How much does the dream notebook improves the probability of having lucid dreams?

I don't want to do reality checks but I don't believe that writing dreams will make me have lucid dreams, it sounds odd to me...

Told someone I was dreaming

Had just gotten out of a spooky dream in a haunted house that was like a maze and now found myself in a schools gym. From behind me I heard people talking about dreaming I turned and it was a dude I went to highschool with I haven’t seen in years.

“Hey man that’s crazy I’m actually dreaming right now”

“Be careful who you tell that to around here” - guy in dream

I laughed and told him I don’t believe in any of that nonsense. (My gf is very superstitious about telling people you’re dreaming in dreams)

I then noticed a woman I had seen in my previous dream.

“Hey man what’s her deal she was in the dream I just came from?”

“Oh yeah her? Yeah she died she just hangs out here now.” - guy in dream
Again I laughed and said that’s nonsense and went about my way walking through the school and seeing people I went to highschool with and talking about how life is now.

I should add I recognized the woman who was apparently dead from an instagram reel I had seen days before. The last time I had a lucid dream before I had any knowledge of the superstitions around telling people you’re dreaming in dreams there was a group of people who invaded my home and were antagonizing me. I simply told them I would kill them if they did not leave and physically removed them from my house and that was the end of the dream.

Anyone have anything similar to this? All I’ve been seeing online is that everyone’s dreams get really creepy if they tell someone they’re dreaming.

I did it with an alien ?

It's earth the whole earth has sunk under water,and am the only one alive living on the water surface (I can walk on water),and I live in a wooden house in the middle of the ocean on the surface. One night I hear something outside my door I go out and see a beautiful girl with white hair and milky skin on my door step bruised and wet,I tend to her wounds and as the days past we fall in love. After the night we make love when I come back from hunting I saw her crying, she tells me that she gave birth to our child. I was shocked but happy so without thinking even once I grabbed my child. As soon as I saw my kid, he had the face of serpent, body of a human and tail of a lion. I was scared thats when she told me that she is an alien and came to hunt me but due to a crash was wounded,and seeing my loving nature fell in love with me. After that It was hard to accept it,but I finally did and started my family.

Did I just time jump?

Yesterday I had a dream where in,when i slept at night,i suddenly got up sitting on my high school bench with the class in session (mind it i am in my mid 20s so it took me to the time I was in my second year of highschool), so when I got up i was shocked to see the year the teacher the students and more surprising was that in I had an athletic body(during my school days I was healthy kid), and i figured out that much that something is wrong, while I was figuring it out, it was lunch break and during that a girl randomly came to me and I never saw this girl in my school never, she was a good looking girl tall, long brown hair a figure that every man dreams of a girl that would never talk to me during my school days and she invites me to her house.

When I was going to her house i still couldn't recollect who she was,when we reached her place she has a mansion, I don't think that anyone was this rich in my school and I went in to her room and no one was in her house,as soon as I entered her room and was about to ask what's going on I saw it started raining and the lights went out,then she threw me on her bed and started smooching me hard (i have never kissed a girl still don't know i could feel it),I melted and then I couldn't control my self and then our bodies became one.

After that when we were looking at eachother,it was still raining she confessed her love to me and when I was gonna reply with the same i fell asleep there and got up here and it was morning.

Can someone tell me did i really time jump.

Apocalypse with Jennifer Lawrence.

I had this dream last year, one of my fav dreams. It is apocalypse and the dream starts with Jennifer at night in new york running in a half torn beige coloured secretary suite on heels from zombies, and she has around 5 zombies chasing her. While running her heels get stuck in a concrete crack and she trips, as she was gonna get devoured that's when I come in driving a Rolls Royce suv with blue lights under them i smash my way through them and open the passenger door and let her in.

Due to the commotion more zombies were coming in that's when i decided "hell yeah now I got to survive the apocalypse with Jennifer Lawrence", that's when i decided to leave the city.

When it was morning again we started talking i gave her some food and she was really thankful and I started fan boying her that she was great in hunger games and xmen and she has a look off "oh it's nothing for me", so we drove for some time came towards the country side and saw a house which was abandoned, so we decided to make this our lair.

