Thread for questions, tips, and advice on Lucid Dreaming
Life getting you down and need and escape? this is it.
A lucid dream is when you're conscious that you're dreaming and have the ability to control the physics, environment, people, and basically everything in the dream world.
>having a tough time with remembering dreams? this is step one if you have trouble with this one if not it's still recommended to do anyways because of the benefits
WRITING DOWN DREAMS HELPS WITH DREAM RECALL, WHY NOT POST YOURS!!!
writing down dreams also helps with increasing quantity and quality of dreams.
More dreams = More likely to lucid dream
----------------------------SO STOP ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT NOT HAVING DREAMS----------------------------
>Reality checks just note that reality checks are extremely unreliable and 100% not a permanent thing for Lucid Dreaming although reality checks are best done right in the morning when you wake (cuz false awakening dreams happen all the time for everyone) and right before bed
>Meditations relation to lucid dreams???? VERY IMPORTANT
meditation makes you mindful of your dream allowing for becoming lucid without reality checks
>want to lucid dream without constant reality checks or any other techniques?
used for essentially instant results but only use this technique if you have the time to because it MAY (probs wont) take up to an hour if you decide to.
I WANT TO LUCID DREAM BUT I FUCKING CANT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST I WANT TO FUCK MY BRAPLORD SO HARD BUT I CANT REEEE help me robots, how do i lucid dream AND remember the dream? 99% of times i dont remember anything please, i beg of you also im scared of sleep paralysis, will lucid dreaming increase the chances of that happening
>cant dream >literally the most emphasized part of the OP is dream recall dude i want to help you bad but you can't be this retarded READ THE OP

Anyone here know how to astral project? I think I almost rolled out of my body last night but I was too scared to commit because I didn't want to see if any entities are staying in my house
OP here heard some dude do this mantra and said " pha - ra - ma " and so i did it and my body vibrated a ton which freaked me out but i couldn't complete it because GF texted me and i heard once you get the vibrating feeling you can basically attempt to get out of your body and project but i wouldn't know im an extreme amateur at this
Logan Wright
the closest i ever got to a lucid dream, was when i did a reality check, and it worked but at the same time i didn't take control of the dream, but i knew it was a dream. shit is wack.
i also remember doing FILD, and it worked, but when i got out of bed my limbs felt like pastic and i kept falling over and then i woke up.
fuck lucid dreaming
Jeremiah Hernandez
man dude i know how you feel with fake lucid dreams you just need to increase awareness by either meditating or some other technique im sure you can find one there's a link in OP with some basic tips
Luke Turner
I DID EVERYTHING IT DOESNT WORK I CANT REMEMBER DREAMS FUCK HELP ME PLEASE
how long have you been writing down your dreams for how long do you write for do you actually think about it or just speed write to get it over with dream journaling takes investment and should work if done right tell me how you do your dream journaling
Alexander Rogers
a month now i think about them hard cuz i forget them farst so an hour i think about the dreams
Chase Flores
you seem to being doing good maybe try adding how you felt (emotions) during it or maybe try to interpret the dream yourself this will make you delve deeper into it further entrenching dream recall some times i can remember my dreams about mid day maybe instead of including all dreams try to go deep into maybe one or 2 dreams and just summarize the rest and NEVER write down nothing If you dont remember dreaming write down "I dont remember dreaming last night" but sit there and try to remember (tells your brain remembering dreams is import)
James Nelson
Last night was lucid dreaming for a bit and I was taunting demons that I was fearless, so they tricked me into a false awakening and tried to see if I get scared if I thought I was awake, they lost
Jayden Peterson
man you sound exactly like me when im in a nightmare absolute complete control nothing scares me keep at it man and always remember you guide your entire dream whether on purpose or not
Kayden Edwards
I like meditating before I go to sleep but I very often go so far that my body feels like static noise and I can feel warm pulsating forces being applied onto my body. Sometimes I open my eyes and see weird patterns and strange apparitions of opaque lobster-like creatures crawling on the walls and on me, and sometimes I feel them too. It is very difficult to describe for those who haven't experienced it, but this only happens when I meditate "too far."
I want to learn how to lucid dream so I can fuck girls (female) but without the weird side effects I have described above. Wat do?
