+gsa9online OMG YES! I remember like a year or so ago I thought I was actually lucid dreaming and I fucking know I was, then in the dream I was peeing and I felt really weird as if it was real. Then as I'm peeing I just wake up and I'm covered in piss, and the funny thing is I couldn't even move when I was peeing.
Lucid dreamer here. I have been for about 25 years. I started at 13 when I kept a dream journal by my bed. In the middle of the night I'd wake up and go to the bathroom and jot down what I was dreaming about. Soon I begin to not even need the journal and always remembered my dreams when I woke up. They feel like memories of things I've done in reality. During the dream, I am quite aware I'm dreaming. I've done so many experiments in my dreams to explore dreams. I've told people in my dreams that they were apart of my dreams before, I've kept myself asleep during a fall to see what would happen if I hit the ground while sleep. Just crazy stuff :)
+Dreighen One of my favorite dreams was me with a native american tribe, and all of the young men were going through a rite of passage tests, I followed them through all of these dangerous trials, and the chief at the end of the dream had a 1 on 1 talk with me, it felt so surreal as it if was real and I was astro-projecting there.
+Dreighen I lucid dream and it's really cool, it only started happening quite recently. Does anyone know why it is that your whole body jolts when you fall in your dream?
infrieser love how everyone uses the inception joke lol. Inception doesnt mean something inside of something. Inception: the establishment or starting point of an institution or activity. "she has been on the board since its inception two years ago" So your dreamception would mean they just started dreaming and not a dream inside another dream.
In my dream once, I looked down at my desk and realised that it was different. After a few minutes of sitting there, I came to the conclusion that I was in a dream. Then I woke up :/
vigilantecow I think it's the sudden activation of awake like consciousness. Your brain isn't normally in that state during a dream so your brain thinks it's time to wake up. Next time you realize you're dreaming try closing your eyes in the dream or doing some deep breathing. It tends to relax you and keep you from waking up as easily.
If your in a dream and you know you are then why wouldn't you want to wake up? I HATE dreams It's a waste of your time It takes away a third of your life for " " "recharging" I can't wait until the day comes where we don't ever need to sleep or we can at least create our dreams with other people actually in them while we sleep
I was attacked by a talking bear in a lucid dream once. I even remember that I hit it in the nose and then it froze. Then it said "Do you really think that hurt?" then started chasing me. Scariest crap ever.
In one dream, I remember I was at the YMCA and they sawed off one of my legs and I FELT IT (Not in a painful way, but it was like a penil stabbing my leg)
i wonder if I could so some inception shit and make my dream hours equal to seconds in real time. imagine being able to lucid dream for "years" in a night.
If you are lucid dreaming and you are aware that you're starting to wake up, look to the floor and spin around counter clockwise. This will generate a sort of hammock sensation and somehow keep you asleep.
I spun around once during a lucid dream to change my location and it worked. I sent myself to one of those picturesque beaches used for computer screen savers.
I wake up when I'm over controlling my dream. So when I feel waking up I just look on the ground or on the wall, a place where there is no much detail.
I don't enjoy dreaming because they tend to be only nightmares so I get little sleep. But if I can get those advantages if i can master lucid dreaming, then i think i can manage to fight a few demons.
Our own little 3d world Be ready for some stress on your heart. I've had a semi lucid dream where I was running from something really scary, then I thought "what am I doing? I haven't even seen this thing yet." (my curiosity overrode my fear) When I turned around to look at it, I remember getting taken down and struggling with something much stronger than me, the details got a bit fuzzy here, at that time I woke up with moderate chest pains and difficulty breathing. I was 18 at the time and in very good shape, so any heart problems where out of place.
Our own little 3d world one of the few times I lucid dreamed it was during a nightmare. I thought to myself, if this is a nightmare I could probably make it the most terrifying thing ever... and IT WAS, but I really didn't have control I just kind of thought "this could be scarier" and it started to be way scarier. Though, since I knew I was in a dream it was scary in the way a movie might be so in a weird way I enjoyed it.
If you think nightmares are bad that shit is a peice of cake compared to sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is when the body wakes up before the mind so you are literally paralyzed and you have optical and audial hallucinations. And you get the feeling that Death himself is sitting on your chest strangling you with his bonney clutches. I once scared my family because they caught me violently jerking my neck from side to side mumbling the word help. You develop a genuine fear of sleep for days on end but I'm lucky because I'm a heavy sleeper so very few things can keep me from getting my sleep.
Our own little 3d world PTSD, certain substance withdrawal, and other things can cause this, seeking mental health professionals can potentially help. You shouldn't have so many nightmares you're not getting enough sleep so hopefully you will find relief. Good luck!
+Charles McLain (WitheredSaturn4) one time I dreamed that I woke up in my bed (turns out I was still sleeping) and I could not move. Only thing is I didn't feel like someone/something was trying to strangle me. Would you think this is something similar to sleep paralysis or just my brain playing tricks on me?
Triggering lucid dreams is pretty easy for me. Since I'm paralyzed anytime I dream that I'm walking I know it's a dream. But the hard part is staying in the dream. I read that lucid dreaming too much is also bad because your body isn't getting the real rest that it needs. Maybe that shock that wakes you up when you realize you're dreaming is a defense mechanism?
+max3zizo Sleep paralysis, presumably. It happens to me a lot. Sometimes when I'm partially wake and can't move, I will see a black faceless figure hovering over me. It's creepy shit, but it's just an hallucination.
lucid dreaming is soo easy, I can control my dream completely, imagination growing up was by far the best, I have moments were I would look at a car on the motorway and I would see it crash, physically and sound but it didn't happen all a dream lol. I can also replay movies as such in my head aswell as create one and then when I go back to bed I can continue were I left off. I'v had time were I have lucid dreamed actually it happens alot were I would think about a certain place I want to be even if I haven't been there and I would have day ja vu, or I'll wake up thinking I owned something or was somewhere else. first time it happened I freaked out. now it's amazing in collage I can sit there and daydream from were I left off in my past dream
Wow! I have been doing this for many years, had no vlue what it was called or that it even had a name. When I'm dreaming I'm very aware that I'm on a dream, I'll even say to others in the dream that this is just a dream to not worry if something is about to happen. If for some Eason I wake up and was having a really cool dream I can go back to sleep and go back into the dream I was having, not the exact same spot but the same dream. I used to have a dream, the same dream over 20 years, I was trying to get to the roof of an old multi story building and people where trying to stop me. Every time I had the dream I would remember where the people where hiding from the last time I had the dream. Every time I had the dream I would get further to the roof of this building till one day 20 plus years later I did, never had the dream since. Some crazy stuff for sure.
There have only been a few times in my life that I knew I was dreaming. 1. The first instance I was dreaming that I was in some kind of skate park, which is weird because I don't skate. Then someone gave me "weed resses cups" and I ate them, which again is weird because I don't do that sort of thing. The next thing I remember is I began to run, but I was running in slow motion. That's when it occurred to me I was dreaming. I tried to start banging sexy chicks, but I woke up soon after. 2. The second time I remember it being a nightmare. I was in this haunted house and there were all kinds of disembodied voices and ghosts or spirits messing with me. I remember being very freaked out. I could see ghosts floating in and out of the walls. Then some how, I realized I was dreaming and I remember saying, "Oh, this is just a dream." So, I calmly closed my eyes and then told myself to wake up. I repeated this until I actually woke up. 3. Third time was the craziest dream of them all that I had. I remember being totally aware the entire time. It's like I was half awake and half asleep. I flew all over the place. I dived into the ocean when there wasn't one around for what seemed like miles. Everything was super clear. I swam under water without feeling the need to breath. There were all kinds of fish swimming around me. Then I launched myself into space and looked down on the earth and it looked so cool. I was completely unafraid. Then I looked at the sun I decided to fly into it. I was there in seconds. After that I came back down to earth and this is where it started to seem more like a random dream. There were these big ass cartoon looking beavers and I was trying to whack them with a stick for some reason. Finally, I knew it was nearly 8:30 pm and I told myself, "it's almost time to get up and get ready for work, so I better open my eyes now." And I did, and it was 8:27 pm when I looked at the clock.
One of the ways I've learned to tell if I'm dreaming is to check the light switches. Light levels don't change in your dreams, so if you turn on the lights and the room doesn't get brighter, you're probably dreaming. I learned this trick from the film _Waking Life._
I disagree. You really just don't have any awareness. Not blackness. That's like a person being born blind saying all they see is blackness. I have blind friend and he doesn't even know what it means.
It usually happens to me about once a month, but believe it or not, just the act of reading books about lucid dreaming before bed increases my chances of having a lucid dream. Although once you become aware of the dream then it is very easy to slip away from the dream and wake up which is why you must maintain contact with your surrounding in the dream. You can do this by clapping or spinning around in a circle helps me, but a couple times i almost slipped away from the dream but not completely almost where I felt my consciousness in both the dream and sleeping in my bed and I was able to push myself back into the dream. I used to have a dream journal but i was not diligent enough with it so i just eventually stopped recording everything. Executing reality checks on a regular basis is very helpful, mainly i just look at a digital clock twice and if its a dream then the second look will just be a bunch of weird symbols instead of numbers. I have been lucid dreaming for about 3 years now, so feel free to ask any questions.
+Lord of the Nerds I do not have complete omnipotence over everyone's free will in my lucid dreams which is sometimes frustrating like when there are a bunch of people in my way and I tell them to move out of my way because I do not have the time to dawdle on subconscious subordinates, then they very very slowly move out of my way. I don't want to be mean to them because I still see them as people although I know that they are only figments of my imagination. I can only succeed in the act of flying if I run and jump 3 times in a row, very similar to when Mario gets the wingcap in SuperMario 64 and you want him to fly. I played that game a LOT during my childhood so I guess that has something to do with why that is the only way I can fly. Changing my surroundings merely by willing it to change and moving large objects with my mind was always pretty easy in my dreams. I would say I have 2/3rd's of control over my lucid dreams in general. I remember that once I had a lucid nightmare in a dark mansion and Michael Myers was chain me around. I looked at a clock so I knew it was a dream but it was still scary. He kept chasing me until he slowed down and asked himself existential questions and he explained later to me that he was only chasing and killing people because he was frustrated with his life. At the end he killed himself by jumping off this really big swingset that was behind the mansion. Does this answer your question?
Jake Kinchen That's some seriously impressive control. I think I'm going to make that my ultimate goal, but he most control I've ever exerted over any of my dreams was changing the way some negative situation worked out (this typically happens in a dream that I don't necessarily want to have and I usually wake up soon after due to becoming more conscious of the dream). Even this bit of influence is limited for me, however. My subconscious usually makes up a rational excuse for the change rather than it just ending or changing instantly (or close to it) like I want it to. I think this is also my part personality surfacing as I don't much like unreasonable, irrational, illogical... things... in general. (Does anyone?) Question for you Jake Kinchen and all you other dreamers out there: Does your subconscious have to think of rational reason to change something in your dreams or does it just happen on the spot for you, no reason(s) needed?
luvyou baby so thats how i find out im dreaming..especially if im flying on my way to school cause that usually takes place in my lucid dreams...im only 13
Once I was dreaming and I told myself "I know this is not a dream. If it is, I'll wake up now." Well I didn't wake up at that moment, and continued believing that what was happening was reality.
One time I controlled my dream without lucid dreaming. There were cars driving on a narrow, windy two-way train track thing way up in the sky, and I simply thought, "What if one of them fell off?" The next car that drove by fell off, and no one but me noticed. I just looked away and went on with my business. Maybe I'm a psychopath. That's probably true. But it's very interesting.
I have had many of these dreams. Usually I'm in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation in my dream and I really want it to change or work out differently. If I want it bad enough then it changes. Usually this is followed by me becoming more conscious of the fact that I'm dreaming and I typically wake up to be done with dream because I don't like it. I'm going to work on taking more control of my dreams.
