Honestly, when I was in high school, I had the most annoying series of dreams. It was very simple. I would wake up, walk out of my room, go to the bathroom, turn on the shower, and wake up again. My mum would say "come on, wake up, you've got to get ready for school", so I would get out of bed, head to the shower, and then I'd wake up again. In my bed. Get out of bed, leave my room, turn on the shower, BAM, immediately I'm in bed again. And there was nothing I could do about it. I had no good way of knowing whether or not I was dreaming, and I couldn't just stay in bed because I actually did have to get up for school. And then when I was actually awake, my parents would get pissed that I was being lazy and I'd try to tell them I've already gotten out of bed 3 times this morning but they didn't care. worst dreams of my life.

The thing I find most interesting about dreams is how real they can seem, even after you wake up. I once had an extremely vivid and lifelike dream in which my parents divorced, and I was so devastated by it, it felt like my world crumbled around me. When I woke up, it took at least a day or two to shake the feeling that my real life was just a dream, and that I was just trying to escape my life in which my parents werent together. Theres got to be a lot of deep-rooted fears in that one!

I spent a long time learning how to lucid dream, I found the best way is to constantly ask yourself if you’re in a dream during your normal day, then it becomes muscle memory and you ask yourself when you are dreaming. After that it’s just a case of learning how to not wake yourself up by accident

I guess this is kinda the opposite of a lucid dream but. When I was little, 5-7ish I guess, I used to play by the pond at the bottom of my garden a fair bit and then I stopped going down there at all, didn't go for years. A few times when I was a teenager, maybe once every couple years, I would remember about this pond and think boy it's been a while, I'm gonna go down there, but I could never find it. Which is the most unexplainable bit of this story because it wasn't a small pond. And after however many times of failing to find this pond in real life I decided it must have been a recurring dream, which didn't seem that unrealistic because it was the same sort of environment as some of my actual recurring dreams. Years later, I was 18 or so at this point, I was looking for my dad in the garden and I must've gone further afield than I usually did because suddenly there it was. I cannot describe how weird it was to know full well that you're not dreaming and to walk in on a scene that you were completely fully wholly convinced you had dreamt.

I was taught a different gateway into lucid dreaming. It involved a series of strategic alarms set to wake you mid REM sleep. You would write down what you were dreaming in a very short description and then lay down and go back to sleep and concentrate on the end of what you remembered in an attempt to continue the dream. Next phase involved slight steering of the narrative in order to affect/ control the dream. Last phase was a lot like your experience but you would concentrate on an idea of something you wanted to dream about. I got too good at it, in that it started to affect how much rest I'd get. Great topic, thank you for sharing and reminding me of that time in my life.

I think my worst dream was one where I worked at some kind of carnival, in charge of starting and stopping a ride. A couple approached me and asked me to put their baby on the ride. I don't know what type of ride it was, it wasn't visible from where I was standing. But this couple gave me this plastic bag with a goldfish sized human baby in it, swimming around, blowing bubbles under the water, a happy little thing. I agreed, the parents walked off, and I sent the baby into the ride. But when the ride was over, the baggie came back and the baby was just floating there lifeless. I jolted awake, and a couple years later I still feel awful about it.

Probably around the time Inception came out I got really interested by lucid dreaming. The thing that hooked me was trying to check books and see if the text is all garbled. The closest I got I was doing an open day tour at my school and I realised I must be in a dream because we were clopping around wearing water skis. Decided to go to the toilet hidden from view and to try to change something. I felt this incredible surge of power knowing I was fully lucid dreaming and NOTHING could stop me. So I tried to change something water skis still on my feet and nothin changed, no flying no teleporting. Damn. Guess it is real life. So I got back on with the open day tour. Facepalmed real hard after that one.

I've always had very vivid dreams and I do remember a lot of them. I think I sometimes know that I'm in a dream, but I don't really do anything with it. The only time when I can sometimes consciously use lucid dreaming is when I have nightmares. You know that feeling when the terrible part in your nightmare happens and you wake up? That's where I can sometimes go back to sleep, rewind that dream and let it have a different ending. A good one. And that is very useful.