When i parked the car no one could say it was a rolls Royce, when we entered the house it was a really empty and stacked with supplies and surprisingly running hot water and electricity.

As soon as she saw that she told me she gonna take a baat so can I take charge for the time being,so while she was getting ready to take a bath I was sitting outside the washroom.

When it was night we had dinner dimmed the lights and danced a little on old songs.

Our days past like this then one day when i had gone out to get supplies. While leaving she had a face of worry and gave me a huge hug i promised her that I would be fine.

But things went out of my hands, it took me two days to come back as the supply person had been eaten by zombies so I had to hunt for supplies. On the ride back I just hope that she would be fine I cried and hoped that this the only person I have in my life now.

Thats when i reached home I saw her standing outside the door crying as soon as I came close to her I got out of the car and i could see her face it was a face of that she cried a lot as soon as I got out of the car she leaped on me and kissed me with all the passion she had and trust me (I have never kissed a girl in real life but even when I got up i could feel those lips), then I told her everything and kissed me again and when made love,her body was smooth and slender,the smell of her hair were like flowers to me.

Thats when we understood we love each other and then we have to survive this apocalypse together and make more love(come on she is Jennifer).

She made me do whaaat?

In this dream, I am in my early 20s and I go to the country side to my paternal grandparents crib, and one day while walking around with my cousins while crossing a house i stopped to tie my shoes and as I was tieing a girl came running out from her house looked around a little she looked panicked, then our eyes met and she came running towards me and requested, she looked tensed, exhausted and scared, i had some water i gave it to her and as she was drinking it she looked at me and said "you're perfect" and had a reliving face.

As she said that I was shocked and asked her what happened she told me that she a 28f and her parents are forcing her to get married and today when some of there relatives and cousins came to meet them all of them kept asking her the same question so she got irritated and said that she has a boyfriend, and as she said that the relatives were happy but now kept insisting that they want to see him, and as she has no guy friends she came out to look for a good and half decent guy to fake it and coincidentally I was right outside her door, so she requested me to help her.

I decided to help her after thinking for some time then we went inside her full family saw me and instantly liked me and after I told them i own my own car company in the city they accepted me more and directly started talking about marriage, when I saw things getting out of hand I took her to another room and told her that I don't want to get married I am still young and never had a gf, so she made a cute and delicate face different from the one while asking for my help and said that "marrying me won't be that bad right?", when she said that two things came to me one that dude am young don't want to get married second HOLY SHIT SHE IS HOT AF I WANNA MARRY HER.

While I was thinking about this she had gone out to the drawing room and told everyone that I accept the marriage and me still shocked, then her father came to me and told me that before the marriage there is a ritual where in the soon to be couple have to bathe together (don't mean to offend anyone this is my dream, if there is actually a ritual like this and i offended anyone I am sorry), so seeing everyones eager faces i accepted.

As we both entered the shower room and I closed the door while facing the door i told her that this is wrong u shouldn't lie to ur family and tell them that u don't like me. As I completed my statment she turned me around and she was only wearing her black lingerie and told me "who said I don't like u I have loved you ever since u came to meet ur grandparents two years ago I have been rejecting everyone only for you and today when I was in trouble u were in front of me u are the one I am destined with so marry me and be with me for ever" and as she said this she removed my tshirt and started kissing me and asked that happened I got up.

Dreams/Sleep Strangeness

It's been a while since I've posted anything so today I feel the need to get some stuff off of my chest.

First, are any of you guys often waking up in the middle of the night to an all out panic attack? This seems to happen to me in waves. I'll go weeks getting great sleep and then a stretch of waking up from 12-3am in a terrible panic for no reason.

Also, for the first time ever, I started lucid dreaming a few times. In the first one I was a little ball of energy and I could go anywhere that I wanted. I could travel faster than the speed of light, go through anything and go anywhere I wanted. I visited a few different familiar places and at the end of it I was in my back yard and wanted to go see what was in the neighbors old empty house next door. When I went through the first floor I saw a ghost family just hanging out and then I went upstairs and saw this great big black evil feeling blob of energy chilling. It immediately tried to attach itself to me and I spent brief rest of the dream running away from it.