Fried Keenan I have dreams where I control things without being in a lucid dream. Like being able to have powers and shutting doors without touching them and moving stuff with magic, lol
I didn't start lucid dreaming until after my first experiences with sleep paralysis. It got so bad that it would keep from sleeping entirely. It would happen upwards of 5 times a night. It felt like my very own purgatory. (and that's coming from an atheist) After researching and finding out that it's a normal process in the sleep cycle, I became more comfortable with it and learned how to fight it off quicker. From there I was introduced to lucid dreaming. One dream that affected me the most: A large group of my family members (parents, siblings, uncles, etc.) were being chased by two armed and unseen figures in the middle of the night. My family and I ran into the first empty house we saw. The front door opened to a dining room area. We all sat on the floor hoping the two figures wouldn't find us. After a moment or two we could sense a presence at the front door. The two figures start to fidget with the door knob but it's locked. The room filled with a thick cloud of fear as we sat quietly. Eventually, two of my cousins built up the courage to go and combat the figures. They run to the door hyped up and ready for battle. They unlock the door and when they opened it... There was no one there. Confused, they walk out further as the door closes behind them. The rest of my family sat in dead silence for about 10-20 seconds before two loud bangs followed by more silence. Another short moment went by before the door knob starts to turn slowly. The door was unlocked this time. My remaining family starts panicking as I decided to circle around through the kitchen to catch the attackers by surprise. The panic crescendos as the door knob twists further. I was around the corner staring at the door and when it opened, I jumped out to attack. Again there was no one there. I froze in place because I felt a little off, and began to feel worse by the second. The room was suspiciously quiet. No one was at the door so I look back to assure my family, that we were okay for the moment. They were gone. All my loved ones vanished, I'm alone. I began to feel like I was being contacted by a strong divine power. It telepathically told me things. But there were no words... More like the feeling I felt before, amplified. And the presence eventually left. I woke from the dream world into reality knowing that it was all in my head. But I still felt the same feeling for the next few days.
As an engineer, I have gone to be with a problem and found a solution in my sleep. I remembered it in the morning, laid it out and everything worked. thus the phrase "I need to sleep on it"
a friend of mine had almost the same experiment , he's a gamer , he was once stuck in a game he didn't know the pass phrase to pass the level . he slept normal without even thinking of the game then he had the dream of playing the same game , the same level , and he was able to figure out the pass phrase inside the dream , he woke up after that and he tried what he still remembers and it worked . crazy
I had a dream where my grandma had died and I was visiting her grave to find that her killer was waiting for me and I was so angry and sad at the same time that in my dream I became Super Sayian and I woke up feeling hot and my eyes watering . When I looked at my clock it was turned off aswell as the entire neighborhood but no storm or anything wrong with maintenance. My neighbors said they heard some one screaming (me) and then the power went out. Do I have a weird power or was it a coincidence ( this happened when I was little but not as drastic as the one I just wrote)
I can lucid dream a few times a week on average. The funniest part is, while in the dream, leaning in real close to my friends or coworkers and telling them that they aren't real and that they are going to die when I wake up. That always make me laugh.
Tammy Time Can you please send me your technique?? I've had one lucid dream and it was one of the best things I've ever experienced and I want to again.
popaj116 Samuel Lemmon It's nothing crazy of a technique. I don't go out of my way to try to have them, they just kinda happen. Trace covered the methods that I guess I used. I just notice that I am in a dream and then I become self aware and I can do things. I've rarely had the type where I can control everything like a god. Mostly just the ones where I have power over my own body and often I can force the influences of other people around me. I guess the most important part obviously becoming self aware. I have no real tips for how to make that happen. I just kinda do it. I don't know how.
speaking about dreaming I woke up this morning and i check the time it was 6:59 and then i check about 15 seconds later It changed to 6:53 This is not a joke What happening please
You are having a dream bcoz it is also an easy way to check that you ar dreaming or not when you look time in your dream you says okk and then again you see clock and it shows the past tym you are dreaming
I get that too. Right before I wake up, I think I'm in my room and I check the time. Then later, I check the time again and it's different. How I know that what I'm looking at is actually real the second time is that I have the ability to actively feel my muscles move
I was lucid dreaming for what seemed like forever. I was walking through a darkish forest, like it was a little bit before twilight. I tried to wake up but I couldn't. Then I came to the edge of a clearing, and my house was there. I went inside and started to read a book, the first few pages made sense, but then it seemed like the words were swimming around the page. The whole time this was happening, there were quiet voices whispering, but they weren't ominous or scary, just kind of sad. I went around my house, the forest, and the city for what felt like eternity. One day I laid in a clearing in the forest under the stars just starting to relax, when suddenly there was a bright flash of light. I woke up in a bed but it was not my own. The doctors told me that I flew through the windshield after the crash and landed in a field, breaking my leg when I hit the ground. I was in a coma for three months. I'll never forget the time I spent in my dreams. It felt like forever but three months dreaming? I'm glad I wasn't in a nightmare.
If you think about doing lucid dreaming enough you will, I used to do it everynight. Now some other really awesome things about lucid dreaming not mentioned in this video is you can totally manipulate your dream, you can kind of force things to happen, it might sound hard to do by reading this, but once your in the dream and aware, youll find it easy to control, and you know what that means... some nice... "sports" so to speak to "play" with your crush you will probs never get. Also, another little fact is (and science has already confirmed this not sure if trace vcovered this yet) that people who game frequently can often take control of their actions in night mares and turn it from a nightmare to a sort of... game, and kickass and fight back. Actually it doesnt always work, the worst nightmare I had, which was about 4 months ago now I think, couldnt be avoided, I dreamt of me and my father being torn to bits in a suicide bombing and I watched him suffer with no legs etc. and lookin down at my fleshy stumps for legs feeling actual pain, it was the worst, I was really sad that day.
Lord Vader "play" with your crush you will probs never get." I've been able to play a lot with fictional women, but when I tried to get my crush, she seemed off, her hair was not right and everything else was just a little off, so it creeped me out.
+Lord Vader very nice, although I really don't give a shit about gamers all I care about is the people, talent and its creation and the practical educational application and separating the wheat from the chaff once it is determined that playing games is not a persons forte it should be only a hobby a time to relax after a hard days work. Finally someone who has experienced a lucid dream Denny Crane the best sex is in a lucid dream, especially for those who have physical limitations, which usually end up in my case a wet dream and here we are Noam Choamsky Reset the Ultimate Rem, problem with this situation is that it requires tremendous energy that's why its unsustainable. But when you imitate the bear even at my best trying so hard I was only able to sustain it for 3 minutes anything more would be coma. And I know that was hibernation imagine if I could find the energy source sugar fuck it that's weak it is not available in nature except in very toxic haa but no more enough of that humanity is not ready...Now we come to the most important part I used to think you where kidding when you mentioned the gut but seeing the vidoes of cut chicken head that survive for a year I think your really a very dangerous person cause you actually believe Reset the Ultimate Rem happened times like this I wish smart people just have as much imagination as Jon Stewart. Still my aim is to be able to have a lucid dream worshipping my goddess Jennifer Lawrence, so just in case you want to pursue this experiment case I usually don't trust this video chickens seem very hard to believe lets try with cockroach kill it without squashing slowly from experience try Bygon the right amount so that a part of its brain is rotten after two weeks when I clean underneath my bed it still alive laying there and kicking trying to get away. now if you can recreate that horizons will be opened. Still chances are hopefully you won't succeed because your a very dangerous man still maybe you'll come up with something that I can maybe use to get my lucid Jennifer Lawrence Dream. Oh yeah the reset the Ultimate Rem no lucid dream could occur I was busy enough just to sustain it was instinct but using imagination would require huge source of energy.Donald Trump: Trump 2015 Do you believe any of this shittt!!??? Still once thing is for sure Noam Chomsky is one of the horsemen of apocalypse.
+Tom Woods maybe because you didn't imagine her well in your dream, so when you saw her you didn't recognize her entirely since some details from her must have been changed when you dreamt of her :D
Believe me or not, weird shit happened to me before,i was kinda lucid dreaming which I was really boring in dream and decided to wake up,some how I took my mother's phone, called my phone that is next to me and I woke up from alarm O_o
I tend to go lucid whenever something angers or frightens me. I usually become indignant because it's *my dream* and flip out with pretty much super powers. No flying but I can jump about 5 stories high. :P
Gam Bon And when you pick up a weapon it falls apart or won't work? I dreamt once that an eagle stole my pillow and I flew after him but just like in old cartoons I had the thought that I did not know how to fly and lost the ability. :P Also: screw eagles
Gam Bon Same. My friend once tried to get me to play a table top RPG called Champions, where you invest points into super powers. being a douche I demanded to invest every point in JUMPING to create the super-hero... BOING! 100% face. >.> I'm a douche. :'(
That will usually happen to me as well. I will only recognize I'm dreaming if I am in danger within that dream. I'll usually give myself superpowers like telekinesis and super strength, flight, or the power to just move the earth into whatever I want. Most of the time, I end up just picking up whatever is chasing me with telekinesis and I squish it/them.
+ThePoptartster i find that (atleast for me) telling yourself that you can do anything once you've realized you're dreaming and try to do these thing it will happen. i remember being at my school once. to me it seemed normal but as soon as i left the campus i realized i was dreaming and thought well I can do whatever now. And I flew. started going towards home (: not even for a whole block though, as i woke up soon after
I can consistently control my dreams, even if I have a nightmare, which is really the only time when I interfere with it. Other than that I let the dream run, but I am aware of the dream at all times. When I have a nightmare I usually say to myself OK stop, and everything freezes and everything goes white, as if it where a blank canvas, and a knew dream starts up. Sometimes I just say OK, let's change this, and I go back a few minutes before something bad happens, and I stop it from happening because I've already seen how the nightmare plays out.
Trace, where in the world did you get your info, because you're a bit off. I'm a natural lucid dreamer, which means that I've had multiple instances before I knew what they were or how to improve them. So I speak from experience (and the research I've done through the years), when I say that you can absolutely control every aspect of your dreams. It's hard work, you risk waking up and you can't solve "reality check" problems, but you can definitely do it. For example, I've visited the moon, where I needed to do extensive adjustments to gravity, because my brain had no frame of reference. Of course, it's much easier to descent deeper into the dream, thereby letting it do the bulk of the work, while you just edit whatever happens to move the story in an awesome direction. This has landed me in awesome conversations with dead, living or impossible people whom I've never met in the real world, not to mention on crazy adventures and onto the surface of alien worlds. And as for nightmares, those are exactly the thing that is solved by greater control. In the dreamworld, I've saved family and friends dozens of times, because nightmare forced me to be lucid. I've deleted nuclear explosions barreling towards them, healed them with the snap of a finger, turned monsters into cute animals and even made a demonic army apologize. And in case anyone is wondering, I lucid dream about half of the time I sleep... Without using reality checks or timed external stimulation. My goal is to make it my brains norm. 😊
Henrik Rohde He's not necessarily wrong. My experience with lucid dreaming is similar to yours. I've gone as far as designing an entire environment just by thinking it, altering details of a room down to the type of wallpaper or propelling myself through a thought-up wormhole. But before I could do that, when I first realized I could lucid dream, I would try to conjure up a real life person and end up with 100 strangers with no faces who are trying to kill me with various weapons. I had many, many iterations of this as a teen before I learned to control those aspects (and not just die and wake up). I think Trace is accurate when he said "psychological discomfort". That's what it was, but it was also a challenge for me. I imagine some might shy away after so many negative experiences.
I remember my dream from forever ago... And it was a good dream before I knew I had insomnia and I know how to control my dreams whenever I can sleep but it is always bad.
