My only control seems to be, very difficult, if I point my head to the left or right, I can shift slowly that direction. As if I have been fired out of a very powerful cannon, and I can barely seem to adjust my direction. Usually this ends with me pointed at the Earth, at extremely high speeds, and into crowds of screaming people. I've woken up after hitting the ground and seeing dirt and rock spewing around my vision.

I mention this in Lucid Dreams as opposed to normal dreams, because I feel like I'm actually (but terribly) controlling my direction, it's a reoccurring dream, and i feel like I have just the tinyest more control after each subsequent flying dream, although it's been quite a while since my last one. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265382#Comment_265382 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265382#Comment_265382 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 01:02:34 -0700 Vox Doom

my lucid keys or 'markers' or whatever were when everything would look lit up but electricity (usually light switches) didnt work at all. when i realized it, i would attempt to do a lot of weird shit and sometimes i just couldnt concentrate enough for it to work right. i had a lot of techniques to circumvent this, but its long and hard to explain.

unfortunately, i have to take the good with the bad: the happier i am in life and the less i abuse my body, i have less and less lucid dream episodes as well as the nigth terrors. it evens out i guess? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265461#Comment_265461 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265461#Comment_265461 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 12:14:45 -0700 kevinmellon
I love dreaming, but I don't know that I'd want more "control." I rather like the notion that the stories I create/go through in my dreams could percolate through to stories I make IRL. I've had several full-plot dreams that I've managed to get some decent stories/outlines from. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265506#Comment_265506 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265506#Comment_265506 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 16:30:16 -0700 Stoto
On a sidenote, I have no idea what the technique might be. This is harder to articulate and therefore sounds a bit (more) mental but I realised the other day that trying to stay in between states, induces a similar feeling to trying to force your eyes to roll into the back of your head.

I've not managed to do anything fantastic yet, it's hard enough not to wake up. Possibly this is not 'lucid dreaming' but something most people experience when on the verge of wakefulness.

The above is very different to what I used to think lucid dreaming was. As a child, I found ways to escape nightmares.
For example, if I closed my eyes in my dream, my real eyes would open. As this became less effective over time I discovered that if I killed myself in my dream, I would wake up. And if I wouldn't wake up at least I would respawn in a safe place. I vividly remember a dream where, I was banging my head on a table, which wasn't working, so I smashed a bottle and dug it into my wrists, which still didn't work. These days I'm a bit more sophisticated and can manage to escape most horrors by jumping head first out of buildings.

Despite how in control I feel at times, my friend tells that I am not in fact lucid dreaming but dreaming that I'm lucid dreaming. I find that equally plausible and fascinating.

Re: What time do they take place.
Usually when I oversleep. My ham-fisted theory is that the part of my brain that needs rest is recharged and can therefore expend energy on dreaming, or at least remembering dreams. For instance, if I'm really knackered, I rarely have memorable, vivid dreams. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265883#Comment_265883 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=265883#Comment_265883 Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:33:06 -0700 Cat Vincent Britain's leading authority on dreaming said that the incidence of lucid dreaming seems to have increased over the last few years. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=266267#Comment_266267 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=266267#Comment_266267 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 18:16:38 -0700 Jarreddo
Such a strange way to wake up. I always figured waking up would always happen suddenly, and I wouldn't be able to fight it. This time though, I was struggling with all my might. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=266781#Comment_266781 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=266781#Comment_266781 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 06:36:33 -0700 Vornaskotti
Lucid dreams sound way cool, but after a while they turn out to be kind of pointless. I'll rather go with the flow. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=266788#Comment_266788 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=266788#Comment_266788 Tue, 26 Oct 2010 07:17:16 -0700 keyofsilence
There's a trick you can do to stay in a dream that I read about (although I haven't had a chance to test it) recently - basically, spin in a circle. I find that rubbing my arms works too, although I have absolutely no idea why.

I'm quite good at lucid dreaming. In my latest lucid dream I decided to try out super strength. Before I realised I was dreaming I was being chased by some people with weapons. As soon as I clicked, I turned around and let one of them hit me over the head with a sword. The sword snapped in half and I picked the guy up and threw him about 20ft upwards into the side of a building. I punched another one through a wall. Good times! ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=267338#Comment_267338 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=9054&Focus=267338#Comment_267338 Fri, 29 Oct 2010 14:22:27 -0700 Mickierat
Oddly enough, sometimes I can still fly in my dreams, but every time it happens, I swear that I'm actually awake and it's totally reasonable to be flying around in my everyday life.
