[QUOTE=Midtown123;34361416]In all of my lucid dreams across the period from which I had started, I had never managed to summon anything until last night. It was weird, I kind of had to imagine the cold touch of glass on my hand to summon a vial of Lucid Dream Extender. Shit's tasty.[/QUOTE]
Did it work?
I can't control my dreams very well, but I can make things happen if I convince myself it will happen, or if I create something in a different room. I always wake up before using anythimg I create, though.
(Sorry for the mega-post without being a regular in advance, these are just some thoughts I've had for a while and wanted to talk about.)
I guess this could be my subconscious or whatever, but there is a reoccurring redheaded girl who I just know is a part of me in my dreams. It's kind of hard to understand why but I just relate with her really well and she generally fights off anything bad that comes in my dreams with relative ease. She always knows what to do and she talks to me.
Oddly enough, however, she talks to me in actual dialogue that I can look back on and remember in a distinct voice that makes complete sense.
Stuff like where she said "When there are no problems to be found, people tend to cause their own problems.". It's like there was just this siphon of knowledge and wisdom that comes to me whenever she speaks. There have been multiple times where there have been things like demons chasing me and she's known exactly what to do to get rid of them I just have to follow her advice.
Also, I don't know if this is normal, but I don't dream in first-person. I almost always dream in third person and I'm just watching a character in a story. I always know that I have a sort-of control of everything going on, but I always have boundaries that I know in my gut will mess everything up somehow. For instance, every time it does happen to be me in my dreams instead of me dreaming as someone else and I'm about to do something like tell a crush how I feel about them, they let me down and [i]then[/i] they tell me that it's a dream and I should wake up, and then I do. It's really annoying that my dreams will tell me that they're basically kicking me out and I have no idea why. It works well for nightmares because once stuff starts getting too unrealistic there's just a flash of white and I'm awake, but every time something really good is happening it does it too.
My dreams also usually make linear sense and follow plots, I don't know how normal that is. For instance, I was at a beach talking with a bunch of people, and inside a near-by shop was an internet cafe. There was this blind guy at the beach and I walked over to him, and we ended up becoming friends, and then his mom talked about how he'd gone blind because of some gas at a riot or something when he was a kid and she blamed herself because she brought him there. Me and the guy sat there talking about the usual stuff, and then when I tried to tell him something personal about myself, I forget what, he told me that whatever it was was impossible because I was dreaming and I instantly woke up and felt terrible for some reason. But it all made sense up to that point with nothing to tip me off it was a dream besides maybe a hint of weird but entirely possible architecture.
Then, I went back to sleep because my dreams boot me out at odd intervals of the night, and I don't remember anything else with it.
As far back as I can remember my dreams I don't recall usually being myself. The first dream I remember having was in Kindergarten and I was a businesswoman (which is funny because I'm a dude).
As for the characters, I assume the positions of them but I'm never myself. I see through their perspective but I know that if something bad were to happen to them it would not be me experiencing it, and every once in a while it skips to third person to show what they're doing or what they look like. I've been men and women, young and old. The last dream I recall well I was a fourteen-year-old girl named Lucile whose cousin had just died, and then in the next dream (I usually remember multiple dreams) I was watching a couple who were in their early 20's walking through a graveyard and having a philosophical conversations about how the entire world is technically a graveyard and only fences and tombstones make us think of graveyards as the "places for the dead".
The first post also mentioned the subconscious talking through music in your head. Music plays in my dreams sometimes.
Two nightmares I had were to these two songs:
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbHdxflCgCU]Song 1[/url] (It was scary as shit I can't even describe how terrified I am to think of that dream, even now)
[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7mPppJYUwI]Song 2[/url]
In song 2, it was specifically [url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7mPppJYUwI&t=1m44s]this part[/url] looped over at over again. (1:44-2:45)
Ironically that was the dream where I was a girl named Lucile, and I guess her cousin had cursed a gift that she sent to her right before she died so when she got it in the mail demons were cursing the objects. If I remember it all correctly, the demon's souls could only be lost in infinity if they were stuck between two mirrors facing eachother for a prolonged period of time, and I (or should I say Lucile) got that advice from none other than the red-headed girl's voice. Telling her (me) what to do.
It's just all really confusing and I feel like my dreams are atypical, to say the least.

