I don't know if this has been answered yet, but people have been asking why you look so distorted in the mirror. I can explain this. Your mind perceives your body as looking different than it is, due to certain parts of the body requiring more neurological focus, and thus appear bigger or smaller than they really are in the mind's eye. Of course, in real life, you look in a mirror and see what you really look like. In a dream, you see what your mind thinks you look like.
How i have a Lucid dream?
[QUOTE=UserDerth;24258637]How i have a Lucid dream?[/QUOTE]
what.
[editline]09:57AM[/editline]
Dude read the first page. theres enough info to resurrect Einstein.
Last night I had a dream where I had some epic Narnia type battle against orc's and stuff, and I was a sniper. We were fighting for a mountain because our side of the world was decaying, and so was their's. I abruptly woke up before the 2 kings fought on top of the mountain.
Never got lucid :(
I had a dream where I woke up in a exact replica of my room. Then a flash of light appeared behind the window shade so I opened it to see what it was. I had another flash of light in my face and I felt my self go limb and hit the floor next to my bed then I woke up for real. I think I may have been abducted by aliens :tinfoil:
Still not getting any dreams. Just dreamless nights again and again.
You are, Namo. Every night.
You just dont remember them in the mornings.
You are a heavy sleeper.
Once again another night of forgotten dreams. Even though this is like my third day of trying to dream recall, I'm still pissed.
Gotta keep trying...

The only thing I really remember is morph balls for some reason. Like I'm watching the trailer for Metroid Other M
I had my first lucid dream in very many years. Maybe I've never had one before, don't know.
So I was dreaming, had something to do with swimming from China to Mackinaw Island. After arriving at Mackinaw(which resembled Singapore as they show it in Pirates of the Caribbean), I can't remember when or how but I figured out I was dreaming. And instead of not taking control like normal, I think I started screaming in my dream, "GO LUCID NOW!" Immediately the ground below me dropped several hundred miles and I started to fly. I had no problems flying except for the fact that it didn't feel too real. I had a gliding sensation kind of, but from what I can remember I was watching myself fly like in third person, I even remember in the dream I thought "this doesn't feel real." So I land on a bridge with the goal of going deeper so it'll feel real. Emma Watson showed up there, I wanted to go really deep before going deep if you know what I mean.(:q:) So I started sleeping and sleeping in layers of dreams. I only remember 4 or 5 layers. I remember each time I woke up on the bridge, my appearance seemed to change with each layer. I'd be a 40 year old guy, then a 20 year old, and but I knew in my mind I could fix it once I was deep enough. After about 5 layers I can't remember a thing. It's blank there. I can't remember how many layers I went before I woke up and only went up a layer. I must've gone deep enough because in a matter of seconds I went from total lucidity to tricking myself I was awake. I went in the basement to post it on Facepunch, my aunt came over to me and started talking to me about facepunch. Then it's blank again, then I woke up. Unless I'm still dreaming, which would add an extra paragraph to my story once I wake up.
Next time I need to make sure I get Emma Watson, and that it feels real when I do. It's been my goal since I first read this thread.