My tip on how to know you are dreaming is to ask yourself: am i dreaming? And then if you just did that you know that you are dreaming because you won't ask yourself that question when you are awake cause then it's so obvious that its not a dream. For example ask yourself if you are dreaming right now as you are reading this, it's pretty obvious right? So if you are not sure that you are in a dream you probably are although it will sometimes be hard to realise or convince yourself that it's a dream because it's going to feel so real although if it is real you would never ask yourself that question as i said earlier. I've lucid dreamed many many times and that is my tip! Have a nice day!
If you don't ask the question while awake, then why would you ask the question while asleep. If the difference between awake and asleep is so obviously apparent to you then why even ask the question at all?
CreepyCat It's not obvious that it's a dream while you are asleep so if you wonder if it's a dream then it is, the only problem is that you don't always get that thought.
When i was little I could lucid dream all the time. Now i have lucid dreams about once a month. If somone is having problems with nightmares you can try to kick yourself out of a bad dream before it happens. This is how: try to be aware once in a dream then just think logically that this bad thing cannot hurt you because it is not real. Then try to move as fast as you can, run, jump, punch, just move until you can make your real self move and wake. Once you mastered these you can use a dream journal as said in the video and remember how a bad dream started. This could be you walking alone at night, going into a small space or walking into a empty room with a stranger. Then you can stop it before it even happens.
but that's what he's saying he was aware of it being dream I heard once (don't know if that's true or not) that you're dreams are not made up and so controlled by memories but by emotions which kind of makes sense to me in combination with your experience since that would mean you were dreaming fear and your mind just imagined a "story" or "situation" to that emotion so no mater how aware you are or how much you control the "plot" you will still feel the emotion this dream is brought up by... (could be complete bulls**t ^^)
popaj116 i force myself into sleep fast enough to continue conscious of that. Its very real and normally scary in the beginning. This made me tough to nightmares as well, most of them.
Next time you realise you're dreaming, stop being scared and remind yourself that you're in control. It's all in your mind and whatever is scaring you can't hurt you. Look the dream characters in the eye and ask what it represents. You never know, they might turn friendly and if this has been a recurren nightmare, they might stop in future. Good luck🙂
When I was younger I lucid dreamed a lot and it gave me anxiety too, so usually what I did to wake myself up was roll my eyes up as far as possible. It sounds weird but it worked for me many times.
+Bintang Sang H And an other way is, not to think "Oh! I'm dreaming" but just try to ignore that you are aware of dreaming and try to calm down letting the dream continue without you controlling it. but slowly with the time you realize, that you can't get hurt. For example by jumping down somewhere. but don't try to interact with people or objects, because then you have to concentrate yourself too much and you wake up. (That's how i did it most of the time.)
last year I a head a very vivid dream.I remember that I was on a parking lot and I knew It was dreaming because the next thing that happened was that I was inside the bestbuy store. I was starting to feel aware of my surroundings and I keep thinking is this a dream. I started looking at the objects around me and I walk to this section where they have the cameras 📷 on display I was thinking to myself "if I'm dreaming I shouldn't be able to pick this camera and feel it weight or its texture" but i actually felt it, then I was getting freak out idk why. next thing I did was look at price and the price was $485 canon 25 Mp and full 1080p. then I woke up laying down on the parking lot (the one from the beginning) then 1 sec later I wake up again. one of the best dreams I ever had
I had a dream that I caught a pikachu. I didn't use a pokeball though. it was in some strange parking lot too... I forgot what the cars were like and everything but I remember chasing the little guy around a lot before I woke up.
I've had it where scenarios have played out the exact way as in my dream sometimes weeks and sometimes months to maybe a year in advance. it is a very strange and surreal experience for sure.
Once, i was aware of the fact that i was dreaming and it was the weirdest thing ever. So i had to walk somewhere, but it was across the ocean. There was no atmosphere, so above me were stars and the sun shining in my face. On both sides of me were people standing. I'm talking about MILLIONS of people. I didn't look them directly in the face but they were there watching me. (I was sure it was the entire human population, which is quite impossible but i was fully convinced it was). They were all talking, creating so much noise all together it hurt my ears. It started to hurt so bad, and while i was telling myself that this wasn't real and i had to open my eyes, i fell through the ground and woke up in my bed. I've never had a dream like that before, being fully aware that i was dreaming
Hey Trace, I had some rather interesting experiences that I would call moments of controlling the dream. I could bend them with my will/thought. One time, in the midst of a dream I took control. This is what happened. In my dream I was looking out my front window of my house, watching something outside. I realized I was dreaming and thought, I wonder if I could make the house fly? I then just thought "house lift up and fly" it happened. Then with my mind I could control it in the sky! After flying it for what seemed like 30 minutes and looking over my home town from the sky I awoke. I was blown away at how cool this was. I was just controlling a house, in the sky, like an aircraft. Boss. I know I know, crazy sounding. Just imagine a 1200 square foot house flying 100-1000 foot over your house. I honestly could not make this up if I wanted to. Now I would also like to make the following statements: - no, I was not deathly ill. - no, I was not under the influence of any narcotics or alcohol ( I was 10 years old at the time) - I was not under any life stresses. nor had any medical conditions. bonus: These types of dreams happen about once a month. I am in my 30's now. still happens. I like the ones where I realize that I am dreaming, and then think, okay time to abandon whats going on and just fly up and around. Sometimes Superman style, last dream I was on my mountain bike, then realized I was dreaming and just thought let see if I can make this fly, then up it went! Tip: I also use this method in my dreams to tell if i am indeed dreaming: In my dream if i have to pee, and even after peeing I still have to pee, I am indeed dreaming.... also would like to say, never wet the bed, just awoke with mad case of "gotta pee like a race horse".
I used to wake myself up from nightmares by telling the characters within my dream that I'm able to wake up after three blinks of my eyes. Now, I'm not quite sure if that's a lucid dream or not.
Someone help! Okay so I've been wanting to be able to get lucid dream and I think almost had one cuz it started off a friendly conversation with a group of friends then I suddenly was in another location. I realised i was dreaming and proceeded to do something extreme( can't tell you what it is). I was to excited that I woke up. How do you stop being excited in a dream?
Maxio Lpio as far as what has happened to me I think he was trying to have sex I did try that the sensation was overwhelming(lot better than masturbation) and I couldn't keep my eyes open my closed and if I keep it open for too long I wake up and soon I woke up
Apparently I actually am a lucid dreamer and I didn't even know it! This is really cool. I feel like an idiot for not realizing I've been lucid dreaming all my life!
This is really interesting. I've never looked into how to lucid dream but I have done all of these things for as long as I remember. I do lucid dream. Infact, as a teenager I felt very confused about the way I experienced and remembered dreams vs. my peers. I started with a fondness of dreams and also my want to stop having nightmares as a child. I had a series of noises I would make/ continue from the last point and if I couldn't make them correctly, I was dreaming. Later in life it was things like dialing a phone number and not being able to hit the right keys or driving a car and not being able to control the wheel. Then I began the practice of waking and going back to sleep to continue my dreams when I was a teenager, dreaming of a crush and avoiding an alarm clock. Now as an adult who has been lucid dreaming for years, I have started to venture even further with my dreaming and I'm not sure if there's much research on it, I am about to look into it, I have actually been successful in visiting other people's dreams. I suppose I would call what I am working on "Dream sharing" and "Dream observing" It requires certain conditions and I'd be glad to discuss it or lucid dreaming with anyone who may be interested. :)
Louis Aguirre ive had sleep paralysis twice the first time i had some dream i was in a city centre, i was near a cash machine then i suddenly emerged from the dream, still with the image and thought of the dream in my head, with my face buried in my pillow struggling to breath. i panicked because i could breathe but it soon went and i just got up. the second time was wierd, i had woken up earlier than usual to do a few things when i decided to go back to sleep for another half hour. i kept waking up after 5 mins and going straight back to sleep. after one time, i felt myself waking up so i tried to stay on the border of being awake and not. This was a bad idea because it caused me to not be able to move, i opened my eyes to a dark room(considering it was moderately bright outside) then closed my eyes again and my knee started rising to my chest, which i had no control over. i tried calling for mum cos i could hear her walking around but all i could do was let out a tight breathe, my mum then opened the curtains and i could straight away move. this really creeped me out cos it was an instant moment of releif.
I've only gone lucid dream like 3 times I have a tip.. in IRL try to make a knife and keep trying till u get it than u will know ur in a dream that's how I did it😂
That is one of my recurring nightmares I end up in a boiler room. Running through a maze of pipes and boilers I always take a turn, (I can never go another way) and suddenly I fall in a hole that has no end.
Great video. Thank you! I love lucid dreaming and it totally is the bliss that you mentioned other people taking about!!! I read in a book about dreaming that if one technique for lucid dreaming is to look at a certain part of your body right before you go to sleep, like your hand, and tell yourself "when I look at my hand in my dream, I will know that I'm dreaming." That hasn't worked for me yet (haven't tried it in years though) but when I've done it it's made for very vivid non-lucid dreams that I remember.
You are posting a comment to share something but instead of making it easy to understand, you use big words to sound smart... That's so annoying! I don't want to do a Google search to understand your comment! Y U DO DIS
Lucid dreaming is the BEST! I feel like I could do anything! I've done it 4-5 times in my 14 years of living, so far. My first one was the day I saw a video about dreams, and they mentioned lucid dreaming. Out of no where, I suddenly became aware in that dream I had that night. I was then in my house, and the first thing that came into my mind was how you could control it. The first thing I "ask" for is: A Unicorn (IDK why, I think I was testing it). My last one so far was quite recent, and I again "asked" for a Unicorn, because thats how I know I'm dreaming. I feel so happy after those dreams. I really need to start a dream journal, too!
When you first learn how to "control" your dreams, it takes a little concentration. But, when you get better at it, it's easy. If you focus, you can will whatever you want in your dreams. Start off by trying to create a tennis ball, or something. Don't look at your hand; just know that it's there then toss it. If you're in a bind--like if there are "monsters" chasing you--you can either think of another setting, or use telekinesis to push them away or crush them. Yeah, nightmares hate it when I come around.
When I was younger I came across this whole lucid dreaming thing. A few years ago we couldn't find so much on it, seems as though people recently took an interest in it, that's good, more info to be found. ANYWAY, so, I tried it. Didn't work the first few times but one night, as I felt that drifting off feeling, I imagined a hamster running and running in his little hamster wheel, that reminded me "I'll lucid dream I'll lucid dream I'll lucid dream", his running repeated in my mind until I actually did start to dream. once I saw my surroundings I let the idea of the hamster fade away. I had made it in. I was in this huuuuge classroom with no one in it except me and an old lady sitting behind me. I turned around and asked her "is this a dream?" and she said "no". I sat up on my chair and said " if its not, I won't be able to fly", bounced a bit on that chair and took off. it was wonderful, you really can construct adventures. as I was flying I saw beautiful colorful fields down below and a train passing by. I was so excited. decided that I wanted to have contact with someone or something really nice, went down to this charming wooden house and peeked inside the window, there were the cutest little puppies play fighting, that's exactly the type of thing I wanted to see. something cute was just perfect. at the time I had a crush on a boy from the higher grades and as I watched the puppies I heard/felt/saw someone come down the stairs. I got so excited like "omg here he comes eeeeep!" that I woke up. have been trying to lucid dream again for years. never could ever again. not like that. sometimes I do notice that I can't dial someone's number (in a dream) or what I read makes no sense (in a dream I was trying to call the police but the numbers kept changing to 912 901 and I couldn't figure out what the number was)and still don't realise its a dream. will keep trying.
the part about saying to yourself that you can control your dreams, it works for me if I say it a couple of times right before I go to sleep or lay down, when I want to lucid dream. also think it while you're trying to fall asleep, just keep thinking until you can't stay awake, that's the most helpful part for me, but he is right about nightmares as well, a couple of times I could alter the dream from the setting, I could pull my friends into the dream, or just make it about whatever I want. though when I was able to realize I was dreaming in a nightmare, it's actually still terrifying because I wasn't able to wake myself up, and basically couldn't die, but was tortured worse than the hostel movies, and after some time, I would heal and be tortured all over again. it has its ups and downs, but is definitely worth experiencing, hope this helps too.