Some interesting stuff! The 'seeing through your eyelids' is something I do quite often without trying; either just as simple as being able to see the room that I'm actually in from the 'wrong' orientation or position, to being able to visualise being somewhere else entirely. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it. In the last six months I haven't smoked weed at all after a period of 25-ish years of pretty much smoking daily. It's interesting how dreaming has really come back to me, to the point where I get sort of bored of all the dream scenarios occurring when I so much as close my eyes for a nap. It's been a revelation; all the people and places from my past in narratives that I can actually remember when I wake up. THC has a profound effect on REM sleep which means either dreaming doesn't occur, or can't be recalled when waking.

Achieving lucid dreaming is easy: after waking up in the morning, just go back to sleep (going to sleep way to early the previous will help with this). The difficulty lies in staying asleep while controlling what is happening. As soon as I try to manipulate the dream in any way I wake up.

By the time I heard about "lucid dreaming" I think it sorta already happened pretty often to me. I'd say about 1/3 - 1/4th of the dreams I'd remember growing up I'd end up lucid at some point. Then I'd try to fly or talk to someone or look around or do other things ._. *ahem* possibilities definitely endless lmao I looked into lucid dreaming a few years ago and decided to actually try it deliberately. The technique I used kinda freaked me out how it sounds so bullshit but worked on the wnd or 3rd try. Also just how instant it was. Like magic. To make it easier, you set a low volume/vibrate alarm for like halfway into your sleep cycle; to where if you woke up you could roll over and go back to sleep instantly. Alternatively you can try it when you first go to bed, just make sure you're tired. Lie on whatever side you prefer with your hand relaxed in front of you palm-down. Then take your index and middle finger and do slow alternating taps going up just a bit. Imagine you're playing two keys on a piano. Key is to start and get slower and slower while simultaneously raising your fingers even lower and tapping even slower and lighter. Do this to the point where it's almost as if you're just imagining that "move" command travel to your fingertips and they imagine themselves to do the last imaginarily microscopic taps instead of actually moving at all. If it works, within like 12 seconds, I shit you not, you'll be shot through a vortext. Idk how else to say. Just within the last breath I was on my bed, then *feeling* all of a sudden the walls are as if my room is underwater, I look up and sure enough little sharkies all around. I got out of bed and it's just ocean basically, so I want to go up and explore. As I started to swim up, a shark would come and bump me. Higher still, they'd come in quicker intervals and start nipping at me. I don't really remember getting to the top, but it hurt. I'm honestly scared to try lucid dreaming again. It was so crazy, like magical teleportation. Just woosh. And for the first moments everything is so goddamn perceivable and vivid even though you know you're dreaming. I don't want to WOOSH myself in front of a giant cthulu eyeball or some shit and scream lmao. TL;DR: Look up the finger wiggle method. It works. Like magic. Honestly freaky. Haven't tried it since then because it felt so powerful and surreal, like being shot from a vortex of life consciousness to dream consciousness. That vortex is probably what it feels like to die or something. Crazy cool and spooky lol

Think of it like the person who is trying to finish your sentences but always gets it wrong.

I've also had dreams that feel VERY real like in high school I dreamt my dad walked in holding my cat offering me a ride to school. I had one night recently where I kept getting up and tried to get out of my room. But it was like several several times but something would always let me know it was a dream like my TV was on my desk instead of the shelf or that I couldn't actually talk or the worst one was I was running to the door but my hand was just planted on the bed. I was trying to get it off but I could tell like from the "other side" so to speak that I was laying on my stomach with my arm under my head and that I was actually moving my shoulder a lot.

I learnt to lucid dream with a method that allows far less control. Basically i've gotten into the habit of occasionally just pushing my finger into my palm while im awake with the expectation it'll go right through, although i rarely do it anymore, anyway obviously it never went through but because it was something i did fairly frequently whilst i was awake i started doing it in my dreams too and when you do that in a dream your finger just goes right through your hand (which is a super weird feeling btw). When my finger went through i became aware i was dreaming and could suddenly control my actions + all the sensations became super intense as they tend to do when you lucid dream. However it came with an unfortunate side affect. You mentioned when things got too ridiculous and scary in nightmares as a kid you'd become aware of being in a dream, now when i got scared or things started becoming unrealistic id do the finger test and suddenly id know i was in a dream and start lucid dreaming. However as it was a nightmare i still wanted to wake up so i did only to realize it was in fact a 'false awakening' and i was still asleep (and often whatever nightmare scenario i was in was still happening). It became a habit that if i ever started lucid dreaming and tried to wake up, usually due to fear or anxiety, i would instead have a series of false awakenings, one after the other, getting more and more frustrated and scared each time i thought id woken up only to realize i was still trapped in my own dreams. Ive now had to train myself never to try and wake myself up whilst lucid dreaming or i'll be trapped in a series of more and more stressful false awakenings, the most false awakenings id ever gotten from one dream was numbering in the twenties whilst i had horrid nightmares about my family members trying to kill me. Thankfully i only seem to lucid dream when im napping or having a restless night, never in a full sleep cycle (i dont know if thats normal or not) and i have far less nightmares than i did as a kid so its not as bad is it could be but it is kinda annoying. I cant help wondering if your method would work better because you start by lucid dreaming so might be able to avoid situations that make you want to wake.

