Lucid Dreaming is consciously being aware within your dream. When you are dreaming and you become conscious that you are dreaming you can start to control your dreams and the direction they go in.
Lucid dreaming can help with recurring nightmares, solving creative problems, speaking with loved ones who have passed on, anxiety, and problem solving. It can be an exhilarating experience and the feeling of euphoria after your first few lucid dreams can last for days. <!–more–>
7 Steps to Start Lucid Dreaming
1. Remember your ordinary dreams.
A lot of people say ‘I don’t dream’, everybody dreams, whilst you may not remember them you still dream. To start remembering your dreams try this simple technique.
Each night before drifting off to sleep repeat the phrase ‘I will remember my dreams as soon as I wake up’. Say this phrase over and over until you fall asleep, after a few days you will start to remember your ordinary dreams.
2. Keep a dream journal
This can be tedious but it’s well worth the effort. Even writing a few short sentences about your dream is enough. This will get you into the habit of remembering your ordinary dreams and to start looking for dream signs within your dreams. It can also be a tool to analyze your thought processes.
3. Pick out dream signs
A lot of your ordinary dreams will have objects or people in them that could act as a cue to you waking up in your dreams. For example if you regularly talk to ‘Elvis’ in your ordinary dreams this is an obvious dream sign and can be used to ask yourself if you are dreaming because you know Elvis is dead.
4. Notice your waking world
To be conscious in your dream world means you have to be conscious in your waking world. That might sound crazy, as you are conscious when you are awake. However what I mean is ‘consciously focused’ . For example you are consciously focused when learning a new task, you are thinking about every action you are taking to get the right steps. When you have learned the new task you no longer have to focus as intently as you did when learning it. Being consciously focused means looking around you and saying what you see, feel, hear, smell and touch and voicing it. This has the added benefit of being in the moment and can help you to inner calmness, it’s almost zen like.
If you start to consciously focus on the world around you, you will carry this over into the dream world.
5. Ask yourself; ‘Am I dreaming?’
Ask yourself just now ‘Am I dreaming?’. Your obvious answer is to say no, of course you are not dreaming. How do you know? Don’t just say; because I know, try and think about why you are not dreaming. For example you could say if I was dreaming I would be able to fly. When you are dreaming you cannot read text for longer than a few seconds, so try reading text to prove to yourself you are not dreaming.
This again will carry over into your dreaming world and you will start asking the same questions in your dreams which can turn into a lucid dream.
6. Your first lucid dream
Many people have their first lucid dream simply by reading about it. You might find that you become over-excited and lose the lucid dream however, you first lucid dream will be remembered for years to come.
7. Staying lucid
I have used different techniques to stay within a dream however by far the best one is calming myself down with self talk and dream spinning. If you find that you are losing your lucidity you can talk to yourself to calm yourself down and just start noticing the things around you in your dream.
Dream spinning is when you feel you are losing control of your dream you mentally spin like a tornado to stay within your dream. This is focusing the mind on staying lucid.
Have you ever had a lucid dream? If you have why not tell us about it by leaving a comment.
Fun post. I especially like the dream spinning which I’ve never tried. I use lucid dreaming to get better at things, for example: martial arts techniques. I’ve found it works quite well (when my daughter doesn’t wake me up screaming) to use this state to “practice”:
http://www.refocuser.com/2009/07/5-steps-to-use-lucid-dreaming-to-improve-any-skill/
I’ve always had a very high ability to change the conditions in my dreams.
For instance, if I have a dream of war, or aliens invading, I can instantly dream up the weapon I need.
I used to have very vivid dreams, and they would often continue from night to night. Not as much anymore though.
I notice a dramatic increase in the amount and intensity of my dreams when I sleep with the electric blanket on.
I’ve never tried self talk to stay inside a lucid dream before, usually what I do is rub my hands together in my dream. Focusing on what my hands are feeling always keeps me in the dream. The problem with that, is if I stop then I tend to lose control of the dream and wake myself up.
Dreams are such a fascinating subject. Interesting post. Thanks.
I’ve had one that I an remember. I was VERY young.. maybe 8 or 9 years old.. But i remember it vividly to this day…. that was about 18 years ago.
There were giant bugs after me,, i tripped and fell. When I got up, I just said to myself.. “wait a minute, this is a drum.” I didn’t have complete control yet, but i knew what it was.
With enough effort, I was able to grow my body to be large enough to stomp the bugs. I woke up not long after that. I didn’t have enough time to do anything else once I was safe. I’ve been trying to lucid dream again every since.
Whenever I find myself in a lucid dream, I immediately start to fly. Because I know its a dream, and that’s the only way I’ll ever fly without a machine helping, I try to enjoy it as long as possible (normally, only for a minute or so), then I loose lucidity or wake up happy that I was able to fly again.
I have lucid dreams on a regular basis. One side effect that I notice is that some of the dream events tend to insert themselves into my memory in a way that I had been convinced that an event had happened when it never actually did.
that question are you dreaming. should be asked everyone hour in your waking time. that way you won’t forget to ask this when your dreaming you need to have something on a regular basis.
and if you can read for a time frame if you look back it wont’ be the same as well!
Being on a consistent sleep schedule really helps ease the process of developing lucidity.
A few other tricks I’ve learned are doing “reality checks” similar to the “Am I dreaming?” question. For example, every time you look at your feet, go through a door, or flip a light switch, pause and do a “reality check”. Once you learn your dream symbols (for me it’s seeing open or running water), then you can adjust your reality checks to coincide with your dream symbols. This is a GREAT way to jolt yourself into lucidity! :D
Have you ever had the dream where you’re trying to run, but your legs feel heavy or weak? That and other recurring dreams are good reality checkpoints as well. I agree with Frank, in that I love dream flying, especially after the heavy-legs recurring dream.
As a sidenote, a cool movie about dreaming is called “Waking Life”, by director Richard Linklater.
@Keith – We kind of lose the ability and inclination to remember our dreams as we get older, but with practice we can get it back.
@ben – That’s a strange one, maybe akin to having a fever or something like that.
@Seth – I think focus of any kind would help as in dream spinning you have to really focus for that and same goes with rubbing your hands.
@Erin – Thanks for you comments, I appreciate it.
@Andrew – Lucid dreaming is an aamzing way to get rid of recurring nightmares. I always dreamt of witches or invisible entitities chasing me and shooting through my body, very strange. When I was lucid in one of these dreams and I was being chased and scared out of my wits, I was running strangely as if I was floating a little and knew I was dreaming. I stopped running and turned to face this entity and it turned out to be a young boy looking very sad and scared – the nightmares stopped…….
@Frank – I love the flying dreams, it always leaves me with a euphoric feeling after I wake up and throughout the day. The way to get over losing luciduty is to dream spin. Imagine yourself spinning like a tornado up into the outer edges of it until you can fly again.
@Matt – Never had that except for something called false awakenings when you dream you get up and go about your normal routine, not quite a lucid dream but very vivid.
@pril – If you are serious about lucid dreaming I would say to do what you are suggesting, it definitely works.
@dome – That’s a great technique as well and one I’ve used when first starting out. Never had the heavy legs feeling and waking life was a great movie, strange but great if you’re into Lucid Dreaming.
Many, many lucid dreams! the first that I remember, probably 30 years ago.
The flying is the most fun.
Going to talk with my dead father, another.
Thank you for posting this.

