Since i tried weed a few months ago, i'm better at realizing i'm dreaming.
I think it's because being high, the best i can describe it, feels like you are in a dream. Or like you are just waking up from one.
I had a pretty funny dream last night, I wandered into an office and found some guys that did no work all day but managed to keep their job somehow.
[QUOTE=DJswitch;30861686]Is there any reason why I'm dreaming so much lately? The past 4 days brang me 3 dreams.[/QUOTE]
You dream every night (very few exceptions). Your recall is just getting better.

So, when you first started practicing, when did the 'lucid dreams' come around, how much time did it take for your mind to do RC's daily and in-dream?

Uh...that's difficult to answer.
Generally speaking, the best possible order of things is the following:
1. Start keeping a dream journal. Try to write in it EVERY DAY. I recommend that when you wake up, lay still for a second and try to solidify your thoughts at that moment. Usually you'll have "dream residue". Write whatever that is down. Don't bother being formal, just keywords. Or symbols, those can be important. Just get your brain used to remembering what happens.
2. Once your recall is solid, you can start trying to LD. (We do it this way because even if you LD, there's no point if you can't remember them at all.) Use some of the techniques outlined in the OP.
It usually takes anywhere between 3 weeks to 5 months (terrible estimates) to get your recall really solid, but there's always room for improvement. Keeping a DJ even when you're confident with your recall is important.
LDing every day is hard (and sometimes not fun). It'll take a LONG time before you can do it on a regular basis. I've done it for like eight years now and I still don't do it every night. (Granted, I don't want to either.)

Well, I use my old drawing sketchbook(I plan on getting a real sort of writing-in book someday), but it works as well for now

I went lucid today in a nap.
Was cool shit bro.
For the past three nights, I have been having horrible nightmares where I killed Dumbledore, all in gruesome ways :suicide:
I'm getting angry. I started a dream journal exactly a week ago and I've only been able to write down one entry, and that was last Sunday. WHY DO MY DREAMS HATE ME!!!
When I had my first lucid dream, i got hit by a car, and then went lucid! And then I was in like... Blue space. Between places that I wanted to go to. It was an amazingly beautiful blue space. And Nicholas cage told me a story, about the meaning of life. It was pretty awesome.
Man, I haven't gone lucid in years. I should get back into that. Nowdays I've just fallen asleep and controlled it there, but I haven't really been awake, I just remember affecting the things in the dream.
[QUOTE=Beezleboss;30883292]I think I'm slowly developing what will eventually be Somniphobia.
I worry that something uncontrollable will happen to me in my sleep. e.g murdered, cardiac arrest, abducted etc etc, the list goes on.
What can I do? :([/QUOTE]
I've had that before.
It just goes away on its own. Either that, or be positive.
Who would murder/abduct you anyway? Your mom?
Two dreams remembered from last night.
One involved a tropical island somehow inside a warehouse. It was pretty vivid, but I can't remember it that well.
In the other, I was eating some buttered toast. It had barely any visual vividity, but I could feel myself crunching down in it. And I could taste it.
It tasted like someone milked an angel and made butter with it.
Woo oh my god had the weirdest dream ever last night
It was the [sp]huge ass gear wall scene-thing in a dark room from Portal 2[/sp]
And something came out of it and explained what seemed a apocolyptic setting
and there was a run down house, and there was a chest in it. There was also two robotic like manniquen-thingies trying to get into the house, but apparently I went into the house before them with another chest and the dream sorta ended. :v:
Facepunch I had the fucking most amazing dream that anyone could ever have, a solar flare hit earth and knocked out all of the power releasing a genetics companies dinosaurs and undead, so it was like Humans VS Zombies VS Dinosaurs in chicago just fighting it out and I was like spectating it all too. I have no fucking clue what I smoked, ate, or watched that would have induced such beautifulness.
i had a dream last night where i died and was reincarnated as jafar but also a jedi
i win the weird dream contest
Just started playing Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
Holy shit.
High-octane [i]customized[/i] nightmare fuel.
I saw a dream that I was in a wizard competition or something, we raced with brooms and such. And your "power level" was decided on how high you could fly. Some could only go 20 metres but I could go up to 450.

I don't know if I should laugh or not.

