Alright... Lucidity sound pretty cool, but...

Is it as vivid as you guys say it is? Are you practically God in your dreams? How does this work? Does it have limitations? Can you see/feel stuff that you've never experienced before?

[Lord Toaster]

Pretty much as cool as you think it can be. It gets better as you get better at it. My first ones were pretty bad control, but my latest ones are awesome.

You can practically do anything. Most lucid-dreams are just as vivid as real life, and you can feel everything. I've even tried tasting stuff I've never tasted before, and through that experienced new taste and new smells aswell. You can also try new vision, and everything. The better you get, the more power you can obtain. Some people even say they've tried to liquify them selfs.

While lucid dreams have a spectrum of levels of vividness, control and awareness, the short answer is "Yes, it really is that wonderful". Even when you have a very low level of control, the very fact that you are able to recognize - during the dream - that you are dreaming can be an exhilarating experience. When your level of lucidity is past minimal level, you can sit there and actually observe and/or direct your dream, rather than being a mere stander-by. That may not sound like much but, believe me, there's some pretty profound implications that come with the awareness. When you have control in an LD (especially when it's above minimal level), you have the makings for one of the most special and amazing states a Human can experience. And, given my personal experience, I must say that that's no overstatement.

They also are awesome because emotion is multiplied by like 10 in dreams. Plus just stopping and looking at the incredible creation of your mind is cool.

Reread what Oneironaught said up there - then go read his dream journal. That should pretty much put answer your questions! **edit** His journal is here. **re-edit* Then go read THIS Oneironaut's journal!

Wow... I've been trying to become lucid in my dreams, but lately, I can hardly remember my dreams at all. The most I could remember from last night's dream was that I achieved everything that I wanted. Getting a girlfriend, A+ report card, etc. But, I could only remember little snippets. Like, seeing my report card number (98). Even that, though was blurry as if I was looking at a 12 year old computer screen. I've started to keep a dream journal and will see tonight if I can remember my dream, let alone control them. EDIT: So where do I start? Any advice at all would be appreciated.

[Oneironaught]

His journal is here. :p That's Oneironut's journal, not mine But it's fun reading so, what are you waiting for?

When I'm in lucid dreams I can't even tell the difference between the dream and real life. I do RCs like every 2 minutes cause I think, there no way I'm dreaming right now. As for control, your imagination is the limit. It's like the matrix you just have to really beleive that you can do it and you will. Just think in your head, there is no spoon.
