Default Do You Lucid Dream?

What I mean by this is: does your dreams feel like you're actually awake?

My personal examples: I had a dream that the tsunami wave that was all over the media was sweeping over my area. In this dream, I could see the wave and feel the moisture in the air as if I was actually there in real life. If you go stand in the middle of the interstate and get ran over by a car, you'll know what I felt when the wave hit me in the dream. Or take another one: I dreamed that I was running through a rainforest and there was a pure white couch sitting in the middle of it. I ran over to the couch and just dived into it and I could actually feel how soft it was. It was like laying on a cloud. I could hear the sounds of the animals in this dream...just like every other...and it was just like I stepped into my own rainforest.

The controlling your dream poll is just for me to see if I'm the only one or not...which I believe the answer would be the latter. I can think of something to happen in my dream and it will. I was just wondering if anyone else out there had the same experiences.

Default RE: Do You Lucid Dream?

Then you mean having dreams of being lucid.

No. I always know my dreams are dreams, and my nightmares (which hasn't happened in a long time) are only ever one of the same two. So I don't get much diversity in nightmares. One is the running dream, but one, I know what I am running from, and two, it doesn't chase me, it always happens to be at the place I just run to. The other is a super simple abstract idea, which is actually only a reactive dream.

But my dreams almost never are of me actually being somewhere in full conciousness. I always seem to know better, but the so my mind says oh well and makes the best of it. The inability to escape the nightmares though is actually a conscious though, and so is part of the entrapment.

I have dreams where I know I'm dreaming, and start to take advantage of false sensations of the onconscious world, but the reason this is possible is because I am in the process of becoming conscious again, so it never lasts long. Usually just up to the point where I would have had se...oh wait

In some dreams I can control myself, but usually when I realize this I come back into the conscious world. Like sometimes I dream of myself having the ability to fly, but I abruptly wake up just when I start to enjoy the ability.
It would be awesome if we could control all of our dreams for a long time....Imagine, a dream world where you can do anything you want without anyone in reality knowing...

Okay, another point.

Another personal example: I watched the Matrix movie for the first time about 3-4 months ago. That night, I dreamed that I was in the movie where the one dude and 'the one' had their fight in the subway. They weren't there...I was there alone. The telephone started ringing. Those who have seen the movie knows that when the telephone rings, you're supposed to wake up or whatever out of where you are. Anyways, the telephone rings and I pick it up. Instantly, I woke up in my room and not even 3 seconds later...my alarm clock went off.

I just thought that was odd. In reply to alainbryden's statements, I've been able to kiss my boyfriend (one of those innocent pop kisses) and totally live in just that moment. I've never tried to control my dreams into anything else. Although, it's not me who wakes up first...it's usually the parents who beat on the door or something. (LOL) You never realize how much you really want to sleep until a dream like that comes along.

I never thought of my statement like that. :P I am very thankful that I don't talk and go on in my sleep, or at least no one has ever told me I have. (LOL) In all reality, I've never had a dream like that and I don't want to. I'd just rather wait until it could ACTUALLY happen. (LOL)

I don't think it's possible to have a dream like that until it's actually happened :P That's why I always wake up right before :P

:P It hasn't happened here either. (LOL) I agree with your statement though...I don't think it's possible either to have a dream like that until it's actually happened. This will be QUITE a few years until that ever happens on my end.

I had one of those real dreams.

I was in it for around 1 hour earth time, not dream. It was very amusing because I went into my karate studio, stole food, jumped off a building, went on a cruise, and a lot more.

All was fun while it lasted. I actually didn't need to wake up during the time, I even thought wtf why am I not making up, heh.

That sounds like something one of my guy friends at school would say. He would totally love that dream.

I had a dream where I was supposed to die but at the last second i ran around a building
and didn't die, but i lost the feeling in my entire body for a good three seconds after I woke
up, which was immediately afterwards.

I had a dream before where I was in this underground bunker type thing. I can't remember it quite well, but I believe I fell or something in the dream. When I woke up, my legs were numb and I couldn't move them for a few minutes.

I believe lucid dreams are often classified as the ones you control. I voted no.

But I have had many dreams that I thought were real. Many of them had actual sound, touch, and emotional sensation (fear fear fear). Alot of those dreams are REALLY, REEEAAALLLY cool.

But I don't dream alot anyway, so eh.

I've had lucid dreams except that in the back of my mind (in the dream) I would always tell myself it was a dream.

It's odd. Sometimes I'll have dreams in the third person, and sometimes in the first person. Easy enough to believe, I can only control dreams in the first person. But sometimes I control it, and sometimes I don't. And also, oddly enough, sometimes I believe it is real, and other times, I'm sure it is a dream. I could go into detail about it, but I'm too lazy right now.

I've never really had a Lucid dream, but there have been a couple where I thought it was real.
It sucks, though, because for the past two weeks, I've been having nightmares every night, which is odd since before than, having just a dream was an uncommon accurence.

Actually, there was a study done my freshman year of high school (currently a junior) that people do have many many dreams during the night, but they don't last long enough to leave an impression on you. I don't know. I dream quite often. My dreams are recently being turned into things that aren't sooo 'dreamy', but it's odd at the stuff I do dream and how they become in some point in my life...reality. If that last one made any sense....

When one has a lucid dream, they have control over their actions.

FYI: Everyone dreams everynight. It is just a matter of whether or not your remember a dream. The only way for one to remember a dream is when someone wakes up directly from the dream.

I dont believe I have ever had a lucid dream, but I wont like to. I did have an interesting dream today though...it was a fairly long dream, but there is one line that really stood out: "I am laying on the basement floor. I can smell blood and vacuum cleaners."
