Did you know that noting what you remember of your dream will help your upcoming dreams to become more vivid? You should also drink apple juice right before you sleep as that will help your dream to become vivid.

Lucid dreaming is when you are dreaming and you aware that you are dreaming, and you can fully control your dreams. Here are some lucid dreaming terms:

LD - Lucid Dreaming - Being aware that you are dreaming while in a dream.
RC - Reality Check - A test to establish whether you are in a dream or waking life, actively done during the day in hopes that the habit will continue within dreams.
MILD - Mnemonically Induced Lucid Dream - In short, MILD is telling yourself as you are in bed ready to sleep that you are going to become lucid when you dream, then visualizing yourself in a dream becoming lucid. Repeat until you fall asleep.
WILD - Wake-Induced Lucid Dream - A technique in which you maintain consciousness while your body falls asleep. Not for the squeamish.
DC - Dream Character - Any personality you encounter other than yourself...well, occasionally it can also be yourself.
SP - Sleep Paralysis - A natural, safe part of the process of falling asleep which causes you to be unable to move your body. The paralysis process happens to you every time you go to sleep. When you WILD and experience SP, you are conscious while it happens. Sometimes you may be visited by the dream transition buddies--relax and enjoy the show until you can interact with your environment.

I don't have many but the one that I recall from a few months ago is still stuck in my head. You maybe thinking I made it up, but fire and murder is cool.
So there I was, the entrance, nay.. The mouth of a building, flames licking out at the sky from each window, each wall. Screams I hear from with in, deciding it maybe best if I was to cover myself in water before entering, taking a near by bucket, tipping it over my head, and walking in afterwards, my hair dripping and running down my back. Children screaming for help, begging to be set free. What's my response? Throw them, onto the fire with a grin on my face. As I did this, wondering why the fuck I was doing this, I just kept doing this, knowing it was wrong, but it felt nice.

As I make my way through the building I begin to find a small lobby, table, comfortable chairs, though still quite on fire, except for those two. Deciding I need to take a seat I sat down, giving a small glance of the room, scanning over it, a figure, six feet in standing caught my eye. Blonde hair, feminine structure and a white lab coat. Was one of my RP characters, Kristie, a scientist. She was quietly brewing chemicals. A look over to the other end of the table revealed another girl, long black hair and a Half life blue citizen outfit, another one of my characters, Stormy. Flames emmitting around her, hair, face, body, all of it. Panic onset me as I quickly rush to see the fire is actually behind her. Sighing in relaxation I just went back to sit on the couch, the two characters idly chatting about the Combine and how to stop it once for all, and the repercussions of doing that. It was nice, because I could just listen to my characters stories develop, though I can no longer remember what they were talking about specifically.

Now I wanna role play.
(can you guess why my name is Sadistic Fire now?)

I can go to lucid dreaming pretty easily from a half-awake state.
If I wake up too early on the morning, and drift back to sleep, I can usually go to lucid dreaming.
By imagining my mind takes the form of a snake and leaves the body. Incidentally, that's how I move between dreams too. If I have a nightmare or something, I can still always turn to a snake and escape the dream.
(Which is also how I know whether something is a dream or not)

Sleep paralysis is also common for me, but luckily it has never felt scary for me. Although might be because I'm used to it.

I've never had a lucid dream. Every time I become aware that I'm dreaming, I wake up instantly. Usually my dreams are vague and nonsensical, and most of the time I forget them within a few minutes of waking up, but I've had a few memorable ones.

Once, I dreamed that the world was about to end. The dream didn't specify why, exactly, but for some reason every human being on the planet was going to be killed. Instead of panicking and rioting like you would expect people to do, however, everyone came together for a huge "End of the World" party. It lasted weeks, and there was a doomsday clock counting down. As it got close to zero, everyone held hands and sang.

Another time, I dreamed that I was with some friends in an empty lot in the middle of a big city. It was night, and there was a windstorm going on. My friends and I discovered that if we threw ourselves head first into the wind and spread our arms and legs at the right angle, the breeze would carry us and we could drift around the empty lot.

Then there was another time when I dreamed I was walking through a neighborhood at night. There were trees and houses lining the road, and wrought iron lampposts that cast halos of yellow light, as if it were foggy. I walked along, and then heard a voice say "You look lost." I looked up and there was a girl leaning on the railing of a porch in front of one of the houses. I said "Not anymore," and walked up to her. Then I woke up.

eh when i dream, which is infrequently, i usually have a dream along the lines that i am some sort of evil god who is conquering the earth/some other poor planed/galaxy/whatever from the command deck of an impossibly huge and advanced intergalactic starship/fleet sometimes one of my generals will challenge me to a duel for control of my despotic empire but otherwise its pretty bog standard and i dont read much into it other than i think i might be an aggressive go getter (AKA a power crazy *****) and that's the only dream i really remember

i dont practice that lucid dreaming stuff for me there are 2 best parts of sleeping going to sleep and waking up on my own like on a day off the dreams are a possibly disturbing side effect i could do with out

i do sometimes have hypnic jerks which are strange but have become strangely pleasant i like the sensation of falling out of sleep and into my bed

i have been getting episodes of sleep paralysis from time to time also i knew about the phenomenon from previous reading but the first couple of times still freaked me out heaps but now doesnt phase me much and its only a once a month or so event

Couple of nights ago I dreamt I was having sex with Katy Perry. Or attempting to, anyway. The position was reverse cowgirl, but my penis was sort of in front of her vagina instead of in it.

