I have tried the WILD and MILD techniques but failed to even get a glimpse of a lucid dream I'm thinking of trying external cues such as bells as a anchor to tell me I'm in a dream does anyone have experience with such a technique?
Since it's summer break I just wanna have a wet dream cuz im tired of pornography and masturbation. I never had one which is crazy might aswell be because I masturbate too much im really really addicted im really horny rn and lowk gonna wait until night and hope to get a lucid/wet dream. Can anyone tell me what exactly happens in a wet dream too? I just wanna ejaculate today night cuz my underwear is worn out and old anyways and Im really horny so yea. Any tips?
I’m sure this has been talked to death already, but I had what I consider to be my second experience with truly lucid dreaming last night and it freaked me out.
When it began, I could tell that I was halfway between sleep and waking. I knew I could move my body if I wanted to and I felt relatively conscious - I even remember recognizing “oh, I think I’m dreaming lucidly, I should try to conjure something fun.”
But I didn’t see much of anything in that surface level of sleep. Mostly, I started hearing things, voices specifically. I heard one in particular that was dominating everything. It was this deep, unsettling rumble and I can’t remember anything it said specifically but I do remember that it was reacting to my conscious thoughts. The voice almost felt sentient, maybe evil.
It freaked me out quite a bit, and I ended up resurfacing from sleep after talking to it for a while (and eventually feeling like I needed to get away from it), at which point the voices all totally disappeared.
Does any of this sound concerning? It sounds ridiculous but they say that anyone can develop schizophrenia at any point in their life. I never believed that the voice was real, but it felt so present, like it was talking to me, like it knew what I was thinking.
So my dreams aren't really vivid, I like to explain them as me sitting in a dark void trying to imagine things in my mind (you know it it feels, right?) and I just found out that people's normal dreams are just as if they were awake and present in the dream! That shocked me tbh and made me insanely frustrated, I am going to start a dream journal, any more tips to increase my dream's vividbeuand lucidity? Other than dream journal, reality checks and WBTB method (I am going to start all of these today)
I’ve been returning to trying to lucid dreaming after like a year, I’m 3 days in, I’ve combined training reality checks, WBTB, wild /mild
But
Nothing is happening
The only progress I’ve been having is with recalling my dreams, I can actually remember them just a little better now instead of thinking I didn’t even have them. I know that progress is slow, and I’m a person with much perseverance, but I’m scared of doing things the wrong way since tutorials always say the same thing over and over again, last night I tried to do WILD. I laid in the same position for 40 minutes straight, going trough my senses, repeating “tonight I’ll be lucid dreaming”, not aggressively, just letting it float towards me, and still it really doesn’t work. I’m a very wakeful person, I can get out of bed the moment after waking up, and I really don’t need any push to get out of that groggy state.
Please tell me what things I should try, until I have some new information I’ll just continue the dream journal and reality checks.
I dreamed about my deceased husband often after he passed. But in one dream we were in a house we had lived in many years ago. It wasn’t just a dream b/c I thought in the dream “you shouldn’t be here” but thought he’d be upset if he found out he was dead. so said nothing. Weird.🤔 He then asked me a question about one of our friends and I said “I don’t know anything about that. I’m dreaming”. I could also read in the dream. Woke up with a start. One of the most vivid dreams I’ve had in my life time.
Is it possible to decide what they do, give them personality traits, etc? Or is it "take them as they are" kinda deal? I'm just wondering if I can actually interact with the characters in the book I'm writing 😅
Soo last two nights were great because I kinda did have a dream and idk if it was lucid because I could talk and think what i wanted but I wasnt aware it was a dream so I only could do what the dream wanted me to do. So for example: today I dreamed that I bought some weird looking cigarettes on a party and I couldn’t just walk away or start flying because I wasn’t aware it was a dream! I just went along with the party came back home and woke up. how to make me aware? Once I wake up I remember mostly everything from the dream. And I remember that I could be myself there so I talked like I would but I don’t remember what I said in some parts of the dream. Dialogues are kinda messy. So yeah pls help! I really want to fly! OH AND I SWEAR I COULD SMELL THE CIGARETTE SMOKE
Hello everyone! For the last few days.. Or months I've been experiencing vivid dreams. However, in the past few days I got a nightmare which was pretty realistic. Like LITERALLY REALISTIC. The way I view my dreams is like another realm or reality—but I like to meet some characters on my favorite anime consistently (not hoping but yeah).
Last night, I tried to attach my earbuds case near my bed. If I'm in the dream, I would be able to find it—signaling I'm not in the real world. I looked at an environment of my favorite anime before I go to sleep. However, everytime I get in those dreams, I behave on how I act, decide, and change those characters but failed (like instead of anime characters—it was Sofia the first ones 😭). I don't even know why those characters were manifested. It is set on a beach but the waves, the sound, the sand particles, the feeling felt real. When I woke up, I looked at the mirror and thought I got tan from the sun.
However, I forget to check my earbuds while in the dream. My consciousness is there, I have awareness but I seem to lack control and tend to forget on the environment. If it indeed changes, my dream naturally changes into another scene (idk if you get it but yeah).
