Lucid dreaming Self meditated mind tripping

[kindness]

Has any body here have any expirence with lucid dreaming? For those of you who dont know anything about it, its when you can control your dreams and you are aware when you dream. Its the ultimate trip. You can do anything, go any where, and meet anybody. And it feels real. you can even fly threw the sky like super man and actually feel the flying motion.

I have lucid dreamed before especially when I was a kid and its only until recently that I understand what was happening to me as a kid.

It takes practice to be able to do it on command at night. if you learn how to do it and get the hang of it its one of the most incredible things you will ever do.

heres a video on it.

Ive attempted it but never successfully. I believe that dream control is needed before lucid dreaming can happen but Im not sure about that.

Heres a very helpful website on the subject. It also cover astral projection, hypnotism, and channeling among others.

When I was a kid it happened to me quite a bit and I dont know why. But I could fly any where and could feel my stomach drop and everything. like a roller coaster.

www.dreamviews.com - Everything you need to know about LD.

I tried it for a while, had one experience where I became lucid and woke up about 10 seconds later. Takes ALOT of practice, more for some people then others. Anyways since ive started smoking weed again I haven't recalled a single dream in months, just don't retain any memory of them in the morning. However if I were to stop, things would probably be fine again within a week.

I agree though that its an incredible experience, just takes a lot of patience.

wow so glad to see this thread!
ive actually been trying to do this for a while, with mixed results

sadly, i havent been able to do this during the night, but only when i take naps during the day. i cant really say that i am in complete control of everything, but i am certainly close. i have gone flying through the mountains, swam in the depths of the ocean, and once i went to the movies with my friends hahah
btw ive been trying to control my dreams ever since i was a little kid. my mother used to tell me whenever i was having a nightmare, to look down at my fist, and roll my hand around, giving me a sense of control over the situation. it took a while, but now i pretty much control what i dream about. i really recommend this to everyone, at least give it a try! i usually take 90 minute naps when im trying to do this.

ps. i dont really dream at night, may have something to do with late night sesh's...

Yeah the look down at your fist thing is called a reality test. There are a bunch that work if you ever find yourself in a semi-conscious state dreaming then try one out and you will either gain full control over your dream or if your inexperienced most likely gain control for a few seconds and then wake up. The most common is to plug your nose and if you can breathe your dreaming, or simply look at your hand and you may have 6 fingers! Looking at a clock also works, and you won't be able to see the time properly.

Chances are you can't recall dreaming at night for the same reason as me...smoking in the evening. You still do dream but you just aren't aware of it because the moment you wake up you won't remember because somehow the THC affects your recall and dream vividness.
The wierdest thing is when you see something during the day that was in your dream and will trigger your memory a bit, like deja vu. Strangest feeling since you can't remember anything about the dream just the object usually.

If you go sober though your nighttime dreams should come back with a week or so, and you will likely have a REM rebound where your suddenly having lots of dreams from the lack you had from smoking.

Whenever i was a child, my dreams frightened me so much, sometimes I would strain to wake up.. and after awhile I could make myself wake up out of a nightmare if need be. And eventually while dreaming i would realize i was asleep. I couldnt control the dream, or anything I would just find myself somewhere doing something. And take control.

I smoke heavily, and really have no problem remembering dreams when i wake up.
If i were to try and explain it though, it would make no sense. :\ Randomness

Damn, your really lucky man. Only wish I could combine these 2 great things.

Lucid dreaming is an amazing state to be in. I know a lot about it but I've only managed to have about 4 or 5. It's just too amazing to describe to someone who hasn't experienced it. Everything looks AND FEELS completely real only you KNOW that you're dreaming.
I know that that with practice some people can have them pretty much every night, whenever they want. Lucid dreaming is teh shit! : )

Ive done this before. Its so badass. I love being able to take control and do what ever I want to. Ive even had 1 outta body experience...many ways you can achieve these but its very hard and requires much concentration. I was able to do it because I meditate all the time because im buddhist.

I had those when i was younger. I haven't had one recently though. I heard ganj screws with you dreams so that must be the reason.

[Blazin Budz]

wow what a great thread..im gonna try this every night and hang out with tupac

[K4Lic0]

I've worked on achieving them, and I have had them before, but i havn't been able to do it on a regular basis or whenever I want.