I sometimes have this recurring nightmare where I'm in a huge warehouse with no lights except the flashlight I have and there are various things out to kill me. Like sometimes there is a granny who is coming after me trying to feed me cookies covered in anthrax, and other times there is a crazy lady looking for me because she thinks I am her child, and when she finds me, she stuffs me up her vagina.
The one I had last night involved this kid looking for his mom, whom I saw earlier, but she was a zombie in a cage. The kid went psycho on me with a knife. We were in a sewing room, so I was throwing scissors at him. Both of his eyes had scissors in them, but he was still coming. When he finally jumped on me, he started stabbing and was screaming, "You're a mommy killer! You're a mommy killer! Why don't you say hi to my mommy in Hell!"
It wasn't the weirdest in this "series" of nightmares, but it wasn't the most normal.
One time a few years ago, I had one of these dreams. I heard a stampede coming. It was a bunch of zombie dinosaurs. I started to run away from them. Eventually, I found a door and opened it. I fell off a huge cliff and looked up. The warehouse was about the size of the entire state of Colorado and it was just floating in the air. I kept falling for (what seemed like) hours. When I landed, I didn't die. I got up and looked around. I landed in Minneapolis, Minnesota near the Mall of America. There were billboards everywhere advertising the warehouse, saying it was the only protection from the Commies. Shortly after, I was ambushed by Communist ninjas. They threw red stars at me and I exploded. My last words were, "STALIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN!" That was the only time in the "series" where I made it outside of the warehouse.
i dreamt up a writhing mass of something.
Shit was so freaky, woke up at 4.
Well, the scifi convention I went to was awesome, but I'll try to keep stuff at least tangentially dream-related. Expect a long setup for not much payoff.
So a friend of mine tried getting hooked up with some chick that was pretty cool. He didn't get a number, though, and all he knew was that she was planning on going to a 2 AM showing of Inception. This was a slight problem, as we (3 male friends and one girlfriend of one of the male friends; he went as Jesus, she went as Chell) didn't have a hotel room, and instead roomed at Chells' parents' house a half-hour away. We stayed for Inception anyways, and met up nearby to talk to an ex-Scientologist. There was a kid that was clearly autistic (and not in a good way) that was also there, and we all went inside. I was told to avoid being a cock-block, so I ended up sitting alone. As luck would have it, the autistic kid didn't have a problem with sitting and talking to my friend. Evidently, he was talking about astral projection, having been a demi-god in a past life, and prophetic dreaming. According to him, feeling physical sensations in dreams means it will happen, which my friend disagreed with considering his dream about disemboweling Chucky only to find his insides made of Koosh balls or whatever the actual term is.
I also had some interesting dreams, but with all the stuff going on, I couldn't quite keep track. I do know that I had a dream related to things from Doctor Who that you forget seeing as soon as you look away; a person had cosplayed as a person that marked herself for each one she saw. Cool stuff, considering I totally forgot that dream until halfway through the day.
So long story short, Jesus buddy won a 4-way Jesi battle with boffing weapons (foam swords, staves, polearms, etc.), Chell unexpectedly received some sextastic cake, my cock-blocked buddy found out his hopeful gf was, again, a lesbian (he's still interested though), and my other guy buddy quit quitting smoking, and smoked 2 packs a day and drunk till he puked every day.
Oh, and I went to an impromptu brony meet-up at a party room dedicated to a future LGBT convention. My opinion improved greatly upon finding that the first season has episodes dedicated to psychotic breaks in every one of the main characters. Awesomely creepy ass stuff if you make it that far.
Oh, and I now have nose pillows. No distilled water, though, but water bottle water should do for tonight. It's really only important since I wake up with a dry mouth every day, so the humidifier should help greatly. In any case, gonna take some getting used to.
Also, has anyone been on the "Film your self while you sleep" thread in the GD forum?
Seems related enough to mention.
I just beat Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.
MINDFUUUUUUUUUUUCK
More on-topic, I actually remember dreams more and have a better chance to go lucid when I take 1 hour naps in a sitting position.
Goodnight, Facepunch. Off to (hopefully lucid) dream land.
I've had dreams about the last day of school for the past few weeks almost every night.
Each one is a little different, but they all have to do with the last day of school.
whyyyy
I stayed up all night last night. I'm eating bannana bread and drinking choclate milk, when I pass out what type of fucked up dreams should I have
Does it seem strange to anyone that whenever I have dreams that are suppose to be scary I just go "oh, okay"? For example last night I had pretty horrifying dream in hindsight where I was living in a small town with about 20-30 people, all of whom I know in real life, where one day I woke up and everyone was gone, it was dark and there were a few dead dogs and a blood trail leading into a forest. Me being me, I followed this trail into the forest where I found bodies that had been cut up/set alight.
Now obviously in real life this would frighten me to death but in my dream I just didn't care about what danger I was in, I was only worried for those still missing. Does this happen to anyone else?
yeah, one time I had a dream where I was the only survivor of a bus crash and I had to clean up all my friends' remains, and I was a little bit sad but it really didn't bother me much.
Magical lucid time last night!
I had two lucids last night!
Like Orkel mentioned a few pages ago, my first lucid was not all that vivid.
On the other hand; these were mega-hella vivid.
I'll type up the descriptions at some point.
