[b]Alright, So I know there is already a thread on Dreams and Sleep, But this thread doesn't so much rely solely on that concept.[/b]
Lucid Dreaming is part of this, But more or less I'm trying to get is self discovery. Something I have been wondering, is more or less who am I?
I mean, I know I'm FreeKill on FP. And I'm Bandit Quiche on Xbox Live. MastaRiot on PSN, And Friend Code 485469 (Some Shit) on the Wii.
But what I really want to find out, is about my self. Kinda like a vision quest to find my spirit guide and other stuff like that. But more inside then out.
I wanted to try self discovery in some ways, because I wanted to know more about my self because I carry doubts that I lie to my self about who I am and what I do. Often times I barely care about the little things because either way the results still end up the same. But things like how you act are major effectors in how life will end up.
One of the things that had made me think about this was Lucid Dreaming. [b]Because your forcing your body to sleep and leaving your mind conscious, You can enter your dreams and bend it at your will.[/b](At least, That's what it pretty much sums up to be.)
But what makes this a eye opener is that you can control everything, Including who will be there.
And because your dreams are sometimes a warning or a message from your subconscious, It means that you can directly contact your inner mind. In general it sounds like some jedi mind trick or some advanced shit like hypnosis. But, it does sounds like a pretty good theory.
From what I can come up with from the research, Lucid Dreams often contain something that is shared among most dreams. Eventually you will have a lucid dream, and in that dream will be a special person. We're not talking like a movie star, your girlfriend or even bigfoot. But a spirit guide, Or so they call it.
The most I can come up from this is that the "Spirit Guide" is often a mixture of your sub-conscious and is there to lead you on your perfect dream. Or in the event you have questions, You can pretty much have a conversation with your self. It seems a bit stupid, Yes. But then again if you were conscious you wouldn't be able to answer your own questions, mainly because our minds might have repressed memories. Or something about our emotions block it off, The kind of things that we don't want to know because it will hurt us. Or the things we want to forget because we can't deal with them.
But in this Lucid Dream, Along with your spirit guide...You can directly ask questions about your self and get over fears, Express your self and relieve stress. It's the one person who understands you the most, And that would be your self.
Of course, This spirit guide won't always be in the form of you, but often of someone you might know and love. Or even a game character, It basically just picks up a form of something that pretty much expresses you. (For me, My spirit Guide is most likely going to be a Female blue haired Angel, Mainly because I've had a point in my life where I would RP as a girl in some games out of sheer will for some god forsaken reason. Even if there wasn't an RP server. I have no clue, Some fucking mental block shit )
:siren: The whole reason this Thread is Relevant :siren:
[b]The whole reason this thread even exists, Is because well....I don't feel any more confident about talking to anyone about this. Not because I feel scared but more in the sense that nobody I know is well educated about Lucid Dreaming nor does anyone actually give a shit since I trolled the whole class of 2010 and everyone hates me now.
Personally, I feel more confused about my self then ever. Not because I'm just starting to get out in the world. But I feel confused because I seem like a different person at times. It's not like one of those things where I'm super crazy and end up being a whole different person every few days. But it just feels a bit off because there are traits about me that make no absolute sense. I want to get over my fears, and find out all those repressed memories. I want to know what I really feel inside and what exactly am I thinking. These are the kinds of things you can't really think about in real life because we can't answer 100% truthfully because we're only remembering about 25% of the stuff we know. We can't just ask our selves "Are you lonely?" because half the time we'll say "I have lots of friends" but in reality inside your subconscious, You can feel as if nobody really knows who [b]YOU[/b] are and all they see is just another face. [/b]
And in Some ways, I feel like this could really help me develop who I am as a person. Because right now I feel more incomplete then ever. And in general, It also would help to find out shit that even you yourself don't know.
So it really does come down to the whole point of "Self Realitization" (Hope I spelled that right)
Your thoughts facepunch?
And PS: Rainbows are a coming. Why? Read.
[b]Edit:[/b] There is no fucking way, I'm adding a TL;DR to a god damn thread on learning about your self. You already learned one thing, Your a god damn lazy reader for one.
I like you.
have a double rainbow
Go deeper.
God speed
The mind is a strange, strange place
Ask your subconscious your biggest fear
Looking in mirrors while lucid dreaming is so tripppyy.
Blowjob?
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;24435360]Ask your subconscious your biggest fear[/QUOTE]
You don't know how many questions I have.
That's like one of them, But the major questions I have is like the stuff that you wouldn't even tell like your best friend, Or even an invisible friend.
It's the kind of shit that even you wouldn't ask your self until you were 100% ready. Because just hearing you say it is enough to make you want to punch your self.
Remember that part in Star Wars, forgot which episode, where Luke went into a cave and faced Darth Vador? So you want something like that, but more peaceful. Like a chat with someone who will answer all your questions about shit you don't aknowledge?
Sounds fun.

