Sleep and Dreams Megathread - General

Zin, include in the OP that we are called oneironauts (oh-NIGH-ro-knots) meaning "Explorers of the dream world" Few sleeps left in my own bed before I get posted down south to Reading :(

My last night's dream was about ghosts. I was at a field where a guy had suicided 50 years earlier, and it was exactly 50 years ago. We were there because it was the same date, and therefore wanted to record paranormal activity and stuff. Needless to say, dreams which involve ghosts rarely end up good, so I woke up in cold sweat with a lingering horrifying ghostly scream echoing in my ears and a warped face floating on the back of my eyelids because I wasn't 100% awake just yet.

I thank this thread. For most of my life I have never remebered my dreams except the bad ones. Such ones include me constantly getting killed by some random who once I am able to kill turns out to be my brother, me being killed and sent to heaven only tobe sent down for sinning(I ain't christian BTW) and me wandering into my parents room their faces falling off, grabbing me, exploding and forcing me to wake up in a cold sweat. But last night was one of the better nights. All that happend was my parents getting divorced and gets really fuzzy from then on but the main thing is that I wasn't awoken by it.

I've been trying for a week to gain lucidity, I bought vitamin B6 and chromium, ate a pb and banana sandwich, listened to subliminal mp3s, everything, and I can barely remember my dreams at all. A little help someone?

Time and commitment to a dream journal agnl

And keep a dream journal and it will probably happen eventually.

If you have a regular sleep pattern try waking up 1h - 30mins before so you awaken from REM sleep, you will remember everything in detail.

I had to lie in bed for 15 minutes before I remembered my last dream. My mom kept asking if I was getting up or not.

You will also find you recall dreams when looking at an object or doing something when awake as you did it in your dream. I recalled a whole dream by looking at a 7.62 round on my key chain :D

Thanks guys, Great thread. Way better than the DV community. I will try journaling and meditating before bed tonight, wake up a bit early out of REM sleep, and report back. Also, who here has communicated with their subconscious? How do you do something like that once you are lucid?

i remembered half of mine today by looking at water in crysis :ohdear: [editline]08:10PM[/editline] Agnl i think we have three? People that talk to their sub. To do it you need to summon it, (just think like "when i turn around i will be in a field with my sub") then just have a conversation like its a person

I just wonder who my mind would interpret my subconscious as. Is there any way to guess this, Zin?

I can't wait to see the form mine takes, so many possibilities.

Not really, no. You just have to do it. Theoretically, if it doesn't have a form, it looks like a pink/purple cloud. But usually it has a form.

I had a LD last night. I walked down the stairs in my house and saw it was raining. I tried the the light switch that is down there. It worked D: But I realised I was dreaming when the rain didn't feel cold or warm though.