You're doing it right, though. Easiest way to make things happen is for them to happen out of your line of sight. Even in a dream, your brain can deal with things happening out of sight than it can things miraculously appearing in front of you.
I can hear my parents having sex through the wall. Oh my god. ;-;

Or dad just threw up. He's sick with the flu, now that I think about it.
Either way, I'm uncomfortable.
My dreams are getting interesting.
I had a really cool one last night about video games that don't exist, and I kind of woke up from that "sub-dream" if you will, and told Mom about it.
Then I woke up for real and had the exact same conversation.
:tinfoil:
Last night's dreams were pretty disturbing. They were very long, and they were filled with horrible, horrible things, from murdering women and spending the rest of the dream trying to hide the horribly smelling rotting corpses, while being constantly haunted by their angry ghosts, all the way to causing traffic accidents and sentencing the innocent dead to hell to be eternally ripped apart by a pack of dogs only to be resurrected and be ripped apart again, sometimes from the inside out. And luring thousands of people in a closed alley and then pouring lava on them with no way to escape because of the gates being locked.
It was a disturbing night, not a single good dream. Haven't had dreams like this in years.
I had a dream that my little brother woke me up at 6:30 by playing my xbox. I woke up and told him to get the hell out, then I remembered I hadn't set my alarm. I set the alarm, then K walked into the room and touched me, waking me up in real life. I looked at the clock and it was 6:30. Turns out I hadn't set my alarm in real life either.
K saved my ass from being late again, fuck yeah.
I now regained faith in my mental health.
When even in a dream I find my brother's head being half his body length totally impossible, I think I'm sane. Becoming lucid (twice) and hovering like a boss was an added benefit.
I hate the dreams where I'm talking with my brother about lucid dreaming and he does a reality check, but it doesn't occur to me to do one too.

I don't think I've ever had a dream that fucked up. Hope they get better.
Anyway, last night's dream was like many others. I was on a shrink's couch, alone in a stereotypical psychologist's office. Just staring straight forward, looking out an opaque window.
Might have something to do with depression.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;34353471]After 2 months I got the exact same dream, where in the end I snap the same guy's neck and say "Requiescat in Pace".
what the fuck can this mean? The man getting killed by me doesnt look familiar.[/QUOTE]
Anyone? Really bothers me, given the fact that the dream was exactly as it was the first time.
Also, At least 4-5 a week I have a dream about two girls from my class who piss me off really deep I hate them. Why?
[QUOTE=Orkel;34179193]Had an extremely vivid and high quality lucid last night. It was amazing.
At the end of it though, I found a box addressed to me. I took the top off, and there was something wrapped in paper inside of it, surrounded by red canvas that it fitted in. But I woke up before I could see what the object was.
Goal in next lucid: find out.[/QUOTE]
Had a lucid last night, it was of great quality and lasted longer than usual. First I pitted a bunch of miniature soldiers against eachother and watched them fight, it was entertaining. There were musketeers and renaissance swordsmen with rapiers and silly hats, with really nice moves. After one side got defeated, I clapped at the victors and congratulated them, and they smiled, bowed and left.
Then I created the box. I opened it and unwrapped the paper covered object, and it was [B]a miniature bakery stand made with brown clay[/B]
Clapping seems to work like hand rubbing when it comes to stabilization, but better because instead of stimulating just touch, it creates both touch and sound and is more snappy in general

Your dreams were likely not exactly the same, but your brain remembered them that way. dreams are not necessarily concrete memories (because nothing technically happened), so your brain is susceptable to changing the memory to be compatible with other memories that you've had before. So likely the two dreams were entirely different, but your brain used one to fill in the gaps of the other.
it's the same phenomenon as [URL="http://www.thisman.org/"]this man[/URL]. The face is vague enough to be compatible with just about anything, and because it's a REAL, visible image your brain can easily just superimpose it onto the memory of your dreams.
Also, you probably just really hate them. I don't understand the question.

