I've done it, lucid dreaming....

I can do it almost on command now, I lie down think about absolutely nothing and all of a sudden im in this state where I can literally mold a dream around myself. It's still in the early stages though, I could fly in the dream, but I couldnt make it through the window, I dove into that mofo about 4 or 5 times.
Can't wait till bedtime

take some vitamin B6 and Melatonin. You'll have some of the most vivid lucid dreams ever.

Yes it is. Those are called wake induced lucid dreams or WILD's - you go from being awake directly into the state of dreaming.

Here's a cool dream. I had been running around some fake university town in my dream. The dream had this sort of evil chess theme to it. So I had to go fight this minotaur, and I was just regular old me in my dream.
It wasn't a lucid dream, I thought all this was real. But at that moment, while walking toward the minotaur, I thought this: "You have convinced yourself that you have to do this. You do not." Then I considered it, and turned around, trusting that I wouldn't get killed doing so. Then I tried to fly away as fast as I could. It's hard for me to will myself to fly while dreaming. So I slowly got the hang of it. Then I was floating around the town with a baloon around my neck like in that NES game baloon fighter. The little baloon was holding me up and I was flapping my arms, sticking my legs out in front, like in the game. It was lots of fun.
Anyhow that's the first time I made a truly executive decision in a dream that was not lucid.

The first time I lucid dreamt, it happened on accident, before I had even heard of the term. It was cool because I pushed up on a counter so my feet were off the ground, then woke up, observed that I was in a pushup position on my bed, then closed my eyes, was back asleep, and lowered myself down, back in the dream in the same spot. It was so cool that I looked up lucid dreaming that night.

the last couple LD's i've had, I always get fasinated with penetrating matter. Its exaclty like the in Matrix when Neo touches the mirror, whie sitting in that room about to choose his pill. Yea, I touch the wall and stuff and my hand sinks into and and I pull it out, and the wall stretches with it, and sticks to my hand. I always forget to do other shit, im always just blown away, and so amused with doing that

Just like anything else. You need to practice. Its a skill, and the more you work with it, the better you get. You also need the desire to. Having a strong intention to have them is key.

MY first experience with lucid dreaming was years ago. I was with sylvester stallone in a raptor pit, and they were everywhere. But I decided to go and hide in a room behind some boxes. Yeah, I loved it. I can also wake myself up on command.
One of my weirdest experiences with this was when I was dreaming I got shot in the head. I could feel myself dieing in the dream, and I remembered reading somewhere you can die in real life if you die in a dream. So I forced myself to wake up. I couldnt for the first few seconds, it was quite scary.

No one could ever know that. How would they determine what the dead person was dreaming?

I do remember it saying that because the person gets shocked so much, thats what causes them to die in real life.

I've heard that too, it would be interesting to find out if there is any truth to that.

Hehe, google revealed:
http://www.eeeek.com/ask95.html
And just thinking about, I highly doubt this is the case. The times where I've dreamed of dying, I've always awoken with a start. But those are just dreams I remember, I'm sure there have been other dreams I've died in and continued to sleep. Plus, dreaming about death is not at all infrequent, if someone died from such a dream, I'm sure the media would blow it up, and everyone would be panicked and would begin taking ungodly amounts of caffeine and ephedrine and amphetamines to stay awake forever.

Yeah, the site says Quote:
No, I don't believe you do. Death in a dream is not what one thinks - it does not, or rarely does - symbolize actual death. Generally speaking it is an indication that things in your life will be changing. The death of one thing and the birth of another.
Hope this answers your question! Thanks for writing Eeeek!
But I'm not too sure I'd trust anything from a site called "Eeeek"

I killed myself in a lucid dream once. I woke up.
Freeker, what did you find to be the most effective way of getting yourself to have lucid dreams?

have you ever astral projected...???
-------------------- "Six words: drop out, turn on, then come back and tune it in -and then drop out again, and turn on, and tune it back in-it's a rhythm- most of us think God made this universe in nature-subject object-predicate sentences-turn on, tune in, drop out- period, end of paragraph. Turn the page- it's all a rhythm- it's all a beat. You turn on, you find it inside, and then you have to come back (since you can't stay high all the time) and you have to build a better model. But don't get caught - don't get hooked - don't get attracted by the thing you're building, cause... you gotta drop out again. It's a cycle. Turn on, tune in, drop out. Keep it going, keep it going- the nervous system works that way. gotta keep it flowing- keep it flowing.

How do u do this lucid dreaming? I was reading about it. When u go to sleep do u just have to know if ur dreaming or not?

Basically, yeah. One thing you can do is throughout the day, do a dream test. Ask yourself, "Am I dreaming?" And don't just say Duh, of course not. Rationalize why. You'll know you're not dreaming because you can observe the environment around you and things remain consistnet and appear as expected, you can remember what you did 30 seconds, 5 minutes, an hour ago and trace your day back chronologically to waking in the morning, you can look at a clock and it consistently displays the actual time, the weather seems what you would expect, etc... (Tip: clocks, especially digital ones, are never consisten in dreams, digital usually displays weird bullshit. This experience seems pretty consistent with people across the board from my research)
You can decide on certain times to do this. maybe everytime something unusual or synchronistic happens, everytime you encounter someone from around a corner, everytime you walk through a door, whatever you choose. If you get into the habit of doing this throughout the day, you'll start doing it in your dreams too and it's the realization in your dreams that you are dreaming that allows you to become lucid, as long as you don't wake up first.