The only time I had a lucid dream, I realized I wasn't supposed to be asleep but instead getting ready for work. And then magically I was at work. Except I was still dreaming, and the place was a nightmare, and I became totally lucid again, and ran around panicked trying to wake up. And then I woke up, and started getting ready... in my childhood bathroom... and then I woke up again. Eventually I actually woke up, wasn't even late for work. But everything felt totally surreal for a few days after.
Whoa I paused in the middle of this video and I thought I've been lucid dreaming ever since I was around 8 or even younger I'm now turning 12 and a couple of weeks and this is mind-blowing I have never caught myself any of these strategies I have never watched a video on lucid dreaming but you know that I can do it without any help or thought or lessons is crazy this is pretty much blowing my mind because most of the time when I'm Dreaming I'm aware of it I have nothing else to say this is crazy
When I was younger and had bad dreams, which I used to get quite a lot, I could tell if they were bad dreams - not sure how. The one thing I did that always worked was blinking slower than usual but not too slow and to repeat it, that somehow made me blink in real life and I woke up. Bit of a late comment glad if it helps people.
I totally thought lucid dreaming was making things happen.. But now you explain its when people know they're dreaming then I've been lucid dreaming all my life- every few dreams I know I'm dreaming and that I'm literally just watching a mind movie as one of the characters- and whenever I've tried to change it I woke up
Actually, no, the most isn't influencing the dream. You can become more skilled as you become more experienced in lucid dreaming, to the point where you are practically a god within the dreamworld. So yes, the degrees of control/influence in the dream after gaining awareness vary to BIG extents. From total, godlike control to no control but just awareness. This coming from a teenager with three-ish years of lucid dreaming, having approximately 30-ish lucid dreams in total, in some of which I had some control or little control, others I had no control, some I had a lot of control, a few I had total control. It just depends on experience and skill, young padawans.
I have had about 10 lucid dream experiences in my life they are always intense and have left me with a feeling of awe. I dont know what has triggered them but I always remember in my dream coming to a point where I say to myself "im dreaming". Then I have had free reign over anything I could imagine. Dreams of flying, dreams of crazy sexual experiences, literally able to conjure up anything that I want in what seems to be a moments notice. I was even able to change a nightmare one time when I came to the realization that I was dreaming. I haven't lucid dreamed in probably 5 years but most of my lucid dreams that I had occurred over a period of a year. I really think smoking weed has effected my ability to have these moments of realization.
I've occasionally had a lucid dream, my best by far was in a setting that was spliced between where I work and the town nearest to my home, when I became aware I was dreaming I tried to fly, it wasn't easy, I had to really focus, quite the mental workout, but i was able to float around my workplace and then eventually float around some of the landmarks in town, it was very beautiful, p.s. love your show :)
The way i always realize that i'm dreaming is when i can't run, and it causes me too feel panic, but i've been practicing how to get over that when i am in my dream.
The weirdest dreams I have had are where I can hear and see what's going on around me while asleep. Like, first I'll hear things going on in real life (i.e conversations or other noises. Different songs if I fall asleep listening to music, etc.) and sometimes I can see what's happening, like right up to the moment I wake up. It's trippy, and has happened quite a number of times, though not really often
I had a dream long ago that I was in a situation with my sister. We never agree on anything. In the first dream I argued and felt very bad, the second one I tried to reason with her and still felt bad a she would not agree with my opinion, in the third one I just did not react to the situation and all went well from then on. The strange thing was that I was actually in the situation in real life later and I remembered the dreams and decided not to react. It was a marvelous feelling that we did not argue. It was one of the most pleasant feelings of deja vu and chosing the least agressive position was the best way to get along with her. I rememberd that for the rest of her life. Made our lives much more sisterly.
I've done it quiet a few times, pretty much only when I'm having a nightmare, I've realized that what is happening isn't possible and that I am in fact in a nightmare and I've been able to wake myself up. I don't know how but once I realize I'm in a nightmare I have this overwhelming need to get out and just open my eyes and wake myself up.
I've had so many lucid dreams & tbh what works for me is practicing meditation, keeping in mind my intention that I WILL have a lucid dream tonight for example & just keep on repeating that thought & a dream journal!!! It's so amazing!! I've never had any nightmares so far tbh lol & OMG once u realize u are dreaming, it's such an incredible feeling !! TRY IT
the way I lucid dream is really a fighting my own movements in dreams, everything seems like it's so slow until I start doing a weird "jump running" where gravity is weak but sometimes I start to slide and fall which would wake me up, but if I work it right I could dream like i'm the hulk where running super fast and jumping really high
I've had 2 lucid dreams, one involved me looking at my hand like you said and it looked really weird but I woke up right away. The other I saw a plane crash outside my living room window, and then when I turned my head back to look I couldn't find any smoke from the crash. I realised I was dreaming and started jumping on the couch just astonished at how real it all felt.
My hands don't look any different in dreams. But yeah text tends to change, at one point it turned into total gibberish and even some symbols I've never seen before. A few other things I look for: 1. I can levitate. Almost all of my dreams allow me to levitate. (except for what could be premonitions, over which I have no control, and which seem to foretell what I will see a few minutes/hours in reality, after I wake up) 2. Small animals change species. A chicken can turn into a frog and then a turtle for example. 3. People in my dream tend to talk nonsense. 4. Unusual events happen. For example, one time I was in the house of a mafia family, and one guy was carrying an old man on the end of a long stick, and the old man was hanging from the stick by the neck of his shirt. I was thinking to myself, "Man, I dream some weird stuff sometimes..." 5. I can "spawn" people and even change perspectives (first person, 3rd person, and even become a different person or creature or switch places with ones in my dream). All I need to do is think about it. But sometimes my regrets can take the form of my dead grandparents, and as expected, my grandmother is still saying she is sad that I did not contact her one last time over the phone. 6. I can ask questions and my mind answers them. It usually tells me what inspired each dream (fears, wishes, regrets) and the story behind the events in the dream. So if I ask what happened before a moment in my dream, my mind tells me what I did in that world, or what happened in that world before I got at the point I am experiencing then. 7. The environment is... mashed up. A forest can lead to a city straight away. Tunnels with trains can run through a house. Weirdness overall, it's impossible to believe it's real.
DON'T USE THE BATHROOM IN UR DREAM, It's a trap!!
LMAO
i remember i did that once
the whole dream was just me pissing for like 5 minutes
...
that dream turned into a reality
+gsa9online OMG YES! I remember like a year or so ago I thought I was actually lucid dreaming and I fucking know I was, then in the dream I was peeing and I felt really weird as if it was real. Then as I'm peeing I just wake up and I'm covered in piss, and the funny thing is I couldn't even move when I was peeing.
I was doing a poo in my dream and...... well I think you know the rest.
FEAR gamer LOL
+FEAR gamer (FEARgamerXD) Holy shit yes....When I was young I dreamt of going to the toilet.
Not gooood
I checked the time it was 10:22pm. I checked again it changed to 10:23pm. I must be dreaming.
XD
same here, different time thou.
omg yes XD
The way I illusive dream I normally thin k of a dream that I remember before I go sleep
Stephen B. Smith wtf it's 10:22 here I'm dreaming
I once thought I was lucid dreaming so I tried to superman punch the wall.Turns out I wasn't dreaming...
*plot twist* that was a dream
Lol😂
Lol I thought I was lucid dreaming too but what I did is I stood on my bed and I jumped as high as i could and broke my arm
That's why you should always reality check 😌
+Raul Valdivieso Urdiales lmfao
Lucid dreamer here. I have been for about 25 years. I started at 13 when I kept a dream journal by my bed. In the middle of the night I'd wake up and go to the bathroom and jot down what I was dreaming about. Soon I begin to not even need the journal and always remembered my dreams when I woke up. They feel like memories of things I've done in reality.
During the dream, I am quite aware I'm dreaming. I've done so many experiments in my dreams to explore dreams. I've told people in my dreams that they were apart of my dreams before, I've kept myself asleep during a fall to see what would happen if I hit the ground while sleep. Just crazy stuff :)
+Dreighen One of my favorite dreams was me with a native american tribe, and all of the young men were going through a rite of passage tests, I followed them through all of these dangerous trials, and the chief at the end of the dream had a 1 on 1 talk with me, it felt so surreal as it if was real and I was astro-projecting there.
+Dreighen Sounds awesome man, the dream journal help to start lucid dreaming!
nope
I can remember my dreams to
+Dreighen I lucid dream and it's really cool, it only started happening quite recently. Does anyone know why it is that your whole body jolts when you fall in your dream?
Who is watching this in bed at night
I did not even sure why this video appeared in my suggested vids I haven't watched a vid about sleep ever.
that was supposed to say"I did, not sure why"
Eli Hunt me xD
I am
Eli Hunt yup
I once dreamt that I had a lucid dream. So I was in my dream, thinking I was lucid dreaming, but it was actually just a normal dream.
Zedric Ya that happened to me as well. Very weird feeling when you wake up from the dream.
Zedric dreamception
Zedric Or was it ?
infrieser love how everyone uses the inception joke lol. Inception doesnt mean something inside of something. Inception:
the establishment or starting point of an institution or activity.
"she has been on the board since its inception two years ago"
So your dreamception would mean they just started dreaming and not a dream inside another dream.
Zedric I had the same thing.....
In my dream once, I looked down at my desk and realised that it was different. After a few minutes of sitting there, I came to the conclusion that I was in a dream. Then I woke up :/
Hahaha maby your brain was like, what your not dreaming wake up😂😂
vigilantecow I think it's the sudden activation of awake like consciousness. Your brain isn't normally in that state during a dream so your brain thinks it's time to wake up. Next time you realize you're dreaming try closing your eyes in the dream or doing some deep breathing. It tends to relax you and keep you from waking up as easily.
If your in a dream and you know you are then why wouldn't you want to wake up?
I HATE dreams
It's a waste of your time
It takes away a third of your life for " "
"recharging"
I can't wait until the day comes where we don't ever need to sleep or we can at least create our dreams with other people actually in them while we sleep
+Dusk vex Haha yeah :D So right.
+Dusk vex I'd go back to sleep
But if I ever get the option I tend to wake up so I can change the dream
I got stabbed while lucid dreaming, scariest nightmare in my life.
I was attacked by a talking bear in a lucid dream once. I even remember that I hit it in the nose and then it froze. Then it said "Do you really think that hurt?" then started chasing me. Scariest crap ever.
wish that could happen to me irl
Morrigan Miller
omg I've had a VERY similar dream...wth
In one dream, I remember I was at the YMCA and they sawed off one of my legs and I FELT IT (Not in a painful way, but it was like a penil stabbing my leg)
awesomedude999978 one time i had a dream i feel off a cliff and i woke up on the floor
i wonder if I could so some inception shit and make my dream hours equal to seconds in real time. imagine being able to lucid dream for "years" in a night.
that'd be dope
giacchina that will be cool
giacchina "some inception shit..." 😂
Anna, Juste Anna that's the scientific term.
giacchina b that's deadass some inception shit my guy
If you are lucid dreaming and you are aware that you're starting to wake up, look to the floor and spin around counter clockwise. This will generate a sort of hammock sensation and somehow keep you asleep.
+Bini Shulman its funny I never woke up form a dream because I found out I was dreaming :/
I spun around once during a lucid dream to change my location and it worked. I sent myself to one of those picturesque beaches used for computer screen savers.
I wake up when I'm over controlling my dream. So when I feel waking up I just look on the ground or on the wall, a place where there is no much detail.
