Dream Dialouge

So, I've been keeping a dream journal for a few months now and my dream recall is getting incredible lately. I remembered at least 4 dreams last night/this morning and I usually write 1-3 pages not just a few words and details. Last thursday I had my first lucid dream. I was driving a friend's BMW in a tunnel, yet it was raining and I spun out and almost hit the wall, when I realized this can't be real, I must be dreaming. So I get out and ask a man "Is this a dream?" and he ignores me at first, so I ask again and he says "yes" and then proceeds to give me Lucid Dreaming advice that seemed really important but I can barely remember it. (btw, there was plenty more to my dream-before and after this part, including more dialouge) but this man's advice seemeded like precious information that I would like to know more about. I started keeping a dream journal so I could evenutally explore the amazing world of Lucid Dreaming, and it feels great to actually get there. Every morning I'm blown away by my mind's manifestations/dreams, it seems so random and "wierd" but I know there is really significance behind dreams. I'm wondering where does the other person's dialouge come from? Is there infinate knowledge in the dream world if you just ask? I have tons of questions I would like to ask someone more experienced than me, but I don't anyone personally that has the answers. Thanks for reading my dream ramble, Peace.

I never saw one, or know anyone who used one, but I remember a mask that was supposed to help lucid dreaming by giving you aural and light cues during REM sleep. It was called the Nova Dreamer.
It sounds good in theory, but could be complete bullshit.

The dream light mask things DO in fact help, from what I've read, but they aren't really worth the money, and are not a guarantee to easy lucid dreams, they just up your odds a bit. My advice would be just keep up the dream journal and enjoy that part of it, and the rest will come as fast as it has to, you have as long as it takes anyway.

I am more experienced than someone like you if you have questions. (that sounds so arrogant lol)
Lucid dreams are indeed neat.... I need to sort of..... approach them in more sublime and subtle ways, just observe and explore and flow, see what comes up, rather than you know poke and prod and fly and do egoistic things.
Keep up the dream recall and lucidity will follow. The thing about lucid dreaming is that you are dreaming right now.
Ponder the nature of consciousness, what makes this reality real? What makes it fundamentally different from the dream reality? There are numerous obvious indicators that this reality is much more different than the dream reality................. BUT....... do you know what these idicators are? If you don't you will be asleep while you are awake and even moreso when you are actually dreaming.... and... the dream reality IS the physical reality.
Because the physical reality is only your limited perspective of what is "real" and when you go to sleep, you are in the exact same perspective. Everything from your dreams, only exists because of the perceptions of your waking mind.
You model this universe, this world. And you enter that model when you go to sleep. Eradicate the barrier between dream and reality and you have almost guaranteed frequent lucidity. Prove to yourself right now that you are awake (and you can do this). Ponder to yourself how looking at a computer is in the waking world vs the dreaming.
See most people have issues with lucidity becasue they believe that dream and reality are fundamentally different and cannot coexist at the same time. That dream is NOT REAL and reality IS REAL.... but the perceptual mind makes no such distinctions. These people struggle with lucidity because they discredit and therefore ignore their dreams.
If you are attentive to your dream content, pursue an active interest in dreams themselves, you will have no obstacles toward lucidity. It may take time, but not much time................ the key thing to realize is that it's perception.
In the waking world you are perceiving external stimuli, in the sleeping world you are perceiving the sum of all such perceptions. The stimulation is internal.
But both are WORLDS both are explorable, both can be viewed with the utmost clarity in consciousness..... once this is realized the only remaining obstacle is "How exactly can I enter a dream........ right now?" and if anyone knows the answer to that question I would much appreciate it. (without drugs).
Deep sleep stands in the way of dreaming and makes conscious entry difficult, but well worth the pursuit.
I don't know if this is helpful, or what....... I've been dreaming for a long time, I do not have "powers" and have had only limited parnormal experiences with them but I am exceedingly good at lucidity and I hope that by simply trying to write a big long mysterious post like this it might inspire those who wish to further their dreaming skills.
I will say that dreams will synch up highly with reality if you let them, though.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!
