Thread: <----Noob

No worries. I talk about Lucids to my family and they look at me like I'm coo coo. I think it seems like a natural reaction. People just dismiss dreams as random firings from the brain.

Hey there, welcome to the forum.

Looks like you've had quite a few lucid dreams already, that's great. Be sure to read the main site and tutorials if you haven't already. Any questions you have feel free to ask and above all, make yourself at home. No need to feel strange talking about dreams here

Liek ZOMG I'm a complete newb at this DG thing

I am not really sure what a lucid dream is.

A lucid dream is a dream where you know that you are dreaming.

Ok read some stuff...LD is lucid dream which is controlling your actions in dreams. Well, If that is the case then pretty much every dream that i remember I am in control and do what i want. My personal favorite is when i can just sort of fly around. Not really fly but like jump rediculously far and always being able to get a foot on something to push off for the next jump.

LD is an acronym for lucid dream, yes. In a lucid dream you may (in msot cases) have control over your actions, but in order for it to qualify as one you must know that you're dreaming.

Welcome to the forum.

There is an acronym list in the Tutorials Section on this forum. It has many useful acronyms that you will see around here.

meh i cant remember the last dream where i didn't realize pretty much from the get go that i am actually in my bed sleeping right now making all of this up. One thing that kind of irritates me though....well not really irritate but bugs me...is that knowing that everything there is in my head...why can i not like make a tree grow out of a lake or something like that. Are there limits as to what a person can do or is simply a lack of experience.

thank you all for the respones btw....lawl this is the most i've talked about dreaming with anyone. Even my girlfried of 6 years.

You can do pretty much anything in a lucid dream, but unfortunately for some it takes a while to get more familiar with lucid dreams and gain the desired control, you will get there eventually, for some it just takes a bit of work.

Hey Sweepyhead, have you seen the movie waking life? Its about alot of lifes questions and much of the movie is about lucid dreaming, if you enjoy movies i highly recommend it!
