[QUOTE=RainbowPillows;31297460]I had a lucid dream that only lasted for about 15 seconds. I woke up in bed and I had my phone turned back on the day before so the first thing I did was look at the time. I don't remember the exact time but I put it down and chilled for a minute and was trying to send a text to my nephew when I looked at the phone and the time was all screwed up. I started talking to myself at this point.
"What the.."
"Wait.. Am I..?"
I closed my nose and mouth and breathed in a deep and refreshing breath and let go to scream.
"WOAH I'M DREAMING, YESSSSSS!" I ran fast as hell out of my room to tell everyone but before I could find anyone I woke up. :(
Hope it happens again, I've read some tricks to extend them and whatnot.[/QUOTE]
If you want to stay in a lucid dream, try not to get too excited. Also, stabilization. Grabbing and touching stuff works very well.
I had 0 dreams
because I couldn't fall asleep and at 5 I decided I'd just play beatles rock band until I had to work.
I keep having dreams where my boyfriend dies
Every dream he's in he ends up dying one way or another
Should I be worried?
P.S.
Before you hit that pretty little rainbow down there, I'm female

Also I think I've had lucid dreams before, I realize things aren't quite right and I stop and think for a second... "Wait, this isn't right... I'm dreaming!" And throughout the rest of my dream I go around trying to tell people IN the dream that everything is a dream. Nothing is real. But no one in the dream ends up listening to me or believing me.
You shouldn't be worried, it's a dream.
I know, but... It kinda freaks me out.
I guess I'm just really worried about ever losing him. So much so my subconscious tortures me with scenes of him getting brutally murdered in one way or another.
Sometimes, it's me killing him but in the same dream I usually end up killing my family and friends too.
... Which is why I need to stop going to bed angry.

I also have dreams of a certain FP user stalking me and then surprise dropping a load of boxes onto me.
You know who you are.

I would post if I had something more.... productive to talk about then just me failing at WILD every time I try.
[QUOTE=DJswitch;31236407]Well, usually, professional lucid dreamers can do it, but it can rarely happen to those just beginning it. If I wake up from a dream, I focus on that dream and go back to sleep. Having the thought where your dream ended and continuing it can make your brain 'go back' to your 'same' dream.[/QUOTE]
Ha. Professional dreamers. That amuses me.1

I miss my life when i was 5-10 years old. it was the time when i can control my dream's, not just watch everything like a movie... :saddowns:
here's a dream long ago:
the world was a bit rusty brown, airships roam the skies. i call it a steampunk dream.
i was aboard one of those ships, looking below fully metal house filled with tinkering gadget's not known of origin. i faintly remember all the details from it beacause i was 10 year's old back then..
but the dream was like it lasted year's, seeing brown mountain's and a rusty world was a bit strange but i was moved by it. the dream ended in me falling when the airship collided with a mountain due to a malfunction of some sort.
This is probably a reason why i like finding steampunk movies of some sort (e.g. jasper morrelo.)

I'm not, it's just being called a professional dreamer is amusing.
Managed to get lucid for the first time this morning, :D
Last night I tried WILD but only got to sleep paralysis, Then In my morning dream I did a reality check.
[QUOTE=Eonart;31344620]did you accidentally waste it or do fun things?[/QUOTE]
In all honesty I did it by compleat accident, I've been trying all week and I have a lie in where I fell asleep. Then suddenly for no reason I look at my clock and then look back and then bam, I realised that I would wake up very soon and rubbed my hands and shit and it worked then I started to fuck with environment around me and when to some odd beach then tried using my laptop and then fucked up. Then woke up.
I still remember that dream in which I decided to check how "real" dreams are actually are. I decided to make big explosion and tell to myself how real it was. Man, it was more real than real world.

