Thread: Crossing the border to lucid dreaming.

Yes Mocari...I am so in touch with myself that I am able to conciously think about matters in my awake world. Things such as having to get up in a while to go to work, did I put gas in the car, what am I doing for lunch. All the while I am in my LD doing whatever I wish.

Another practice that I use, is to periodically ask myself if I am dreaming. I do this while I am performing routine tasks such as driving, walking, eating, anything that is part of your normal everyday life can become a road sign that you are LD. I will also occasionally tell myself out loud that I am dreaming, with no one around of course.

One last tip, most of the time I realize that I am dreaming simply because I can remember that I am actually asleep!

Dream on!

I've only been into this stuff for almost two years, but I've had my fair share of LDs - it's an odd feeling, becoming lucid.. It's like, you have always been there happily enjoying yourself when suddenly your eyes are open to this strangely familiar world (yeah, becoming lucid is a sudden thing) it's almost like when you are stuck on a puzzle forever and you finally find the answer - right in front of your face!

I kinda have trouble keeping still to stabilise the dream - the techniques mentioned above are use to calm yourself down so you can see clearly... the only thing is when you know how much time you have left you begin to feel like you are being rushed (i still can't push that feeling aside right now, im still working on it ;D)

control is kinda hard to explain... i guess it goes away because an LD can become pretty real, to a point where it's almost like you're doing it in real life. you feel like there is a specific way to (for example) create a lightning bolt - but in dreams, there is no right answer, right?

reality checks are a good way to improve your chances of having an LD - it's in the forums somewhere, I just don't know how to link it using my ps3... (computer is broken D you do it while you are awake, I suck at reality checks

anyway, have an LD... you can see for yourself ;D
