Lucid dreamers 1

So I've been trying to wrap my head around the extremely strange things I perceived whilst awake for 8 days more than twice in the past year
It was so like my natural dream state, which my whole life has been cursed to be so vivid, remembering 2 or 3 upon waking each morning most mornings.
I'll say I rarely have pleasant dreams, they're almost explicitly nightmares or at least very strange.
I was sober during these experiences this year, and I want to see if becoming lucid might bring some peace of mind, understanding, or not relate to these things at all
In my life I've always relied on prolonged focus on breath to center myself, and at night I will sometimes awaken and decide if i want to continue with a dream or not, go back in or start another
If anyone can become lucid , can you suggest in what way is best once you enter the dream?
I think in those moments when I'm awakened, I might slip back in and try then, because it's like my awareness is "split" between dream and normal awareness , as if I'm watching my dream like a movie, but still know that Im lying down and it's only a dream
Very hard to explain these things coherently

Everyone is talking about dreaming.
They are very vivid, and remember them for they will come back, and each character will change,
you will be different each thought and body tick and the stars will also be there more solid.
Your dreams are to bring peace, even if it screams nightmares, your dreams are to become peace.
The thing about being A dream thing, it's not all it's cracked up to be From the dead come dreams and the living are requiems.

I've been able to lucid dream and/or "astral project", with relative ease since childhood. I actually thought thats what dreaming WAS, until other people started describing things that didn't make sense to me.

I have some experience with Lucid Dreaming. Ive gone into Lucid Dreams accidentally using the W.I.L.D.
W.I.L.D. stands for Wake-Induced Lucid Dreaming. https://www.lucidforever.com/wake-induced-lucid-dream/
It basically works because you wake up straight from REM sleep, you become aware of being awake, then you go back to sleep immediately after waking up and thus bring that conscious awareness with you back into REM sleep. If you repeat this process, you have a high likelihood of having a lucid dream.
So one way to accomplish this is to set a light, gentle alarm that wakes up at say 5am or 6am. You wake up at that time, then take a whiz if u need to, drink a little water then go straight back to bed before you wake-up too much. Then dream again and you may have a lucid dream or you may wake up again at that point you do that same thing, take a whiz, drink a little water then go straight back to bed.
Ive done this (unintentionally) a few times, and Ive either experienced very vivid dreams or lucid/semi-lucid dreams. Its pretty amazing. I hope this helps.

Shit dudes that wild thing has been happening to me naturally my whole life wore I thought that'd be the time
And I'm 32 I'm not trying to have fun or become a hippy I want to understand
That no sleep hallucination shit reminded me of the Carlos castaneda thing displacing your conscious focus or whatever
That shit was more intense than any trip I've ever been on and it started like day 3ish got vivid day 4 5ish then unbearable hospitalized day 8
And I'm not an incompetent either, which is why it was scary
I experienced ego death at the end, like the hallucination that I got shot in the head tortured and burned alive one time, Electrocuted by pole transformers (I work in trees around them) and I mean I literally accepted that I was actually dead, stopped fighting and took it
Fuckin weird dude

Wow I just had to say: my new cat is a kitten, a "kitler" kitten like the one in your sig, and even has the same offset to its moustache! Mine isn't heil-ing anyone though.
Whenever I'm about to go lucid, I usually get too excited and watch as the details fade away and I feel my bed coming to consciousness. I've been told--and had some success with this--that you can do something like spinning around in circles in your dream to try to keep yourself grounded in that reality...something about the feedback of the wind spinning through your hands.
I haven't had much success, but once I was able to change my setting to a neutral known location (my folks' back yard) and "superjump" and fire sparks of lightning from my hands! Oddly, I wasn't able to go full Palpatine but just smallish instantaneous bug-zaps...it can take more than just the realization that you're dreaming to do full-on superhero shit!
My best times for getting lucid are lazy days, like a Sunday or day completely off, when you no pressing responsibilities and can actually sleep in. I find if I get up to take the dog out or go pee, I try to get back to sleep within about 5 minutes and part of my consciousness usually stays awake too.

Wow I had to comment on this (sorry for double-posting) but that's crazy, eh? It can be so vivid when you're in that lifetime, it's like you can go through an entire existence! Hope your recovery's going well too.
When you posted that, it made me think of one of the most vivid nightmares I've ever had; it wasn't lucid but very clear:
It started off with me working some kind of sketchy office job involving being on the phones, but was definitely some kind of organized crime outfit, built into a strip mall. I was pulled away from my work and led to a backroom flanked by security. The layout of this room was such that the first 10 feet or so was a narrow corridor which then opened to your left into the main body of the room, like an interrogation room. It was what I saw when I rounded the corner that made me flip: arranged nearly on a table in the front of this room was a series of handsaws, including one that was very obviously a bonesaw! I didn't even see the rest of the room; this was at the "front" and I managed to spin around and run for my fucking life through this sketchy call centre, out into the parking lot and off! I ran and ran. I still remember what it was like to just keep running, running for my life.
The dream fades to a few weeks later(?) to where I've managed to sneak into someone's home with a cluttered basement--literally a pile of their unsorted junk in a finished basement--where I made a nest of sorts and remained basically motionless for days, but they still managed to track me there! Thankfully the goons didn't see me in the pile and I was able to weave out as they checked another room. It blew my mind that they could find me laying low as fuck in some random's basement, but they did.
Cut away one last time and I remember it as if it was a montage: at a fest or something I was able to fall in a bunch of cool hippies, and they agreed to take me on to live with them on their commune. I did manual labour to earn my place and the last thing I remember was sitting in the back seat of their van with them on the road, knowing that I was able to escape and finally make a new life...and there was a Cadillac flying over the road too. I think this pulled me out of it.
But yeah, that feeling of imminent death--or even ACTUAL DEATH like you described--it's like you lived through that. It's enough to make me think that maybe I quantum-lept into a parallel life and saved my ass in another dimension.

What is the scariest is that in a dream you usually awaken before someone pulls a gun shoots you in the head sicks dogs on you then pours kerosene and lights it...not this time tho
In the hospital after thinking I was electrocuted I fuckin ripped through the tie downs they had to get leather straps and 8 people to hold me down
Took 5 shots of whatever benzo to get me down
Mind is a fucked place

WOW that's some intense shit, but IT IS though; that was you experiencing the violent end of your life in that moment. Sorry to hear you had to go through that, that's enough to give a person PTSD...if not just the torture dream itself then that wake-up...DAMN.
