My sneaky mind staged a fake successful WILD attempt after a failed one during an afternoon nap. It was so convincing (At the time) the dream collapsed from excitement and false awakened me, at which point I tried to WILD back and was put into another dream and I was lucid...
Only lasted a few seconds though... A loud noise woke me up. :argh:
Naturally, I tried to WILD back in again, but no dice. So I happily scribbled it all into my dream journal and checked off my months goal of a successful WILD. Only to realize I had fallen asleep BEFORE the 'successful WILD'...
Quite the meta-dream if I do say so myself.
why is so many people talking about the breaking and the teeth now and not earlier? Methinks this be proof that we are all mentally influenced by this thread and its contents.

I totally didn't read the context, but tooth dreams are a sign of stress. Everyone's anxious.
I dont get it. i go mild. without trying at all.
Today, i woke up. or was woken up. i just thought "fuck it" and got back to sleep.
Then my dream was lucid. Very nice!
Well, here is what i did. I wanted to try some "theories". so first i looked at my hands.
my fingers were like, veery wide, and i couldnt count them. I wanted to try it. then i saw someone barbecuing.
There was sausages.
I wanted to see if i can taste them.
MM Delicious and moist.
I guess i was woken up then.
last night I tried this for the first time in a while
saw a level from mario, couldn't control anything, tried to will in stuff, didn't work, my memory is fuzzy. was a rild.
[QUOTE=kaine123;25189051]I never have dreams, or I won`t remember them, is there any good way to start or start remembering?[/QUOTE]
80% dream journal, 20% immersion in the material.
I have been distracted with work and other things the past few days and i haven't been able to remember. I even watched the Matrix last night. From a dream point of view the movie is very different, especially the first one.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;25193854]I totally didn't read the context, but tooth dreams are a sign of stress. Everyone's anxious.[/QUOTE]
You're right it is a sign of stress, i had the tooth dream before where they just kept falling out and i was bleeding all over my sink and self, it can mean many things. Stress is a blanket term but it is harder to get more specific.
For example if you look at my earlier dream posts, i posted my "Bus Ride" dream where accidents and mayhem are happening all over, that was my subconscious speaking to me in the way it is most accustomed to saying "Hey your life is fucking crazy and chaotic, and bad things are going to happen".
I don't have those dreams anymore, but you should work on fixing what is bothering you. We can't say what that is, we don't know, only you know.
Well that was thoroughly unsatisfying. I LDed, but evidently the moral of the story that my sub was going for was my inability to cope with death. Not quite what I wanted. It doesn't help that my sub tried distracting me with other dreams so that I wouldn't remember enough to write down. It worked. Ugh.
Interestingly, though, when I asked to meet my sub, she came up and I was like 'My sub is female? Crap, I bet it's because of that LD thread... -_-'
Then she showed me to a table with some other people, presumably aspects of my mind (I'm into Jungian archetypes).
TL;DR: Apparently I don't like death
Had a few weird half-dreams. Or maybe just daydreams..... AGH im so confused.
EDIT:
I might have gone lucid, and I might have seen my sub. If so, she is a chick a little shorter than me (im about 6'2") with darker brown hair. She looked kind of sad/shy.
:3
Just to be sure, I asked her to promise to give me a lucid dream next time I sleep. She said yes. Therefore, if she was my sub, I should find out tonight.
[QUOTE=Eonart;25191746]So you are saying that we should stop asking questions which answer may save us?[/QUOTE]
I didn't say that did I? I was speculating.
Soooo... I think I may have accidentally went lucid for my first time last night.
All I remember is everything after going lucid and a little bit before. I fell into an ocean (no clue what I was doing there) and despite my best efforts to swim to the surface, I kept sinking. "I'm going to die," was my first thought, yet a split second later, I realized: "No I'm not. This is a dream."
The surface of the under water became above water - I guess my mind realized since I was breathing, I had to be above it or something - and I began to fall. I quickly thought to right myself like an airplane and pull up, sending me shooting above the waves. I toyed with the notion of lucid dreaming when this thread came up but never really got anywhere, but I remembered the spinning to keep yourself in a dream. So, I spun.
Now, at this point, I'm still pretty excited, but I decide to give myself a place to stand, at least. Maybe going lucid in the ocean on my first time wasn't the greatest of things. I pull up a lump of land, about the size of a small hill, completely dull and almost looking like Play-doh. I wasn't happy and decided to give it some color. It was almost like texturing one of my models in Photoshop: I had a color palette to the right of me and I just picked and chose what I wanted. I thought of a nice volcano in the center, but it too was 'textured' onto the land, not made 3D. My last thought was, "This looks like shit."
Then I woke up. I fell asleep at 12:30ish and the clock said 4:30. I think I'll use that as a reference next time I try to go lucid.
I'd estimate this lucidity all took about four minutes in dream-time. It was fast, faster than I thought it would be, but maybe I was too excited. I don't know, but I'm still amazed I even pulled it off.
Pfft, i still can't get lucid!
I'm having perfect dream recall every couple of nights, and i'm eating the 'banana peanut butter toast'.....
I have a feeling i keep drifting off while attempting WILDing-- any advice?
Try RILDing Jacko.
Or C-WILDing.
Also, i think it works to do reality checks every hour.
you will do them in your sleep too.
C-WILDing works for me better than anything. (without even trying to, lol)

