Lucid Dreaming
I had my first fully conscious lucid dream last night completely by accident. It was the best thing ever. The environment was completely under my control. I called back an old friend to talk to. I reversed gravity, used the Force, and burned down a building I hate that knocked down a childhood playground. Then I flew through the stars and visited Pluto and proved conclusively that it is not a planet. Good times.
Will try to do this intentionally at some point.

Re: Lucid Dreaming
I've been lucid dreaming for as long as I've been dreaming.
It was only in recent years that I found out that NOT everybody does it.

Re: Lucid Dreaming
I envy you Shades. I've had dreams where I've recognized that I was dreaming but never on a fully conscious level. I've manipulated the dreams on a minor level to suit my whims but this is the first time I've had complete control over it and knew it.

Re: Lucid Dreaming
I've been able to control my dreams from a young age. I developed a technique in my own mind to control my sleep in order to prevent the constant nightmares I had and recurring dreams. Over time I learned I could control every dream I had between closing my eyes and falling into a deep dreamless state, however it made me physically exhausted (as I would skip a stage of my sleep pattern) after several years and I had to work to get myself out of that habit, I believe it is the cause of my hallucinations. I can very easily go into a lucid dream but it is very easy to do it more than you should when you can just go straight into it and I had at one point in my life preferred dreaming to actual real life.
Just punched myself on the face...

Never tried it, but thanks for bringing the subject up. I have been meaning to try this stuff, this has been a reminder for me. Perhaps I will do so and post. I have had lucid dreams but rarely and it's been a long time. I love God's creations, especially the plants.
Awww now that is cute. I once was like that hehehe.

Re: Lucid Dreaming
Pulled it off again yesterday. I got to fly and had a great time. I found I could control a lot of it but some events occurred that I didn't expect. An old friend showed up but I took that in stride and raced him across the Himalayas.