I've read that lucid dreaming is easier in the morning, after you've woken up and gone back to sleep, which is the only time I've been lucid. The strongest time, I got up real early, went to the hospital to visit a friend and fell asleep on a comfy chair in their room. It was so intense and quick that I was worried that a nurse might walk in and see me flailing my limbs around. I could simply open and close my eyes to go in and out of the dream.

This is something I've thought about a bit. Not enough to put in the effort you have but some. I also have been known to interpret other people's dreams, which is something I saw as more legitimate because of the Biblical examples. I'll come back to that. I used to have the flying dream constantly. There were two forms. One where I was skidding over ice, and got some air, and then just continued to ride forward without coming back down in the approriate and timely manner expected in real life. And then there would be a skateboard, although I've never owned a skateboard, and I would just replicate that dropping into a stance and riding above the ground for too long, and and in the dreams I'd be on my way to work or wherever normal, walking with the usual people, all that, but just every time there was that nice camber in the pavement, or a bit of a sloped down kerb, I'd do the stance and lift off and people would ignore me, like refusing to recognise this feat out of jealousy, and I'd do the unnecessarily long to come back down thing. Then it progressed to finding the right, fairly gently angle upwards so I could get over cars and low garden walls and gates, and then people and trees. And the trick was to be doing the cheeky refusing to come down in the appropropiate and timely manner while avoiding hitting anything or startling anyone, because you don't want to cause a traffic accident. That was to do with the idea of bus-surfing that some friends introduced me to, doing the stance in the gangway on the upper deck of the bus while avoiding holding on to anything as it went round corners and lurched in the way buses lurch, and it was also when I was doing a lot of cycling, which gives you some of a feeling of floating higher than other people, because the bicycle makes you taller, or mine did, because its huge. The second kind was where I started to be able to soar just by leaning forward the right way, which was direct flying. Other than that I find it impossible to control anything happening in my dreams, even when I know I'm dreaming, and I'm noticing the familiar being hunted pattern reasserting itself. Partly I'm just aware of the limitations of my imagination, so I find it hard to believe in whatever dreamscapes start to form, because I know I can't come up with anything all that detailed or unusual. When I go somewhere I haven't been, there's nothing much there, and no reason to stay. I would assume the path and willow tree dream was about adjusting to the fact that you weren't going to be able to take on life after school with the same ambition and ease as other people staying on the uni and fancy careers track, and giving yourself permission to instead take on life at your own pace, and better appreciating the beauty of who and where you were already. The door in your room thing is manifesting your self-doubt in your ability to control the dream by that point. Whatever you've been presribed so you can be this productive, I could really use. I'm halfway to a diagnosis now, which is progress. Could have come a hell of a long time ago, but whatevs. ADD probably. And I wouldn't have thought to ask if not for you, so, you're making a difference.

I noticed that no matter the dream I'm in recently I can give myself powers. Like I don't know it's a dream but if I'm being chased by someone in a nightmare I will slowly become more powerful until nothing is a threat. Starting with being able to unlock any door by holding my hand to it and ending with me being able to literally control reality. Not sure if asleep me is aware he's dreaming or just so narcissistic that of course it makes sense that he has god like powers.