The second lucid dream happened during a session with one of my spiritual healers. I was laying on my couch while they were doing work and when I closed my eyes I saw all the regular 'beings' that I usually see around me. They immediately took me on a tour through places that I visit during my regular recurring dreams. Super strange.

This last one was really odd. I was in the body of a teenager and we were at a large party out on a farm somewhere. I was standing around a group of boys and got in a physical fight. One of them kept hitting me in the chest and I could feel the pain from it. I then decided to get the hell out of there and flew off. I wanted to go to the home of this person that I was in. I flew up and through a super large barn and through some trees. Whenever I'm flying in these dreams and I'm going through something like a wall or a tree I can feel it in some type of way. It doesn't necessarily hurt, but it does feel funny. The faster I'm moving, the more intense the feeling. And tree branches kind of suck. This last time I felt a little afraid of heights at first too. Anyways I ended up in this strange house with nobody home and decided that was enough of that and woke up. This happened a few days ago and I am still trying to figure out what the hell that was all about. Who was that person that I was in, where the hell was I and why??

Why was I cheating?

(Before starting I want to clarify one thing, as I have mentioned in my dreams before I am single and have never dated anyone in my life, but still I have these types of dreams so don't judge and enjoy reading my dream.)

I am a head in a big company and now am about to have sex with my sexy employee, we both check-in into our usual hotel room, now even the Manager knows me.

We enter the room, i am wearing a suit and she throws me on the bed and then she sleeps next to me removing her clothes.

She was wearing light blue lingerie, and she was looking stunning, she was a tanned skin woman with black lucious hair and thickness in all the right places.

As she laid beside me she started removing my suit and when we got to my underwear she started massaging me down there which I could even feel throughout my body, then she asked me to remove her lingerie and she removed my underwear and when we had started to snuggle with our bare bodies i got a call from the room telephone.

I picked it up with anger chewing the hell out of the person who called, but when I heard what the other person said i got cold sweats, it was the manager telling me that it was my wife who found out through someone that I was cheating on her and now is in the hotel and coming towards my room.

As soon as he finished his sentence the door started banging and there she was screaming my name and calling out to me, I was scared to death as was the girl on my bed, she kept on screaming and as I was about to open the door I got up.

(I hope u enjoyed reading my dream and once again I don't condone cheating, and it is the worst thing u can do, but it was a dream so I can't control it, and thank you for reading 🙂)

Was i manifesting?

Hi, I had this dream few months ago. This dream is basically about a girl who rejected 33 times during my time in highschool. So this is how it starts.

It is around 11 pm at night, and me and one of my childhood friends we have come to drug store(pharmacy/medical shop), to buy some medicines for my friend at home who has aids. We buy the medicines, and as soon as we leave the store it's starts rainin and in that under the street lamp I saw a girl standing.

She wore a dress with a black and white pattern,heel boots and held a starbucks frappe, by the looks of it,it looked like that she had gone on a date and it went bad so my friend insisted me that I should shoot my shot and he went away, and even I thought that I should not loose this golden opportunity, so I went close to her.

I bent a little and asked her "ma'am do you need something", no reply, i asked her again but no answer so for me it was a no go,but seeing her cry made me feel bad so I went to the drug store and bought a bottle of water for her and sat next to her and offered her the bottle. She took the bought and had a few swigs and said thank you, then I told her my name and when she heard it she suddenly stopped sobbing and looked at me.

When I saw her face i recognised who she was, it was her the girl who rejected during my highschool days,all that pain came back to me the time gave flowers to her, the time I gave her a ring on her birthday, the time I asked her to be my gf in front of the whole class the time I found out my then school best friend was her boyfriend.

All that came to me at once I got up and was about to leave, that's when she called my name out and requested me that she wants to talk to someone for some time and later she told me about how her bf of 5 yrs left her and i also told her that even I had a gf(not in real life), she cheated on me and after this talk it was almost 1 am in the morning.

I offered her a lift home and she instantly said yes, on our way home she kept on Staring at me, I felt a little uneasy still raining.

When i dropped her off at her apartment i could see that her eye liner had spread across her face, one could say it was due to the rain but I knew the reason and felt bad for her,but thought to my self that I am never going to see her face again and turned away towards my car.