A neuroscience friend and I have been exploring the idea of lucid dreams. It turns out that if you habitually test to see if you are dreaming while awake, you’ll continue to test it in your dream. Our idea was to try and fly. So a couple of times throughout the day (while I’m alone of course), I try to just jump into the air and fly away. Supposedly sooner or later I should try it in my dream and I’ll just float away.
That is usually a clear sign that you are dreaming, and you can ‘wake up’ within the dream, taking full control. Pretty cool stuff!
I have had lucid dreams, every night, since I was about 5. Always believed it meant I was crazy until my college professor explained to me what it was.
@Matt – I have the exact same side effect. They feel like real memories. I often have trouble distinguishing certain interaction in dreams from those in real life.
I’ve only been lucid once in a dream. I have two roommates and I was walking down an alley with one of them. I was feeling kind of pissed off because he was drunk and belligerent. However, one of the times I looked back at him, he turned into my other roommate and I noticed this, so I thought “Am I dreaming?”
At this point, I saw a puddle and decided to test if I was dreaming by sitting in it. So I sat down in the puddle and when I didn’t wake up I started panicking like “Oh my God, I’m sitting in a puddle and I’m not dreaming! What am I going to do?!”
And that’s when I woke up, kind of startled.
Ben – I’ve found the exact same thing.
Interesting post.
My lucid dreams are triggered by an interesting idea or problem that keeps me in a semi-sleep state. I have had all kinds of weird dreams. They have helped me find items I lost, solved problems I have been having, and many other interesting things.
I have even come up with several detailed plots for horror movies. I hope that doesn’t mean I am crazy. :-)
At the start of the year I was questioning reality constantly, so I had many lucid dreams. It became a force of habit: in my dream world I would try pinching myself or reading signs to see if everything acted the same as in the real world. If the result was false, I would then be dreaming lucidly.
Up until I moved into a travel trailer in the back of my parents’ yard last month, most of my dreams, lucid or not, would begin with me waking up in my bedroom, putting on my jeans, and walking around the house. Often my Dad would be on the computer just as he is in real life and I’d tell him I’m going for a walk. Then I might go outside, where my yard looked almost the same as in real life. The houses close by looked the same, but when I’d walk down the street, everything would be different. I suppose that is because those locations are less ingrained in my consciousness.
Now, my dreams are all over the place. Different locations, unknown locations, different people. I haven’t had a lucid dream in a month, and it was in my house again. I couldn’t control the environment which was very disconcerting. Toward the end of my previous lucid dreaming period, I could float through the air. It is a nice sensation which feels different from swimming. I also didn’t have to get dressed, because I could just snap my fingers, blink my eyes, and intend it with my thoughts Then I would be wearing good clothes. That isn’t working for me now.
Whenever a lucid dream starts ending, I get tunnel vision and my hearing fades away, just as it does when I’m falling asleep. If I want to prolong the dream, I start spinning in circles like a little kid while touching my tongue to the roof of my mouth. Always works, though I can’t prolong my stay in the virtual reality for more than a few minutes.
Sometimes after the dream ends and I awaken, I keep my eyes closed and don’t move a muscle. I feel my eyeballs continuing to vibrate and I’m over-heated, as if my body can’t regulate it’s temperature. Am I still in REM mode? Once, I went back into a lucid dream, but normally it just ends after a few minutes of being still, and I get up.
i have dreams where bad things are happening and i know i’m dreaming but i cant make myself wake up. this is often combined with sleep paralysis, and its really scary :(
to say that the way to maintain lucidity is to dream spin, and that in dreams you can only read text for a few seconds is shortsighted, just as the notion from “waking life” that flipping a light switch and having nothing happen is always a dream symbol. i have found it to be more often than not, and i often have trouble reading text or digital readout in dreams, but each persons individual experiences are entirely their own. for me i usually can recognize i am dreaming if a tornado or a wild bear appears in my dreams, but to say that is the case for everyone would be silly.

I’ve “woken up” more than once, but I always want to continue with mY dream. They’re so interesting.
One thing that really struck me was – asking myself – am i dreaming? How do I prove it? And I realised that for a few seconds I was actually in doubt whether I was dreaming or not! By seeing that I could not pass my finger through my laptop screen do what I might I concluded I was not dreaming. This technique is simply awesome.

Steven, this is a great nuts and bolts article about lucid dreaming. I particularly like your call to “notice the waking world” which is often the step that is missed. Because if we aren’t lucid in our waking life, we won’t be in our dreams either! My favorite reality check is to notice I’m aware everytime I go through a doorway. Now I try to notice it everytime I go through a “threshold” too such as a break in the trees, or through a tunnel when driving. It’s been very effective for lucidity as a dreamsign.

I’m only 13, and I usually remember my dreams as soon as I wake up.

I had my first lucid dream in a very long time last night. I recently was tested for pyroluria and started treatment; one of the symptoms of pyroluria is an inability to remember dreams. I hadn’t remembered dreams for years. If you don’t remember your dreams even with the proper focus, google pyroluria and see if you fit the profile. It is fairly common but not well known, and it won’t be found via a blood test. The test is a very delicate urine test, and must be done by an expert lab.

This is an excellent overview of lucid dreaming – well done! Help spread the word http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com – dream control is within everyone’s reach :)
My experience has been similar though I never knew about lucid dreaming until I read this post. My lucid dreams have been about being able to breathe underwater when swimming, instead of flying. After the first one I kind of thought I could still breathe underwater when I was awake, remembering the method I used. The dream reoccurs now and then, and if I think about it all, it really seems that at some point I have definately taken a breath under water when wide awake!! So the memories from the dreams are firmly embedded and entwined in reality for me. I wish!!

Lucid dreaming is somthing i have tryed to do for years..trying to control my dreams..
i finally achieved it and seems now i cant sleep properly without medication..
because i stay conscious in my dreams and i never get any rest…half awake half asleep..be careful what you wish for
Sometimes I am aware I am dreaming.I can dream up guns but they have limited ammo. I have no idea how to fix this. Sometimes I NEED to dream up a weapon fast but nothing works. I can dream up a bazooka but fires very slowly but is very hard to dodge for some reason lol.

Amazing! I don’t know if it was just the fact that I was reading this post and all of the comments RIGHT before I went to bed last night, but I had my first (intended) lucid dream last night! I went to bed with intentions of having one and I did.
I remember (because I wrote it down) EXACTLY how I realized I was dreaming and took control. I was trying to make a phone call to my girlfriend and my phone started laughing at me and making strange noises… I though to myself, “This cannot be happening; I’ve GOT to be dreaming.” I don’t remember the transition, but I then remember flying! Not arms-flapping flying, but like a jet. Weird. haha. Awesome! Hopefully I’ll be able to do it again, but STAY in the lucid state.
Like the Tips! I’ve had lucid dreams most of my life, and fortunately early-on realized you can somewhat control. So Interesting, an altered reality only limited by our imagination. And sometimes you see things you didn’t think you imagined, fascinating :: Evernote.com is great for cataloging, you can keyword and group, track. Or for reoccurrings. Also, foods before bed increase potential, popcorn, spicies, foods w/effects (,of course). ::
Our daughter died a few weeks ago, at almost 8 months of age. I’ll keep an eye on my dreams now for the future, thanks!
I don’t have a lucid dream often, just about once or twice a month.
i heart JB
Great article! Another way of becoming lucid involves the Castaneda technique of finding your hands in the dream state. That is how I started on the path of lucid dreaming. You can read the basic technique at http://dreaminglucid.com/fivetechniques.html
Last time I had one was a year and a half ago. I make myself a car, and then tried to wake myself up within the dream (stupid me). Now I know how rare these dreams are, and am hoping to have another soon.
Well, I’m 14 now and when i was 13 I remember me being in a dream right in front of my lawn and I simply said “Wait, I’m dreaming” And I tried to fly and i couldn’t unfortunately i was so excited i started to act in… wich is to play along with the dream… But I think it was an astral projection because i remember reading that when u first astral project u can’t go far… but idk
My first lucid dream involved a battle of a recurring dream: falling. As I was falling, I tensed my face and closed my eyes and “summoned” an enormous pillow to softly catch me. At that point I was flying around on it, and was able to summon anything or anyone at will with the same method: tensing my face and closing my eyes, and thinking of it.
I had a lot of them but they are always so weird. Like once I had a Harry Potter theme but I was riding a broom in the middle of a bamboo forrest then all of a sudden I wish the bambbo would go away cuzz I can’t see where I am flying and they sart to burn. Now I am in a cavern huge circle like with cracks. And on top of the cavern is a Castle a costomised hogwards with stone dragons. And I’m standing on a giant chess board talking to a warewolf….LOL weird.
Are you sure your not watching Harry Potter too much?
Your mind is subconsciously viewing time as slower than it should be. Somewhere in your mind you think it’d be cooler to shoot a bazooka in slow motion, so you do. Guns aren’t terribly cool in slow motion because there’s no climax, explosion, etc. The reason they’re low on ammo is because your mind is conflicting with how it views time passing; it’s saying to itself, “these guns should have a clip that lasts this long, because no gun fires for a mintue straight” (unless chain fed, obviously).
I used to have lucid dreams almost regularly as a child. For example, walking down a street I would realize I was in a dream and go into a toy store and take all the toys I want. Another example was jumping off a huge roller-coaster and fly in the air because I knew it was a dream, jumping off of high buildings and mountain cliffs and flying in the air.
I’m now 30 and when I remember these dreams…they are absolutely incredible and I will never forget them. Of course as a kid I did not know of the phenomena called Lucid dreaming…I just had them.
I would love so much to experience them again…..Also an important question I have is why did I have these lucid dreams as a kid?? I have this feeling that as a kid you are so mentally relaxed and free with an incredible imagination that for some reason you are capable of lucid dreaming.
He didn’t say it was definite. Maybe you should stop trying to play devil’s advocate and actually ThInK some more. It’s typical in dreams…not everybody HAS to experience this….
I find that when writing in a dream journal it’s best to write it in present tense…
It should be the first thing you do when waking up and written as it comes to you as if it’s happening right then.
This helps you recall more of your dreams as well as to create lengthier, more vivid dream recollections when practiced on a regular basis.