I very rarely have sex dreams, that I can remember anyway, and when I do I never actually manage to get down to actual intercourse. Either I wake up too early, or something surreal happens in the dream.

I once had a dream that I had drunken sex at a party with my friend's wife, and that he caught us and chased us around with a shotgun. That was an odd one.

Once, I was being chased through hills by seahorses. Then I was saved by a purple jester person. We fused and started flying around and shit.

 

[trollnystan]

One of my favourite dreams was actually kind of a nightmare at the time. It was a zombie dream; at the very end I was finally safe in a lovely flat together with my cat - not either of my actual cats though - when the bloody cat escapes out the window and I have to (according to dream logic) go after it. When I get down to the lobby I get attack by a zombie - who also happens to be Captain Kathryn Janeway in full regalia.

All the while I'm telling my dreamself to stop being stupid and stay in the fucking flat, but my dreams never follow my orders. It's kind of annoying. My dreams are often lucid, I just can't do anything to manipulate them.

Anyway, woke up as she was chewing my face off and I started giggling.

Another dream I was a true nightmare. I ended up flat on my back after a long scary chase while some horrific nonperson injected air into my veins, and as I felt myself dying I kept telling myself to wake up because if I didn't I was sure I was going to die. Very Friday the 13th.

I woke up.

Or did I? *[insert Twilight Zone music]

 

[default]

Well I've had an incredibly visceral and vivid dream where I broke into a little modern beachhouse at night and killed everyone inside with a shovel. I could feel their heads caving in and everything, it was horrible. They were all very young and attractive too, very slasher-esque.


Another was more interesting and still confuses me to this day, but I had the same dream twice in one night (or a with a few nights between, can't quite remember), but my memory of the previous dream carried on into the next. Basically there was a plague of some kind spreading and killing everyone, and there were very few left alive except for me and some random loved ones from my life. In the first dream I discovered how to cure the illness (it involved bathing in a mix of plant leaves and chemicals) and all was well.
However, the next time the dream happened I knew how to cure it straight away, but no one would listen to me and they all ended up dying. I woke up in frustrated tears.

I've also had a dream in which I wasn't flying, like the norm, but could carry insane momentum, slide and jump incredibly high. I was in this endless stormy field of rolling hills perfect for the power I had, and it was amazing.
I want to design a game to capture that feeling someday.

 

[MorphingDragon]

My dreams are so fucked up half the time I wouldn't want to be lucid dreaming.

 

[ShipofFools]

Well I was holding my head and examining my teeth with a little stick.
Then I realised I was holding my head in my arms, and felled on the spot where my head should have been. It was still there.
The logical problem made me wake up, and I had a really slow morning.

I had the most fucked-up dream a couple of weeks ago.

It was the future. People had found a way to transfer minds or souls between bodies. But only into "empty" bodies. So if a person died you could take someone else's consciousness and put it in the body. The process also involved regenerating any damage to the dead body, so the new tenant wouldn't just drop dead straight away from whatever killed the original person.

The dream took the form of an interview with an actor. (I wasn't involved, there was no "I" really, I was just observing everything from an outside perspective.) The actor was going to be starring in a biographical movie about someone famous who had died recently and was going to be transferred into the dead body of the guy he was playing, so, y'know... he'd look exactly like the person he was acting as. Apparently the future people did not consider this whole thing to be extremely creepy.

Anyway, so during the conversation the actor admits that he doesn't know how the transferring technology was invented. So the interviewer starts explaining it to him. While he's explaining, the dream starts throwing up these brief flashback-style images of the story he's telling. This is where it gets gross.

He explains that the technology was accidentally discovered during at a hospital during a hazing gone horribly wrong. A bunch of drunken nurses got their new colleague drunk and high, then walked her down to the morgue. There they got the corpse of a big fat guy which had all all the organs removed, opened it up, stuffed the nurse bodily into the chest/abdominal cavity, then stitched it up with her inside. (No idea how she fit in there, I guess she was quite small... or just dream logic.) Then they set about injecting the corpse with every drug they could lay their hands on, which was a lot, since it was a hospital. Eventually the nurse stops screaming and kicking inside the corpse, whereupon they realise they've taken it way too far, panic and rush out. A few minutes after they're gone, the corpse starts to twitch its legs. Then it starts flickering and kinda phasing from side to side (think the tears from Bioshock Infinite). The final image of the dream was the fat corpse lying on a gurney with all these giant syringes sticking out of it, twitching and flickering, then right at the end, the corpse, eyes still closed, opens its mouth and lets out a dry, croaky scream.

