Lucid Dreaming

[Corey]

Try as I might, I can't seem to pull it off. xD I'm always somewhat conscious in my dreams, to the point where I recognize what's going on and remember it all after I wake up, but I can never control it.

I've only lucid dreamed a few times, although by that I mean I've been consciously aware of myself and able to control things. Sometimes I can be consciously aware of myself in a dream but not be able to control anything, which is annoying. But yeah, often I'll be like "I'm dreaming" but I can't do anything about it. xD

I am sometimes able to control what I do in my dreams, but that's only if I'm myself in those dreams; sometimes I dream that I'm something/someone else and when that happens I have no control over any of my actions in the dream. It's pretty weird.

The first time I lucid dreamed, I didn't even know what lucid dreaming meant. That was how young I was and when I woke up, I literally thought that whatever happened in my dream was real (Of course I realized it wasn't a dream when my house didn't appear to be destroyed and raided by pirates and I was never captured.) I don't lucid dream very often though. In fact, while I love to have more nights filled with dreams (that I remember, since we technically dream every night, we just don't remember them when we wake up.), whenever I dream, something'll happen the next day which triggers deja vu. Which is creepy, because I've had dreams of future events like dreaming of the exact score I received on a major exam, or dreaming of hurricanes. :< (Thankfully it doesn't happen a lot of times to make me think I'm some oracle, but it's still creepy yet rad.)

Also, has anyone dream-walked before? That is, walk into someone else's dream? Because I think I have on a few occasions. The most memorable and recent one was when I recalled being in the living room of a house foreign to me, and I vaguely recall a woman screaming "What are you doing here?" at me before I woke up suddenly. It's like they kicked me out of their dream, if that was logically possible (It would if they were lucid dreaming).

Dreams are so interesting! I have had lucid dreams a couple of times. Though they start off like regular dreams and then something will make me realise I'm dreaming. I don't have a great level of control over them though. Usually when I actually try and do specific things, a whole bunch of obstacles pop up and stop me anyway. xD This happens in my daydreams too haha. I often realise I'm dreaming when I have nightmares and I am pretty good at forcing myself awake in those instances. I usually always remember my dreams when I wake up, too.

It wold be really cool to be able to fully control a dream, but I haven't really tried specifically. The brain is pretty amazing.

I haven't, but I may have experienced astral projection (or something like that, I'm not sure if it really was that or something else): once, when I was asleep I floated upwards and when I looked down I saw my own body. I thought I was dead. Then I flew over several places, including a city and a desert. Then I woke up. Can anyone explain what this was? Because I read that in order to actually do astral projection you need training, yet I did this apparently by complete accident.

Ugh. Everything I want from dreams, the opposite happens. I rarely have lucid dreams, in fact, I hardly remember dreams in the first place. For me, dreams are kind of just nonsense that's entertaining, but I don't really put any value or meaning behind them. I've noticed that if I fall asleep and wake up a whole bunch of times in succession, especially if it's on a rather bad place to fall asleep like a bus, I tend to have the logical opposite of a lucid dream; I know that I'm awake, but my body can't seem to figure that one out, so I just kind of sit there without being able to move any more than my fingertips ever so slightly. It's harmless, but considering the state I'm in half of the time when I wake up, it can be a bit on the terrifying side.

I think it's astral projection. And actually, it's possible to execute it unintentionally. I think it's something to do with your supernatural affinity, which probably affects whether or not you tend to believe in the supernatural, or even experience such.

Huh, that's strange. I'm actually a rather skeptical person... then again, I do have an interest in the supernatural (if that makes sense... I'm a person who doesn't readily believe in that kind of stuff but still gives it the benefit of doubt and likes to learn about it XD), so maybe my subconscious is aware of things that I'm not? XD

I've had some major deja-vu dreams/daydreams at times, and I think they're outright psychic (and by extension, I'm psychic in a limited sense).However, I've had nothing truly resembling Astral Projection that I can really remember. Assuming that wasn't a dream resembling the effects, I think that if you can somehow train yourself, you'd probably be able to do it consistently. But in any case, that's really awesome. If nothing else, it's Achievements in Ignorance at its finest, and that is a good thing.