As I turned back she held my hand asked me with a sobbing voice "are you not going to stay with me, for bit longer", with all the hate i could remember towards her shook her hand off and walked away with some numbness in my eye (not bcoz of the rain), meeting her after so many years was tough.

She held my hand again turned me around and pulled my head towards her face and enveloped her arms around my neck and pulled me towards her face and told me "please stay with me I need you". As soon as she said that I everything went silent and i could just hear the water droplets pouring down on the concrete road and my car, that when my dream broke and I got up

Guys this dream of mine sounds like it's from a movie or drama but I swear this was a real dream, i just request please read and tell me how my dream was i would love to have a conversation with u guys, so I would love to share more of my dreams with y'all and talk to y'all.🙂

The girl from my school days

If you have read my other dreams you might know my dreams are related to my non existent love life, so this dream is also related to that, so I hope you enjoy reading my dream 🙂.

In the dream I am walking down the street with my grandmother quarreling about something, as I wanted to go to the supermarket and she had to go the the park so I called a taxi for her to take her to the park and I will go walking to the supermarket, and she didn't want that, but at the end i still did that.

so when I reached the supermarket I had to buy milk so I went to the milk section, there I saw a familiar face like I had seen her somewhere, then remembered this is the girl from my school (the school here I am talking about is my school in real life and the girl also from my real life, and mind it during my school life I hardly ever talked to this girl and never had feelings for her), so I went to her and approached her and we had a little chat and at the end exchanged insta ids and contact information.

Now it's been a couple of days and I was waiting for the bus to go to my college near my house and I was listening to some music, after I feel a person next to me I turn right and see it's her and as I saw her she suddenly looked cute and I said hi, after some conversation it suddenly started raining so I recommend her my appartment is close by so we can wait some time in the lobby, so in the rain we ran towards my appartment and then we reached the lobby and sat down on one of the seats we both were wet and she looked cute as ever.

Something came over me and suddenly i felt a wood branch stick in my hand so I gave it to her saying "take this consider this as a rose from me", as I gave it to her she took it and pressed it against her heart and then bent down and kissed me and asked me to be her lover.

After that day we started dating and while dating i noticed one thing that she is controlling and very possessive (let me tell u this once if ur reading my dreams for the first time, I have never dated in my life and I am in my 20s so I don't know how a girl is in a relationship), and I also saw my self changing as from a simple student with good grades and simple life i had become a biker and i even started looking like a biker too my family was shocked to see me like this but initially i ignored them but after some time I looked at myself and thought why have I changed so much.

After sometime while riding with her I met my old friend whom I had not seen for years he saw me and talked to me and made me realise that this is not me and I have to change myself but I ignored him at that time to but his words were stuck in my head.

After a few days while driving alone from a distance I saw a bee stinging a fly so many times that the fly lost its life.

Our relationship had become one and a half year old and after a few considerations i decided to end things with her and be friends and be my old self bcoz I started hating myself, so I changed my clothes into my old ones and once when no one was at my home i called her to talk to her, as soon as she saw me and came inside i could see her face and understand that she knew what's going to happen and once we sat down and i started telling her everything she started crying.

I couldn't see her cry so i went to comfort her and when I was gonna say that we should breakup she shut my lips up, threw me back at the sofa and started kissing me and when I resisted she became more into it and after that I gave in ( and mind it in the dream we were "doing it" for the first time since our relationship started), while we were doing it she told me that she wants to marry me and in it I said yes but after saying that, the vision of the bee killing the fly came infront of me, after that I got up.

Thank you for reading my dream, and i have a question why did I have that vision while doing it with her?

Do you also feel embarrassed/scared while writing in your dream journal?

When I do something embarrassing or shameful in my dreams, I feel too embarrassed to write it in my dream journal because I’m scared someone might read it and I’d be humiliated. I also have this strange fear that if I suddenly disappeared one day or died under mysterious circumstances, people would look through my phone and, because of my dream journal, accuse me of witchcraft or something else and spread lies saying I died while doing bad things.

