Zin whats your game centre Id Posting from iPod 4g [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] There's an app for 59p which starts recording when it hears you talk, and stops recording when there's no sound called sleep talk recorder going to use it to try and recall some dreams [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] via jogging my memory
[QUOTE=blacksam;26982223]So I went lucid last night. I realized this because my old school had a giant water slide for no reason. It was weird though. A voice in my dream said," You're lucid." So I decided to go down the slide and the water felt so real. I all of a sudden run into a target store to buy an icee and socks. I had to wait in line. I lost my lucidness. Help? I know it sounds weird, but how do I keep my lucidity [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] How do you tell if they're false?[/QUOTE] I have a dream that I'm lucid dreaming except I have no control.
[QUOTE=blacksam;26982223]How do you tell if they're false?[/QUOTE] Well a proper lucid dream means that you have absolute awareness that you are in a dream and control the aspects of it. Semi-lucid is when you have awareness, but perhaps are not lucid enough to assert control over your surroundings/characters/situations etc. False lucid is when you dream that you are lucid, but actually it's just a dream, and you have no genuinely conscious control. Just as you can have a "mockumentary", where obviously a tv show is mocked up to appear as a documentary, you'll have a mock lucid, a staged lucid. At least it means you're thinking about lucid dreaming enough and want it enough to trigger some sort of lucid-themed reaction. Whoever's getting false lucids are only one step away.
A trick to tell dreams: Watches. When you look at a watch, in a dream, it may be at the right time. The thing is, this will change, if you look away and look back.

you can have a full blown lucid and make dumb choices though
I had this ream last night. Nothing special happened in it. I woke up, my mother said "take this" and handed me a bowl of bong water. I drank it and woke up. [editline]27th December 2010[/editline] dreams scare me
[QUOTE=doggyalt;26990467]you can have a full blown lucid and make dumb choices though[/QUOTE] If you are dumb, of course you would.
[QUOTE=Oblivious1;26990863]If you are dumb, of course you would.[/QUOTE] how rude
[QUOTE=doggyalt;26991003]how rude[/QUOTE] Rude, but honestly true.
You can't really expect to have full consciousness while asleep, ever. You'll feel compelled to do something that doesn't make sense. Maybe an answer to a question that doesn't make any sense seems logical to you for no reason. You're being overly harsh and I don't see why.
[QUOTE=doggyalt;26991382]You can't really expect to have full consciousness while asleep, ever. You'll feel compelled to do something that doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE] Not necessarily. I'm not saying it won't happen even to the most experienced lucid dreamers, but I've read some dream journals that would have me believe otherwise.
[QUOTE=1STrandomman;26992189]Not necessarily. I'm not saying it won't happen even to the most experienced lucid dreamers, but I've read some dream journals that would have me believe otherwise.[/QUOTE] which is why I said expect. Sure it's possible but highly unlikely.

[QUOTE=geogzm;26993705]Guys GUYS I had my first lucid holy fuck shit nipples I wrote down everything that I remember on my iPod notes, when I feel like waking up properly ill post the journal[/QUOTE] Since it is your first lucid. *rips off badge* I hereby remove your title as dreams advice guy. Good day to you. Post it asap
Aw I liked that badge I will soon but I need some serious sleep. I'm on my iPod at the moment. I came out of the dream 20 minutes ago and my memory is already fading. Thank god I wrote it down.

I tried that dreamviews apple juice thing. I think that's what brang me to lucidity. I feel bad for calling it bullshit now.
Well, since nothing seems to work, I've had the idea of doing it with a trick from inception. If I can get something to play music only at a certain time, without it waking me up, Maybe it'll get me lucid. I'd like to use headphones or something, but my only Mp3 player (shitty thing from like ten years ago) can't do that, and I'd really rather not leave my computer on all night. Any suggestions?
Had a dream where I was using a laptop in a weird kitchen that was entirely coated in purple and was shiny. I liked it, for some reason.
I hate dreams that you perceive as reality that are bad. Like one i had last night it was such a relief to wake up.

Copied and pasted from my dreamviews journal, where I just finished writing it. My first lucid dream by geogzm on Today at 08:05 AM The 27th of December is going to be my lucid anniversary, from now on. This is because, from 6:30 to 6:50, I had my first lucid dream. I sacrificed a fresh full english breakfast (heated it up instead, tasted mediocre) for this dream. Key: Dream Lucid Semi Lucid Non-Dream I woke up at about 4:02-4:22am, and sat around on my iPod until about 6:10. Then, I have no idea what happened between then and the dream, wether or not I fell asleep or tried WILD, but I went in to the dream. I had several dream fragments. Fragment 1: Non Lucid I was in a fancy looking restaurant, reminiscent of the local steak house. The walls were cream colored stone, with fancy red decor everywhere. Wooden chairs and columns were there too. Windows showed a road with some grass, outside. I was sat on the edge of a table with the kid from outnumbered and some other famous people (I don't remember who, exactly). I had the feeling that we were hiding from someone (unsure why), so I got down and went prone. After crawling along the floor for a bit the dream faded. Fragment 2: Bipods with iPods I was walking in what I think was the car park of my school, with my iPod in hand. I saw two extremely tall people swinging their own iPods around like clubs, and I decided to put my iPod away and walk off just in case the worst happened. In the middle of putting my iPod away, my hands went right through each other, and I realized I was lucid. I was kind of aware before, but I thought I was just tripping out. I looked at my hands go through each other and then the dream faded out. Dream: Beginning of an era I got out of bed. My hands accidentally went through each other again. I was lucid. I wasn't as shocked or excited as I thought I would be, but I felt both of those feelings anyway. I got up. My house was dark, but my room was exactly the same as normal. I think there was a purple, space-like void outside. I walked downstairs, then back upstairs. I had so many ideas in my head. I settled with the lucid crossroads ([url]http://www.lucidcrossroads.co.uk/[/url]), because I figured it would be the easiest way to get to a clear, daytime environment. I reached in my pocket like the website says, but I didn't pull out a badge like I thought I would. I pulled out thin air. Disappointed, I walked to my room, saying to myself "there will be a girl behind the door. There will be a girl behind the door." That didn't work either. I sat back down on my bed trying to think of what to do next, but I woke up out of a variety of emotions. And that's how my first lucid dream was. As soon as I woke up, I hit my iPod's music button and the credits theme from misfits came on. That coincidence made me feel like I was in a movie. I went back to dicking around with my iPod and then fell asleep until 2:53pm. Yeah, I was catching up on christmas and boxing day. I didn't sleep much on those days. I hope to have more, vivid lucid dreams. I hope I obtain more power and time, with every dream I have. Supplements in the past day: 1x Hot Chocolate 1x Glass of apple juice 1x Chicken curry 1x Burger + Bun 0.5x Fishcake (it tasted bad) Additional Notes (FP only): - Lightswitches only made things dim - Room layouts were different - Windows seemed to shift from purple space to what was actually outside [url]http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/geogzm/my-first-lucid-dream-10677/[/url] It looks better on dreamviews. Colored and all that. [editline]27th December 2010[/editline] It still felt like I was spectating a dream though. I could control myself..but it didn't feel proper. [editline]27th December 2010[/editline] How would I go about making the dream clearer, more realistic? How do I improve my control over the dream? How do I keep the dream going for more than 5 minutes?
Anybody on dreamviews who thinks OBE's and Astral projection are real from experience probably just had it happen in a dream.