Bini Shulman Ended up I crashed my head into the wall -_-
Has anyone woken up from a twitch
I don't enjoy dreaming because they tend to be only nightmares so I get little sleep. But if I can get those advantages if i can master lucid dreaming, then i think i can manage to fight a few demons.
Our own little 3d world Be ready for some stress on your heart.
I've had a semi lucid dream where I was running from something really scary, then I thought "what am I doing? I haven't even seen this thing yet." (my curiosity overrode my fear) When I turned around to look at it, I remember getting taken down and struggling with something much stronger than me, the details got a bit fuzzy here, at that time I woke up with moderate chest pains and difficulty breathing.
I was 18 at the time and in very good shape, so any heart problems where out of place.
Our own little 3d world one of the few times I lucid dreamed it was during a nightmare. I thought to myself, if this is a nightmare I could probably make it the most terrifying thing ever... and IT WAS, but I really didn't have control I just kind of thought "this could be scarier" and it started to be way scarier. Though, since I knew I was in a dream it was scary in the way a movie might be so in a weird way I enjoyed it.
If you think nightmares are bad that shit is a peice of cake compared to sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is when the body wakes up before the mind so you are literally paralyzed and you have optical and audial hallucinations. And you get the feeling that Death himself is sitting on your chest strangling you with his bonney clutches. I once scared my family because they caught me violently jerking my neck from side to side mumbling the word help. You develop a genuine fear of sleep for days on end but I'm lucky because I'm a heavy sleeper so very few things can keep me from getting my sleep.
Our own little 3d world PTSD, certain substance withdrawal, and other things can cause this, seeking mental health professionals can potentially help. You shouldn't have so many nightmares you're not getting enough sleep so hopefully you will find relief. Good luck!
+Charles McLain (WitheredSaturn4) one time I dreamed that I woke up in my bed (turns out I was still sleeping) and I could not move. Only thing is I didn't feel like someone/something was trying to strangle me. Would you think this is something similar to sleep paralysis or just my brain playing tricks on me?
I hate that when you lucid dream, when you notice it, it just ends.
I share you're pain
same
Stay calm and you should be good
Triggering lucid dreams is pretty easy for me. Since I'm paralyzed anytime I dream that I'm walking I know it's a dream. But the hard part is staying in the dream. I read that lucid dreaming too much is also bad because your body isn't getting the real rest that it needs. Maybe that shock that wakes you up when you realize you're dreaming is a defense mechanism?
+max3zizo Sleep paralysis, presumably. It happens to me a lot. Sometimes when I'm partially wake and can't move, I will see a black faceless figure hovering over me. It's creepy shit, but it's just an hallucination.
No Sean, lol. I'm actually paralyzed. Yes Max, I was shot by a sniper in Iraq.
+Paulette S.
It's bad when it's most of your body
+Paulette S. I'm not paralyzed at all
But if most of my body was
Then fuck life
+Equipmxnt 115 lol exactly
Dreams are the coolest yet scariest things ever
As a person who has had the pleasure of being able to frequently lucid dream , the hardest part is not waking up or being woken up.
lucid dreaming is soo easy, I can control my dream completely, imagination growing up was by far the best, I have moments were I would look at a car on the motorway and I would see it crash, physically and sound but it didn't happen all a dream lol. I can also replay movies as such in my head aswell as create one and then when I go back to bed I can continue were I left off. I'v had time were I have lucid dreamed actually it happens alot were I would think about a certain place I want to be even if I haven't been there and I would have day ja vu, or I'll wake up thinking I owned something or was somewhere else. first time it happened I freaked out. now it's amazing in collage I can sit there and daydream from were I left off in my past dream
You have a complex imagination. Very lucky for you; enjoy it.
I've only been able to lucid dream once in my life😂 your so lucky
Happens to me all the time, it's can go really good like excellent or really bad and wake up and freak out because I'm somewhere I wasn't in the dream
Caleb Lunt well you can travel to anywhere you want and do anything defying science
exactly
Wow! I have been doing this for many years, had no vlue what it was called or that it even had a name. When I'm dreaming I'm very aware that I'm on a dream, I'll even say to others in the dream that this is just a dream to not worry if something is about to happen. If for some Eason I wake up and was having a really cool dream I can go back to sleep and go back into the dream I was having, not the exact same spot but the same dream. I used to have a dream, the same dream over 20 years, I was trying to get to the roof of an old multi story building and people where trying to stop me. Every time I had the dream I would remember where the people where hiding from the last time I had the dream. Every time I had the dream I would get further to the roof of this building till one day 20 plus years later I did, never had the dream since. Some crazy stuff for sure.
Wow so cool!
There have only been a few times in my life that I knew I was dreaming.
1. The first instance I was dreaming that I was in some kind of skate park, which is weird because I don't skate. Then someone gave me "weed resses cups" and I ate them, which again is weird because I don't do that sort of thing. The next thing I remember is I began to run, but I was running in slow motion. That's when it occurred to me I was dreaming. I tried to start banging sexy chicks, but I woke up soon after.
2. The second time I remember it being a nightmare. I was in this haunted house and there were all kinds of disembodied voices and ghosts or spirits messing with me. I remember being very freaked out. I could see ghosts floating in and out of the walls. Then some how, I realized I was dreaming and I remember saying, "Oh, this is just a dream." So, I calmly closed my eyes and then told myself to wake up. I repeated this until I actually woke up.
3. Third time was the craziest dream of them all that I had. I remember being totally aware the entire time. It's like I was half awake and half asleep. I flew all over the place. I dived into the ocean when there wasn't one around for what seemed like miles. Everything was super clear. I swam under water without feeling the need to breath. There were all kinds of fish swimming around me. Then I launched myself into space and looked down on the earth and it looked so cool. I was completely unafraid. Then I looked at the sun I decided to fly into it. I was there in seconds. After that I came back down to earth and this is where it started to seem more like a random dream. There were these big ass cartoon looking beavers and I was trying to whack them with a stick for some reason. Finally, I knew it was nearly 8:30 pm and I told myself, "it's almost time to get up and get ready for work, so I better open my eyes now." And I did, and it was 8:27 pm when I looked at the clock.
wow nice
😎 dude
Lol I've had 2. Before but I didn't know I could change my dream
That sounds AWESOME!!!!!
Holy shit bro that freaking rocks
I dont think im ever aware in my dreams, i just remember the dream the next day.
Me too
Weird... reading these comments actually made me remember some of my dreams
One of the ways I've learned to tell if I'm dreaming is to check the light switches. Light levels don't change in your dreams, so if you turn on the lights and the room doesn't get brighter, you're probably dreaming. I learned this trick from the film _Waking Life._
I don't really dream, all I see is pitch black.
Me too :(
Same - everyone is like "everybody dreams, you just can't remember it" but I don't even remember a sensation of dreaming - it's just black
I disagree. You really just don't have any awareness. Not blackness. That's like a person being born blind saying all they see is blackness. I have blind friend and he doesn't even know what it means.
+Leah Wilson like that close your eyes at 11pm 1 min passes wake up at 1pm next day lol
Psychologically you do dream. You just don't remember them.
An easy way i can lucid dream is every 3 hours a day i look at my hands, then when i dream i look at my hands and gain control over my dreams :D
Interesting.
I have an amazing ability! (I think so atleast) if i have a nightmare my brain knows that if i open my eyes i will be in my bed awake.
so does everyone else
Oh lol i know but i just want to be special XD
sweeeeet
Sounds like a false awakening would really mess with you then.
CreepyCat yeah it happend once
who else has visions while dreaming?? or is it just me?
Jaime Torres my boyfriend does
Jaime Torres Yea. i've had a dream before and i remember doing that same exact thing with the same people 6 months later
Jaime Torres is it just a event ? Or like say you see something happens in your life . Like you get that job you've waiting for
Jaime Torres I've only had one. came true the next week.
Jaime Torres deja vu???
It usually happens to me about once a month, but believe it or not, just the act of reading books about lucid dreaming before bed increases my chances of having a lucid dream. Although once you become aware of the dream then it is very easy to slip away from the dream and wake up which is why you must maintain contact with your surrounding in the dream. You can do this by clapping or spinning around in a circle helps me, but a couple times i almost slipped away from the dream but not completely almost where I felt my consciousness in both the dream and sleeping in my bed and I was able to push myself back into the dream. I used to have a dream journal but i was not diligent enough with it so i just eventually stopped recording everything. Executing reality checks on a regular basis is very helpful, mainly i just look at a digital clock twice and if its a dream then the second look will just be a bunch of weird symbols instead of numbers. I have been lucid dreaming for about 3 years now, so feel free to ask any questions.
Jake Kinchen how did you start to lucid dream pls tell me at kakatkakat5@gmail.com
Jake Kinchen those are good tips for staying in the dream- thanks.
+Lord of the Nerds
I do not have complete omnipotence over everyone's free will in my lucid dreams which is sometimes frustrating like when there are a bunch of people in my way and I tell them to move out of my way because I do not have the time to dawdle on subconscious subordinates, then they very very slowly move out of my way. I don't want to be mean to them because I still see them as people although I know that they are only figments of my imagination. I can only succeed in the act of flying if I run and jump 3 times in a row, very similar to when Mario gets the wingcap in SuperMario 64 and you want him to fly. I played that game a LOT during my childhood so I guess that has something to do with why that is the only way I can fly. Changing my surroundings merely by willing it to change and moving large objects with my mind was always pretty easy in my dreams. I would say I have 2/3rd's of control over my lucid dreams in general. I remember that once I had a lucid nightmare in a dark mansion and Michael Myers was chain me around. I looked at a clock so I knew it was a dream but it was still scary. He kept chasing me until he slowed down and asked himself existential questions and he explained later to me that he was only chasing and killing people because he was frustrated with his life. At the end he killed himself by jumping off this really big swingset that was behind the mansion. Does this answer your question?
Jake Kinchen That's some seriously impressive control. I think I'm going to make that my ultimate goal, but he most control I've ever exerted over any of my dreams was changing the way some negative situation worked out (this typically happens in a dream that I don't necessarily want to have and I usually wake up soon after due to becoming more conscious of the dream). Even this bit of influence is limited for me, however. My subconscious usually makes up a rational excuse for the change rather than it just ending or changing instantly (or close to it) like I want it to. I think this is also my part personality surfacing as I don't much like unreasonable, irrational, illogical... things... in general. (Does anyone?)
Question for you Jake Kinchen and all you other dreamers out there: Does your subconscious have to think of rational reason to change something in your dreams or does it just happen on the spot for you, no reason(s) needed?
Jake Kinchen I also sometimes know I'm dreaming but am semi-aware of my actual sleeping body, it's strange to say the least
I know im lucid dreaming when i grow wings... i always grow wings when i lucid dream
victor j Ryan that's weird.
How so? I like flying so i automaticly grow wings
luvyou baby so thats how i find out im dreaming..especially if im flying on my way to school cause that usually takes place in my lucid dreams...im only 13
nah u got it wrong... ure growing wings and flying before ure actually lucid dream, u then realize that ure dreaming cuz u can fly.
victor j Ryan Romantic.
In a dream I had I saw a gray monster on the street. I walked up to him and said "bro u alive"
Lol
lol
I fukd madison ivy beat that
eveytime i dream and im about to die i suddenly grow wings and fly away
nice
Franky Zhou lucky
Thats cool
lucky
every time I was about to hit the ground i wake up
dont know why but i was actually enjoying falling down
@@margarethuynh9340 same
Once I was dreaming and I told myself "I know this is not a dream. If it is, I'll wake up now." Well I didn't wake up at that moment, and continued believing that what was happening was reality.
One time I controlled my dream without lucid dreaming. There were cars driving on a narrow, windy two-way train track thing way up in the sky, and I simply thought, "What if one of them fell off?" The next car that drove by fell off, and no one but me noticed. I just looked away and went on with my business. Maybe I'm a psychopath. That's probably true. But it's very interesting.