Then I woke up.

So yeah. Like I said, totally fucked up. I have to give my subconscious points for pacing and story structure though.

It's the first dream in ages that I actually remember. Well, that and the one with the dusky skinned woman with thick legs and perfect hips, but that one was way less interesting.

 

[The Ubermensch]

I once had a dream where I experienced three months in this wild and wonderful world. In that time I met some of the most interesting characters. It was strange, like wonderland and through the looking glass everything was a reflection of an aspect. But there were two who were completely foreign to me, a wolf who I never found out the name, and a fairy called Helen.

The Wolf, to look upon him... have you ever watched Fate Zero? There's a character in that called Iskandar, as in the Alexander the great. At the start he seems a bit over the top, but by the end you're just soaking up his Aura, and you would follow him to the ends of the earth. My wolf never speaks, he just keeps running.

He's my white rabbit

Helen's a different story, she talks, a lot, with thousands of opinions. Most of them are anarchistic and antitheistic, and I mean she thinks gods exist but she's like "Fuck em". She was a companion during that time. In a lot of ways she was messed up. I remember a few times things got messed up, someone died who I was quite fond of, I can't remember them now. She said "People don't know themselves, and it's either because of that or through no fault of their own that they will shatter your expectations. Self acceptance will make you happy, peer acceptance is no substitute. Each person is a nation."

that was six years ago, and that's about all I remember from that.

About two years ago I had a dream, I saw something. I don't know what it was, I actually remember it was black. At the time I thought it was nothing, I woke up screaming. I've been through all of this before, trying to get the lucid dreaming going.

After that I saw Helen again, and she's become a recurring theme in my dreams, talking to me. The wolf... I don't see him but I feel that aura.

I can lucid dream now, I have a lot in this strange universe where magic and technology coexist. It was weird the way it was built. Some of the techniques you use to get to lucid dreaming is to make your own "Wonderland", you don't go over complicated, it's supposed to be like a step, like a door way. I made mine around some edgy symbolism. I had like a massive tree in the center, a garden and a koi pond, on a chunk of earth floating in the stars.

One night I try and get there and I can't for what ever reason. Instead I went to this tropical rainforest place. There was a massive water fall, lush trees on the river bank. Each night it just got bigger, and bigger and bigger. So we're at universe size now, and the refugees from the Pacific Empire are living on the planet Kastev, which is inhabited by gods who gave the natives, who look like elves, magical powers that keeps them in a medieval level of technology and I turn into a dragon and fuck shit up.

The funny thing is, on this particular world the gods are using their powers to subdue the natives which I'm not happy with, but as I'm technically a god in this world I'm kind of doing the same. The universe is kind of just it's own entity, but I do get allegories for situations in my waking life happening in it.

And that's my experience with dreams, and how I met mai waifu.

It's actually interesting that Helen is another name they give Lilith.

 

[Pebblig]

The worst dream I ever had was where I was chased down by a cow as I was walking away from a picnic towards the toilets. This cow started chasing me, so I was sprinting as fast as I could away from it and jumped into a nearby lake to try and get away. The cow however, jumped in on top of me and drowned/crushed me.

It sounds stupid, but I woke up thinking I was dead all sweaty and nearly in tears haha, then I realised that I wasn't dead since I had woken up.

This happened about 10 years ago and I can't be in the same field as a cow without being terrified now.

Holy

Shit

Holy

beautiful friendship

fuck you captcha

Holy

Shit.

... That's awesome.

I have dreams almost every day, but I don't really record them so they slip away very quickly. If I have something to contribute sometime soon I might come back.

Unless Zhukov writes down more shit like that, then I'll just sit here and pretend there's a campfire nearby.

You just reminded me of a dream I had like 8 years ago. It was supposed to be a sex dream about a coworker, but she wouldn't have sex before marriage. So I ended up dreaming a 3 year relationship with her, we got married...

And my fucking alarm clock went off right when it was finally sexy times.

Can't even remember her name now, or what she looked like. Just remember she looked a lot like the brunette in Cabin Fever.

Was it anything like Journey?

 

[Lieju]

My dreams are so fucked up half the time I wouldn't want to be lucid dreaming.

If you were, though, you could escape the dream or fight back.

On the subject of horrible dreams, though, where it doesn't help...

I lost someone close to me few years ago, and afterwards I had dreams where her dying had been the dream and she'd come back home the way she used to, asking me why I had been sad.
I'd be so happy, sitting with her on our back-yard in the sun, enjoying the perfect summer day, and then little by little start realising it was just a dream, but wanting to believe otherwise, until I woke up to reality.
I have had some pretty bad nightmares, but those happy dreams were the worst, because of how I felt when waking up.