Tyler Jackson
>static noise ok i stopped reading there because this is the part where you are falling asleep or for astral projection tryiong to get out of your body check out this /x/ thread talking about the vibrations >open eyes seeing things maybe it's some weird mix of dreaming and sleep paralysis
>want's to lucid dream listen man if you can do that shit this is easy just get good dream recall (READ OP) and check out some different techniques using the links in OP also check out the "Today's message" in OP it talks about the vibrating feeling you mentioned
Gavin Flores
wait never mind today's message doesn't have it but essentially last night i tried saying a mantra (Pha - ra - ma) and i got that static vibrating feeling you mentioned
Austin Watson
Most of my my dreams involve me getting raped by a mini giantess/Amazon I want the dreams if not stop at least let me have some stand
Owen Myers
Fucking answer me how long does the lucid dream last. From the moment you become lucid in the dream to the moment you awake. Don't pussy out and give me "it depends". I really don't want to start dream journal and reality checks if this shit is happening only once every month for like 3 minutes and whenever you try to visualise too much you get kicked out from the dream. And that was coming from lucid dreamers being honest
The other night I had my best experience yet. I was flying at fucking literally thousands of miles an hour and zoomed out of the earth
A few minutes most often. They can last "up to" an hour though. I've seen one or two report that one of theirs lasted for weeks or even years.
Bentley Ward
do you think there might be any outside influence on your dreams? to understand how long a lucid dream will last needs to take into account which REM phase you're in lets say you're in the last one which will be Very close to One hour and lets say you're lucid right from the start and it begins to get foggy and unstable so you wake up but lets say you use stabillity techniques and you stabalize your dreams which is pretty easy so you can likley stay in your lucid dream for the full hour but the first REM phase is about 5-10 minutes (don't use this as fact but) each REM phase is about 1.5 hours apart i believe meaning the fiorst REM phase is 1.5 hours into sleep with each phase getting longer and longer until the 6th one being one hour so to answer your question of "will i get shitty 3 minute lucid dreams" if you have good dream recall stabaility at the start will not be a problem but many lucid dreamer become lucid and wake up on their very first lucid dream so never fret if it happens to you besides im always here if you need to talk or need advice on Lucid dreaming
Ryder Garcia
and not to mention time perspective in dreams if you are stable enough id imagine you could forcefully extend your REM phase but i wouldn't know but it would be a cool thing to test

From the forum link: >1. Tell yourself before falling asleep mantra "I'il wake up in 5/6 hours" >2. Fall Asleep while repeating mantra >3. You wake up after 5 - 6 hours thanks to mantra >4. Do 5 - 15 minute WBTB (So you don't fall asleep instantly during below steps)
How the fuck am I supposed to know what WBTB is?? Also "tell yourself before falling asleep "I'll wake up in 5/6 hours"? Really?
Oliver Harris
my mistake i probably should've stated wake back to bed in parentheses in the OP thanks for catching that and the telling yourself thing is not necessary just an optional thing that has helped others on some other forums ive seen
also i should probably remove the directions in the paste bin and leave it up to the links because they go deeper into it than i do
if you ever catch retarded stuff like that in my OP pls let me know so i can change it
Blake Morales
Thanks for the reply I suppose, OP. Didn't think you'd answer. Since you're here, a question: Is it possible to have a lucid dream where you can't control a dream? I remember back when I was a pre-teen I had a lucid dream, and basically I immediately started having sex despite not wanting to (because I didnt want to wake up to a wet bed). Has this ever happened to you?
Caleb Parker
I have managed to lucid dream throughout the entire night. Truthfully though, the lucidity is more like a spectrum and carefully balance it to retain complete control and not wake up
had this experience many times and i think they call it zombie mode fucking hated when i used to get this and i always felt so stupid but actually the fact you cna become lucid and stay in your dream is major progress maybe when doing a reality check try doing stability techniques or increasing lucidity even if you aren't dreaming this will help you become more lucid and get out of zombie mode
yes balance is key and if things get really fucked what i do it kill myself and i have a false awakening where i can still dream but "wake up" in my bed and everything is reset also did you use any techniques to stay lucid like that? was it all in one dream?
Sebastian Sanchez
Is there an app for Android that tracks my sleep and wakes me up at REM? I already use an app called Sleep Cycle and it can track my cycles and I can clearly see when REMs happen, but I need a similar app that wakes me up. I'm not sure if the traditional "set alarm to 5-6 hours" method will work for me. It can take an hour or more for me to go to sleep, and the time it takes is very inconsistent, so I don't think I'd be able to hit the 5-6 hours mark very well. Also, I'm afraid that 5-6 hours may be too much sleep for me, and that I may not be able to go to sleep after waking up.
So anyway. Any apps?