Most of the time I've had a lucid dream it was right on the edge of it. Like I'd be more aware of what was going on, and I'd start to predict things happening and they'd happen, or I'd try to change something and it would change. But pretty much every time I've become aware I was dreaming, I woke up very shortly after. It's actually quite frustrating. But on the other hand, that low-level awareness of dreaming is probably part of why I basically don't have nightmares anymore. Like if I'm in a dream where something bad is happening, I can usually disconnect enough to not be terrified as I normally would be. The first time I noticed that was kind of the first time I'm aware of that I had a lucid dream. I was swimming underwater, and I realized I needed to breathe, but I couldn't sort out which way was up (nightmares about nearly drowning were, for some reason, somewhat common as a kid). But then I just sort of realized I could breathe, I didn't have to panic. Which led to me realizing it was a dream. Which led to me shooting up out of the water and flying around (flying is still one of the things I wish I could do most). And then I almost immediately woke up. And that's happened pretty much every time I've become aware of my dreaming, I wake up what feels like seconds later. I assume it's because my brain shifting gears to manipulate the dream pops it out of the right wavelength for dreaming and into the waking wavelength or something. It's pretty frustrating because I'd love to just have dreams be fully my domain and let me do whatever I wanted in them. But my dreams do tend to be pretty interesting and probably have stuff happen in them that I wouldn't try to imagine, so I guess it works out. Also the number of dreams I've woken up out of because I realized my eyes were closed and I needed to open them to see, only to then open my eyes in real life is way too high. It was seriously a trend for a bit when I was younger. One notable example is that I was dreaming I was in church with a bunch of my friends, and we were all just kind of hanging out around the sanctuary, maybe playing a game. And I realized my eyes were closed, but that I could see through them. But it wasn't quite as clear vision as I wanted, so I went to open them. Boom, opened eyes irl, fully awake. Also also it's funny because that "lay still, ignore the itch, etc." technique is one I've heard told to force lucid dreaming, as well as astral projection (which I think is why I tried it once upon a time. Though I didn't get as far you did with it. I stopped feeling my arms and legs against the covers but that was about it) and I've heard warnings that it can cause sleep paralysis instead. So I dunno what's the truth of it. Perhaps it varies from person to person. I have heard that keeping a dream journal can help. Presumably because if you notice repetitive aspects of dreams (like my common near-drowning, or that time when I had several "back to school" dreams in a row) it'll allow you to more quickly realize you're dreaming. It hasn't helped me much in that regard, as I tend to only put two and two together once I'm awake again. But it has been nice to just have the dreams written down to go over or share. Especially since some of them make for good story ideas that I should work on actually writing. Maybe I'll start posting my dream journals on social media or something 🤔

When I was younger I used to be able to wake myself up from nightmares. I never realised they were a dream until the point where the scariest thing was just about to happen and then I kind of just went "nope I'm done with this now, wakey time" and pulled myself out of it. Was always a lot of effort to wake up, it felt like I was desperately trying to force my eyes open. That's the closest I've ever got to lucid dreaming

The first somewhat lucid dream I can remember having was a nightmare. I was about 6 or 7 and in the dream standing in the living room and looking out the window. My dad was in the car outside either trying to back out the drive or had already and was driving somewhere but it was raining really heavily so he was skidding all over the place, basically unintentionally doing donuts. At first I thought it was funny and was laughing but then as it went in I got more and more scared and freaked out that my dad couldn't get control of the car. I don't know if I then realised it was a dream or just hoped it was a dream but I started to pinch myself to wake up and at first it didn't work which made it more frightening but then it did and I woke up. I remember another time having a nightmare and closing my eyes to stop seeing so etching scary but since it was a dream it didn't work. Also people find it weird when I mention that I frequently dream in third person.

I find it easier to lucid dream with a different method, you can just condition yourself to do reality checks in real life like checking the time or like pinching yourself in real life enough so that its something you might naturally do in a dream, and when you do it in a dream, you realise you are in a dream and then gradually can get more control of it as you do it more and more, but as you said once you start lucid dreaming you just start naturally becoming aware in that unconscious state more anyway

I think I have only ever lucid dreamed once, that I can remember anyway. I was in a nightmare, I can't remember what exactly was happening in the dream but it was terrifying, and I remember having that trying to run sensation where all your movements are foggy and slow but you feel like you should be going faster. As it was happening, I realised, "Oh, this is that feeling I get in a dream.. OH IM IN A DREAM." So I tried to wake myself up, straining my eyelids to open for about a minute, and then I was back in my bed and I knew I was awake. I wasted the ONLY time I ever managed to lucid dream because I was stuck in a nightmare XD

So is lucid dreaming kind of like the opposite of sleep paralysis? I never had a lucid dream but I sometimes get sleep paralysis, which also happens when I lie very still for a long time. During sleep paralysis, your body is asleep but your mind is not, so although you feel completely awake and aware you can't move. And I'm guessing when you're entering a lucid dream your mind is asleep (dreaming) but your body is not (you are not yet in "normal" sleep)? If anyone has experienced both, it would be super interesting to get a comparison!