I was driving a pick-up truck and I realized, no-one has a pick-up like this. Thats when I noticed I was dreaming, so then, I decided to change where I was going. I went to this beautiful house on a hill, and I had children there (i decided) and my boyfriend was there. It was a huge house, and I was playing a game by changing where the doors were in the house. Thats as deep into it as I became.
I once had a lucid dream when I was 10 and I knew right from the start of my dream that it was a dream. I practically forced myself into the dream. It was really easy, and I actually remember every single little detail, even when I was starting to fall asleep! It was an amazing experience. In my dream, I was in a water park pool and over top of the pool was plastic covering like to keep the sun out. It was full of leaves and bugs but when I went under water (which is what I had entered the dream for) I could breathe the water as oxygen! Shortly after that, it was hard to stay so I eventually woke up, but found it extremely easy to enter the dream consciously again just by concentrating on it. So I re-entered the dream and the water was clear this time. I also find it easier to get back into a dream immediately after waking up. That happened three or four times in a row. I’m now 13 and I remember it as clear as day, but I just can’t remember how I did it, because it’s not working the same anymore. But it might be just because my mind has grown and it isn’t the same. I suggest using different techniques almost every night so that your mind doesn’t change from that state and it takes you forever just to get back in there. The surprise was that I have never heard of it before, it was as easy as pie, AND that it was my first time trying that EVER. I hadn’t even practiced. And I’m NOT joking. Wish you all good luck with your practices/trip things. :)
i never forget my lucid dreams, i always make my dreams lucid however i ALMOST NEVER dream anymore… and i actually believe god or just my brain do not want to allow me to do it anymore
I had a lucid dream not to long ago. Atleast I think it was. Im 13.
In my dream I was sitting in class and I was telling myself I’m dreaming like I new it was happenening. So me and my 13 year old mind the first thing I did was but short shorts on this chick and make her ass perfect. I know it seems perverted but, I’ll never forget my first somewhat controlled dream. Btw before I went to sleep I was reeling my self to lucid dream so. Idk if that helped or not.

I had my first Lucid Dream last night and it was AMAZING although I got too excited and felt everything start to fade away so it started to spin but it was too late and I woke up :(
Well yesterday I had a dream where I had powers and I really don’t remember all of it but I had powers and I needed like a thunder power so I found it and I grabbed it and I was trying to pull it out but then I realised I woke up and I was grabbing my brothers pillow lol I was doing things on real life while dreaming.
Actually I unintentionally had one where I could fly I started thinking in the dream that I wish I could fly then suddenly I jumped really high then I flew.., I doubt I could do it again though to be honest
Sorry, there seems to be a lot of people here confusing dream control with lucid dreams.
This is a lucid dream right here, right now…but your not in control
this is bed advise
How is this bad advice?
It’s so strange… My lucid dreams feel so realistic (Even the one while flying in the air) I can sense everything around, I can smell them and I can feel them.
I can never tell when I’m dreaming, no matter how crazy it is… but when I do have these amazing dreams I can never forget them.Ugh! I wish I could just flip a switch that forces me to have a lucid dream >_>
I have had a few lucid dreams that were extremely vivid but one stands out in my mind. I dreamed I was a DBZ character and I was immensely powerful and I could fly and was very quick and could shoot ki blast and I was never fatigued. I felt omnipotent and it was very cool. I think I was in the third grade. That was the most intense thing ever experienced and I would probably do a lot to have it again. I was watching myself in the third person and controlling myself in the third person IT WAS INSANE!
Sorry watching myself in the third person and controlling myself in the first person
Im 13 and i had a dream i got laid by a sexy babe
yea & thats y it will only happen in ur dreams!
OOHH BURN!!
Snip Snap.
Every time I Lucid dream I subconsciously run on all four, I go as fast as a car sometimes if I feel like it! It’s AWESOME!!
I have yet to try lucid dreaming but I came onto this post by accident when trying to figure out why it is that in all my dreams where I am running, whether it is being chased or I just need to get somewhere, I start off running with my feet but then bend over and run on all fours. I make huge leaps and sometimes grab walls or poles to propel myself forward even more . What are signs that I am already lucid dreaming ? All my dreams are soo vivid and real and I can often use all of my senses. I remember how I feel, the temperature, sound, sight, and sometimes taste and smell. I tend to remember most of my dreams and when I wake up I’ll make my bf who is very sleepy listen to everything that just happened in my dream lol. My dreams are soo vivid that often times I can’t tell if I am dreaming and I think everything is just completely real until I wake up. Other times I may wake up from my dream and think I am awake only to actually still be dreaming. I’ve had all of these types of dreams for as long as I can remember. Any one have any input ?
Thats really weird lol, because I do the same thing. It feels smoother when you run on all four, and its much faster. I wonder what that’d be like if I tried it in real life with shoes to protect my hands
I’m only 13, but I used to always have Lucid Dreams. Well, that’s mainly why I’m looking things up like this. I stopped remembering my dreams awhile ago. Which is sad to say. I used to like Dreaming. I haven’t even had a /NIGHTMARE/ in years! I only rarely remember my Dreams now. And when I do dream, I find myself unable to control my actions, or the things around me. Only ONCE in my life have I ever gained the ability to fly in one of my Dreams, but once I took my feet off the ground, my eyes shot open. And that was maybe when I was 8. Still actively Dreaming…Anyways, I brought myself into this search for better Dreaming after watching that Anime Movie, “Paprika.” It’s about Dreaming, and I just thought it would be so amazing, Falling asleep, and awaking in a Dream, where you’re someone else, and everything around you is just…another world. Oh, how I miss Dreaming….
eat cheese and cherries before you go to bed or take vitamin b6 before you go to bed and question if you are actually in reality, eating before bed awakes your mind and usually lets you remember your dreams
cool story bro
i had two lucid dreams within each other. i woke up and was in my living room and had a conversation with my roommates(which were at work during this time) then i walked in to the kitchen an made some food shortly after i went back to laying down on the couch to take a nap and i awoke again on the couch this time someone was trying to break my sliding glass door… I laid there for about a minute and then i stood up and looked at him and it was some demon looking guy and i immediately knew i was dreaming. Then I hit him through the glass with what could be described as an invisible chi blast and he went flying then i walked through my front or without opening it and walked around out front of my house for a few minutes then returned to the couch laid back down and woke up for real .
Luception!!!
like you advise on keeping the lucid dream going. I struggle some times to maintain lucidity of the dream. As you suggest as well its important to also engage your dream environment. If you see things look at the detail (as you say notice them). Pick them up look at them. Speak to dream characters arround you. If you see a tree hug the tree. etc.
one day i thought i was going to dream when i decided to go to sleep, when i finally did i found myself in a dream were i knew i was dreaming. For some reason in the middle of this short dream i panicked knowing i wasn’t awake, panicking more and more i struggled but managed to wake myself up. Freaked me out at first and my heart was pacing, was this a lucid dream and the over-excitement you wrote about?
Lol!!
I’ve had signs of Lucid dreaming signs for years, but I always woke up when I saw that I was dreaming. However, the past couple weeks i researched what controlling your dreams was called.. found out that it was called “lucid dreaming”. I read a few techniques and a few nights later I had my first Lucid Dream. I was on a beach with two random people and we were surfing, and all the sudden it hit me… “this is a dream”.. as soon as that thought came to my head the background started to morph and everything was collapsing and soon enough I was in an enormous room. to my left was a replication of myself that was violently spinning out of control, and I said to myself “its okay it is only a dream” as soon as I said this, everything was stil and I was free to walk around the room. Knowing that I was in control of everything, the first thing I wanted to do was talk to my subconscious as I read on the Internet you can do. Sure enough as I thought of this, at the end of a hallway out of a doorway, walked a replication of myself. I knew this was my subconscious instantly, and I walked over to myself and gave myself a hug. We then proceeded to walk through the house where I got to ask myself some serious questions I wanted to know about myself. This was so unique and it made me feel really good about myself afterwards. Also my subconscious showed me a TV screen ehich was playing a frightful motion picture on it. I asked my subconscious what this was, and he replied saying… “this is a dream you have been having every night since you were a child”… several minutes passed and I got to do some great things while Lucid… but its been almost a week, and I have not been able to make myself Lucid dream since, cant wait til my next time though!
i dont think you can “Make” yourself do it. Just go along with the flow and expect it to happen you know. I meditate and try to become aware to the fact that as I sit criss crossed on my pillow people all across the world are moving. Jets are flying dolphins are swimming lions are chasing prey, babies are born, people are dying and then, just to know that your the only you. Everytime i do this I lucid dream about 7 lucid dreams in a row my friend
4 sum odd reason i can tell when im dreaming i can see and all that but i cant hear or smell
(atleast i dont remember hearing or smelling) but my biggest problem is that i cant move my body (i actually think i do but i dont remember moving when i wake up) moves on its own as if it panicked about something another thing if sum 1 can help me with this is that when i go to sleep i want to dream but i cant i just remember every thing black im thinking be cuz of my eyes closed can any1 help???
I had quite a few lucid dreams before but i couldnt seem to control it properly. As soon as I realized that it was simply a dream, I felt more energetic and I only had a few seconds to think or do what I want(wake up). Well you see, I have this habit of biting or peeling my nails and I notice that I dont seem to have them in my dreams. That was my way of notifying myself that I’m dreaming.
I’m 14 and a few days ago i was introduced to the wrold of lucid dreaming. i wanted to try it for my self. so, throughout the day i kept saying to myself “am i dreaming” that night nothing happened apart from a normal dream and wrote it down. Next day, i said the same thing but looking at my watch, nothing happened and wrote it down. I will try the techniques but can anyone give some advice please for a novice. And one last thing, if these techniques do work, would i need to do them every time i wanted to enter a lucid dream or what? thanks
have you started lucid dreaming yet?
ive had my first lucid dream before i even knew it was even called that. the thing that worries me is that when i had it, near the end i looked in the mirror and suddenly my mind started changing my appearance like i almost couldnt control it anymore. my eyes turned black and i started opening my mouth yelling like a demon almost. It felt very weird..
okkk, so i just had this dream in which i was at a hardware store with my cousin, it was a very small store, and the owner of the store was the cashier, and when my cousin was paying whatever she bought, the owner told me, are you stupid or what? and i was like whats wrong with you, and my cousin pointed out there was a 400 dollars coin haha, on a rack,and the owner said i had to pick it up. so i was like no u pick it up, then he called me dumb and other names, haha i got so mad,my cousin grabbed the coin and we started running.. we noticed that this guy was following us, and i told my cousin , come onnn keep running, we were tired. soo we kept running and we got to this elementary school, and we didnt know which way to go, and there were two guys standing there, so one of them said to the other one, heyy isnt that jenny , and so i heard that and me and my cousin stopped,he was asking me, do you remember me? i said no i don’t know you, and he said i went to elementary school with u, then all of a sudden i woke up in the dream and said, oh this is a dream, and maybe i remember this guy, yeahh we went to shcool together then like i got back in the dream and the guy told us ok you have to go this way, and you are gonna get to a bridge, be careful, because its a dangerous bridge, and he offered himself to go with us, so we told him yeahh we would rather go with someone… so we got to the bridge and i realized that somehow i knew that guy liked me and so when we got to the bridge, there was no bridge at all, it was like a small swamp or something like that , it was green and there were hungry crocodiles, and so i found myself sitting on a staircase and this guy was hugging me from behind and told me, give me a kiss, and i was like noooo,,, and then he stole a kiss from me, i told him why did you do that and i laughed , and he told me now we are gonna swim to get across, i was like are yoou crazy, those crocodiles are gonna eat us, and he said nooo, we will swim faster ,by that time my cousin had disappear from the dream and i was thinking why am i dreaming this? and then i appeared in a room in which there was a men shirt and shoes, and that guy was getting dressed for something special, and i said yeahh this dream must be real because i know those shoes and that shirt and i have them in my house and i noticed the dream was collapsing and i said , i dont want to wake up because i wanted to find out more about this weird dream butttt i woke up ,, i went to the kitchen, grabbed something to drink, walked around the house, looked out the window, i was totally awake, and i got back to my bed, fell asleep again, and kept dreaming …. its all weird to me, because its not the first time that happens…. please if you have any explanation feel free to comment!!! thanks!!!! sorry i know its a lot to read!! :)

