Hey all, I know this is kind of a weird topic and may even sound false to some, but I find it very interesting and it's all very methodical and that.

I thought it'd be cool to start a thread where we can discuss how to do things, or anyone's experiences for those interested.

I know it's not something for everyone, but some people might like to try it out.

Lucid Dreaming is basically coming to the realization that you are dreaming and you can learn to control it to basically do whatever you want.

Kind of the ultimate sandbox game, cept while you are asleep, to you it's real.

I recommend checking out the film Waking Life, it's about Lucid dreaming and offers a bunch of great things to think about.

Some tips to become lucid are to always do Reality Checks (RC's)
Some of them can be
Sticking your finger through your hand (In a dream it will go through)
Holding your nose and trying to breathe (In a dream you'll be able to breathe)
And thinking about how you got to where you are.
If you make RC'ing a habit and do it regularly then you could do it in your dream which will make you lucid.

I'm just learning about control now, but what I've read is that if you turn your back and imagine what you want to spawn behind you is there, when you turn around it will.

You should also keep a dream journal, this makes you remember your dreams better. I don't and I forget them a lot :P

Another thing to do is keep a look out for reoccurring characters or elements.
Something that happens in all of my dreams is that I lose my iPhone :P

It can be best done in the morning as well, it's all sciency and stuff but it's got to do with chemicals your body produces in the morning that makes you dream differently. So if you sleep in and drift in and out of sleep, that's the best time to have a crack at it.

I had my first ever lucid dream this morning. I was walking down K-Mart picking up Blurays to buy until I had this thought that it was a waste of time buying shit in my dreams (Which is something I do regularly) so then that made me RC.
I stuck my finger through my hand and my finger went through, then I held my nose and could still breathe.
Then I just went and bounced around lol, messing with gravity :P

Anyone here already had any Lucid experiences? Or anyone wanna try?

I know to some this is pretty lame, but think of all the things you could do! :P
Even though it isn't actually real, whilst your dreaming it's no different to reality :P

When I woke up this morning I was extremely tired and half asleep, so I thought I'd try and have a lucid dream. First time I fell asleep, as soon as I felt as if I was somewhere, I pinched my nose, and I could breathe through it. So as soon as I knew I had done it I was stupid and woke myself up. Went back to sleep, did the same test. Then this time my mind just ****** itself and blew up the world I was in. I was awake within 10 seconds...

I had a sweet one the other night. Since it's my dream I can alter it, just like the dream alteration in Inception. So I can alter the world and even turn my had into a giant hammer. Love those Lucid Dreams.

OK I haven't tried this yet but I'm going to tonight because everyone says it works. It can't be that easy, can it?

Sounds interesting but I'd rather just sleep and not think about it.

It just depends, after you have done it for a while, you know when your in a dream as soon as your in one. Like everything, it takes practise. Try do it in the morning, just as you have woken up, so your still half asleep. If you manage to get into a dream at that time, it's easier because you are still half conscious. As soon as you feel like you are somewhere, try the tests. ^_^

Interesting. I always wake up 30 or so minutes before I have to. My body clock kills me. I'm going to try it tomorrow morning.

Merchandise - Stuff for consumers you can actually purchase this time!

Further to my previous blog with the promo marketing stuff (i.e. crap I give away to help promote the name but didn't really expect people to buy) I've now started selling shirts/clothes.