In my country, there was a woman who did Tarot readings on Instagram. She went missing while hiking in the woods, and when she was found, she had died from hypothermia. After that, people harassed her friends and family by saying things like “she was a witch who went into the forest to perform rituals and died.” It got so bad that her father had to go on a livestream crying and saying, “My daughter was not a witch.”

Ever since then, I’ve been thinking about my own family and wondering if people would talk about me like that too. Do you think I'm exaggerating?

A rather peaceful dream

​

Hello,most of my dreams are pretty bizzare and adventurous even written a few on reddit,but this was a Rather peaceful one and one of my favourite dreams,so please enjoy.

It's 5:30 in the evening in L.A, the sky is pinkish purple in colour the one you see while playing gta 5,and I am walking the hollywood sign trail with the girl I have been dating for a long time she wore a baggy red hoodie skinny jeans, boots had black nailpolish on and had her hair tied in pigtails.

While walking and looking at the sunset and walking holding hands i suddenly stopped in a perfect place where we could see the lit city and the dying sun together, she looked at me Puzzled,I had tears in my eyes happy ones, and I asked her to marry me.

As soon as I asked her she smiled and kissed me and said finally you said it and kissed me again, then something unexpected happened. I saw that on a blimp my confession was being broadcasted and the full city saw that and cheered for us and then we could se people launching fireworks and we were so happy we looked at eachother and she said let's be happy forever together, then I got up.

Would you actually use a dream analysis app?

Hey everyone,

I recently started building a dream analysis app called Dreamanaly, mainly because I’ve always been fascinated by weird dreams and how people try to interpret them.

The app uses AI to analyze dreams, explain possible meanings, and also includes relaxing sleep sounds like rain, ocean waves, etc.

I’m curious though — how do people actually feel about dream analysis apps nowadays?

Do you think they’re:

  • fun entertainment,
  • emotionally helpful,
  • creepy,
  • inaccurate,
  • relaxing,
  • or something you’d never use?

Also, what features would actually make you WANT to keep using a dream app instead of uninstalling it after one try?

I’d genuinely love honest feedback, even harsh opinions 😅

Is there anyway a Fit Bit can help with lucid dreaming?

I just bought my first Fit Bit watch. Is there any way it can be used for Lucid Dreaming? Are there any apps that connect to it that can use the fit bit to notice when I’m in REM sleep and make my phone turn an alarm on or make the watch vibrate on my wrist? Any other ways to use the watch for lucid dreaming?

Discovered Hypnagogia for the first time, and I was able to control it!

Last night I almost entered a lucid dream thru meditation. I discovered this ability by accident.

I always meditate to knock out. Last night my brain decided to enter some weird in between state that's apparently known as "hypnagogia".

My brain started showing me solid colors like blue and purple and green.

Then it paused on blue and the blue blob minimized, and everything was all black except like the blue blob which appeared to be on a tiny drawing sized highway in the corner of my eye.

I realized I was visualizing this crap and I was like "omg, this is all in my head wow!"

And with all my might and concentration I(my inner monologue) went "blue car turn right!" This was a conscious decision I made upon realizing, as I found it cool that you can actually build dreams from scratch. ( I also found it funny because during the day, I was watching cars go by and trying to predict what color they would all be as they passed. )

More highway started to appear to the right of my vision and the blue blob car like figure followed!

As I got more excited and fell deeper into the state, I started to lose control of what my mind wanted to do

Some weird cursed incomplete looking 3D mesh figure of a very angry Osama bin Laden started charging towards me and I woke myself up so fucking quick!(Which is also funny because me and my sister were talking about the south park episode with Osama the other day lol)

Weird man..

Looking for a book for granddaughter

Hey everyone! I have a granddaughter who is very interested in lucid dreaming. I want to get her a book on it for her bday and was wondering if anyone has read "Into the Dream" by Winter Rogue and can recommend it or recommend something else? I found that one on Amazon and some others also, but it sounded like the most info maybe.

Thanks in advance

Starts

Trying to shift my wake-up time from 10 AM to 5 AM, but it’s honestly harder than expected.

I realized waking early isn’t the problem—sleeping early is.

Late-night phone scrolling keeps ruining my consistency.

Anyone actually succeed with this long-term? What worked for you?
