I almost had a lucid dream today, but when I became lucid my dream just faded away and I woke up.

Then I had a nightmare that I was shot to death with a gun. ;P

I've only had 2 dreams ever where my life was in danger. Once I had one I killed somebody and people were after me. And another one where me and my mom were at a bank and I tried to be a hero.

Damn. I've had a quite a few dreams where my life was compromised. One time I had a dream where I was sitting in a pool and and then all of a sudden I was pulled under the surface and I kept sinking and then I realized I was paralyzed completely, and I struggled harder than I ever have to move, but I couldn't, and I was consumed by extreme fear, so then I drowned to death in a deep pitch-black abyss.

I've had quite a bit of lucid dreams. The most interesting one I've had spanned an entire week (in my head). No really. An entire FUCKING WEEK. So to say the least I was extremely confused when I woke up in the morning having experienced a week of time in the course of one night and remembering the whole thing. Notable things I did because I knew it was a dream: Stopping a moving train with my hand, and flying away after jumping off an enormous cliff.

If you want to have a lucid dream here's how I would recommend doing it it:

While laying in bed before sleeping, close your eyes and just visualize things (VISUALIZE don't just think) You can be specific in what you visualize but don't imagine anything that will keep you from being relaxed, that will just keep you awake. I kind of think of this as the "doorway" into the dream. Eventually you'll forget that you're actively visualizing as you drift into sleep and will have stepped into your dream world. You will be much more aware to discover the fact that you're now within a dream.

I tried this with sleeping meditation music and wow.. was it insane; traveling space at lightening speeds and whatnot.

shit idk man ive been lucid dreaming pretty much my whole life its pretty cool until its a nightmare then it sucks wake up super scared or depressed.

I lucid dream all the time. I fucking hate it, I dont "sleep" well at all. Its like i was up all night.

I remeber as a child I had a crazy dream where Dragonball Z poster on my wall came to life... The dragon was all crazy and scared the shit out of me and I remeber being in my bed and I could not move or breath or yell..

this kinda explains what happend that night. This does sound like fun if you could controll it and I might give it a try myself but im still kinda scared of shit turning on me and having another terrifying experiences

it is one of the most vivid memories of my childhood because it was so terrifying

yea when i have sex

Alright guys sorry i was gone a while. Im bringing this topic back up. How have you all been doing with your lucid dreaming?!?!
