      IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173    | So, I'm just pretty amazed right know. I've had my first Lucid dream. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream What I'm amazed at is not only that I managed to have one (I've been trying for a while), but the method in which I induced it. If anyone's seen the film Inception, it'll help you to understand the concepts of what I'm talking about here. Reality First off, I fell asleep at around 12:45 AM. My sleeping pattern was nocturnal, as I had been asleep all day, but was semi-fatigued. I had no intention of inducing a lucid dream tonight, and simply started dreaming as normal. First level The dream was normal for a while and I was still unconscious. However, at some point in that dream I apparently fell asleep. I don't recall what happened, but at the time when I awoke, I knew it was still nighttime, and was unaware I was dreaming. I remembered my techniques of trying to induce lucid dreaming, and realised I was still in a waking state, so decided to attempt it. I closed my eyes, but I had turned over from my front onto my side, and I could feel the effects of sleep paralysis wearing off. I turned over onto my back and opened my eyes - but I could see nothing except pitch blackness. Second level I awoke in my bedroom, no one was around. I got up, and realised that I had just fallen asleep seconds ago. At this point I realised that I was in a dream, but did not realise I was dreaming INSIDE a dream while still asleep. This I'll explain later. For now, I had successfully induced lucid dreaming. The first thing to attempt was, of course, flying. I had no prior experience with it, so my attempt resulted in levitating the entire house (flat) off the ground. I created two glass screens wall-size in the corner, to see where I was going, and then attempted movement. The house began to glide down the street at ease. The terrain became unfamiliar - a mix of my present location and memories of past towns in which I lived, but I didn't focus on that. All the while, I was constantly checking the physics of the dream. I could feel the wind on my face and my hair blowing as I moved (Obviously the glass for the screens was not realistic). Being conscious, I remember this part the best, and how realistic it was - the physics of it all were near perfect. I had taken steps into creating an entirely new world. After ten minutes or so, I began to lose control of the physics, and started to forget I was in a dream. I think I lost consciousness at this point, as the details became very hazy. I remember bits and pieces, and the dream continued for another several minutes. First level When I awoke from the induced lucid dream, I was back in my room as I was originally. At the time, my thoughts were that I had successfully had a lucid dream, though I was unaware I was still asleep. This became a normal dream, as I was unconscious. Typical elements which I can remember are accidentally blowing up the light in the bathroom, inventing a method of which a lit flame could be contained inside a glass ball filled with some unknown liquid which allowed it to burn without oxygen, and then shaking the ball to become a "fireball" - a weapon which could be thrown and it would shatter and burst into flame on impact. The list goes on, and I could go into detail about what happened in the dream, but am uninterested. Reality I woke up at around 5:30 AM. I remembered almost everything, and realised what had happened. ~~~~~ The wiki page says there are only two methods of inducing lucid dreaming. I have just discovered a third - to dream that I successfully induce lucid dreaming while asleep, and enter a second level of dreaming. I am 100% sure that I was conscious during the second stage, and that feeling relayed back to me when I awoke, confirming what I had done. The first stage had an isolated and distorted feeling to it, as do most dreams. The second stage was completley clear and realistic. I had the full use of all my senses and tested them all. I was aware I was dreaming, and made sure of it. Looking back from reality, when I lost consciousness in the second level and returned to the first level, I lost this realistic feeling. The experiences in the second level were relayed directly back to my conscious in reality, and I can remember the feelings during the lucid dream more clearly than the first level of dreaming - which proves that I was not simply having a rather unusual dream all on one level. Not only did I successfully have a lucid dream, as I have been attempting to in recent times, but I managed to have a dream inside a dream. It's completley different from false awakenings - which I have experienced many of, sometimes several at a time. This time it was different, and I know it - falling asleep, dreaming, falling asleep inside the dream, waking up in a lucid dream, losing consciousness, waking up inside the dream, dreaming, and then waking up in reality. Sorry if you read this and don't understand it at all, but it was just such an amazing experience for me. In fact, now that I've experienced that, I'm not sure if I'm really awake at all. God damn me for watching that movie. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||

When you dream, and wake up, write down everything you remember. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Also, wear a watch at all times, look at the numbers when you wake up. Get used to checking your watch. Double check. If you are dreaming, the second time you look at the watch the face will be wrong, numbers "broken" and it won't make sense. -------------------- We will be alive and we will walk and talk and eat and sing and laugh and feel and love.

I think most of us has tried dreaming about Runescape. Sometimes I do.. And sometimes I dream that something very fortunate happens to me.. Like getting a Phat and such.. Well.. I dreamed that I was to receive alot of free bones from a guy who was quitting Runescape. So he gave me a stack of Dragon bones and a another stack of bones I have never seen before. They were also called something totally lame. I concluded in the dream that this could not be true.. It must've been a dream. So it was.. Lame but true. --------------------  Click me if you need cheering up - I guarantee happiness will blossom | ||||