Wait... Is there any evidence to say that when you lucid dream, other 'characters' you meet in the dream could be other people, somewhere in the world?
There's no reason why this couldn't be possible, considering there are 6 and a half billion people on the planet-- or maybe i'm just crazy, and thinking up bullshit ideas.
No, there is no evidence against it, but it seems highly improbable and there is certainly no evidence supporting it.

Generally, I think that the characters you meet in dreams are either people you've noted subconsciously from every day life (passed in the street, on tv etc.), representations of people you HAVE met, or melds of different people you know's personalities and features. I find that the characters I don't know in my dreams are either very similar to people I do know, stereotypical (e.g. recently I had what must have been an American fireman - he had a uniform I half recognised but don't see here in the UK and just acted in a way that was to be expected of a fireman rescuer) or very vague, to the point where they're just presences rather than recognisable forms.
I had a dream where I was making dinner for the house because my mom was away somewhere and my dad didn't know how to make anything besides pop tarts and cereal. I then felt metal tap up against my leg and heard "YOU GONNA MAKE BISCUITS YOU GONNA MAKE BISCUITS YOU GONNA MAKE BISCUITS" in a really familiar voice. I turned around and it was GIR from Invader Zim. YOU GONNA MAKE BISCUITS continued for about 10 seconds until I agreed to make biscuits for GIR. As a sign of gratitude, he gave me a rubber pig. Then I made biscuits for GIR and he watched TV.

I love this question.
It depends on how you're thinking about it. If you're asking in the sense of "Are there people in the world that look like my dream characters?" Barring unusual features, I'd say yes. With six billion people, the chances of that NOT happening are much lower than the chances of it happening.
If you mean are the dream characters you meet exactly identical to someone in the world, then the chances are slightly higher. Technically it's possible (again, barring unusual features), and considering we're all humans and the same in several regards, the chances aren't amazingly high, but reasonably so.
That's not to say the reverse is true. You're not dreaming about people you've met, and the characters in your dreams aren't influenced by those people. Dream characters are generally based on either people you've met, people you have opinions about, or people you see on a regular basis. (For example, your neighbor, that crazy hobo who lives in the alley, or a fireman). All three are identities your brain has a fair grasp on (not from contact, but observation). Which is generally what happens.
Dream characters themselves tend to serve a variety of purposes. Most are dream filler and just look like people with vague facial features wearing appropriate clothing (business clothes in a business area, etc.) They don't really have faces, they just have what your brain assumes is a face in the area a face should be. Picture like the crowds in Wii tennis. They don't have faces, but they have things that could be faces if you looked hard enough. Which you won't. Basically, your brain doesn't waste energy constructing things it doesn't need to.
If dream characters are going to be more personal, then they'll be filled out more. Rarely will an important character be JUST a fireman, he'll be either someone you know dressed as a fireman, or he'll be a fireman with a personality your brain deems appropriate. It's hard to explain, but it does make sense.
Okay, I had this completely fucked up dream awhile back, and the weird thing is that it was probably one of my least relevant dreams but I remember it so vividly.
I was sitting in at a wedding, at first I was just looking around, everything was decorated in white, and the lighting was extremely white as well. The people sitting around me weren't recognizable, they seemed pretty generic, but some seemed familiar. It's like I was dreaming about random people I've seen in public. It was strange because I sat for a few minutes just looking without anything exciting, it was like a normal scene though, everyone talking with each other, some getting up and coming back.
Then things got strange.
An organ starts playing some slightly different version of an 80s song, I can't remember the name of it but I know its by Eurythmics. I turn and see the bride walking down the aisle, the veil covering her face, which was impossible to make out, but on her arm was my US History teacher. As they walk down the aisle she pushes him away and runs through the alter, right past everything, then she disappears from my view. My teacher gets up and starts yelling about something, in a shrill screeching voice, I couldn't understand it all.
Then weirder.
Many of the guests got up and began running after the bride, a few were left, maybe about 3. As they ran the roof caved in on them, there wasn't any dust, and the sky that the collapse revealed was pure white, like nothing at all. Everyone is so nonchalant about the whole situation.
Then completely fucked up.
The remaining people stood up to leave out the other door so I do the same, as I turn around in walks Stevie Wonder, wearing a huge grin. My teacher, still standing by the alter, walks up to him, then Stevie Wonder pulled out a fucking Wiimote and stabbed him in the head with it. Then people start running out of the building through the collapsed section, and on the way the white sky falls on them revealing a black layer, it reminded me of some Korn music video. So I'm standing in an empty destroyed church, my teacher dead on the ground with a Wiimote in his face, and Stevie Wonder is nowhere to be found. I guess I studied my surroundings for awhile until I woke up.
What the fuck does this mean? Am I insane?