I've always preferred putting my hands up to my face. It's easier to make everything clearer that way, in my opinion. I'll know when I'm fully stable because my fingerprints will suddenly come clearly into view.
Ok, this is starting to get annoying. About a week ago I started to wake up in the middle of the night randomly around 5 hours into my sleep. I don't know if I wake up from because of my dreams, I don't think that it's me realizing that I'm dreaming. No loud noises or anything that would normally wake me up either.

You should really cut down on the Dwarf Fortress, especially the last one is Dwarf Fortress all over
Last night I dreamt of discomfort.
People did and ate things which made me uncomfortable.
It was awful.
I was about to do this cavity search but luckily I woke up.
I had a dream I had a magic blanket that when I tied it like a cape, I could fly and a mask would appear over my face. I went to go do superhero stuff but I couldn't find any crime, so I ended up stalking people around my dream version of the airport. Their reaction wasn't at all what I experted.
Also, as with previous flying in my dreams, it seemed I had barely enough lift to get off the ground, like an overloaded chopper.
Shit, Running is really is hard in lucid. Had a "Nap" (long ass nap) today.
Also I did manage to not only do a DILD but a DEILD!
When I fell asleep yesterday, I fell asleep but I was still "awake" (unintentionally). I heard a loud buzzing sound in my ears, and I knew that a part of my brain had fallen asleep. I felt like I was falling for a couple of seconds. I ignored the feeling, as I knew that I would soon be lucid dreaming. But then I felt another kind of falling. I felt that I fell out of my bed into a bottomless hole, and then it just all got too weird, and I decided to wake up myself (a bit troublesome as I was paralyzed).
But I saw no imagery during this. It was just black, like when you close your eyes. So was this a WILD, or what was it?
I can't really say, but it sounds like that's hypnagogic and stuff.
You're probably really close.
Woah shit guys

On the flip side, ready your tinfoil hats.
I burned to death in a car accident, my dad was there too. He just moved back in today, so I guess that's what triggered it.
I fucking hope I'm not a precog.

If you are, you can have fun but with no reason for ethical qualms at all. You're gonna die, after all!
You can try to see into the land of the dead. If you fail, you can pick whichever religion as the right one (because it's state-encouraged pastafarianism).
You can frame police officers for committing future crimes.
You can circumvent Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Maybe.

Or I can just sell the release date of Episode 3 to the highest bidder.
Also, why is my post dumb? that dream wierded the fuck out of me
You're not dumb, he's just a Schmo.
that he is
I had a dream a few nights ago. It was pretty much me running around in a neighborhood map in Gmod. you don't see many decent neighborhood maps, and I fucking love suburban maps. The one in my dream was fairly decent. I think it may had good brushwork, and most, if not all of the houses had detailed interior. It almost felt like the best map I ever played in. It was like as if it was pushing the boundaries of Hammer as much as possible, maybe even beyond the possibility of doing so. Then I woke up, realized it was just a dream, and became disappointed that such a map never existed.
I know, it's not a very exciting dream compared to a lot of the dreams posted here, but I just felt like posting it here.
I had a dream last night that I went on facepunch and in sensationalist headlines it said the doomsday clock reached 12:00 and people were shitting bricks.
because you think that precognition is an actual thing
I slept for 14 hours last night :v:
Very interesting, long lasting dreams.
Also, while still half-ish asleep, before fully waking up, I tried drinking some potions in my mind's eye to attempt to help me out:
A potion of improved dream recall, a potion of improved mental visualization, and a potion of always lucid dreaming should at least set my mind on the path of letting me induce a lucid dream so I can drink some potions with more potent effect.