I am new to lucid dreaming. I had my first lucid dream a few months ago. It was amazing because my brain instantly for some reason knew that I was dreaming like it snapped right into my thoughts. I instantly began to actually have a nightmare lucid dream as I was in my old high school cafeteria and it was filled with students as if it were a normal school day. The moment I had the revelation that i was dreaming I began to notice everyone in the room staring at me as if there were looking at me like I figure out the secret that I was dreaming and they turned on me. I instantly got excited and got up to walk but I stumbled and fell to my hands and knees and at that instant I began to melt into the floor. As I was disolving into the floor I began to notice the detailed patterns in the floor just as it was in the real world. In that last few seconds the world around me began to melt with me and I awoke with that dream burned into my brain as if it were a real life situation. It was a breath taking and a revolutionary experience for me. However I did not give it much thought because I figured that I would never be able to experience and control my dreams. Now however, I am starting to research it and am now starting to take the steps necessary to control my dreams. I feel that lucid dreaming will be the key for me to unlock parts of my consciousness that I never thought possible. I am determined to control my dreams now. Wish me luck!!!
good luck. I have hada similar experience with dream like entities pretending to be someone I know. Too creepy.
Does it take many days to experience lucid dreams?
Having lucid and very vivid dreams has been a real life “nightmare” for me. I can smell and feel in my dreams. I wish it would stop because it goes on all night for me. When I get scared I wake myself up by opening my eyes wide in my dream but when I fall back asleep I’m in the same dream. I can usually turn it into a less frightening dream but it goes on and on. I miss the days when I can fall asleep everything goes black and I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to go. Now I never get a restful night sleep because I never feel like I’m sleeping. I always wake up tired. I don’t know why anyone would want to start lucid dreaming. Too much dream sleep is actually not good for you, I am missing out on my much needed delta sleep. I wish I could go back to not remembering my dreams.
I lucid dream all the time!!! & remember my dreams very vividly.. I always wake up scared or confused or sad crying or hurt!! Last night i had a dream i was like part of a labyrynth trying to get home & a lot of time i knew i was dreaming but ican easily forget & than remind myself no Jackie ur dreaming just wakeup !!! & than ill fall back into dream state and say omg im so far from home how will i get back & than realize well in a dream u can do anything so i put my hands over my face & picture home & im there & wake up!! IT happens also when a dream is soooo scary like almost every single dream i am getting attacked by an animal, cat or dog, alligator,snake,cooger, & wen im about to die i make myself wake up and sometimes wen i do die i wake up instantly. What if lucid dreams just make u believe u can do what u want ???
well just dream you are ur favorite super hero or fighter and then magically solve your problems, that’s what i did when i was (p.s i was a super saiyen)
i havent had a lucid dream yet but im hoping to have one any tips?
I’ve had probably over a dozen lucid dreams since about the age of 14 and I’ve always been fascinated by their power and what potential they may possess. I have, since about 3 or 4 dreams ago made the resolve to actively focus on what can be achieved within them and I want to start discovering more possibilities, including the solution to some enduring problems I’ve had academically and intellectually throughout my life. I have no idea whether or not this is possible or if much can actually be achieved with them. Ever since making the resolve, though, I have managed with varying degrees of effectiveness to stay in them and concentrate on doing particular things in terms of manipulating my surroundings or flying from one place to another. Whatever I try or do is entirely conscious, but the forms of it are not necessarily the best for unlocking the power of lucid dreaming. I notice what is said about “reading” in lucid dreams,… I have not necessarily “read,” at all, but there seems to be something about the practical inclinations one has when in the waking world that simply are not possible within a lucid dream. I have been known to be fascinated by the surroundings I know to be artificial when consciously dreaming so that I will attempt looking closely at an object or a wall. This seems to be counter-productive. Looking too “closely” at things with spatial proximity just seems to risk collapsing the entire world of the dream. “Focusing” on something “up close” simply limits ones field of vision and produces an effect similar to what one sees when they get too close to a TV screen or monitor,… one is trying to view the texture of an object and instead gets pixels, … for lucid dreaming there is no apt parallel, but one finds they are definitely searching for something that is not there.
I believe if I want to realize the actual potential of these dreams in the most profound terms they can offer for betterment I need to get past my immediate inclination to look at them like a befuddled scientist “within” a new world, and instead focus my energies on something far deeper like one another reader stated,… such as “talking” to my subconscious, if that’s one way of putting something without being presumptuous about the constitution of mind, body and soul. I don’t want to “talk” to my subconscious, per say, but I definitely do want to probe deeper into a practice within the dreaming that may show me from inside the experience itself WHAT exactly the potential is and HOW it can be used, and if it is practical to use something like this at all in the first place. I believe the first goal is to actively trigger lucid dreaming, instead of finding myself within them that once in a while time when my sleep schedule is off kilter or some other irregularity has disrupted my normal sleeping patterns. To make lucid dreaming a normal occurrence alone would be one way to increase the amount of practice I could have.
Can yoou plz read up on my lucid dream posted above and give me some feedback EvanW; im fairly new to lucid dreaming and just had 4 in a row in one days sleep and it has me really freaked out.
i had a lucid dream wen i was 7….but i couldnt focus enough to fly correctly………..
Lucid Dreaming is sleep paralysis. It is also connected to OBE. People actually suffer sleep paralysis and cant wake up they know there dreaming in the middle of a catastrophic terrorizing nightmare. These figures you see in sleep paraylsis (Lucid Dreaming) are not hallucinations these are “Shadows” just like connected to astral projection and these “Shadows” try to enter or posses your body to take control. This leads to dementia and mental serious issues. These are staged and trapped evil spirits. Attempt with warning!
Read my post above in the newestposts part….I had an experience that sort of fits that to a a tee but I dont believe in exorcism or that sort of stuff but im open minded so that could have been a spirit trying to mess with me. Not sure what to think.
Unfortunately, I haven’t…yet. I hope I will have one soon. The problem is that I can’t find my dream sign – while I’m dreaming can’t become lucid. I started to write my dreams down in my dream journal from March 7th. I read somewhere that Binaural Beats help if you want to expirience a lucid dream, but I didn’t find them helpful. I also downloaded a podcast which is like 10 minutes and it says only “The next time I’m dreaming I will be alised that I’m dreaming…Am I dreaming? Is this a dream?”. When I listened to those things I couldn’t remember my dreams, so I stopped. Today was the first day since I stoped listening and I couldn’t remember much of my dream, I remember only the last dream perhaps. I hope to expirience lucid dream soon :)
I know someone who experienced lucid dream, he told me twas just this morning around 2:30am(Philippines time), he forced himself to sleep and then it just started he saw his body sleeping, he said. Well, while typing this I was confused if it is really the lucid dream or the OBE(out of the body experience) thing?
Hello. I learned about lucid dreaming for 3 days ago, i had my first lucid dream within 48 hours but i got way to excited and woke myself up. And ive read that i can experience very scary obe’s from lucid dreams. Such as i will experience that i will see demons and gost and stuffs and that i will be parylized while this is going on. Do anyone know if this will happen to me if i keep having lucid dreams because that s**t realy freaks me out. Answer as soon as possible please :) Thanks
i think i have been lucid dreaming for years but idk how to figure out like i feel i can control it