I meant, world was so detailed
[editline]26th July 2011[/editline]
Maybe because I have eye rated at -4
my eyes are -6.5 and -7
which is why dreams are awesome, because i can see ALL THE THINGS

I suggest against yelling I'M DREAMING. Yelling isn't really a problem in itself (although I would stabilize first), but saying anything about dreams is very much not a good idea until you're fairly good at it. For the first couple months or so of dreams (by that I mean the first ~10 or so dreams) your brain is confused and not willing to play along with LDs, so don't make a point to make it super obvious.
Pretend that you're in a spaceship getting ready to go onto the moon. Once you land, you don't just run out the door onto the moon, you would implode. You have to go through the motions and PREPARE yourself to do it. That's what you should do when you LD. Once you get in, stabilize. Get your bearings. I suggest looking at your hands. They'll start kind of fuzzy, then solidify into a hilariously detailed view. Then look at something close to you, like a wall. Once everything's not fuzzy, you're good to go.
My dreams almost ALWAYS start off like I'm in a room filled with bloom. Everything's bright and fuzzy. Kind of like when you exit the vault in Fallout 3.
I had a dream in which this woman and a female friend from school moved into my apartment after my parents went for the first day of a vacation that would last 10 years. Everytime I was at home with Miranda Lewis , (the woman I mentioned before), she would only be wearing a bikini and nothing else and she would repeatedly try to shove her hand into my underwear and to have sex with me. And she acted like a combination of seductive and creepy all the fucking time.
Here's what Ms Lewis looks like

Why do you say she TRIED to have sex with you? Why didn't she?
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;31351011]Why do you say she TRIED to have sex with you? Why didn't she?[/QUOTE]
I have no fucking clue. My subconsciousness like putting me in dreams that make no sense whatsoever.
I had a fucking weird dream where I put a log in my pillow and it was full of bugs
Sometimes I'm awake mentally before I'm awake physically. The sleep paralysis makes me panic because I can't move or wake up, no matter how hard I try. So then I start freaking out and I try to yell or something, hoping someone will hear me and help me, but I can't open my mouth. Sometimes I'm dreaming, and I'm aware that I'm dreaming, and I try to talk to people in my dream to help me, but again, I can't really physically talk. Usually I'm dying. Nobody ever stops to help. They act like I'm not there.
At that point I either get lucky and finally wake up, vowing to never again fall asleep, or I just drop back into regular sleep and my mind shuts off.
Does this happen to anyone else? I fucking hate it.
no, but sometimes I will be trying to fall asleep and be perfectly conscious, even moving around, and then out of nowhere I hear a voice and jolt fully 100% awake.
its creepy
[QUOTE=Jo The Shmo;31356709]no, but sometimes I will be trying to fall asleep and be perfectly conscious, even moving around, and then out of nowhere I hear a voice and jolt fully 100% awake.

It's a telltale sign of sleep paralysis, a stage in WILDing(and some other methods, I think).
I tried WILD again and got to the point where I was hearing shit. I thought I heard my cat purring under my bed, but it sounded incredibly scary like there was a fucking mountain lion under my bed. I got up and looked under my bed and there was nothing there, save for the usual shit (bb gun, socks, gatorade bottles) and the weirdest chill went down my spine. Then I heard scratching coming from my closet, and I was like AW HEEELLLLL NAAAAWWWWWW and got back in bed and forced myself out of it and fell asleep.
Either I was almost there, or the whole damn thing was a dream, I have no idea.
off to bed.
[QUOTE=Eonart;31362422]still not answered guys[/QUOTE]
your dreams are influenced, generally speaking, by things that are on your mind. so if you want music to affect your dreams, listen to it before you go to sleep and then just don't worry about it, your brain will do the rest.
Typically, that's the only way anyone controls their dreams from outside of them. you can try to find some other way, but that's probably your best bet. fall asleep to it and keep it playing all night.
I almost always dream about whatever I'm thinking about as I fall asleep. I used to dream in Japanese when I fell asleep to it, not understanding it at all. I've made music videos in my sleep and those are the best.

Well, of course. Sound seems like the most viable sense to use to influence yourself while dreaming, but I'm sure that any other sense (save for sight, of course) would work equally well. It really just depends on the strength of the stimulation.
ok I had some relatively normal dreams, about the last day of school like I've been having for a few weeks for some reason.
But then there was this weird thing.
I was in my room, and I was like "I'm going to do a reality check!" but I also decided to spin around so I would make my dream more vivid if I was having one. But it was really late and I started to lose balance, and I didn't want to wake anyone in my house up by falling.
Anyway I did the one where you press your hands together, and they [i]didn't[/i] go through each other, so I was like "ok guess I'm not dreaming"
whyyyy
now that I look back on it I definitely was dreaming.
i don't understand why music is so important to you
but if you're not careful this will happen
