what's the number one important thing you have to do in order to induce a lucid dream?
Went to bed, hoping for a lucid dream, instead I had [B]multiple hour long[/B] dream that I was stuck on a giant airship thing, with a creepy mutant virus thing like [url=http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-610]SCP-610[/url]. Screw you, brain :v:
Okay. I give up. I can't lucid dream at all.

Do reality checks all the time when you're awake. If you're really desperate, I hear you can pinch your nose once every few minutes before going to sleep (does this actually work?) to induce one. Do a check before looking into a mirror, flipping a light switch, and getting out of bed. That should help.

Yes you can, it just takes a while. It's taken me about a year to have only one or two true lucid dreams, but it will come as long as you keep trying.

The nose thing works. It's what usually gets me in.
Coming across this thread I was just reminded of these weird sensations that I used to get when I was younger when I was really tired or just about to fall asleep, and I've never actually asked about it before.
Sometimes i'd get this feeling as if everything around me was getting further away or smaller, it was nothing visual just a feeling. And other times there'd be this sensation that felt like everything around me was getting really 'chunky' and heavy. Most of the times this stuff happened I had my eyes closed, so they weren't really hallucinations, rather more a 'spacial' sensation. It's quite hard to explain, but I was just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences (without drugs ofc)
Ha. Last night, I had a dream that I was going to sleep. I tried taking off my jeans, unbuttoned em. But the top button was closed again. I unbuttoned it again, and a second later it was closed once more. I did a reality check and it became a lucid dream.
Also had a dream that I was the king of a castle in the 1700s, and was attacked by the British in their warships. My citizens tried to get to the inner keep where I lived, for more safety, but my guards were poking them with spikes through the gates and telling them that there was no space in the keep.
I was a badass king though, so I opened the keep's gates and walked down to the outer walls to face the brits by myself, and I also happened to be a powerful wizard. I took a 10-cent coin out of a small purse, and lifted it up in the air, and as I did that, a huge sea monster rose up from the ocean and started destroying the British ships, and everyone in the castle was cheering. The British ran away and the dream ended in my victory. I woke up.
After going back to sleep, I was in the castle again. The British had come back for revenge, and this time they had a wizard of their own to counter me. He challenged me to a duel. The one who could lift the heaviest object using magic would be the winner. I accepted, and walked to the walls, pointed at a nearby mountain and lifted it with my mind. The entire mountain around 2km away, was lifted into the air and floated there. I lowered it back down and the entire earth shook as it set into place.
The other wizard noticed a cat eating fish from a plate, and he pointed his finger and just barely managed to lift the fish off the place before it smacked back down. I won the duel and the British ran away again :v:
And then there was a dream where I was dating the granddaughter of the school's chairman. Having sex with her in the school hallway was apparently completely normal as everyone who walked past just said something like "oh it's you two again" and similar stuff. Used a condom (an important fact right).
But the chairman found out about our relationship. Their family was very rich, so he wanted her to marry a rich dude instead of a normal dude, and was furious about the fact that she was dating a "commoner" (aka me). It ended up with him trying to hit me with a dart, which I dodged, but woke up afterwards.
My final dream was about ninjas. There was a girl who was a super ninja, and she wanted to train a new secret technique, but that caused her soul to leave her body and her body became a living vegetable. The dream's plot consisted of me trying to find her soul-in-training from the afterlife, and I finally found her. Had to smash through multiple japanese-style paper walls with my car, and ended up in a large training area and she was sleeping there. I shook her (soul) and she woke up really startled until she noticed it was me and she started crying and thanked me for saving her. Woke up.

You need to direct a movie.

Today i dreamed that me and a friend were walking around in a castle museum thing, we laid back on the wall and lighted up some cigs and this FAKE WALL OPENS!!!
we enter it and there was a coffin in the middle, the lightning in the room wasn't natural, as if there were 10 LED flashlights lighting up the room
my friend opens the coffin and theres nothing there, so he the joker he is gets inside the coffin WHEN IT SUDDENLY CLOSES, the ground shakes
and the stone coffin starts moving, i see a skeloton of what appears to be a princess, had a fucking tiara as well, then it materializes into my friend and he starts hunting me around the castle the whole dream.
I found a nuke crossbow (you read right) and i got off the castle, and my possessed friend was flying on one of the towers looking for me, at a safe distance i aim at the castle and BOOM castle nuked. didn't even look at the explosion, Just Cause action movie style
felt so badass
Sleeping in someone else's bed is fun.
Last night's dream was interesting. I entered an ancient tomb that had the bodies of three popes. Their ghosts appeared and tried to haunt me but they sucked at it, so they asked me for help in how to be proper ghosts. Rest of the dream was about them hanging around me, while I taught them how to be properly creepy. I was the only one who could see them so to others it looked silly when I talked to thin air. And apparently "people can hear when ghosts whisper, but can't hear them when they shout as hard as they can", so the popes spent a fair deal of their "training" whispering creepy shit in people's ears.
whenever you shoot a gun in your dream, do you miss?
I do.
Whether it's a M14, tiny revolver, automatic weapon, or anything else.
Always a miss
and it seems like I spend more time pointing them at things and hiding them than firing them.
Not that guns make frequent appearances in my dreams, probably just once every 2 months. However the times that they do tend to be extremely vivid.
I dreamt of an old abbandoned garage in the middle of the vast wastes where Legate Lanius (fallout new vegas) Started chopping down MLP characters w/ blood mess perk.
Oh boy, it was delicious.
I woke up with a smile on my face!
I played wow all day yesterday and last night I had a dream I was playing wow, getting cool items and such. I woke up to my friend saying "Its 7, if you want it." I responded with "WHERE?"
I guess this thread will get autolocked too