“Hello Dr Gboco! You were my last hope and after all the spellcasters I tried before, you were my last chance, and you kept your promise! My wife wrote me such a touching letter last week! She wants to live with me and the kids again! I really feel I’m living again! Thank you for making all this possible!” gbocotemple@yahoo.com
i did but i was trying to bring a hot girl in my dream but i couldn’t. why?
I had a dream once. I was in Tokyo sleeping on my futon. I dreamed I was in Toronto on Avenue Rd. I was with some men younger than I was. We wanted to eat in a restaurant. But which one? We started to argue about which one.
Suddenly, I realized it was a dream. I said to them: “Wait! This is a dream. I’m not in Toronto. I’m in Tokyo sleeping on the tatami mat right now. All of you are a figment of my sleeping imagination!”
At this point, one of them said to me: “Is that so? Well I’m in Chicago, dreaming I’m in Toronto, talking to YOU.”
I looked at him aghast. He was regarding me cooly. He was taller than me, with shoulder length hair, unshaven, and a long dark wool coat.
Then I woke up.

I had a dream I was going on a trip or something with a male friend and a female was there that I could not see her face. We were standing in line at the airport and there was a fish tank full of snakes and frogs. It was a pet shop of sorts. I like snakes and so does my male friend. I chose two small ones that seemed to be entwined. It was strange because when they started to seem like they were getting irritated i was able to turn them into a kitten. but that did not work and while i was holding them they both bit me. I thought I was fine but my hand started to swell and I started to bleed a little. I was getting dizzy and confused as well. My male friend kept trying to help me but could not. We tried to find the snakes but they had disappear either back in the tank or hidden somewhere. What does this mean?
I kind of figured out how to do this on my own as a kid. I think I was watching Blues Clues with my brother and they were talking about how you could have complete control over your dreams. I don’t actively practice but I’ve developed the ability to keep myself from having nightmares.
Whenever I know the dream is about to get scary, I literally see a pause sign and then the rewind sign, the dream rewinds and I think, “No it’s not happening this way, it’s going to happen this way.” Then the dream goes onto a more pleasant topic. If this doesn’t work I’ll stop and think, I don’t want to dream about this- then I wake myself up.
Which is a huge blessing because I used to have horrible nightmares that left me sleeping in my room with all the lights on. I think it would be a valuable thing to teach kids who have nightmares that if they do it right they have the power to nip the nightmare at the bud.
I do have a very vivid imagination and have always have had a wild imagination. So maybe I’m just naturally gifted in controlling my subconscious?
Im 14 and ive only barely lucid dreamed. I would be dreaming, wake up, go to bed again and sorta influence the dream, but Ive never really done anything fancy. My mom or my alarm would wake me up and they were barely lucid. Id always try to see if i was in a dream, and itd fade into awakeness with me reading something or Id realize im dreaming and try to make things happen and id always awaken. tonight is the first night im goign to straight up try to lucid dream.
I hope someone reads this because this had to be one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me. I literrally woke up the next day feeling God like. Well I’m in this strange dream world (to trippy to describe) but I find myself standing on two feet and then I realize !!! I’m dreaming aren’t I… then i say “Swag!” which is something that I would do in the actual world… which means that i was lucid. So anyways I instantly imagine myself flying and WAHLAH as if i were on some sort of tight wire i go up. Then look out onto this world which could only be described as a mixture between day and night and a forest a jungle a beach and a mantion/ freeway. Off pure will power I began to sore through my sky, and saw a big pool of water, which had the water of a lake but the shape of a pool. I then flew down into the pool splashing the beautiful black women sitting next to it :| I then woke up.
I have those un-consically for ex. last night I was walking throughout my house and i went through my sisters room and eneded up in a parrallel area between my and her room but for some reason the lights in the rooms wouldnt turn on and i remember I walked down the stair case and oicked up my fone and it said 2:32 it was sooo weird and in another dream i knw i was dreaming there was a beach with a gate at the end and i tried to call my firnd (its weird if you ever have had your fone in your dream and you try and anc call somone and nothing happens) but i can read text my fathers mother was able to make preminitions idk if i can but my cousin megan thinks i can lol and anyway I yeah. Now that im thinking so hard trying to remember these things i can but i drream in color ppl think its rare if you do but ive always thought everone did lol
People dream in black in white? That sounds odder than dreaming in color haha. I have the same thing when I lucid dream I dont controll my surroundings like others i’ve read about but its like im fully coherent in a dream state. I dont have these very often though.
I am 15 and i have heard people say they are a regular lucid dreamer, or they experience lucid dreams. I had no clue what that meant so i looked it up and found details on it, to find out that I may have touched up with a lucid dream and i didnt even know it..
My grandfather passed away a few years ago and i remember having a dream that i was talking to him about a situation that was actually happening at the time in real life. It wasnt very long and not very detailed but i think it was a brush with a lucid dream that if i had known how to enter a lucid dream i could of at the time.
No one cares how old you are, I am 14.
At least his comment had some interesting content. Yours just consisted of an insult. Try to be a little kinder to those around you; it’ll make you feel good :)