I know how that feels.
seems like there's something in me I don't want to confront, for fear of it overturning my whole self-image, the one I meticulously built up from scraps and bits, and is liable to be demolished at any moment.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;24435509]You can ask the internet[/QUOTE]
I could do that. But then what would be the point of Lucid Dreaming to talk to your inner most self just to find the real answer?
And to be honest, I'll be 100% honest. I do question my gender slightly. Mainly for the fact that Anime has brainwashed my mind.
But in general, It's more of those self help questions like finding out what you really feel about someone, Or asking your self exactly is your biggest weakness and shit like that.
One of the biggest questions I'd have to ask is something mainly regarding myself as a person and just asking my self "For what reason do I exist for?" Because I don't know shit about why I'm here. But my own inner thoughts might have an of idea of what I should be or maybe they know what I can be capable of.

Kay, your biggest weakness is anime (which is so fucking stupid), I'm assuming you are a teen so you probably just have a crush on them, not real love, Look in your pants because you have proof that you are a man in there and you should be damn proud of it, you're here because your parents fucked and the condom broke, and you probably exist so you can grow up and work in a boring office space for the rest of your life before dying old having accomplished nothing substantial in life, the end.

get the fuck out.
You're subconcsious can't tell you why you exist - it's still you, it can't answer impossible shit.
[QUOTE=Phoenix Ashes;24435830]get the fuck out.[/QUOTE]

It's not so much about it answering, But Hinting at it. I mean, It's not always going to end up worded like that. But I could always ask like "What do I do now?"
Or something, I mean You don't always know the answer. But deep inside you could. It's just that whole food for thought thing,
In general you won't really know exactly what you'll get until you try.
[QUOTE=Ragamuffin..;24435834]You're subconcsious can't tell you why you exist - it's still you, it can't answer impossible shit.[/QUOTE]
there is no reason why we exist.
we just have to help ourselves cope with it.
and I suppose that's where the whole subconscious thing comes into play, at least for some people.

I'll just assume you had a bad day.
Fuck I really need to learn how to lucid dream hngngggg
I've been trying it forever but nothing is working.
How do you lucid dream :frown:

I'm just barely scratching on the surface. Which methods have you tried? I was able to get a lucid dream going on...Well semi lucid.
it was the most vivid dream ever, With giant monkeys shooting lazer beams out their eyes, Airplanes, California, And the whole movie setting of Kick-Ass only we all used guns and there was no crime fighting loli and Big daddy AKA batman.
Plus it was the only dream I remember in like a month.
Try the WBTB Method. Get about 3-6 Hours of sleep, Enough to get you into REM Sleep, (Deep Sleep). And make sure that an alarm wakes you up after those hours. It has to be an alarm that shuts off on its own, But it has to be loud enough to wake you up.
Stay completely still, Or rearrange your position in bed. Try to fall asleep again, But keep your mind awake that time. (The whole reason the alarm is there was to wake up your mind to a point where you know your awake, But you could easily fall back asleep, But your body would still be in Sleepy Paralysis.
[b]I haven't slept yet, And it's already 9:21AM as of right now. I'm planning to stay up a bit and then try to lucid sleep later in the process that I can contact my spirit guide[/b]

[QUOTE=w0lfeh;24436071]How do you lucid dream :frown:[/QUOTE] I get sleep paralysis all the time but I never lucid dream.
[QUOTE=Andru91;24436299]TLDR anyways plz kthx[/QUOTE]
I want to contact my spirit guide because I want to harness the powers of the dragon king, Then divide the power of lightning by the power of hours i've been awake then attack norighway becuase we have the device.

Spirit Guide.....haha
But seriously, it's just your subconscious. There is no spirit.
It's just 100% you without bias etc.
