted a few Neptune style planets and gave them cursory glances. I woke up when the immense speed blurred everything and I realized I was truly lost somewhere sometime in the universe.

I have a whole ton of short stories and imagery descriptions, but I shall stick to the tech and Orbiter-style ones for sake of maintaining the theme of the Forum.

I've had only 1 dream about Orbiter: My friend was commenting it and I saw TransX. He told: Łukasz has planned his trip to Jupiter very economically and good:D

hey, is it possible to have ld's every night: I just go sleep and I've a Ld?
 
The only space related one that i can remember was me in neil armstrong's shoes. Like from beginning to end. I'm sure a few things were different, but i said things almost exactly like he did. Strangely enough, it was before I found out about AMSO.
 
To answer the original question. No, i don'r have lucid dreams.
But whenever i have them... my dreams are lucid!
 
Far too often here... And sometimes they are so vivid it affects me for the rest of the day...

Usually it happens when i oversleep, which is far too common for us who suffer from sleep cycle disorders... But if I can manage to wake up at a decent hour, the dreams don't usually get lucid enough to be disturbing...

Strangely enough, they're not what one would call nightmares... They're just very strange, and at the time, they feel very disturbing... But whenever I tell people about them, it just sounds weird, and I get strange looks from people ;)

Today, for instance, is one of those days... Had a really weird and disturbing dream, and even though it's now 4pm, I'm still a little weirded out about it...

Cheers
 
Do I have lucid dreams:: no.
And as strange as it may sound I don't have dreams that often... I only have one dream a week... When I do have dreams they are horribly complex and are often mixed with reality causing me to wake up thinking it was real...
 
Upon waking you feel like surfing on an ocean of vaseline while you come back from the other side - from dreamland to reality.
 
I usually don't remember my dreams well, only space related dream I have had recently that I remember a bit was something about launching bunch of ICBM's
 
Here's a real simple way to get some lucid dreaming going. No complicated step-by-step procedures or anything. Just have a little grilled cheese sandwich and some m&m's before bedtime.

Anyways, a simple adventure -- there's more detail, but, these are my preliminary notes upon waking. I figured I'd get the gist of it down in text before I forget the whole thing.


This is a dark moon exploration dream. I had a dream where I was on a geology and training field trip, sort of. And it was also survival training and general moon-acclimatization. We arrived at the moon in either our 70’s Lincoln or Grand Prix cars. And we were each assigned to a sub-surface cave like area. The caves were two parts, one was a large box size enclosure about the size of a big airport terminal. It was all flat grey/silver colored and the sides and tops were all rock. The flooring was rock too, of course, and had plenty of sand and tiny rocks in it. This area was excavated by some kind of Squart-M bomb. Square and smart. When blown off it made a square explosion that made the huge cavern have its shape. I don’t recall if the cavern was pressurized with a normal atmosphere or not. I don’t think it was. And then there was the smaller one, about the size of 5 bathroom stalls. This was like a vestibule or waiting room or entranceway. It was of the same rocky construction as the big one. I assumed this was where I was supposed to put my backpack and stuff. There was a small doorway connecting both rooms. And the small one was in-front of the large one. Both caverns were just below the regolith. And everything was amazingly well lighted. Even being inside the small one made me feel all isolated and cut off from everything else. Despite other team members being only miles away in their caves, getting organized too. You’d swear you’re the only one in town (or on the moon). It was pretty cool though. And opening the door to the big huge one was like beginning a magic exploration. I wasn’t sure what to do here though.

Never had lucid dreams...even "normal" dreams I remember very very rarely, not more than a couple of times a month, and when I do they're just weird. Not disturbing or anything, indeed most of the times they're about everyday matters, but with some details varying from reality...such as someone that is shorter than me in RL being a bit taller and so on.
 
Tell us some stories! I'm just now proofing a couple more short (1 paragraff) stories.
 
I have vivid dreams. It took ages to work out how they where occouring, but I always have very realistic dreams and feel an emotional sensation when I awaken. A residue of the dream.
I find haveing the windows open in the winter months, when your room can get really cold helps alot. I go to bed and keep all of my body warm, under a 15 tog duvet. I have my left arm naked and exosed from the duvet and fall asleep. I do get scary dreams from this and sometimes remember longer parts of the dream and regain that emotional sensation.
I think it's something to do with blood flow circulation. I thought about useing packed ice for the arm to see if my dreams became more intense but never got around to it.

Once I had a dream that was a documentary of Ronald Reagan and it was in 3rd person narrative and in jibberish and I understood what it was about. I had a 104 degree fever at the time.