I had one lucid dream before a few months ago, I realised i was dreaming and stood on the table. i jumped and tried to fly, but I sort of moved forward while in the air at like 1mph! I then got too exited and woke up :(
I have been able to lucid dream as far back as I can remember. The earliest age I could remember was 6 and I was at my grandmothers jumping on the trampoline and I asked her what time it was and I said oh I have to wake up so I can watch my cartoons lmao. Ever since then I always knew when I was dreaming and I could wake myself up from the dream. I am 25 years old now and I had a lucid dream last night. I had just got done flying and I was talking with my spirit guide in my dream and I said I wish I could fly in the real world like in here. My spirit guide laughed and said I’m sure many others would like that to. But that is my story ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
I had my first lucid dream when I was nine. I didn’t even know what is lucid dream that time. It happened so often that I became scared to sleep and sometimes it came to reality. like one time, I dream of a two tribe raising and whoever wins will have the power to govern an island. then in a mountain there’s lot of dead people.. I was so scared when I woke up. after a week there was a breaking news. Lots of people had been massacre because of power. Election conflict in one of the province in my country.. while watching the news, I remember the dream. It was really the same place..
It took me about 2 months of practice to start becoming aware that I am dreaming. Dont expect just to go to sleed in fall into a lucid dream. The way I know im dreaming is I see my friends in my dreams and thats when I know.
I’m 12 and i have been researching Astral projection, and lucid dreaming, i write info down on paper as if i was explaining it to myslef. I actually found out bout this a week ago by my 22 year old brother who showed me SPIRIT SCIENCE…. Instead of trying to lucid dream for my own needs and wants, im doing it to understand this concept, and go back to millions of years ago to gain th knowledge we were meant to have but lost overtime, such as the third eye.
I’ve been gaining higher consciousness lately and i have actually awoken my third eye. Its very fascinating.
and you are 12?!?! I have faith in humanity now. Thank god man!!!!! I’m 23 and I thought the younger generation was lost for sure, it’s really cool that your into this stuff. I wish I had known about all this when I was 12, would’ve saved me a ton of pain.
I have been contemplating lucid dreaming for a while now. I’m 13 and wouldn’t mind seeking deeper meaning to my actions in my head.. That is after I’m done flying and recreating Megan fox. Still, the third eye interests me as I generally find it hard to be spritual
most of the times. I managed to weave a dream between a video game style aspect and I real life aspect in my first attempt at lucid dreaming. Any tips?
I am a lucid dreamer. I discovered that just by knowing I was dreaming, I could change the course of my dream. Or, after having been woken to use the toilet, I could go back to sleep and continue where I left off. Mostly my dreams are frightful, like going for a walk on a sunny day and telling myself that I should be careful since this was a dangerous place. The moment I finished that thought the street would become dark and deserted and out of little shadows came guys with knifes to attack me. I even felt the knife slash my hand as I tried to grab it.
One of my recurrent dreams is that of falling, or slipping off a cliff or bridge. While when I was young I would wake up then, in later years, I would tell myself that this is a dream and I should let go. That I knew perfectly well, that nothing bad was going to happen. This did not always work, since I then fell all the way and felt the landing as very painful. Dream after falling dream I told myself it was a dream but many times I thought it was real and real fear got me in the grip, thinking this time your fear of height is justified. This time you are not safe in bed. To direct my dreams worked best when I initiated a bad situation, whereas a beautiful dream disappeared before I could fully enjoy it.