I have had many of these dreams. Usually I'm in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation in my dream and I really want it to change or work out differently. If I want it bad enough then it changes. Usually this is followed by me becoming more conscious of the fact that I'm dreaming and I typically wake up to be done with dream because I don't like it.
I'm going to work on taking more control of my dreams.
Fried Keenan I have dreams where I control things without being in a lucid dream. Like being able to have powers and shutting doors without touching them and moving stuff with magic, lol
Kristance Harlow most of my dreams have tk in them... but it just seems so natural when you dream...
Fried Keenan i was abual to control my dream onece and i was iron man in iron man 1 i can feel stuff in dreams and it hurt like hell

If you're gonna pee in a dream prevent yourself from doing it.
Don't let your dreams be dreams, just DOOOOOO it!
Matheus Oliveira Just........DO IT!
Matheus Oliveira lol That Yoda Pick had me thinking it was some wise words.
Phil Singh Words very wise always say I ;)
ive never lucid dreamed before. i dont even get normal dreams everynight. but i want to lucid dream. it sounds fun.
B1ackdeath 301 yess
I didn't start lucid dreaming until after my first experiences with sleep paralysis. It got so bad that it would keep from sleeping entirely. It would happen upwards of 5 times a night. It felt like my very own purgatory. (and that's coming from an atheist) After researching and finding out that it's a normal process in the sleep cycle, I became more comfortable with it and learned how to fight it off quicker. From there I was introduced to lucid dreaming.
One dream that affected me the most:
A large group of my family members (parents, siblings, uncles, etc.) were being chased by two armed and unseen figures in the middle of the night. My family and I ran into the first empty house we saw. The front door opened to a dining room area. We all sat on the floor hoping the two figures wouldn't find us. After a moment or two we could sense a presence at the front door. The two figures start to fidget with the door knob but it's locked. The room filled with a thick cloud of fear as we sat quietly. Eventually, two of my cousins built up the courage to go and combat the figures. They run to the door hyped up and ready for battle. They unlock the door and when they opened it... There was no one there. Confused, they walk out further as the door closes behind them. The rest of my family sat in dead silence for about 10-20 seconds before two loud bangs followed by more silence. Another short moment went by before the door knob starts to turn slowly. The door was unlocked this time. My remaining family starts panicking as I decided to circle around through the kitchen to catch the attackers by surprise. The panic crescendos as the door knob twists further. I was around the corner staring at the door and when it opened, I jumped out to attack. Again there was no one there. I froze in place because I felt a little off, and began to feel worse by the second. The room was suspiciously quiet. No one was at the door so I look back to assure my family, that we were okay for the moment. They were gone. All my loved ones vanished, I'm alone. I began to feel like I was being contacted by a strong divine power. It telepathically told me things. But there were no words... More like the feeling I felt before, amplified. And the presence eventually left.
I woke from the dream world into reality knowing that it was all in my head. But I still felt the same feeling for the next few days.
As an engineer, I have gone to be with a problem and found a solution in my sleep. I remembered it in the morning, laid it out and everything worked. thus the phrase "I need to sleep on it"
a friend of mine had almost the same experiment , he's a gamer , he was once stuck in a game he didn't know the pass phrase to pass the level . he slept normal without even thinking of the game then he had the dream of playing the same game , the same level , and he was able to figure out the pass phrase inside the dream , he woke up after that and he tried what he still remembers and it worked . crazy
I had a dream where my grandma had died and I was visiting her grave to find that her killer was waiting for me and I was so angry and sad at the same time that in my dream I became Super Sayian and I woke up feeling hot and my eyes watering . When I looked at my clock it was turned off aswell as the entire neighborhood but no storm or anything wrong with maintenance. My neighbors said they heard some one screaming (me) and then the power went out. Do I have a weird power or was it a coincidence ( this happened when I was little but not as drastic as the one I just wrote)
lol nice dream by the way
+Swat4 Pro lol thanks
+Johnpaul Burgueno yup you are here im still learning to lucid dream
+Swat4 Pro yeah I learned quick they say when you feel yourself waking up look at the ground and spin (in your dream
+Johnpaul Burgueno yeah watched that at Dnews i think
I can lucid dream a few times a week on average. The funniest part is, while in the dream, leaning in real close to my friends or coworkers and telling them that they aren't real and that they are going to die when I wake up. That always make me laugh.
I'm gonna try that when I'm awake lol
Tammy Time how do you do that pls tell me on kakatkakat5@gmail.com pls
Tammy Time that's funny.
Tammy Time Can you please send me your technique?? I've had one lucid dream and it was one of the best things I've ever experienced and I want to again.
popaj116 Samuel Lemmon It's nothing crazy of a technique. I don't go out of my way to try to have them, they just kinda happen. Trace covered the methods that I guess I used. I just notice that I am in a dream and then I become self aware and I can do things. I've rarely had the type where I can control everything like a god. Mostly just the ones where I have power over my own body and often I can force the influences of other people around me. I guess the most important part obviously becoming self aware. I have no real tips for how to make that happen. I just kinda do it. I don't know how.
speaking about dreaming I woke up this morning and i check the time it was 6:59 and then i check about 15 seconds later It changed to 6:53 This is not a joke What happening please
hacks
You are having a dream bcoz it is also an easy way to check that you ar dreaming or not when you look time in your dream you says okk and then again you see clock and it shows the past tym you are dreaming
I get that too. Right before I wake up, I think I'm in my room and I check the time. Then later, I check the time again and it's different. How I know that what I'm looking at is actually real the second time is that I have the ability to actively feel my muscles move
FusionXGamerX. Sure it wasnt 5:59 at first? Closed your eyes for a second and an hour passed?
FusionXGamerX. It’s prob 6:53 the first time you check it
It happend to me too you just see it wrong
I was lucid dreaming for what seemed like forever. I was walking through a darkish forest, like it was a little bit before twilight. I tried to wake up but I couldn't. Then I came to the edge of a clearing, and my house was there. I went inside and started to read a book, the first few pages made sense, but then it seemed like the words were swimming around the page. The whole time this was happening, there were quiet voices whispering, but they weren't ominous or scary, just kind of sad. I went around my house, the forest, and the city for what felt like eternity. One day I laid in a clearing in the forest under the stars just starting to relax, when suddenly there was a bright flash of light. I woke up in a bed but it was not my own. The doctors told me that I flew through the windshield after the crash and landed in a field, breaking my leg when I hit the ground. I was in a coma for three months. I'll never forget the time I spent in my dreams. It felt like forever but three months dreaming? I'm glad I wasn't in a nightmare.
If you think about doing lucid dreaming enough you will, I used to do it everynight. Now some other really awesome things about lucid dreaming not mentioned in this video is you can totally manipulate your dream, you can kind of force things to happen, it might sound hard to do by reading this, but once your in the dream and aware, youll find it easy to control, and you know what that means... some nice... "sports" so to speak to "play" with your crush you will probs never get. Also, another little fact is (and science has already confirmed this not sure if trace vcovered this yet) that people who game frequently can often take control of their actions in night mares and turn it from a nightmare to a sort of... game, and kickass and fight back. Actually it doesnt always work, the worst nightmare I had, which was about 4 months ago now I think, couldnt be avoided, I dreamt of me and my father being torn to bits in a suicide bombing and I watched him suffer with no legs etc. and lookin down at my fleshy stumps for legs feeling actual pain, it was the worst, I was really sad that day.
Lord Vader "play" with your crush you will probs never get."
I've been able to play a lot with fictional women, but when I tried to get my crush, she seemed off, her hair was not right and everything else was just a little off, so it creeped me out.
Tom Woods
Like your mum
+Lord Vader very nice, although I really don't give a shit about gamers all I care about is the people, talent and its creation and the practical educational application and separating the wheat from the chaff once it is determined that playing games is not a persons forte it should be only a hobby a time to relax after a hard days work. Finally someone who has experienced a lucid dream Denny Crane the best sex is in a lucid dream, especially for those who have physical limitations, which usually end up in my case a wet dream and here we are Noam Choamsky Reset the Ultimate Rem, problem with this situation is that it requires tremendous energy that's why its unsustainable. But when you imitate the bear even at my best trying so hard I was only able to sustain it for 3 minutes anything more would be coma. And I know that was hibernation imagine if I could find the energy source sugar fuck it that's weak it is not available in nature except in very toxic haa but no more enough of that humanity is not ready...Now we come to the most important part I used to think you where kidding when you mentioned the gut but seeing the vidoes of cut chicken head that survive for a year I think your really a very dangerous person cause you actually believe Reset the Ultimate Rem happened times like this I wish smart people just have as much imagination as Jon Stewart. Still my aim is to be able to have a lucid dream worshipping my goddess Jennifer Lawrence, so just in case you want to pursue this experiment case I usually don't trust this video chickens seem very hard to believe lets try with cockroach kill it without squashing slowly from experience try Bygon the right amount so that a part of its brain is rotten after two weeks when I clean underneath my bed it still alive laying there and kicking trying to get away. now if you can recreate that horizons will be opened. Still chances are hopefully you won't succeed because your a very dangerous man still maybe you'll come up with something that I can maybe use to get my lucid Jennifer Lawrence Dream. Oh yeah the reset the Ultimate Rem no lucid dream could occur I was busy enough just to sustain it was instinct but using imagination would require huge source of energy.Donald Trump: Trump 2015 Do you believe any of this shittt!!??? Still once thing is for sure Noam Chomsky is one of the horsemen of apocalypse.
+Lord Vader lol MOM GET THE CAMERA #getrekt #getrektbyvader
+Tom Woods maybe because you didn't imagine her well in your dream, so when you saw her you didn't recognize her entirely since some details from her must have been changed when you dreamt of her :D
Believe me or not, weird shit happened to me before,i was kinda lucid dreaming which I was really boring in dream and decided to wake up,some how I took my mother's phone, called my phone that is next to me and I woke up from alarm O_o
omg wtf how
wow this shit is insane
I tend to go lucid whenever something angers or frightens me. I usually become indignant because it's *my dream* and flip out with pretty much super powers. No flying but I can jump about 5 stories high. :P
Gam Bon
And when you pick up a weapon it falls apart or won't work?
I dreamt once that an eagle stole my pillow and I flew after him but just like in old cartoons I had the thought that I did not know how to fly and lost the ability. :P
Also: screw eagles
Gam Bon
Same.
My friend once tried to get me to play a table top RPG called Champions, where you invest points into super powers. being a douche I demanded to invest every point in JUMPING to create the super-hero... BOING! 100% face. >.>
I'm a douche. :'(
That will usually happen to me as well. I will only recognize I'm dreaming if I am in danger within that dream. I'll usually give myself superpowers like telekinesis and super strength, flight, or the power to just move the earth into whatever I want. Most of the time, I end up just picking up whatever is chasing me with telekinesis and I squish it/them.
Xoccyle
I've never had telekinetic power!
+ThePoptartster i find that (atleast for me) telling yourself that you can do anything once you've realized you're dreaming and try to do these thing it will happen. i remember being at my school once. to me it seemed normal but as soon as i left the campus i realized i was dreaming and thought well I can do whatever now. And I flew. started going towards home (: not even for a whole block though, as i woke up soon after
I can consistently control my dreams, even if I have a nightmare, which is really the only time when I interfere with it. Other than that I let the dream run, but I am aware of the dream at all times. When I have a nightmare I usually say to myself OK stop, and everything freezes and everything goes white, as if it where a blank canvas, and a knew dream starts up. Sometimes I just say OK, let's change this, and I go back a few minutes before something bad happens, and I stop it from happening because I've already seen how the nightmare plays out.
When i lucid dream, if im having a nightmare i can change up my dream completely and drift it into a happy dream if i try hard enough
Trace, where in the world did you get your info, because you're a bit off.
I'm a natural lucid dreamer, which means that I've had multiple instances before I knew what they were or how to improve them.
