I have been an attempter of lucid dreaming for 6 years, I have yet been able to successfully control dreams, though sometimes I may go lucid.

I have tried dream journals, reality checks, and monophasic sleep cycles, no comsistency has arose so far.

I know my girlfriend naturally goes lucid and periodically WILDs.

The only reason I won't try Lucid dreaming is because of sleep paralysis, fuck that.

 

[SoVastEndNow]

So people wait out each day to finally go to bed to try this technique wich has a 50% chance of failing.
If they fail they'll wait for next time they go to bed.

How much time do you have on your hands, Jesus Christ...

Pure Lucid Dreaming



What is lucid dreaming?

Lucid dreaming is when you are aware of dreaming.
If you are aware of dreaming, it is possible for you to actually control your dreams!
You can do whatever you want. You can create buildings, you can create your own adventure, you can create your own powers, etc.
The best part about this is that it actually feels pretty real!

How to

It is not easy to explain, so I recommend some videos and sites to look at:



Youtube playlist for tips and tricks.

reddit on lucid dreaming, got everything!

TIPS: 1. Wake up a few hours early/4 hours after you go to sleep and stay awake for about 5 minutes. I have the greatest success rate with this method. I usually wake up, go to the washroom, then go back to sleep.
2. If you feel as though you are about to wake up, spin in circles. 98% of the time this keeps your lucid dream going.
3. Keep a sleep journal. Record your dreams every morning as soon as you wake up. I know this seems kinda stupid (especially to the guys), but it works. Eventually you will start to remember your dream automatically.
4. When you are going to sleep, say to yourself "I will have a lucid dream". I did not have much success with this method, but you might.




What to do in your dream
Here are some ideas you can try in your lucid dream:

- Create a big city and fly over it.
- Create surreal buildings and structures.
- Jump into the universe.
- Summon your most hated person and kamehameha him the fuck out of this world.
- Create your own adventure.
- I know you want to do dirty stuff, you perv. But you will probably wake up, when you are going to try it #ScumbagBrain
- Be god of your own universe.
- Be a shinigami and go through your city hunting hollows and shit!
- Sit on a pc and play TF2, yolo! (actually don't do that...)
- Imagine friends

Sleep Paralysis Section

Sleep Paralysis is mostly used to cause a WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dream) and this is one of the more.. Difficult ways, but is the most sensational. You feel many insane things by doing it this way and it's hard to explain what you see and feel.. Just gotta try it

How do you guys feel about sleep paralysis?

Have you ever gone through it?

Do you enjoy it or can you not handle it?

This is the type of stuff you'd see during sleep paralysis, but in real time when you were going through it

I personally put myself through sleep paralysis on purpose because it's extremely exciting, but sometimes I have trouble falling asleep for a night or two and it gives me a restless look all day, but I always have a ton of fun when I do it



Spoiler: How to do it
Make sure the only lighting you have in your room is soft lighting, no bright lighting and keep your eyes closed

• Lie down on your back with your hands to your sides, do NOT move
• You will feel sensations such as having to scratch something, needing to cough, needing to blink, needing to move at all, you MUST ignore it, literally do nothing
• Make sure your breathing is steady, don't speed up unless you need to stop
• You'll have to do this for about 20 minutes and after sometimes is where things get difficult
• You'll start to have troubles breathing normally, or so you think. You will have a feeling that someone is putting a super super heavy blanket on top of you and it will start at the lower part of your body and go to your head over and over again, don't worry or flip out. Your breathing is normal, your body is just falling asleep while your brain is awake
• After you feel like you cannot breath, you'll start to hallucinate and the more you do this the more hallucinating you'll do

i-Dosers

So I've only recently heard about these types of things, but apparently it's the best of both worlds when it comes to sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. What it does is it will play a set of sound waves to alter how your brain is functioning. There's i-Dosers that will make you feel high, hungry.. Horny (Yeah, it's real) and sometimes even horrified.

They don't actually damage your brain in any way, it's a phenomenon that I'm still learning better myself. These are the steps you need to follow when using an i-Doser

• Lay down in your most comfortable place, make sure that the place you're in isn't too cold
• Place a pair of headphones/earbuds on and turn the volume up all the way or at least 75% full volume
• Place a towel or blanket over your face, this is kinda an important part for some reason
• Play the i-Doser and let your brain do it's thing

Here's a few i-Dosers I found for you guys to try and maybe take a quick listen to without actually doing it until you're ready. Remember, if you're distracted these really won't work. Also, don't ever try the i-Doser called "Gates of Hades" :(:(

Spoiler: Gates of Hades, warning, this can make you feel really uneasy.

Please leave any feedback or criticism below, also @goobypls wished for me to post this ASAP :p

F&Q:

Q: What if I keep on trying and it doesn't work? I've done all the steps and it's still not working
A: It's never guaranteed to work, everyone is different and you'll achieve what you want at different paces

Q: How long have you been trying this type of stuff?
A: Since about 2011, when someone from a different place on the internet introduced me to Sleep Paralysis

Q: This is some edgy and gay shit, faggot
A: lol

Share your experience with me, I'm curious as to what you felt.

It actually was pretty calming and okay until 22mins, but then I started getting uncomfortable and kinda anxious, kinda reminded me of a plane start. It pretty much scared the shit out of me
I also did the Opium thing, that was really enjoyable by comparison except I had a really wierd sound in my ear after it.

The only reason I won't try Lucid dreaming is because of sleep paralysis, fuck that.

It does not happen often and often is the cause of WILDs, rather than SILD aided by dream journals or reality checks.

The hard part is not to go lucid, it is being able to control dreams in a lucid state