This is definitely worth trying out. It would be an interesting way to put some ideas to the test. Ideas meaning manipulating elements, becoming another creature, etc. You know, all that important stuff.
/??Do you vomit when you lucid dream
I am the only one in my family who has lucid dreams. I once had a dream within a dream while lucid dreaming. the first dream started out in a place that made me think of an old little church. I walked into a locker room and saw a boy. (clothed). he didnt really notice me. Then more boys show up. Then so does my younger sister was 15 at the time. And I suddenly realize its all a dream and i try to tell her but she just looks at me. Then i wake up in another dream and im in a car with my mom and sister. And i tell them of my previous dream where i knew i was dreaming. then i wake up for real!
YO dawg , i heard you like lucid dreams , so i put a lucid dream in your lucid dream while lucid dreaming in the lucid dream
and thats how inception was made!
I’ve been experiencing wake initiated lucid dreaming almost daily since sustaining a head injury 4 years ago. It can be frustrating because sometimes I just need to go to sleep and I can’t. I wish I could find more research on head injury + lucid dreaming.
16 did it after first day then couldnt do it again , i did the light switch thing , the light switch turned on but it looked weird (mobile and colory) like viewing it from an old tv the first thing i did is try to inception , i ended up taking lenords place from the bigbang theory and try to have sex with penny but it failed miserbly as sheldon knew i was an imposter then i just returned to my own bed from fear (still in my dream) and monsters started spawning at that point (i imagined them comming from the bigbang ) then i completly lost control as they turned into acquaintances and i saved a dazzle in disstress for some reason , then we settled a truce and i woke up
When i realize im in a dream i try to wake up but my body is paralyzed, so i keep trying to wake up using the little jump you get when you hit the floor in a regular dream, but sometimes i have dreams that i woke up.
Well when I lucid dream i usually walk around, but sometimes i turn into a werewolf and get chased by villagers. But then usually i die and wake up
I just had an insane series of lucid dreams just now and im kinda freaked out, but it was only part lucid. I was watching a movie in my house like something i’d normally be doing and then I realized the movie I was watching didn’t exist. I started remembering I had just gone to sleep so I thought i’d explore my dream. It was like being fully awake in a dream but I didnt try to willfully control anything but im not sure I would of been able to(more on that later) so I walked outside my house into my neighborhood when my friend who had died about a year ago approahes me and we have a fairly normal convo “Hey man havent seen you in awhile how’ve you been etc”, on the way back to my house; we walk down my drive way and into my garage when the lucid dreams turns into a kind of lucid nightmare. I realize he has been dead a year now so I say “You know you are dead right? Is this like you reaching out, what it the afterlife like?”, this is when he gets quiet and looks away from me. I ask him again and then I notice he hasnt said anything definitively like himself. Just very generic so far. I ask him if he misses savanah (his sister) and nothing. I got the strong impression this wasnt actually win so I grab him by the shoulders making him face me and say “Your not win who are you?”, and his eyes ball’s iris’s go from being normal round ones to slit like lizard iris’s. Then I wake up. I then look at my phone and realize I had only been sleeping for about 2 hours and go back to sleep. Wake up fuly coherent in another lucid dream in a different style house than mine. To confirm im dreaming I walk over and punch a mirror and break it and theres no pain so I know im dreaming so I break some stuff in the house and then start to feel scared remembering the first dream so I focus really hard on my body in bed and try to wake up. Then I thought I woke up….it felt exactly real like I was waking up back in my bed but I realized again I was still dreaming and this got me even more scared like I was caught in a series of dreams and I felt like this was somehow the impersonator of my friends fault as crazy as it sounds. This was even odder because I have only had about 2 lucid dreams my whole life but in them I could controll things like in one I flew and in one I changed things colors but in this one I was fully rational yet trapped at the same time. I actually woke up a few times between the parts waking up in empty house type situations and in total I had 4 back to back today and like I said i have only had 2 in my life. Kinda freaked out right now anyone have any thoughts?
I had 3 lucid dreams since now,but in the first one someone told me it’s a dream..and in the rest of them i don’t know how but i realized by myself,the promblem is that i can’t do that everyday,i can’t even think in my dreams,i can’t control them at all
this is sucky for me, but ever since i looked up lucid dreaming i havent had a dream i could remember very well. the dream journal definately helped me regain my dreaming memory though. now i just have to work on my insomnia……………… (-.-)
I had my first lucid dream yesterday. it started when i was fallin in my dream, i always fall in my dreams but this time while i was falling and i could see the flooring getting closer i told myself it a dream and not to wake up when i hit the floor. I keep reapting to myself. Finally when i hit floor, i could actually feel like a absorbed its like i tranfers to a new world. I started to walk and then i saw a old friend, this is where i lost control and it started to go fuzz and eventually woke up.
Its my first time to have lucid dreams last night. that same night i started to learn how to lucid dream. ive watched some vids on YT for more tutorials. then more likely this is the first time that im excited to sleep. so i meditate and suddenly my eyes kept doing this UP & DOWN thingy and my body temp. is rising it started on my ears. (WEIRD) so in summary i knew that i was already dreaming when the roller coaster im on is going to a RUSH mode something, then I asked my self “AM I DREAMING”. do the ritual reality checks. I WENT CRAZY!!! ohh then i started to ask where is OLIVIA WILDE. then we started to make out. BEST DREAM EVER!!! LOL
I have remembered my dreams my whole life.. I have always had a small amount of control to my dreams but they are usually very quick. Everything seems to happen right before i wake up, some instances are longer then others. I have had many many good dreams and many many bad ones. I was very interested in learning to control my dreams more mainly, to be honest, because i didn’t grow up in the best of ways. A lot of drugs, alcohol, and abuse around me that pops up frequently in my dreams. I myself never did did anything wrong, but being put through other peoples mistakes and wrong doings can sometimes leave much more of a scar. So if anyone grew up like i did the only thing i can say to help you if your interested in lucid dreaming is be prepared to face the things that your scared of. Those horrible things that you went through that like to randomly “pop up” in your mind for no reason will pop up in your dreams to. The objective is to recognize that its a dream and be able to steer it in a better direction so these things don’t bother you as much when your awake. You’ll start to find that when something bad pops into your head you can dismiss it faster then you could before. Your mind will stop dwelling on things. The only bad side effect i have found to this approach is if you’ve built an emotional wall your whole life because of the bad things you’ve gone through you will start feeling indifferent to a lot of things. Its nothing to worry about if you keep it in mind and do everything properly, but you don’t want to act like an uncaring ass, pardon my language, to people who don’t deserve it. Just like anything in life you have to find a good balance. That’s about all i can say about lucid dreaming since i haven’t mastered control myself, but i guess you can say i was lucky enough to be born with the ability to know i am dreaming almost every night. The hard part is keeping yourself asleep! lol…good luck out there hope my comment helps someone.
hi can someone help me. a couple of weeks ago I figured out I was dreaming.and I did a bunch of awesome things but then I got bored and I saw one of my old friends so I flew up to him and we started talking I had no idea what he was talking about but then I told him I was dreaming and that you just apart of my brain waves and then his face started deforming and I was hearing wispers and they were getting louder and louder and the it turned into very scary loud screams and my frinds face was like a black hole and it was just sittin there screaming and stuff and then I woke up but it wont stop evertime I go to sleep it finds me and wispers and its scarry and then it just screams in every dream like one time I totally forgot about it and when I fell asleep it still found me
I’ve been lucid dreaming for quite a while now, but I always fall short from achieving total consciousness in my dream and being fully aware that I am myself, not someone else or a character from a show (last time I had a lucid dream I thought that I was Paige Matthews from Charmed)
I had my first lucid dream a while ago, and it was so good I almost cried when I woke up. It started with a purple street with purple houses and orange smoke coming out each chimney. At first, I wasn’t aware I was dreaming, but when I saw my grandmother walking out of a house, I knew that I was dreaming. I suspect this is because the same day, I visited her grave. The next thing that happened was that I walked down the street (which I decided to keep purple :P) to an ordinary looking beach, where my girlfriend and my best friend had been sitting talking. My girlfriend is blind IRL, but here she could see me, which I was ecstatic about. My best friend, who had been going through some rough things recently and as a result we ended up falling out, walked up to me and we hugged it out big time. I asked him what was wrong, and while he obviously revealed nothing specific, he mentioned that he felt alone and worthless. We three walked along the sunset beach, talking about school and work and life, and I sorted some things out with myself IRL. We got up to a pier where a hovercraft was awaiting us, and we drove around the water and beach, and man was it fun! Eventually, by accident, the water and sand melted away without my notice and when we had done there was a solid grey floor with a white sky over the horizon. We all hugged and I was wondering what I wanted to do next, but alas, my time in the dream world was up, and I woke. The next day I met my best friend and we made up. I reminded my girlfriend just how much I appreciated her, blind or not. Lucid dreams absolutely f*cking rock!
i am yet to try an experement where ima wright on my arms saying “reality” so when im dreaming and i look at my arms i wont see it their and that will be a dream sign
my first lucid dream, I knew I was dreaming, so I got scared and told myself to wake up. So I did, but it was a false awakening into the worst nightmare of my life.
I had an experience once where I passed a mirror and then my reflection looked at me judgmentally. She kept asking me a whole bunch of philosophical questions about my friends and my life in general before punching me and trying to put a wine bottle through my eye. I was so terrified I kicked forward as hard as I could and woke myself up. Since then I haven’t tried.
I had a lucid dream that I was swimming in a tunnel putting some type of puzzle pieces together towards the end. When I realized I was lucid in my dream I thought I was gonna wake up but I didnt
One time, I’d fallen asleep and believed that I’d woken up the instant afterwards. Sometimes that happens. As soon as I fall asleep, I wake up. However, after a while, I’d realized that certain things were not where they usually were in my house, or rather… Where they never were. For example, I doubt that I would actually have a toilet on the ceiling. Anyway, as I went to the kitchen, I was wondering what it would be like to be someone famous. This did not work out as I planned. I took one bite of my breakfast, A simple bowl of frosted flakes, before a mob of people started breaking into my house cheering my name. Feeling scared, I instantly started running to the bathroom. Mobbed or not, having people around is better than being all alone in a dream. As the bathroom began to become infiltrated, I concentrated as hard as I could and fell back, going through the wall. After landing on the other side, I darted away from the people who’d been chasing me, and jumped off a car into the sky. For a while, I began to fly, but as I began to doubt myself, that disappeared. I dropped to the ground, shocked to see that I was alive. Then I began running.
Next thing I know, I’m in a car heading towards a tree. Everybody else somehow makes it out of the car via doorway before I can, and the car explodes upon impact. As I float in a state of stasis, I look upon my unconcious, possibly dead, body claiming that I cannot be dead. After that, a flash of light occurred, and I found myself in a new world. The world was animated, and I had no clue what was going on. I felt like I was in a cartoon or a video game, which was precisely correct. As I became skeptical, my view changed to that of third person, watching another person playing a gameboy advance with me as the main character. That wasn’t all though. Side by side, there were an endless amount of this person. Switching back and forth between male and female with the same general template. Brown hair, brown eyes, light skin, white clothes. All of them were sitting in a cloud-like area playing gameboy advance. Each of them were controlling a different character. At this point, I woke up screaming that I was not a video game character. I even went agnostic for a while, and constantly took life as a serious of endless choices. Of course, I don’t believe that life is a game, but if you look at it that way for a second, with all the possible outcomes, it may very well be.
I had a lucid dream and I got excited about it because I knew I could do anything. Then I lost control and woke up all depressed and got ready for my day. Which ended up with me somehow winning a gun fight in my school with no gun? Then I realized that I was still dreaming and lucid dreaming at that because every thing had happend how I wanted with just a little bit of a twist. Then I got excited again and woke up for real
I h
I only had one lucid dream that i can remember in my life. My bedroom was light. All the sudden my frieds come in and then he got stabbed. I was 13 at that timem but i was still a tough boy back then. Never had nightmares for years before the age of 13. So when my friend got stabbed.. i all the suddem knew i was dreaming just another stupid dream. For some reason when i relized i was dreaming. The murderer dissipeard. And my friend was alive. All that in only 3 secounds. So i went outside my door and started flying. I was like : shit ! Im flying. My life is now complete succsess. Then i got so excited, that i just woke up
I’m 13 and I havnt had a lucid dream yet but I really want to. Any tips ( without a dream journal cuz I always forget to write in mine.)
I couldnt find my first comment so I dOnt know if it’s still on or not if not then please write back about how I can have a lucid dream fast without a dream journal. Thanks
This really wasnt much of a lucid dream n im not sure what it is called but i was laying down and night and challenged myself to sit up without using any muscles. difficult at first but somehow i started sitting up. wondered how that was possible and felt like i slammed back down onto the bed like someone had pushed and pulled me back at the same time. did the same thing again a few weeks later but got off the bed walked through my window after that i dont remember
I have had out of body experiences and lucid dreams. My last lucid dream was a few nights ago. I sometimes have them by accident but the other night i decided to try to make myself lucid and it worked. I just went to sleep normally and waited to wake up, remembering my ordinary dream as i lay there ready to go back to sleep. i kept saying in my head ‘ am i dreaming?’ and the strangest thing happened which i think is a brilliant trigger that might work for some of you. there’s a song by livin’ joy called ‘ dreamer ‘. listen to it on youtube. during the chorus the singer shouts ‘ am i dreaming ‘. for some reason i think me saying to myself ‘ am i dreaming’ constantly before dropping off to sleep made my sub concious remember the vocal from that tune because in my dream i suddenly heard her singing ‘ am i dreaming ‘ and that made me ask myself ‘ am i dreaming’ and of course i was! after that i had full control of my dream for what felt like three or four minutes. during the dream i saw what looked like a man on fire violently shaking everywhere which disturbed me and i felt myself saying ‘ wake up ‘ to stop it BUT for some reason i remembered the spinning trick and i span on the spot which made the flaming man dissapear and allowed me to carry on lucid dreaming for a little while before suddenly the edge of my dream world began to turn into my bedroom walls around me and then i was awake. if you’re struggling to lucid dream try my trick. 1 listen to that song ‘ livin joy dreamer ‘ and try to get the ‘ am i dreaming ‘ bit stuck in your mind 2 go to sleep as normal and when you wake up remember your dream, ask yourself ‘ am i dreaming ‘ and hear that vocal from the song in your mind. 3 go back to sleep and see if you can hear that song playing in your dream.. if you can you will lucid dream because the song asks the lucid dreamers golden question for you… ‘ am i dreaming ‘ goodluck!
i used to have those dreams when i was at least like 7. but i only had like 3 of them that burned to my memory. but they are fun to recall except for the one where my dad was chasing me with a knife and trapped me in a small room at the bottom of the stairs and pressed a button which released carnavors to eat me, then i realized i was dreaming and everything froze so i thought about pinching myself and it actually worked. that one sucked, i guess i only lucid dreamed for the last bit of that one. oh and has anybody had a dream that recurs like once every few years or months??? because i do and now they are the only ones i remember when i dream, which is rare. and they are kinda scary, mostly about my dad. do you think these could be memories that my brain blocked off? because when i ask my brothers they look at me like i’m insane…
ive never had a lucid dream i have an online journal is that ok?
When I was in the fourth grade I had a perfect lucid dream, I mean I was in complete control. I was walking though my neighborhood with my brother and I was just like explosion, waved my hand at tr house next to me and it blew up I could even make people appear if I wanted appear, it was so fun, I’ve been trying to get another one since then.
I had lucid dreams when I was younger. The first one went like this: I was walking back from school with my bestfriend and suddenly I realized that I was dreaming. Then I told him (my bestfriend) that “THIS IS A DREAM!” and he denied it and then we argued along the way. At last, I was enraged and shouted to him “THIS IS A DREAM AND I’M GOING TO PROVE IT BY OPENING MY EYES!”.
O_____O’ I woke up and it was morning. As I grew up, I tried to enjoy every moment in the lucid dream – slowly. I make the rain fall, and float :D It was damn awesome!
I have only had one lucid dream that I remember which was a few years ago…
Here it goes… (Back then this scared the hell out of me) I was in my old house and the green goblin, super man, spider man, flying squirrels, a wizard, and batman. So me and the good guys were in the house when the bad guys attacked! In there was a ak-47. But then I realized I was dreaming so I said to them “Guys, I’m not dying, I’m just going to end this dream!” so i run up to the green goblin and he rides on top of me and my face gets sucked into his flying vehicle thing and I wake up.
I think I had one but it was scary… I was trying to get a soda machine but I went into a room it was dark and the door dissapeared and a shoe from the ground touched my leg and I felt it then I woke up after walking around for 5-10 min.
I had few times, but only the first one (5 years ago) was so real and amazing, sadly, never managed to get to this state again. In my dream I was walking with my childhood friend and talking, when suddenly I realised, that I am dreaming, my head started spinning from this excitemenet and my friend understood that somehing has changed in me. I pretended that nothing has happened and just listened what she was saying. I was so happy that I am conscious, so I started to sing and dance, almost fly. For me a big help was C.Castaneda's technique in the dream to find your hands.
Thank you for this article, reminding me of the amazing feeling, must try again :)
Anything is possible! legit, try a few simple steps and you can accomplish that. look at my last post. But, it is just nuts and you will be able to fly

