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.

Joe Rogan pimps this stuff I think

Yep.  He owns Onnit, iirc.

Is "causes lucid dreams" the clinical term for hallucinogenic?

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.

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 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.

Same.

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 got a guy on the other line about some white walls

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?

Astral Projection.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

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.
