I had some pretty cool dreams last night. I managed to actually remember them for the first time in a week or two.
Although I've forgotten the first by now, I got a pretty good hold of the second. I involved a combination of writing an English paper and Prototype 2. Besides the obvious influence of playing quite a few hours of Prototype 2, I think the dream was subliminal self-encouragement because I was surprised that I managed to write a paper of this length, spread over a period of time.
Also, there was a recurring character. It was the pope except he had colorful robes, and his face was the windows hourglass icon :v:
Is it possible to dream about lucid dreaming? After talking with my friend i came to the conclusion that making my dick disappear and jumping out of a bus arent the first things i'd in a lucid dream.

Yes; actually, it's something that has frustrated a lot of people in past threads. If you really, really want to have one and can't stop thinking about, then obviously it might become the subject of your dreams.
After the "try to make one wall vanish, rest of room vanishes" incident I had earlier, I have persevered. Two lucid dreams recently, both equally cool. I think I found out how I fly in the first. I jumped down a hill backwards. I'd almost forgotten how cool flying is.
In the other one I managed to turn a staircase into an escalator, albeit a fast and uncontrollable one. I went outside to fly but forgot the jumping trick.
At least I can do something now.

Yes it can.
Last night brought two, plump dreams.
* The first one involved my brother having to put some huge bug collection in my room. Being only small enough for a bed, desk, and drawers, combined with my fear of bugs in general, kind of turned it into a nightmare. How did this small birdcage housing a giant black centipede get in my pocket? We're not talking scary as in Postal's moth larvae, but much scarier.
* I miraculously managed to get laid, as I seem to have a daughter here. The only thing I can remember out of this dream is her name. When I have kids, I would try to convince the wife to name her Charlene.
I've only been able to induce a lucid dream once through WILD, but once I felt the sensation of transition I lost concentration and woke up.
I started trying again but I usually cannot sit still long enough. I'm going to try MILD tonight and I'll post my results.

Actually, now I remember when once I fell asleep in class and I woke up and starting doing my work in a daze. Someone came up behind me, trying to hand me something. When I turned around and reached for it, I woke up again and freaked out when they disappeared as I opened my eyes.
read this all day at college, gonna start a dream journal soon. i rarely remember my dreams, but when i do i always seem to have the most fucked up and surreal nightmares, or dreams where there's a great amount of urgency (never anything happy though). should be interesting...
i really love all the stuff you guys contribute though. keep it up, some incredible stuff here!
he, whenever I dream and I think `This is just a dream` my dream always goes to black and I wake up, what happens then?
Also, sometimes I have a dream, let's take my last dream, dragons, I wake up several time, and I'm not able to keep my dreams from reality, so when I wake up, I'm like "Where did that dragon go, where do I have to look" and then I go back to sleep again, and it happens over and over until I have to wake up and go to school.
Good thing it doesn't happen every night.

Sometimes i'll realize i'm dreaming and just go with it to experience what my subconsious is conjuring up, it's interesting to watch, but since i'm going with the dream I usually lose lucidity.
Why is it everytime I figure out I'm lucid dreaming, everybody turns hostile? Felt like Inception.
[quote]I had a particularly extensive one which felt like a conspiracy against me. Everybody tried to tell me I wasn't dreaming, and for the most part it worked. Then I tried to move two people slightly aside with my thoughts, and it worked.
I was in Boston, where I was last month, and the train I was on did not want to take me back to my dorm. I had just spent a significant portion of the night sharing a bottle of wine with a stranger, and needed to get back home. The first train I got on took me way out of the area, though I was sure it wouldn't. I stayed on and eventually it returned (?) to where I needed to be.
The elevators wouldn't take me up to my floor. I wanted 11, and the first one took me to floor 7 and then went back down. The second took me to what appeared to be floor 15 (doesn't go past 13), until I got off and it was just floor 7 again. The third finally took me up to the floor, after a harrowing incedent with it closing on my hand, and keeping close to the inside walls to avoid being crushed by crossbeams which somehow entered the inside space of the lift.
I finally accepted that this was a dream after seeing Zoidberg hide in a closet, and as soon as I did, my two friends from the elevator turned on me. It began an acrobatic slow-motion grenade-throwing fight with this little patterned blue ball. Something happened and the fight over'd.
I walked through the halls (there is only one hall on my floor) talking to myself to keep the dream lucid. I took off a pair of dream-glasses and cleaned them to keep focus, and clapped and flicked my face to keep concentration. This worked until somebody distracted me, and I slowly began waking up in my bed.
Except it was my dorm room bed. My roommate asked me who won, and I was holding a little blue toy water gun with pincers that you pressed to shoot.
I faintly remember a time in a previous dream where I dreamt of waking up and murmuring about one group winning over another group, in earshot of my roommate.[/quote]
As of "waking" up into this second dream layer (something which happens to me quite a bit now), I thought I was truly awake. When I got up from my bed, however, I woke up to reality to type this now.
Damn crazy. This one kept me asleep for a good while, too.
I had a really cool dream about going onto a brand-new space station. At first it was just the classic cramped tubes, but there was gravity. This particular area was for testing medical effects of space, so of course there was a small dog in a closet full of various random cleaning products. I left this tube and found that there were hallways, and there was a guy who I was supposed to have stayed with, because everyone was supposed to stay in the line of sight of everyone else for some reason. We had lost the other crew members, so I opened a door. Through the door there was an open area, that looked something like a college campus. Now, this mission was station was a habitat, in space, with ~50 people. Over a short stone wall, I saw that there were streets with houses, and some hills. At first I thought that it was a bit of a waste of space to put that stuff there to huge make it feel like home. It didn't take long for me to realize that they were all actual houses, where the crew members would live. All the plants and hills served a purpose; they provided food and oxygen. The entire thing had a large domed ceiling, which became transparent during the "nighttime". Up above, you could see the Earth hanging in the sky. Then everyone got their own house, everyone pretty much got to choose their own. I went into mine, the only house with a red door with a dwarf painted on the inside. Then I was woken up.
I tried to MILD last night by counting, but once I got to 200 I had to scratch my nose and I ended up falling asleep and waking up with no recollection.
Why can't I just get one lucid dream on purpose?
Oh and before that I had a dream that I was doodling in math class instead of doing my work and then I had like 5 large plastic bottles fall out of my backpack and I had no idea about what to do with them.

