Lucid Dreaming
    #23553417 - 08/18/16 02:08 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

So I had a lucid dream this morning, the first one in a little over a year.
The dream started off (at-least the first part I am able to remember) with me beginning to realize I have super-powers while walking down some random busy road, yet still not beginning to realize I was in a dream.

Its strange because normally I realize I am in a dream before I develop super-powers.

I began to fly and practice telekinesis, all to the amazement of my dream characters and then suddenly I realized I was dreaming and acutely aware of my state of consciousness, hovering between being lucid, waking up, and falling back into regular dreaming.

Then my girlfriend wakes me up.

It really makes me want to get back into lucid dreaming.

Are there any masters here?

What are the possibilities?

And what does lucid dreaming mean, philosophically?

I have a decent amount of experience with lucid dreaming and can usually induce that state when I want with some reliability.  If I set a quiet soothing sounding alarm, nothing with a sharp noise, for about 45 minutes after I intend to fall asleep, and I goto sleep repeating "I can control this I am here" this method works 80% of the time after I developed the familiarity with the prompts and feelings of that "cross over" moment realization.

I have put things to a test before, in my dream traveling to well known places and people and observing them. Then upon waking verifying observations, which were rarely accurate. Despite the feeling of it being very real.

I have tested the accuracy of observation on the unconscious mind with some interesting results, finding I have picked up details about places and things and people that I was not aware of, but could focus on quite clearly in my lucid state. Things like the exact pattern of a woman's necklace or purse, how many steps in a certain staircase that I've never actively counted. Small things like that are retained and protected into the simulation of reality playing through my head.

I find that the more unreal things I attempt, like super powers and stuff tend to break apart the lucidity and either skip me back to dreaming or wake me up, but it is hard to sustain, whereas if I stick to reality mostly, then the lucid dream can last for what feels like a full day and more sometimes.

interesting.

I first started lucid dreaming when I was very young, maybe 5-6, and before I started regularly smoking the ganja, I had more lucid dreams than regular dreams growing up.

One of my earliest memories is when I first started talking about realizing your dreams to my parents and they both looked at me like I was crazy.
They said they barely dreamed anymore and for the first time i realized my parents were not infallible (i was 6) and that I was perhaps a bit strange for having those experiences.

After I began smoking herb, the ratio of lucid dreams to regular dreams became much lower...even dreaming itself seems to be lessened. Upon researching why, I've discovered that THC inhibits REM sleep, as well, it messes with your short term memory, so it makes sense why I'm not dreaming as much.

I've always just jumped straight into flying/fucking/superpowers when I would lucid dream growing up.
I got pretty good at staying lucid, riding that middle awareness of 'forget and dream' and 'waking up'  before my marijuana use messed it all up.

I found it difficult, though was working towards, bringing back 'goals' to the lucid dream states,
as the euphoria of becoming lucid and flying would supercede any previous plans or goals I had set for myself upon reaching lucidity.

goals beyond hedonism such as having philosophical conversation with a dream character such as Charles Darwin or Thomas Jefferson (or anyone deceased really), exploring the galaxy with aliens, the total disintegration of the perceived dream-self to become everything in my dream and really know it.
I once remembered some of my goals while lucid in a dream, and had an interesting conversation with my recently deceased grandmother.
Although, it became quite intense and I fell back into the dreamstate. That was the only and closest I've gotten to really exploring what lucidity has to offer.

I think I am going to stop smoking as much and pursue my dreams.

You shouldn't seal your dreams with organized letters

You may be interested in a pdf called advanced lucid dreaming the power of supplements by Thomas Yuschak.

From personal experience he explains a decent  physiological approach which leads to success in experiencing the phenomena without woo woo.