So I speak from experience (and the research I've done through the years), when I say that you can absolutely control every aspect of your dreams. It's hard work, you risk waking up and you can't solve "reality check" problems, but you can definitely do it.
For example, I've visited the moon, where I needed to do extensive adjustments to gravity, because my brain had no frame of reference.
Of course, it's much easier to descent deeper into the dream, thereby letting it do the bulk of the work, while you just edit whatever happens to move the story in an awesome direction.
This has landed me in awesome conversations with dead, living or impossible people whom I've never met in the real world, not to mention on crazy adventures and onto the surface of alien worlds.
And as for nightmares, those are exactly the thing that is solved by greater control. In the dreamworld, I've saved family and friends dozens of times, because nightmare forced me to be lucid.
I've deleted nuclear explosions barreling towards them, healed them with the snap of a finger, turned monsters into cute animals and even made a demonic army apologize.
And in case anyone is wondering, I lucid dream about half of the time I sleep... Without using reality checks or timed external stimulation.
My goal is to make it my brains norm. 😊
^this!
Henrik Rohde He's not necessarily wrong. My experience with lucid dreaming is similar to yours. I've gone as far as designing an entire environment just by thinking it, altering details of a room down to the type of wallpaper or propelling myself through a thought-up wormhole.
But before I could do that, when I first realized I could lucid dream, I would try to conjure up a real life person and end up with 100 strangers with no faces who are trying to kill me with various weapons. I had many, many iterations of this as a teen before I learned to control those aspects (and not just die and wake up).
I think Trace is accurate when he said "psychological discomfort". That's what it was, but it was also a challenge for me. I imagine some might shy away after so many negative experiences.
I remember my dream from forever ago... And it was a good dream before I knew I had insomnia and I know how to control my dreams whenever I can sleep but it is always bad.
My tip on how to know you are dreaming is to ask yourself: am i dreaming? And then if you just did that you know that you are dreaming because you won't ask yourself that question when you are awake cause then it's so obvious that its not a dream. For example ask yourself if you are dreaming right now as you are reading this, it's pretty obvious right? So if you are not sure that you are in a dream you probably are although it will sometimes be hard to realise or convince yourself that it's a dream because it's going to feel so real although if it is real you would never ask yourself that question as i said earlier. I've lucid dreamed many many times and that is my tip! Have a nice day!
yourself might not appreciate yourself asking yourself questions while yourself is sleeping by yourself
If you don't ask the question while awake, then why would you ask the question while asleep. If the difference between awake and asleep is so obviously apparent to you then why even ask the question at all?
CreepyCat It's not obvious that it's a dream while you are asleep so if you wonder if it's a dream then it is, the only problem is that you don't always get that thought.
When i was little I could lucid dream all the time. Now i have lucid dreams about once a month. If somone is having problems with nightmares you can try to kick yourself out of a bad dream before it happens. This is how: try to be aware once in a dream then just think logically that this bad thing cannot hurt you because it is not real. Then try to move as fast as you can, run, jump, punch, just move until you can make your real self move and wake. Once you mastered these you can use a dream journal as said in the video and remember how a bad dream started. This could be you walking alone at night, going into a small space or walking into a empty room with a stranger. Then you can stop it before it even happens.
when i dreamed one time i was in a nightmare but i nowd it was a dream so why were i scared?
Because when you were asleep, it felt like reality
You weren't lucid so you didn't know it was fake
but that's what he's saying he was aware of it being dream
I heard once (don't know if that's true or not) that you're dreams are not made up and so controlled by memories but by emotions which kind of makes sense to me in combination with your experience since that would mean you were dreaming fear and your mind just imagined a "story" or "situation" to that emotion so no mater how aware you are or how much you control the "plot" you will still feel the emotion this dream is brought up by...
(could be complete bulls**t ^^)
RandomShit i had a nightmare that i was stabbed by the rake and it slit my wrist and i woke up to a spider bite on my wrist 😖😱😟
Lucid dreams are really cool. I love to have them and it happens pretty much every week, at least once.
Icaro Vasconcelos how do you do that pls e male me on kakatkakat5@gmail.com pls
popaj116 not going to mail you but research about WILD and SSILD, its how i got started
and watch lucidology 101's videos
popaj116 i force myself into sleep fast enough to continue conscious of that. Its very real and normally scary in the beginning. This made me tough to nightmares as well, most of them.
***** Says the one with the creepiest profile picture to ever exist.
Lucky bastard
I lucid dream every night😐it's annoying and it gives me anxiety, idk why?..
your lucky
Next time you realise you're dreaming, stop being scared and remind yourself that you're in control. It's all in your mind and whatever is scaring you can't hurt you. Look the dream characters in the eye and ask what it represents. You never know, they might turn friendly and if this has been a recurren nightmare, they might stop in future. Good luck🙂
When I was younger I lucid dreamed a lot and it gave me anxiety too, so usually what I did to wake myself up was roll my eyes up as far as possible. It sounds weird but it worked for me many times.
Everytime i realize i am dreaming, i wake up. So hard to have lucid dream.
Same thing with me..
Bintang Sang H Just keep practicing.
+Bintang Sang H Look at the ground and turn around in your dream should help not to wake up
+Bintang Sang H And an other way is, not to think "Oh! I'm dreaming" but just try to ignore that you are aware of dreaming and try to calm down letting the dream continue without you controlling it. but slowly with the time you realize, that you can't get hurt. For example by jumping down somewhere. but don't try to interact with people or objects, because then you have to concentrate yourself too much and you wake up. (That's how i did it most of the time.)
Don't let yourself get too exited when you notice or form your own reality
I don't really have dreams I forget them so when i go to sleep its black. I rarely get a dream that has people or something in it
last year I a head a very vivid dream.I remember that I was on a parking lot and I knew It was dreaming because the next thing that happened was that I was inside the bestbuy store. I was starting to feel aware of my surroundings and I keep thinking is this a dream. I started looking at the objects around me and I walk to this section where they have the cameras 📷 on display I was thinking to myself "if I'm dreaming I shouldn't be able to pick this camera and feel it weight or its texture" but i actually felt it, then I was getting freak out idk why. next thing I did was look at price and the price was $485 canon 25 Mp and full 1080p. then I woke up laying down on the parking lot (the one from the beginning) then 1 sec later I wake up again. one of the best dreams I ever had
I had a dream that I caught a pikachu. I didn't use a pokeball though. it was in some strange parking lot too... I forgot what the cars were like and everything but I remember chasing the little guy around a lot before I woke up.
Why do some dreams come true
I wonder the same thing, because it has happend me sometimes.
Emelie EmCe I believe dreams come true to some of us
Real Nigga Central Oh wow tell what happened I want to know if there's more people out there
I've had it where scenarios have played out the exact way as in my dream sometimes weeks and sometimes months to maybe a year in advance. it is a very strange and surreal experience for sure.
Michael LeMieux Oh wow
I had a lucid dream of my brother hitting me with a metal bar
Nico Scott nam flash back
Once, i was aware of the fact that i was dreaming and it was the weirdest thing ever. So i had to walk somewhere, but it was across the ocean. There was no atmosphere, so above me were stars and the sun shining in my face. On both sides of me were people standing. I'm talking about MILLIONS of people. I didn't look them directly in the face but they were there watching me. (I was sure it was the entire human population, which is quite impossible but i was fully convinced it was). They were all talking, creating so much noise all together it hurt my ears. It started to hurt so bad, and while i was telling myself that this wasn't real and i had to open my eyes, i fell through the ground and woke up in my bed. I've never had a dream like that before, being fully aware that i was dreaming
Hey Trace,
I had some rather interesting experiences that I would call moments of controlling the dream. I could bend them with my will/thought. One time, in the midst of a dream I took control. This is what happened. In my dream I was looking out my front window of my house, watching something outside. I realized I was dreaming and thought, I wonder if I could make the house fly? I then just thought "house lift up and fly" it happened. Then with my mind I could control it in the sky! After flying it for what seemed like 30 minutes and looking over my home town from the sky I awoke. I was blown away at how cool this was. I was just controlling a house, in the sky, like an aircraft. Boss.
I know I know, crazy sounding. Just imagine a 1200 square foot house flying 100-1000 foot over your house. I honestly could not make this up if I wanted to.
Now I would also like to make the following statements:
- no, I was not deathly ill.
- no, I was not under the influence of any narcotics or alcohol ( I was 10 years old at the time)
- I was not under any life stresses. nor had any medical conditions.
bonus: These types of dreams happen about once a month. I am in my 30's now. still happens.
I like the ones where I realize that I am dreaming, and then think, okay time to abandon whats going on and just fly up and around.
Sometimes Superman style, last dream I was on my mountain bike, then realized I was dreaming and just thought let see if I can make this fly, then up it went!
Tip: I also use this method in my dreams to tell if i am indeed dreaming:
In my dream if i have to pee, and even after peeing I still have to pee, I am indeed dreaming.... also would like to say, never wet the bed, just awoke with mad case of "gotta pee like a race horse".
awww mann, ive been kicked out of the dream server...
I used to wake myself up from nightmares by telling the characters within my dream that I'm able to wake up after three blinks of my eyes. Now, I'm not quite sure if that's a lucid dream or not.
If I have a nightmare I just start killing everyone in it, it's fun!
That's cool :)
I do that too! Usually it takes more than three for me though. Like, five or seven.
Someone help! Okay so I've been wanting to be able to get lucid dream and I think almost had one cuz it started off a friendly conversation with a group of friends then I suddenly was in another location. I realised i was dreaming and proceeded to do something extreme( can't tell you what it is). I was to excited that I woke up. How do you stop being excited in a dream?
i can tell you how but you need to tell what it is that you did
Maxio Lpio as far as what has happened to me I think he was trying to have sex I did try that the sensation was overwhelming(lot better than masturbation) and I couldn't keep my eyes open my closed and if I keep it open for too long I wake up and soon I woke up
no idea and u were trying to have sex weren't u
Yep, he was trying to have sex, I have in my lucid dreams it feels so good. 🍆💦
Apparently I actually am a lucid dreamer and I didn't even know it! This is really cool. I feel like an idiot for not realizing I've been lucid dreaming all my life!
This is really interesting. I've never looked into how to lucid dream but I have done all of these things for as long as I remember. I do lucid dream. Infact, as a teenager I felt very confused about the way I experienced and remembered dreams vs. my peers. I started with a fondness of dreams and also my want to stop having nightmares as a child. I had a series of noises I would make/ continue from the last point and if I couldn't make them correctly, I was dreaming. Later in life it was things like dialing a phone number and not being able to hit the right keys or driving a car and not being able to control the wheel. Then I began the practice of waking and going back to sleep to continue my dreams when I was a teenager, dreaming of a crush and avoiding an alarm clock. Now as an adult who has been lucid dreaming for years, I have started to venture even further with my dreaming and I'm not sure if there's much research on it, I am about to look into it, I have actually been successful in visiting other people's dreams. I suppose I would call what I am working on "Dream sharing" and "Dream observing" It requires certain conditions and I'd be glad to discuss it or lucid dreaming with anyone who may be interested. :)
mfw lucid dream turns into sleep paralysis ;-;
Louis Aguirre ive had sleep paralysis twice
the first time i had some dream i was in a city centre, i was near a cash machine then i suddenly emerged from the dream, still with the image and thought of the dream in my head, with my face buried in my pillow struggling to breath. i panicked because i could breathe but it soon went and i just got up.
the second time was wierd, i had woken up earlier than usual to do a few things when i decided to go back to sleep for another half hour. i kept waking up after 5 mins and going straight back to sleep. after one time, i felt myself waking up so i tried to stay on the border of being awake and not. This was a bad idea because it caused me to not be able to move, i opened my eyes to a dark room(considering it was moderately bright outside) then closed my eyes again and my knee started rising to my chest, which i had no control over. i tried calling for mum cos i could hear her walking around but all i could do was let out a tight breathe, my mum then opened the curtains and i could straight away move.
this really creeped me out cos it was an instant moment of releif.