It's kinda crazy because 2 years ago I tried lucid dreaming but there were no vivid dreams everyday. Unlike now, whether I like it or not I had realistic dreams. I currently have class at 8am and even if I get good hours of sleep I felt tired because of the energy that I had in those dreams.
For people who get to experience.. Can you share your tips? Thank u!
I want to know like what what crimes have you committed in LD and when did you draw the line of what's ethical and whats not like I once raided a military base to get on a Jet. Didn't get to far, i was shot 😅
It's just a dream so tell me
And does it effect any part of the awake life that you would not do that thing in Lucid dream again?
Any idea or method to get sleep paralysis intentionally. I want to turn it into a lucid dream or just want to have a bedroom horror experience, it does not scare me unless the demon diddles my booty like that one dude in this subreddit
Hi everyone!
I’ve heard people talk about mirrors in lucid dreams several times, but I still don’t really understand what happens or what they’re supposed to be.
The first time I looked into a mirror during a lucid dream, my reflection was blurry and distorted. It scared me, so I stopped looking.
Today, six years later, I dreamed about a mirror again. I’m a woman, but when I looked at my reflection, I saw some kind of very ugly man. He looked like a mix between an elf and Gollum. It frightened me, so I tried stretching the skin on my face to see if I could make it look like my real face. I kept saying out loud, “Stretch more,” “Smoother,” but the only thing I managed to do was make my face resemble the alien cockroach guy from the movie Men in Black when he pulls the skin on the back of his neck. It was really scary, but I understood that weird things like this can happen in lucid dreams, so I didn’t lose my lucidity.
Then I walked away from the mirror and went through a door next to it to change the setting, and I continued with my lucid dream from there.
What do you think about this? Has anything similar ever happened to you?
had my first lucid dream in a long while, i became lucid after i realized that the view from my window is completly different and then i was flying around for a bit and eventually ended up in some sort of neighbourhood. i was walking around there it felt a little bit strange, then i heard someone calling me. so it was a girl and she basically stopped me by, looked at me and asked me if i was lucid dreaming. i answered that yes, and she said that she's lucid dreaming too. i stared at her and took a very close look at her and ive seen her eyes super vividly, then i started touching her face to like confirm shes really there lol but then i got kinda anxious and it seemed like she didn't want to leave me so i tried to wake myself up. then i had a false awakening in the next dream and it continued on but without me being lucid
anyone had similar experiences? with the dream characters being aware that you're lucid?
Basically what title says i want to start lucid dreaming but i want to do my journal in my phone, do it work or it needs to be in paper??
Don't tell me to write on paper. I have got some personal problems
So I can only write in mobile
Hi everyone,
I'm on Day 3 of trying to learn lucid dreaming, but I haven't had any success yet.
My routine:
- Sleep: 3:00 AM – 8:00 AM
- I do reality checks by counting my fingers.
- I use lucid dreaming wallpapers on my phone and laptop as reminders.
- Every morning I record my dreams as a WhatsApp voice note.
- I don't use the Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) method or an alarm. I just sleep normally and wake up naturally.
I remember my dreams well, but every dream is different. I don't see the same places or people, so I can't find any dream signs.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal? Should I keep doing this, or should I change something?
Any beginner advice would really help. Thanks!
Well not exactly taught, but it was saying techniques and why they worked. So last night was the second night after my week break of trying to lucid dream, and my dreams are already very vivid and very long or multiple dreams again. And during dreaming, I went to sleep, and woke up in my room on my bed. I don't know if I was half asleep, or if my real room was still in my dream, but anyway. I thought it myself "I didn't lucid dream, oh well back to sleep." (Also I do WBTB and this was after) And when I closed my eyes, I saw some sort of square screen like a box tv, and I thought "I should dream of my legs hurting." And it barley worked, but it just kept me awake, and suddenly I pressed a skip buttong, and a female narrator came out of the blue and started to tell me how I could lucid dream. She was saying experience with physical sensations like hobbies, or interactions like being stared at. And it showed me scenarios too! After that it went to normal dreaming. But it was trippy, but helpful! It said that you just gotta imagine something you could do like it's a walk in the park, and you imagine your doing as you sleep until you feel it, like origami. Or like an interaction, she said "Imagine this manikin is staring at you, when you start to feel it, think fo opening your eyes."
So in conclusion, can someone explain why this happened? Or what the techniques she taught me were?
I have recently gotten back into lucid dreaming, I used to be able to remember my dreams every night however now I cant remember anything. I got back into it because I remembered a fragment of a dream I had 2 nights ago where I was ina some sort of liminal space. But last night I was trying to make sure I remembered my dream in the morning but today I couldn't remember a single thing.
Also the reason I stopped lucid dreaming before is because I do not like spending time as soon as I wake up writing for a while because it hurts my hands and I prefer to do other things when I first wake up, so if you could give me a way to combat this that would be useful!
Every single time when I do wbtb this problem occurs. Even if im super excited before going to bed to LD. But the moment i wake up for wbtb I feel super demotivated, I just want to go back to sleep. I don’t have the willpower to actually start a technique. I just fall asleep immediately without even trying anything because I’m way to tired and to lazy.
How could I fix this? Have you ever had this problem? And how did you fix it?
