anybody have these? anybody train for them? I'm going to try a technique for them this weekend, where you sleep for 5 hours, wake up, and for one hour think only about lucid dreaming. Then you go back to sleep thinking about wanting to have a lucid dream. In tests this has a 60% sucess rate.

60% is a very small amount.

I suck at even remembering my dreams?

[nomowish]

Why don't I ever question the weird things I see in dreams? I just go with them as if everything's normal. Maybe I don't ask enough questions when I'm awake. Rarely am I aware that I'm dreaming.

[total-trash]

for the first time the other night, i was aware that i was dreaming during a dream. i'd rather not be aware of it though.

usually my dreams aren't far fetched. but when i sleep in a different place or bed than i usually do, my dreams can get pretty insane.

This used to really interest me, and I did have a couple. I suppose since I havent been focused on it for a while, it hasnt seemed to happen since then.

The idea is totally cool to me though.

I was able to make choices and things, knowing I was dreaming. i twas weird.

I used to have lucid dreams when I was younger. Now I just dream that I've woken up and i'm getting ready for school etc. Basically all my dreams are variations of this.

[SynthethicalY]

I only dream a pitch black void. Sometimes it is red, but then I awake and is the sun hitting my face.

[ZEROpumpkins]

Haha, that's why I like where my room is in my house. The window is towards the west. But sometimes the sun shines off the window of nextdoor and hits my eye.

I think this is a topic of debate among whoever the professionals are that study this sort of thing. If the eye movement measurement is valid, then it really is interesting. I haven't looked this stuff up in a while, but my impression is that the actual measurement taken that makes lucid dreaming anything more than a pipe dream is under heavy fire.

With that said, I've had maybe ten clear cut lucid dreams, as far as I know. Most of them were very brief and involved removing myself from a nightmare - but maybe three or four were longer lasting and more interesting.

This stuff needs to be taken with a grain of salt though. I mean if it was real, don't you think there would be actual flourishing lucid dream academies by now? I currently tend to lean towards the idea that you realize you are dreaming is still just a part of the dream and that no real awakening actually occurs.