@Craig 75 Thanks so much for your answer, that makes more sense! I only get sleep paralysis for a few minutes right before falling asleep, so when the brain stays awake instead of going into sleep or into dreaming. Strangely, I can never get out of it by falling asleep, I always have to wait until my body wakes up and then I can properly fall asleep. Yeah it can be scary but it's also interesting and understanding what's happening helps :)

i've also had sleep paralysis and i think they're more like different versions of the same thing than opposites? both are caused by your body releasing the hormones it uses to to paralyse your muscles so you don't act out your dreams, but accidentally continuing to do it / wrongly starting the process while your mind is still awake? the only difference is whether your brain is producing dream pictures really? but god, yeah sleep paralysis is horrific. x

Fascinating to hear your stories, and some of the comments too! I've never managed to lucid dream but I used to sleepwalk a lot when I was a teenager, and I frequently sleeptalk as well. When I was about 15 I stayed round a friend's house. We stopped up late watching Lost and learning guitar riffs from songs we liked. So we eventually head to sleep... I'm upstairs, on the floor, in a sleeping bag, door closed. I wake up a few hours later to my friend's stepdad saying "Luke mate, you should really go to Aaron's room and sleep in there." Confused, I open my eyes to find myself downstairs, on the sofa, STILL IN MY SLEEPING BAG! No idea how I got there but that could've been one hell of a trip, we're talking 20 stairs in a swift downward direction. I can't remember many sleeptalking instances, but I had a full-blown conversation with a friend I lived with about "Amy's inventory" (whatever that was...) My eyes were open apparently and he thought I was messing with him by talking absolute nonsense. The only thing I remember from that episode was being conscious at the EXACT moment he asked me "Luke, are you awake?" to which I condescendingly replied "yes, obviously." before becoming completely unconscious again. The products of sleeping are absolutely phenomenal!

Hey im glad I found this. Im anxious to share my experience with some one who understands what im saying. Anyways it's real, lucid dreaming started happening to me recently and it was by accident. I have a big bedroom with a grandfather clock it in. The clock has this long sequence of rings every hour. If those rings happened to go off as I was falling asleep i would hear it but it never sounded like the normal chimes. In that in between state it sounded like the clock was being pushed down a flight a stairs. Anyways so the first few times I woke up out of my sleep them realized its my grandfather clock..... But recently whenever it's happens im aware it's happening so I finish going to sleep but ill be lucid. I have had maybe 10 or so lucid dreaming experiences. It's just like normal dreaming but with God like power. It's the wildest thing I've ever done , in my sleep anyways!!! Hey thanks for the vid im glad im not the only one this is happening to.

Because that’s your subconscious telling you that this is real it’s not a dream, to come to your point about someone walking in a room and there is an eerie feeling, again that’s your subconscious making you believe that that person is scary/threat but what I don’t understand is how you managed to remember that dream about you flying so there was some sense of your conscious being used.

it's quite hard to explain. you're right that there's some consciousness there. and i think it is kind of a lucid dream in a way. i knew that my experience wasn't really happening, but i didn't quite realise what that meant? if that makes sense? like when you walk into a room and you don't remember why you're there. that overhanging memory of what you must've wanted from the room is there, but you can't get it back. kind of felt like deep down i knew why i was able to fly, but i couldn't quite remember that that must mean i was dreaming.

I've always had lucid dreams. Not every time I dream mind, but for as long as I can remember. My dreams are often very cinematic as well, with beginnings, middles and ends. I also dream on sets. If I dream of a school it is almost always The School. I have a Mall set I've used hundreds of times. Also two different Comic Book/Gaming Stores I visit regularly. My mother told me years after her divorce from my father that she had had the same nightmare, the *same* exact nightmare, every day for a decade. And she didn't get the hint. One might also think you may just have a very deep spiritual connection to the multiverse. If one were a theist for example...

So may start trying it at bed time , again !

The only time I've ever lucid dreamed: When I was about 8, I was on holiday in France (IRL) with he family, had been there for about a week. In my dream, I was listening to some people talk, dunno bout what, or who, it was a dream. And I noticed that they were speaking English... Wait, what? I swear I'm on holiday in France right now? Holy shit, this is a dream! I remember making this awesome glowing blue sword appear out of nowhere (because what else are you gonna do when you're 8 and have God powers, am I right?).