I've only gone lucid dream like 3 times I have a tip.. in IRL try to make a knife and keep trying till u get it than u will know ur in a dream that's how I did it😂
Or just pinch yourself.
+Umbra CastAway This will wake you up
Only 3 lucid dreams and now giving tips on how to become lucid? What do you even mean by: "in irl try to make a knife"?
YOU'LL REALIZE YOURE IN A DREAM WHEN YOU END UP IN A BOILER ROOM
That is one of my recurring nightmares I end up in a boiler room. Running through a maze of pipes and boilers I always take a turn, (I can never go another way) and suddenly I fall in a hole that has no end.
Fernando Amacosta isnt it fun
Great video. Thank you! I love lucid dreaming and it totally is the bliss that you mentioned other people taking about!!! I read in a book about dreaming that if one technique for lucid dreaming is to look at a certain part of your body right before you go to sleep, like your hand, and tell yourself "when I look at my hand in my dream, I will know that I'm dreaming." That hasn't worked for me yet (haven't tried it in years though) but when I've done it it's made for very vivid non-lucid dreams that I remember.
I have recognized that I am in a dream before, but I usually just let the dream pan out as is. I kinda like to enjoy the ride.
when your dreaming of something amazing then someone wakes you up
I thought I am the only one!
not really an amazing dream but:
i was fighting off a villain and.. wtf batman!?
"____!!! WAKE UP!"
wait my moms voice..
"_____!!WaKe UP!!"
or we can wait 5 years and use the NervGear according to SAO xD (no but for real pls, someone invent it by 2022)
I always have lucid dreams... Especially in apoptolyptic dreams...
Those are the worst :(

+Reggie I know, but surprisingly they don't bother me
Lucid dreaming is the BEST! I feel like I could do anything! I've done it 4-5 times in my 14 years of living, so far. My first one was the day I saw a video about dreams, and they mentioned lucid dreaming. Out of no where, I suddenly became aware in that dream I had that night. I was then in my house, and the first thing that came into my mind was how you could control it. The first thing I "ask" for is: A Unicorn (IDK why, I think I was testing it). My last one so far was quite recent, and I again "asked" for a Unicorn, because thats how I know I'm dreaming. I feel so happy after those dreams. I really need to start a dream journal, too!
When you first learn how to "control" your dreams, it takes a little concentration. But, when you get better at it, it's easy. If you focus, you can will whatever you want in your dreams. Start off by trying to create a tennis ball, or something. Don't look at your hand; just know that it's there then toss it. If you're in a bind--like if there are "monsters" chasing you--you can either think of another setting, or use telekinesis to push them away or crush them. Yeah, nightmares hate it when I come around.
Who came here after watching Inception?
Me
Lol, thought I was the only one xD
+Alexa Rocha me lol
Me
me :P
I can lcwsed dreams and I control it
U is smart lady ee
LSD is the shortcut to lucid dream. You don't have to do shit.
SANJOY KUMAR MITRA what's taht
When I was younger I came across this whole lucid dreaming thing. A few years ago we couldn't find so much on it, seems as though people recently took an interest in it, that's good, more info to be found. ANYWAY, so, I tried it. Didn't work the first few times but one night, as I felt that drifting off feeling, I imagined a hamster running and running in his little hamster wheel, that reminded me "I'll lucid dream I'll lucid dream I'll lucid dream", his running repeated in my mind until I actually did start to dream. once I saw my surroundings I let the idea of the hamster fade away. I had made it in. I was in this huuuuge classroom with no one in it except me and an old lady sitting behind me. I turned around and asked her "is this a dream?" and she said "no". I sat up on my chair and said " if its not, I won't be able to fly", bounced a bit on that chair and took off. it was wonderful, you really can construct adventures. as I was flying I saw beautiful colorful fields down below and a train passing by. I was so excited. decided that I wanted to have contact with someone or something really nice, went down to this charming wooden house and peeked inside the window, there were the cutest little puppies play fighting, that's exactly the type of thing I wanted to see. something cute was just perfect. at the time I had a crush on a boy from the higher grades and as I watched the puppies I heard/felt/saw someone come down the stairs. I got so excited like "omg here he comes eeeeep!" that I woke up. have been trying to lucid dream again for years. never could ever again. not like that. sometimes I do notice that I can't dial someone's number (in a dream) or what I read makes no sense (in a dream I was trying to call the police but the numbers kept changing to 912 901 and I couldn't figure out what the number was)and still don't realise its a dream. will keep trying.
the part about saying to yourself that you can control your dreams, it works for me if I say it a couple of times right before I go to sleep or lay down, when I want to lucid dream. also think it while you're trying to fall asleep, just keep thinking until you can't stay awake, that's the most helpful part for me, but he is right about nightmares as well, a couple of times I could alter the dream from the setting, I could pull my friends into the dream, or just make it about whatever I want. though when I was able to realize I was dreaming in a nightmare, it's actually still terrifying because I wasn't able to wake myself up, and basically couldn't die, but was tortured worse than the hostel movies, and after some time, I would heal and be tortured all over again. it has its ups and downs, but is definitely worth experiencing, hope this helps too.
The only time I had a lucid dream, I realized I wasn't supposed to be asleep but instead getting ready for work. And then magically I was at work. Except I was still dreaming, and the place was a nightmare, and I became totally lucid again, and ran around panicked trying to wake up. And then I woke up, and started getting ready... in my childhood bathroom... and then I woke up again. Eventually I actually woke up, wasn't even late for work. But everything felt totally surreal for a few days after.
Whoa I paused in the middle of this video and I thought I've been lucid dreaming ever since I was around 8 or even younger I'm now turning 12 and a couple of weeks and this is mind-blowing I have never caught myself any of these strategies I have never watched a video on lucid dreaming but you know that I can do it without any help or thought or lessons is crazy this is pretty much blowing my mind because most of the time when I'm Dreaming I'm aware of it I have nothing else to say this is crazy
When I was younger and had bad dreams, which I used to get quite a lot, I could tell if they were bad dreams - not sure how. The one thing I did that always worked was blinking slower than usual but not too slow and to repeat it, that somehow made me blink in real life and I woke up. Bit of a late comment glad if it helps people.
I totally thought lucid dreaming was making things happen.. But now you explain its when people know they're dreaming then I've been lucid dreaming all my life- every few dreams I know I'm dreaming and that I'm literally just watching a mind movie as one of the characters- and whenever I've tried to change it I woke up
I have so many gloomy/uncomfortable dreams/nightmares, that I don't think I'd want to be conscious in one... waking up from them is terrifying enough
Actually, no, the most isn't influencing the dream. You can become more skilled as you become more experienced in lucid dreaming, to the point where you are practically a god within the dreamworld. So yes, the degrees of control/influence in the dream after gaining awareness vary to BIG extents. From total, godlike control to no control but just awareness. This coming from a teenager with three-ish years of lucid dreaming, having approximately 30-ish lucid dreams in total, in some of which I had some control or little control, others I had no control, some I had a lot of control, a few I had total control. It just depends on experience and skill, young padawans.
I have had about 10 lucid dream experiences in my life they are always intense and have left me with a feeling of awe. I dont know what has triggered them but I always remember in my dream coming to a point where I say to myself "im dreaming". Then I have had free reign over anything I could imagine. Dreams of flying, dreams of crazy sexual experiences, literally able to conjure up anything that I want in what seems to be a moments notice. I was even able to change a nightmare one time when I came to the realization that I was dreaming. I haven't lucid dreamed in probably 5 years but most of my lucid dreams that I had occurred over a period of a year. I really think smoking weed has effected my ability to have these moments of realization.
I've been Aware that I was dreaming when i was 6 but i didn't know that I can control it
I've occasionally had a lucid dream, my best by far was in a setting that was spliced between where I work and the town nearest to my home, when I became aware I was dreaming I tried to fly, it wasn't easy, I had to really focus, quite the mental workout, but i was able to float around my workplace and then eventually float around some of the landmarks in town, it was very beautiful, p.s. love your show :)
The way i always realize that i'm dreaming is when i can't run, and it causes me too feel panic, but i've been practicing how to get over that when i am in my dream.
The weirdest dreams I have had are where I can hear and see what's going on around me while asleep. Like, first I'll hear things going on in real life (i.e conversations or other noises. Different songs if I fall asleep listening to music, etc.) and sometimes I can see what's happening, like right up to the moment I wake up. It's trippy, and has happened quite a number of times, though not really often
I had a dream long ago that I was in a situation with my sister. We never agree on anything. In the first dream I argued and felt very bad, the second one I tried to reason with her and still felt bad a she would not agree with my opinion, in the third one I just did not react to the situation and all went well from then on. The strange thing was that I was actually in the situation in real life later and I remembered the dreams and decided not to react. It was a marvelous feelling that we did not argue. It was one of the most pleasant feelings of deja vu and chosing the least agressive position was the best way to get along with her. I rememberd that for the rest of her life. Made our lives much more sisterly.
I've done it quiet a few times, pretty much only when I'm having a nightmare, I've realized that what is happening isn't possible and that I am in fact in a nightmare and I've been able to wake myself up. I don't know how but once I realize I'm in a nightmare I have this overwhelming need to get out and just open my eyes and wake myself up.
I've had so many lucid dreams & tbh what works for me is practicing meditation, keeping in mind my intention that I WILL have a lucid dream tonight for example & just keep on repeating that thought & a dream journal!!! It's so amazing!! I've never had any nightmares so far tbh lol & OMG once u realize u are dreaming, it's such an incredible feeling !! TRY IT
I've had lucid dreams where I could think about things and choose who I wanted to show up. Then I could choose what would happen and it's so fun!
It's really fun to lucid dream I can fly, tell people I'm dreaming, and other cool stuff
the way I lucid dream is really a fighting my own movements in dreams, everything seems like it's so slow until I start doing a weird "jump running" where gravity is weak but sometimes I start to slide and fall which would wake me up, but if I work it right I could dream like i'm the hulk where running super fast and jumping really high
Great videos, I just wish there are animations or visuals. This helps some people, like me, remember what I learned aside from imagination.
I've had 2 lucid dreams, one involved me looking at my hand like you said and it looked really weird but I woke up right away. The other I saw a plane crash outside my living room window, and then when I turned my head back to look I couldn't find any smoke from the crash. I realised I was dreaming and started jumping on the couch just astonished at how real it all felt.
My hands don't look any different in dreams. But yeah text tends to change, at one point it turned into total gibberish and even some symbols I've never seen before. A few other things I look for:
1. I can levitate. Almost all of my dreams allow me to levitate. (except for what could be premonitions, over which I have no control, and which seem to foretell what I will see a few minutes/hours in reality, after I wake up)
2. Small animals change species. A chicken can turn into a frog and then a turtle for example.
3. People in my dream tend to talk nonsense.
4. Unusual events happen. For example, one time I was in the house of a mafia family, and one guy was carrying an old man on the end of a long stick, and the old man was hanging from the stick by the neck of his shirt. I was thinking to myself, "Man, I dream some weird stuff sometimes..."
5. I can "spawn" people and even change perspectives (first person, 3rd person, and even become a different person or creature or switch places with ones in my dream). All I need to do is think about it. But sometimes my regrets can take the form of my dead grandparents, and as expected, my grandmother is still saying she is sad that I did not contact her one last time over the phone.
6. I can ask questions and my mind answers them. It usually tells me what inspired each dream (fears, wishes, regrets) and the story behind the events in the dream. So if I ask what happened before a moment in my dream, my mind tells me what I did in that world, or what happened in that world before I got at the point I am experiencing then.
7. The environment is... mashed up. A forest can lead to a city straight away. Tunnels with trains can run through a house. Weirdness overall, it's impossible to believe it's real.
