Are you sure you are dreaming this realm and we have been drawned into this realm in order to support you in creating a doom-day weapon to destroy dream world?

Shit man I want to do this so bad.
I had a faze were I wrote down my dreams and for a week I could remember them really well. But then I got bored and gave up.
Let me know if it works at all.
Also I had a dream my head got eaten by a lion. It was at a park down the road.

ahoy there. i have a sure fire way of lucid dreaming that i discovered on accident. i've had 100% success rate with it, and the results trump any other method i've tried by miles. we're talking fully conscious, full sensation dreaming.

though there are some hurdles you need to clear for it to work. 1st off you will need a great degree of control over your mind and be familiar with how to put yourself into a hypnagogic state. you'll know when you hit this state. you'll be able to manipulate your senses at will from here with some practice. it kinda feels like slipping on a fleece onezie. but to start a lucid dream from it you'll need to keep your mind completely blank from within that state. that means passing up all of the sensory fun you can have (though usually reaching this state will help you remember your dreams).

the aim is basically to keep yourself fully conscious as your body switches into the R.E.M. state of sleep. i use my acute hearing damage as a focus. you know; that faint ringing noise you hear when the room is totally silent. i focus on that; make it as loud and encompassing as i can. this is where the final major hurdle comes into play. you need to make it through the transition.

it might not seem difficult, but i assure you; it is one of the scariest sensations you will ever feel. as it starts you will hear an almost mechanical grinding noise. this noise will grow louder and more intense and begin to work its way into your sense of touch as the noise permeates your being. as this is happening it will feel like your consciousness is being condensed down to a single point. you're going to think you are dieing the first time you try it, and getting through it will never get any easier than the first time you do it successfully. i assure you nothing bad will happen if you allow yourself to be pulled through. though if you do freak out: by this time your body has already been locked down by sleep paralysis. so when you try to move it is going to take you several tries before you are actually able to.

if all goes well and you make it through the transition you will be shot out into dream land fully aware. moreover you will (with practice) be able to control and modify your dream-scape with alarming precision and speed. the dream is guaranteed to plant its self firmly into your memory. difficult to do, scary as fuck, but totally worth it.

I had a dream I was a character from Inception. Crazy shit bro.

s1eepy 2011-03-03 22:18:51

took me quite a while to science it away. trust me though its legit. the trick is to keep you mind from wandering (ie: keep your mind clear the whole time). when you let your mind wander before falling asleep you effectively exhaust it and it then too falls asleep. if you can stop it from firing electricity all over the place you'll be able to stay conscious as you hit R.E.M. sleep. it even sounded like bullshit to me after the first time i did it. . . . but after the second, third, fifth, tenth, twentieth time, not so much bs anymore.

a quiet room seems to get the best results. if you can pick out a ringing try using that. its gotten a few other people i've mentioned the method to up to the transition. though only two of them have had the balls to actually go through the last bit. the first thing i wanted to do was verify it by having someone else get the same results i did. it also won't work if you're exhausted/really tired. its a little taxing, but you do wake up feeling rested.

You should stop depositing experience at this point. Your user icon is awesome.

Also, fuck you for being Quebecois.

I tried for ages to lucid dream when I was younger. Eventually I either had one lucid dream, or I had one dream where I dreamt I had a lucid dream. I'LL NEVER KNOW.

Prome 2011-03-04 10:31:20

interesting. please update this. perhaps tell us when you get a lucid dream, and what it was like. i don't think i've ever had one, unless i didn't know i did.

DrSevenSeizeMD 2011-03-15 21:38:53

I just went and read (and also caught up on the other poxbox articles I'd missed. I wish I'd seen rape dollars before Valentines day!)

I lucid dream all the time---and I hate it!

I dream every night, very vividly, almost to the point it's like Michael Bay is directing my dreams. They have plot lines and protagonists and antagonists---it's just exhausting.

Usually, I'm aware I am in the dream, and when someone in the dream tries to hurt me, I tell them or myself that I'm not worried about them because I'm just dreaming and I'll wake up soon. Often, I can wake myself up from a nightmare, by telling myself to wake up in the dream.

I can wake up from a dream and then pick back up in the same spot.

I can pick back up the next day as well.

I have repetitive dreams a lot.

But I hate it. It's every night, all night, and it feels like I've been awake all night! So the next day, I'm so frickin tired.

I even had a sleep study done a few years ago and the neurologist was so excited. Said he had never seen brain waves like that in a mentally healthy (lol rofl) 24 year old female. He said my conscious brain waves were just fine, but my nocturnal brain waves were more along the lines of what he sees in patients with schizophrenia.

Yay, thanks doc!

Anyway, your dream journal is bitchin.

and lol @ Charlie Sheen.