HRM, would it perhaps be "Sweet Dreams"?
If so, your subconscious is officially pro

Nah, if it was Sweet Dreams I definitely would've remembered it. It was a song I've only heard a few times, I recognized it but I don't know the name, but it's definitely by Eurythmics.
It would be so awesome to dream with other people.

Don't worry about it, Jimm's subconscious. It won't happen again unless you specifically ask it to. Which you will, but not for a long time.
That picture made me feel really weird.
Maybe I'm just weird, oh well.
On another note, I really have to remember to write in my dream journal. I do it as often as possible but I usually wake up to friends calling, and then I hang out with them for the day and forget my dream.
But I think I'm getting there, I remember my dreams much more often now, and I actually try to analyze them and learn from them.

Well, thanks for answering my question in full! (and i'm surprised you looked at it)
I had a dream a while ago, and i don't really know what it meant. I'd love for you to shed some light on it, but i don't think there's any need for me to post it here (it hardly seems that important). Reckon I could drop you a PM some time today about it?
Ugh, does anyone else ever have sort of... this is hard to describe... really indisinct dreams where your mind races and thoughts just sort of overload? It's like mock-dreaming or something. It only ever happens to me when I either have been finding it hard to sleep, or have woken up then tried to go back to sleep, but it's really weird, because it's a sort of a weird between-sleep thing. I'm not sure if I even go into SP or not, some are more immersible than others >.<
First self-induced lucid dream :smug:
This is starting to get annoying. Not only can I not seem to become lucid anymore, I can't even seem to remember my dreams! I hope I didn't do something to piss off my sub.

[QUOTE=Eonart;25219587]Explain please.[/QUOTE]
I had a really fucked up dream last night, i will only present the unbiased factual information, never the interprettaion nor do i want anyone else to interpret it. It's a pretty short story because far less dialog and events occur in this dream. It is a lot of action and missing events and strange acts.
[QUOTE]
It starts by having to take care of my Mother's old apartment, it is a place i have seemingly never seen before.
I walk in and at first things are good, but then like a bunch of monkeys start attacking me. I have no weapons at this point so I am beating the shit out of them as they attack me, punching and punching a never ending supply of monkeys. I am bitten, scratched and bleeding by time i decide to retreat. I talk to my mother and inform her about the mass of monkeys in her apartment, she seemed aware and impartial so i make it clear to her that if i go back those monkeys [u]will[/u] be shot. Like seriously, fuck monkeys.
She seems to still not care so i go to the apartment, two people are there now, Anthony (my little cousin) and some large girl, the girl is playing a game and Anthony seems to just be standing around. I see one monkey, i shoot it to death. Sorry monkey but fuck yourself. My cousin has always been a little impartial to events happening around him, neither of them seemed bothered by the monkeys or me shooting one to death in front of them, they just "don't care".
Then we start doing what we came there to do which is i think, to move her (My mother) out of the apartment.
We start cleaning things up and unplugging things, and a "pepsi" sign is flickering in the background and so i go to unplug it, i begin being shocked and at first it felt like being shocked in reality but slowly, things began to take a turn.
Anthony informs me that there is a reason I'm being shocked, something perhaps about water on the ground but i don't remember clearly.
I remember being shocked repeatedly enough to drop my gun which i had (Glock again) in hand, and blue electricity charged through it like you would see in "Back to the Future" or something but also this blue energy was surging through me, i fell down on the bed and got off the ground so that we could stop it and so we unplugged it from the wall and 2 others near it.
Then Anthony produces this quite small, metallic object which shatters glass on impact. He shatters what looks to me to be a glass case containing something.
The dream becomes blurry, i am awake, the dream has ended.