Caleb Cruz
Sometimes I managed to just will a reset into being, blank slate. False awakenings often help, you can semi lucid dream for a very long time and just keep having false awakenings. I have noticed many phases of sleep, some are completely dark, some are trippy, most are inbetween, and the beginning part has its own peculiarity like a more passive dream like watching a movie. You're guaranteed to lose lucidity throughout. I just kept getting lucid all over again. Often I'd change something up, let my lucidity drift back to subconscious and since I make all these wild changes like flying and superpowers and what not it's easy to remember again
Robert Wilson
Maybe from my insecurities?
Jayden Miller
short answer i highly doubt it that sounds anmazing if you can tell us how you do it i think both me and everyone here want to experience this maybe it's a fetish but for now if it is insecurities than act all tough in thew mirror or some shit IDK im a lucid dreamer not a dream interpreter
Aaron Davis
longer answer ah an insomniac i see i know that feel try the insomniac link in OP also try using mantras which are repeating words phrases or just sounds which help you fall asleep much faster i know the mantras work from experience so if that helps try the traditional set alarm method
Brayden Robinson
How do I repeat these mantras? Whispers without voice? Or should I use my voice? Like mumbling. Also what should I repeat? What words or phrases?
Elijah Perry
when i do mantras i do it all in my head and i say pha - ra - ma but others might say pha - ra - on you can look up mantras but just do em in your head
Gabriel Morales
How do I manipulate my environment once I'm lucid in my dream?
The first thing I try is creating objects out of thin air, but when I try that, it seems more like I'm just imagining the objects are there in the dream. The objects I create don't seem as real as the ones that are there naturally. How do I master my powers?
Zachary Walker
Why would you want to lucid dream? I used to but stopped because having no control in a dream is more entertaining.
Brody King
You can try creating an item that lets you spawn stuff. >first create a magic wand >think of an object you want to spawn >cast a spell with your wand that materializes the object you're thinking of in front of you Using that technique might make it seem more real
Nathaniel Jenkins
It's my only chance at having sex
James Baker
ahah imagine actually doing this stuff how desperate do you have to be plus LDs are so lame anyway
I JUST WANT ONE GODDAMN LD WHY CAN'T I HAVE ONE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Does weed influence it at all? Cuz this sounds seriously interesting, but I'm a heavy weed smoker.
Connor Roberts
not that user, but I'm not too confident mantras would work for me. I wish they would, but I'm just too much of a fucking cynic.
Robert Gonzalez
bumps for more tips pls
Angel Parker
well your very unimaginative then if its a person you can act like they came up behind you and greet them before turning around other wise explains it perfect WBTB for you my dude wake back to bed works for most people its in the OP drugs can make your dreams really fucked sometimes so beware but other wise i have no clue dude you gotta try new things if you really want to lucid dream lucid dreaming is a huge learning curve but once learned it can be amazing
Kayden Reyes
we need more of these, i started a lucid dreaming thing but i gave up on it because of a bunch of things interrupting my sleep + nothing to support me with it
John Moore
Heard weed can fuck up your ability to recall dreams I've found that GHB can give me pretty vivid dreams, do you know anything about it helping lucid dreams?
Austin James
anything for the robots if you ever think i should change add or modify my OP EVER really let me know i need the OP to answer as many questions as possible and lead robots in the right direction
Charles Reyes
i don't touch drugs but im 100%sure there are drugs for lucid dreaming out there
Nicholas Powell
bump pls i need more (you's)
Jackson Green
here you go brother HH
Nathaniel Brooks
i feel you, brobot i've been trying for 4 years and i've found a fullproof way that you can do tonight but it can be super hard.
all you gotta do is meditate until you reach an altered state of consciousness just before you go to bed and it makes wild super easy.
Caleb Cruz
MORE TECHNIQUES GOOD can you tell us specifically what will happen when we reach this altered state and can you lay out specific instructions for this?
Levi Jenkins
you will know you are there when you get to that altered state, you won't be asking yourself if you are there you will just know because thats how it works, it does not care about logic.
use whatever meditation suits you, Personally i just sit with my back straight and i'm already off that is if i'm in the mood to meditate, otherwise i just give up shortly after like i've been doing.
after you reach that altered state of consciousness it lasts pretty long so just walk to your bed and lay down to do the W.I.L.D induction.
here is where the meditating pays off you have NO itches, urges to roll over, sense of time, swallowing reflex and none of that even crosses your mind. there is another hurdle which is sleep paralysis and if you are easily freaked out you will stop the induction entirely.
i never got passed that so thats all i know hell i only got there once this is hard as a bitch to do.
Eli Baker
good to know maybe ill edit the meditation paste more