I always remember a couple dreams, try writing things down if you aren't already

There's really no foolproof way to prevent sort of thing depending on what kind of collapse it is. If you can feel it happening slowly, then you should probably try to stabilize (clap, rub hands, etc.) Otherwise, just keep a positive attitude and keep trying. That's what's great about dreams, there aren't really permanent obstacles unless you make them for yourself.
[QUOTE=DChapsfield;35966314]Why is it everytime I figure out I'm lucid dreaming, everybody turns hostile? Felt like Inception.[/QUOTE]
Probably means something doesn't want you to get lucid and it's trying to divert your attention away from that and towards the dream. Honestly, that seems pretty chill to me, but if it gets to you just ignore them if you can. That, or you could turn the place into a warzone.
Also guys, as a rule of thumb, do a reality check when you wake up. False awakenings suck.
False awakenings do indeed suck. I've had multiple occasions where I've basically gone through a whole day only to wake up and realize I haven't done shit.

that sounds like it really [B]REALLY [/B] sucks
once you start thinking about it, it really gets to you wondering what you thought was reality or was just dream, since i forgot alot of my summer days, since they were mostly on my computer
it would be wise to make a habit of reality checking after waking up, right?
Everytime I realize it's a lucid dream I can never change anything, and everyone I consider "friendly" runs away and they leave me alone in the dark where I imagine some scary shit.

Of course. I've gone Lucid multiple times because of it as well.
Does anyone have any tips for getting a lucid dream? I've tried my best to stay still and let the paralysis set in, but it really isn't as easy as it sounds.
I once had a perfect lucid dream. About being in a featureless grey void.
It was so [I]boring.[/I]
[QUOTE=DChapsfield;35968519]Why is it everytime I figure out I'm lucid dreaming, everybody turns hostile? Felt like Inception.[/QUOTE]
Because you're expecting it to happen.
I gave it another try last night, same thing happened, I heard my cat scratching the door and I lost concentration and fell asleep.
And again, no recollection or lucidity.
Goddamnit.
Had something really weird happen. I was dreaming that I got shot. I bolted upright from my dream and hit my head on an iron bar... which made me wake up from that dream.
It took me a couple minutes before I realised that there was no iron bar in my room and never has been and that I had been dreaming the entire thing.
Whenever I get lucid I just start fucking the nearest woman, Then my dream starts going black and I yell "NO REGRETS" cause I wasted yet another lucid. To be honest I'm quiet content with that too, fuck all this sub-conscious shit I prefer to wake up in a good mood than mind fucked.
I had a dream last night in which a bird man who looked [url=http://ettugamer.com/wp-content/gallery/zeno-clash/helim.png]something like this[/url] followed me around everywhere calling me different names, most often and with most emphasis 'Novin Roa.' I told him every time no that isn't my name, and he'd respond with "I know, but it is my name and I like it."

I don't know where you got people wanted to explore their subconsious over having sex with anyone, ever. I'm pretty sure that's the #1 reason people get into it.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;35989010]I had a dream in which I was in a burning building, people were jumping from windows because the wait for the elevator was too long for their laziness to handle. I tried to run down the stairs instead but I tripped on a horse and kept falling over and over. The staircase was endless and I fell for an eternity in solitude because no one could hear me scream in terror.
It was mildly irritating.[/QUOTE]
God it's horrible to say, but that's absolutely hilarious.
