I once heard an interview with a guy who said that occasionally while dreaming he becomes aware he's doing so and then he automatically Flys (like superman) to a beautiful woman and rips her clothes off and rapes her

If he were better at lucid dreaming, he could imagine the beautiful lady actually wants to do him instead.

Well in his lucid state he could have gone with consensual banging but chose rape instead.

Pretty sure I've done it before without really trying. I rarely remember my dreams though (like, ever).

I always dream that I am looking for and cannot find a restroom so the next time that I cannot find a restroom, I am going to try to fly to see if it is a dream.

I think I've posted about this before, but in every dream I can remember I know I'm dreaming.  I can kinda/sorta control them.  Sometimes I can't, but I'll do stuff in them knowing there are no consequences.  If I'm in a nightmare I can't control, I'll wake myself up.  I also used to do that thing where you open you eyes when you're dreaming and half wake up paralyzed but still in the dream.  After watching Signs one night I opened my eyes mid-dream to the aliens in my room, but knew it wasn't real.

How do you check to see if you are dreaming if you aren't aware you're dreaming. It seems if you do the check then the result of the check doesn't matter because you already controlled the dream

Do you always think you are dreaming? Do you think you might be dreaming right now?

I've had a couple in my life. I usually realize something is wrong and that it can't be real and come to the realization it's not and I'm dreaming. It pretty much turns to porn at that point, but doesn't last too long before I wake up.

I may try those methods in the link above. Lucid dreaming is pretty awesome.

That's a pretty good hobby Rick and this thread is already way better than the previous one.

One time I had a lucid dream where I was doing a crossword puzzle and the letters and spaces would change to fit no matter what I wrote in.  In other words, I need to practice so I can change the dream to something more awesome than doing crossword puzzles.

Rick, several podcasts I have heard in the last month or so say that if you take a certain supplement by Onnit called Alphabrain, it causes lucid dreams.  That isn't the primary thing it's sold for, it is a side effect, supposedly.  I have not used it and don't plan to, but hey, take one before bed and try it out.
Title: Re: lucid dreaming
Post by: _33 on May 19, 2016, 02:38:56 PM
I never even consider the possibility that I'm dreaming during a dream.  I'm just like this is definitely real life and all this super weird stuff is totally normal and then I wake up and I'm like, oh duh.

Joe Rogan pimps this stuff I think

Yep.  He owns Onnit, iirc.

Is "causes lucid dreams" the clinical term for hallucinogenic?
Title: Re: lucid dreaming
Post by: CNS on May 19, 2016, 02:47:56 PM
Not supposedly.  It is something that is supposed to make you more alert and focused, I think.  I really don't know, though.  Just some sponsorship bullshit from a few podcasts that I have listened to.  Supposedly, the ppl that take it before bed commonly report lucid dreams.

When I take Melatonin it usually gives me some very WTF'y type dreams.

My dreams always seem extremely real, but never make any sense. They are also very vivid and I can almost recall them the next morning if it's right before I wake up.

I was once stuck on an algorithm for Industrial Simulation for 2 days.  I came up with a solution during a dream and it worked.

I once had an awesome idea in a dream, like had I been a rich and ambitious man I would have started patenting it right away.  I have now forgotten what it was, though.  Damn.

It worked! (Sort of, maybe)

In my dream, I was laying in bed with Bill Maher and then I had to pee so I got up to go the bathroom, but the bathroom only had a sink, no toilet.....so now I am searching for a bathroom...hmm, this seems familiar. So I think to myself, "Is this a dream? Should I slap myself to see if it is a dream?" Then I think, "I am staying the night with Bill Maher, of course it is a dream."

So I decide to try to fly. I jump up and kind of flutter to the ground. Then I flutter up a little bit. I was flying! But then I remember that I  still need to pee, and then I think well this is a dream so I can just pee my pants. But then that distracts me into thinking that I might actually pee IRL if I do that and I wake up laying on a couch. So I lay there for a couple of minutes and then I hear snoring and I wake up for real in bed next to Gooch.

So was I lucid dreaming or was I just dreaming that I was lucid dreaming?

whenever i have lucid flying dreams it takes me a while to actually fly.  like i know i am dreaming and i want to fly.  so i start jumping to try and take off, but its normal gravity.  usually as i continue to jump i get gradually higher and higher off the ground.  then all of a sudden i am airborne and good to go.  kind of strange.

My flying dreams are the absolute best. Next time I have one I will report back with the amazing things I do.
