    #1 - Holding Down The Fort [DILD]

    I only really remember the part of this dream where I was lucid. I vaguely recall flying around mountain ranges at some park... or something.... And then, I was in a school with a bunch of people and we were doing some kind of intense LARP battle. I run to some small, sealed, closet-sized room but with window and lock myself inside. People would run up to the door trying to open it, then I was suddenly lash out phasing through the door, grab their arms or legs, and snap them with super strength.

    #2 - Aesthetic Lucid And Link Contact [DILD]

    I remember something about my dad intending to buy me a new home, and I was walking around some neighborhood with this guy S I knew in middle and high school, though didn't get to talk to all that much. I think he was here because O mentioned that he was going to see him for the first time in years the last time I hung out with him. We walked up to some gigantic building, and I wanted to see into it. It had kind of a cool stylistic architecture that's hard to describe, but we also saw a few other buildings being built that way, including a McDonald's. I became lucid and flew up to the top to look inside, and there's no ceiling - the top is huge and totally open. I went down and grabbed on to a ledge and just let my feet dangle inside the building while feeling the wind blow past me. I spend most of the time here just enjoying the scenery, there were massive open fields and mountain ranges all around me that I could see faaaar into the distance of due to the altitude I was at. It was really cool.

    False Awakening - I wrote down the dream, which almost totally screwed me over because when I woke up for real I remembered being lucid but not what happened, luckily it finally came back. I got up and went to play some Digimon game that I remember very little of now, but I do remember that it was long and intense. I finally beat it in the end and then got up and started browsing the internet on my computer. I was at a site that listed game data for all the different Pokémon. I was looking up Exeggutor's moves, and then suddenly the text on the screen scrolled to the right and new text was appearing in its place. It was some kind of chat log. The first few lines were this:

    Aly!
    Aly!
    This is Link!

    :O I think I saw the word "incredible" in there somewhere too, but I can't really remember the rest. After I started comprehending what it meant, I woke up. :T

      I've no idea what a LARP battle is, but battle is battle. And that means people get hurt - like snapped limbs with super strength. You're a very nice person. ;p

      LARP is live action role play, so people actually don't get hurt. Except when I play, I get a little too rough.

      You snap them with super strength. If dream sharing was real, the DCs would have hurt like hell in their own dreams. Not saying it's not possible.

      Well, even in shared dreams not all DCs are necessarily other people, but even still, it's just a dream, they can handle it.

      What the... ?!?! HAHAHA YAH! For no reason at all, just 'cause it's battle time.

      Excellent theory

      Awww this is awesome. You're lucid and just decide to sit and enjoy it. The view sounds wonderful... makes me want to go to bed and see it. I like high ledges, dangling feet, a nice breeze, and a gorgeous view.

      Wow very interesting dream! its amazing how something can so suddenly jolt lucidity in dreams. take for instance you noticing the architectural type of buildings, and then suddenly becoming lucid. do you have a variety of dream cues that involve buildings at times? if so thats a cool way of becoming lucid!

      Yep, it just felt like the right thing to do, I was really feeling the moment.

      Yeah, I end up just looking around a lot while lucid. I still find it fascinating to marvel at how amazing dreams are.

      @ Dreamprofessor

      Thanks! I don't really have any cues, honestly. Very random things tend to tip me off, or sometimes I just realize I'm dreaming spontaneously. It actually normally feels to me like I just kind of always know that I'm dreaming in the back of my mind but don't acknowledge until I decide that I want to do something that involves control.

      That's a very interesting concept. I wonder if that applies to waking like... ? Like maybe we all know we're 'dreaming' (in waking life) but just choose not to become lucid in it.... ? So what would happen if we became lucid in waking life, the same way we do in dreaming?

      What if waking life is just the 'hard' level of difficulty whereas the dreamstate is the 'easy' level?

      Sorry, sort of thinking out loud but interesting statement you wrote there.

      That's a neat thought. So what are you thinking would be the equivalent of dream control in waking life? Could this be likened to enlightenment? Understanding the truth behind waking life just as we come to understand the truth behind dreams....

      I've been meaning to bring this up because you seem like you'd have some thoughts on this... but what if waking life is just as flexible as dreaming? It's just a matter of using your intent to alter it the same way in dreaming? Also using the laws of attraction to our advantage... basically changing our frequency so that we pick up on the vibrations we want and use that to support our vision, whatever it may be. The deliberate act of becoming lucid in waking life and holding that awareness.

      What if waking life was as real as dreaming... or what if dreaming was as real as waking life.

      Well, it's an interesting thought.... It's all one subjective stream of consciousness to us, after all. Perhaps the only reason we believe dreams to be the less "real" one is because waking life is the one we were able to collectively understand first, and since we use things we know to understand things we don't we try to define the dream world by the rules of the waking world, and that just makes it look all chaotic. It's just like the early humans who judged everything to be human (like tree spirits and the sun and moon as gods) because that's all they knew. It could be that both worlds are just as real but the fact that we originally judged the dream world to be fake is actually a blessing because it gave us the idea to explore techniques to control it, and now we can use this experience to break out of our waking life non-lucidity and do the same.

      Though, I also wonder, where must we draw the line? Technically, to us, anything we experience is just as real as anything else when it's actually happening. How do you know when you've gone from picking up on the psychic subtleties of waking life to basically being schizophrenic? And furthermore, how do we even separate the two? And I don't mean to suggest that trying to pick on these energies makes you crazy, what I mean is... how do we know that schizophrenics aren't actually just picking up different frequencies of reality than we are? However, we only view and raise them by our most widely-accepted understanding of the waking world, and thus they're judged to be insane, just as the dream world is judged to be fake.

      Hmmm....

      I wonder the same. I actually do think schizophrenics are just picking up on additional frequencies.... and with all mental illnesses, it's classified as illnesses when we're no longer able to cope with them. So long as you're still able to function in every day life, hearing voices, seeings spirits, communicating with non-physical beings can make an individual psychic instead of mentally ill.

      It's interesting to consider that it's just in the ability to cope that classifies someone as having a mental illness. Well, obviously not the only factor but a very large one. I get that some of it is biological and it's not just 'coping'. But when people take medications to resolve the uneasiness, the act of taking the medication can be a type of coping mechanism (in addition to other things).

      Interesting idea.

      Yeah, it's too bad that we don't live in a world where people are more interested in getting down to the bottom of these things. At least, the majority of people. Telling enough people that you hear voices and see spirits is rarely going to lead to anything but being put on antipsychotics.

      That's something that I think about from time to time, too. Plenty of people believe that psychedelics are connecting us to other realities and frequencies just like natural OBEs and the like. Whatever they're doing, it certainly makes sense to me that there's some crossover, as psychedelics definitely do activate the dreaming mind, just in slightly different ways. But then there's the antipsychotic drugs, which work in the exact opposite way as psychedelics, all the way down to which brain receptors they work on. So really, from this point of view, can antipsychotics actually be seen as anything but anti-enlightening? :O

      I always knew they were evil drugs.

      I mean, it is nice that they help some people. If they can't cope and it's their only option, then by all means go for it. But it sucks that it is there only option, instead of being able to go somewhere to learn how to cope. :\

      ....

      One time, a friend of mine took some Seroquel trying to get high (which doesn't work), and he ended up passing out and having a lucid nightmare where his mom was strangling him to death with his own hands. Fuck antipsychotics!