A few times, once when I was having a nightmare and the rest of the times, I was getting into a lucid dream since I realized I could lucid dream inside my dream but I kept on getting to excited and you're supposed to keep calm otherwise you wake up which happened to me. I was able to successfully do it twice, once during a nightmare (as I said before) and once but I didn't really get anywhere, I was flying but then I got really amazed and I woke up. I'll try to keep a dream journal, I tried once before but I'm bad at it.
The best thing in the world is the realization of knowing that something is not just quite right and that you're dreaming.
Too much becomes possible in these situations. The best advice is to ask your self at ties during the day if you're dreaming ((only in your head of course or you will sound like an idiot) I would do it every time I walk through a door way it is best to look around and see if you can notice anything strange. If you do, well just run with it and anything can be possible.
I had a dream a few years ago where I knew that I was dreaming, but I remembered that earlier on that day a friend told me that you can die in your dreams so I was freaking out and I was trying really hard to wake up then did. But my best and favorite dream that I can remember is where I met John Lennon and actually talked to him for about 10 minutes.
I had a lucid dream that started as a dream were I was drugged for a year by the asians that live across the street from my I hit one in the face with a stick, then get into a car which someone that goes to my school was driving we get out of the car and I realize Hey I'm have a lucid dream! Then I tell the driver go over there and he does. And then I wanted to get something and within the excitement of it actually happening I woke up.
I had a lucid dream once where I am running through a field full of beautiful blue flowers with only the moonlight to guide me. Suddenly I feel a shift in my mind as I ask myself, "Am I dreaming?" I realize I'm dreaming and suddenly everything pulls into focus. Immediately after this however the scene starts to blur out, a sure sign that I'm getting thrown out of the dream. I remember how to stay in my dream and I start spinning in circles. The blurring stops and I view the landscape in wonder. I crouch down and look at the blades of grass softly waving in the slight breeze. They are still a little bit fuzzy so I concentrate and cry, "Clarity!" Immediately everything becomes crystal clear. I can see every single blade of grass and every fiber of each of the flowers. I think to myself, "I really like rainy days. I'm going to make it rain." I look up at the night sky shimmering with stars and yell, "Rain!" I feel several thousand rain drops spatter on me as my thoughts are granted.
And that's when I woke up. :( It was so much fun and I would love to have that kind of dream again! Hopefully this article will help! c:
I started training myself to have lucid dreams a long time ago and all I can say is practice makes perfect. now I have them almost every night and can keep the lucid dream going all night. its so fun being in an alternate reality knowing you can literally get away with anything with no consciousnesses. my last lucid dream I ran around school topless because I knew it was merely a dream and it would be funny. the one before that, I lucid dreamed I was flying then threw a girl off a balcony killing her as she hit the cement stories below and when everyone gasped in awe I simply brought her back to life. lucid dreaming ftw!
. . . . . . .See I'd be afraid cause I'm one of those people who get into that am i awake or asleep moments. and I'll be the person walking outside my house with no clothes on talking to dogs. >_> lol.
LMFAOOOOO I BUSTED OUT LAUGHING1!!!! XD
I have lucid dreams for years now and not even knowing it was a real thing. I thought I was crazy when I told people I can control myself in my dreams and do whatever I want. Now that I know I'm not the only one I want to perfect this skill so I can have them whenever