By the way, I woke up at about 7 in the morning(not on purpose) and fell asleep again 5 minutes later. I guess it helps while I'm still extremely tired but my concious gets up again. When you sleep again you can sleep instantly while your concious is still shutting down. So when I realised I was dreaming my concious stepped in instantly making me lucid. Just my guess. And I wasn't trying to go lucid, like I've always wanted to go lucid, but last night I hadn't been doing mild or wild or reality checks, it just happened.
I had a weird dream where we were fighting terminator-esque robots, but we were like peaceful hippies and fought with foliage. You know, like vines springing up from the ground and ripping them apart, etc.
I was a particularly advanced Leafwizard, or whatever, and when I realized we were losing I figured we needed the high ground advantage. So I stomped on the ground and built a goddamn organic skyscraper underneath us. So now we're just raining planty death on the robots, and then we won. That was it. ): No Ellen.
I had another one of my weird dreams. It was short but trippy.
So apparently there were some shrooms on the ground, not magic ones, as i've never done them in real life. I took one, they were small. Somehow also my mother took one, and we walked around. I remember my father buying one of those things that makes your toilet water blue, so I walked into the bathroom to take a piss, didn't turn the lights on and the toilet water was glowing and there were some pipes. Didn't notice anything.
I went to my room, my mother was on my computer. She said: "You dont have arms" and I didn't have arms. But then I said: "I have arms" and then I had arms, then I woke up.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;24255286]I've tried that. I experimented before on it. I had a theory that if I knew how to do something in real life, then lucid practicing it would benefit me in some way.
As it turns out, it really won't. (In this example, I attempted to play guitar better and faster.) There's an incredibly slim chance your brain somehow picked up the information so you're slightly more knowledgable about it, but the fact of the matter is that A: your muscle memory would be lacking, but more importantly B: it doesn't matter.
[B]Your subconscious is still [I]you[/I].[/B] You can't learn magical things you never knew by talking to it, it's not a secret knowledge door. I thought it was, for a while, but then I learned better.
only if you're jake and you make out with it. i'd try to have sex with mine but it looks like agent smith and i'm not gay.
Well, night terrors aren't technically the same as nightmares. Night terrors have a physical aspect to them as well; the horror of it transcends the mental part of dreaming. Let me explain:
[LIST][*]Typical nightmare: You have a scary scenario, in your brain, that you are scared of. When you get a 'kick', if you will, you wake up because the reality of the dream feels like too much.
[*]Night terror: You're scared out of your goddamn mind. You wake up yelling, you're sweating, your muscles hurt (if you've been running). It becomes so real and scary that the adrenaline the dream causes overpowers the chemicals that cause sleep paralysis (Acetylcholine, for those of you that care).[/LIST]
That being said, it sounds rather typical. Man holding a gun to your head without a face could symbolize a couple of things, really. It could mean you're worried that something bad will happen but you don't know when it will happen or where, etc., or it could mean you're worried about an event that will personally impact you in ways that you probably won't like.
The Woody thing, most likely, is completely arbitrary. If I had to make a guess, I would say that something that happened in your childhood is maybe one of the events that you're worried about, but I don't really know.
Garage, again, would be you being afraid that when that event happens, you won't be able to cope with it, or you're afraid it'll overtake you, etc.
i love dreams when i'm a girl. it's different and fun. having your sub be a girl doesn't really mean anything, and honestly if you want to be friends with it (which is ideal), pick the gender you make friends with easier. I'm in the process of changing mine.[/QUOTE]
Aha, but in one case about learning from your subconcious, things you have forgotten.
For example, i've looked over basic notes and how to play instruments, but I don't remember them exactly, you could ask your subconcious to tell you them as you already once knew them. You could in that sence teach yourself (Mentally) how to play an instrument if you already have basic knowledge.
How do people know what their subconscious looks like?
How do you know it's your subconscious and not just something you enjoy dreaming about?
Do you need to be lucid to see it?
It looks like you/tells you.
It will tell you.
Don't think so.
Dammit.
I put my alarm to 6:55 (I went to sleep at 3am), and I couldn't go back to sleep after that because there was morning light in my room and I was hungry as fuck. So, I don't remember anything.
Although I do remember reading this thread and someone told me they couldn't wait for me to read dream views.
Any tips on how to not wake up hungry in the mornings (in general)?
And in school days, how do I attempt WILD without losing much sleep? I go to sleep at 11-11:30pm, I have to wake up at 6:20am. I don't want to risk losing too much sleep.

In theory, you'd be right. But it'd only work under the following conditions:
[LIST]
[*]Dream physics, sounds, etc. all exactly resemble real life, which is impossible.
[*]You would know if you were playing something wrong. Which you couldn't, because you'd THINK it was right and therefore it would sound right.
[/LIST]
Trust me, I've tried. But it doesn't work.
I had a wet dream, not gonna go into detail.
did it involve zinayzen

It never fails me to astonish how detailed my dreams are sometimes. I bet the human brain has some serious locked up potential.
[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;24267110]It never fails me to astonish how detailed my dreams are sometimes. I bet the human brain has some serious locked up potential.[/QUOTE]
They're detailed, yes, but the problem with them is that basic laws of nature that would apply in real life don't really apply in dreams, for several reasons. One is that you don't really have to THINK about them while they're happening, because they're just there. So when you dream, you're not bound to them but you attempt to follow them because that's what your brain is used to.
I dreamed last night that this alien crystal thing landed in a lake but the lake was downtown NYC and NYC was all fucked up and destroyed so me and this guy, after we meet with the nice aliens who wanted their shit back who were teleporting cats, we got scuba gear and started down into the water through an abandoned subway train.
Then some shit attacked us like zombie Dobermans and flying whatever, I forget and then I woke up.
I'm confused.
I wish I had lucid dreams.
I only have regular, boring dreams.

need help guys
[QUOTE=Hmn30;24267950]need help guys[/QUOTE]
Workout before going to sleep (1 hour before is best)
Don't eat anything after dinner except bananas
Just google for "how to get to sleep quicker"
Also learn how to relax and learn breathing techniques, need to be relaxed for WILD.
I had a dream last night but all I can remember from it was a child standing there looking at me in and endless expanse.

Go to sleep earlier, eat a snack before you sleep.
If you want to WILD without losing sleep, don't set your alarm, just try to WILD directly into sleep. It's harder, but it's probably your best bet.

Start practicing.
I have only had only 1 lucid dream after 10 years, and its fucking amazing.
Even though i did nothing special in it, it was like ANOTHER WORLD
Like the line between real world and a dream just faded away.
YOU CAN BE ANYTHING!
Very nice read. I was happy to see that some of the things I've experienced (rarely) were listed. For example, the jumping high and flying. Too bad I have to stairmaster the air to fly instead of just superman around. :(
