I really want to know if lucid dreaming is real. Is there any scientific proof ? If so send me a link or tell me about your experiances.
In the early 1970s, Daniel Oldis of the University of South Dakota leveraged the scientific principle of external sensory incorporation in an attempt to influence dream content and evoke lucidity. Three psychological techniques were employed: subconscious suggestion using a tape played before and during sleep; associative signaling using a muffled bell alarm timed to go off during REM sleep; and classical conditioning using a REM detection circuit and a bright eye-light. The results indicated that lucid dreaming can be facilitated using external cues and psychological methods.Quote:

However, the realization that eye movements performed in dreams affected the dreamer's physical eyes provided a way to prove that actions agreed upon during waking life could be recalled and performed once lucid in a dream. The first evidence of this type was produced in the late 1970s by British parapsychologist Keith Hearne. A volunteer named Alan Worsley used eye movement to signal the onset of lucidity, which were recorded by a polysomnograph machine.
Hearne's results were not widely distributed. The first peer-reviewed article was published some years later by Stephen LaBerge at Stanford University, who had independently developed a similar technique as part of his doctoral dissertation. During the 1980s, further scientific evidence to confirm the existence of lucid dreaming was produced as lucid dreamers were able to demonstrate to researchers that they were consciously aware of being in a dream state (again, primarily using eye movement signals). Additionally, techniques were developed that have been experimentally proven to enhance the likelihood of achieving this state. Research on techniques and effects of lucid dreaming continues at a number of universities and other centers, including LaBerge's Lucidity Institute.
If you're truly interested if it's real...give it shot! Once you've been lucid yourself you won't need anyone else's studies or papers to prove it for you. :)
No, all the books writen about it, all my and others members posts are lies. Even the dream journals with lucid dreams are all lies. Don't belive it.
The LD count of people are lies too, the techniques and threads are lies, as do the cake.
It have been proven more than once.
If you are the kind of people who need to see/feel to belive, try harder with the techniques and give them more dedication.
Only one way to find out HOW REAL it is. Try it out and you will see that it feels 100% real. Good luck! :)
It has to be real, to know your dreaming happens to a lot of people.
this whole forum is a lie, the government made up lucid dreaming to find osama and spread the ebola virus
welcome to the conspiracy.
Yeah I can fairly sure it is real, yes.
Is it? :shock:
Yes. :P
What does that mean? Proof of things are always in front of people's faces--that does not mean they notice it or even can comprehend it.

A blind man asks someone to prove to him roses are red. Does that mean anything?
This thread is classic. :panic:
If lucid dreaming isn't real then...
I guess.......
WE'RE......
ALL......
FUCKING....
CRAZY!!!!
Clearview is not crazy and nor is Aquanina to my understanding ;)
so Not being Crazy = Lucid Dreaming Exists
If you really want to believe, then believe. Don't be a doubting Thomas about LD if you are serious about being here and learning this technique. Browse the internet; you will find so many articles that you won't have enough time in a month to read through everything. Believe and Do...
Heck yes, I've had a lot of them.

I come to DreamViews to... lie.
:shock:
Nah, it's real alright and flippin' sweet.
the new world order is in on it too........
lesson to be learned: you post stupid question, you get just as stupider response
Well that depends on how you understand lucid dreaming. Is lucid dreaming a dream where you realize you are dreaming? If so, which is a rhetoric question, then the answer is, yes it is definitely real. How do I know, because I have had dreams where I realized I am dreaming and thus became lucid in a dream. That is the meaning of lucid, an awakened state. So in other words, you are awake in a dream.
Yes it is true, give it a try.
Yep. Try it out! I had a lucid dream purely by accident not too long ago, and though I had heard of it, I had never experienced it. After experiencing it, I wanted to do it again. Since then I've became more dedicated to it, and the prospect seems to drift closer each morning as I wake. try it out! (or consider us all liars and part of a government conspiracy. Your call.) :)
HOW is this a stupid qestion to ask australian fire. Controlling everthing being able to fly, it just seems too good to be true
Actually, over the time I've been on DreamViews, I've come to be more surprised at people who haven't had a lucid dream, than those who have.
I mean, how many people can honestly say they've never had a nightmare and had that feeling of "I NEED TO WAKE UP!!"? I just hear it so often, it's almost a shock when people say they've never experienced it.
Most people just don't realize that that is, in fact, a lucid dream.
Spiritguide, are you interested in lucid dreaming, or are you writing a paper on it or something and need material?
I find it kind of funny that the response is "try it yourself!"
Because that's what I would tell people if I practiced magic.
You mean you've NEVER had a dream when you suddenly realized you were dreaming? It's really not that uncommon for people to have a dream like that at least one in a while...
"We must put an end to Lucid Dreaming. Lucid Dreaming is a detriment to society and should be stopped."
(Miss you MSG)
Yes its real, because I don't think we all are making that .
It's like asking is consciousness real? Consciousness is an experience and cannot be measured...it's in non lucid dreams as well just that it's consciousness without a reference to waking memory. I can recognize what I see and who I see in the dream but cannot remember any or very little waking memory about it. In a lucid dream, the only thing that makes it a lucid dream is the presence of waking memory because I become lucid because of something I saw or experience in the dream that did not match that waking memory of it and therefore I can conclude it's a dream. Another occasion is a light cue I see in the dream...I know what light it is and that it's the light I fixed but I just wait for the light to go off and I continue with the dream, there was no waking memory to link the light with waking life which is to do an RC or whatever I planned and it has happened few times when I use light cues. And other times when the light comes on and enters the dream I'd see images from waking life linking to it but it's random and not planned and fragmented. So the question you asked 'Is Lucid Dreaming Real'....I'd say it is because it's the same consciousness and with waking memory unless you dismiss consciousness itself not being real.

Have you really never had a lucid dream? o_o Perhaps you are mixing up dream control with lucidity. :/ Dream control involves controlling elements of your dream, while being lucid in a dream just means that you are aware that you are dreaming while in the dream.
Of course it isn't real. It is all just a dream.
lmao, best answer so farQuote:

Normally my post would stop there, :roll:but since we are in the Newbie section:
Is lucid dreaming real?
Try it. Try to lucid dream - follow the tutorials here.
With a little self discipline and luck you find your way to it.
The length of time to lucid dreaming varies from person to person.
The pointers are all here for anyone to try and to "experience" it for themselves, to become aware in a dream so you are consciously dreaming.
