Hello, I'm a filmmaker getting my masters in basically various forms of media. I'm making a documentary where I've been interviewing people about their dreams, and have them explain their most memorable dreams in detail. There is more to it, but I dont want to post to such a large forum with all the details. I am looking for more people to participate, currently I have 14 interviews and I would at least 10 more. I would be interested in interviewing people in general, but I have interviewed a psychologists about dreams, I would also like to interview a neurologist or someone who works with brains, someone who works with and studies people while they sleep, and a philosopher to talk about the history of dream theory. And whoever else thinks they have an important perspective on this. I can interview you through webcam.

Sorry at this point it's an ultra low budget documentary, and I can not pay, but I think you will find what I'm doing interesting.

If you are interested please message me directly, and we can discuss and schedule from there.

I keep dreaming about things and then they come true wtf is happening am i tweaking out or is this like a real thing that happens?

Guys lucid dreaming just seems too unrealistic to me. I will probably wake up if I get too excited during a dream and that will disrupt my sleep, right? I don't even believe it is true. Can I do it at this age without interrupting my sleep at all?

I have been trying to ld for close to a year now and have only had success 1 or 2 times. I don't really think I am just in the best position I mean I am 15 living in my parents house obviously so I can't set alarms for wbtb and I always forget to reality check during the day and it's actually crazy how I managed to stick with it I mean I'm sadly have the unchoosable trait of if it doesn't work instantly I don't bother. At first I had a crazy passion to ld I just found it so interesting and I tried and tried again but now it has just turned into one of those things I remember for a day and do nothing. I used chatgpt to help me asking it questions. The only reason I didn't use reddit as much is because you can't always guarantee an answer so I am open to absolutely any advice as I still really want to lucid dream

Have you ever been put in a situation or caught doing something so intense that it felt like it’s not real? Almost like you’re dreaming in real life.

I’ve been a long time lurker on this subreddit, I always wanted to try lucid dreaming but never really put as much effort into it as others claim you have to. It was just one of those things that before I’d go to bed I’d be like “I will lucid dream” like ten times or whatever.

Anyways, I just woke up from a nap. I remember telling myself I finally did it. I was blinking and flipping through settings like it was nobody’s business. I felt like a fucking pro. I was having a good time until I blinked and I was in a school. I was like okay cool I can just hangout here a sec I don’t really know why it’s not letting me blink again but whatever. I’m just hanging out kinda wandering around this school when I turn a hallway and see a door. The door looks straight out of a fucking sci fi movie, with glowing red light beaming out from under it. I start to make my way towards the door, and I’m like wait. Have I read on Reddit or somewhere to not go through a door when lucid dreaming? Or did I imagine that?

Ultimately, I turned around because I didn’t want to risk it. I started walking back towards a library, when I heard footprints behind me. I turned around, and saw a black dog. Rottweiler type, but all black. I for whatever reason understood it wanted me to follow it, so I turned around and began to. At this point I had semi woken up? I was thinking I needed to check Reddit to see if I can go through doors and I remember thinking about how hot I felt but wanted to keep dreaming so I stayed put. Didn’t even open my eyes. I was still walking with the dog, and we turned down the same hallway with the door again. I was thinking that this is ridiculous so I went up to the door again, and put my hand on the handle. It was such an intense feeling in my gut that was telling me to not open the damn door. I think it may have freaked me out a bit. So, again, I decided to turn and walk away. The dog was no where to be found. I was walking away when the lights cut. All around me was pitch black except for the door when i turned around. The red light had faded and all I saw now was what looked like the lights of a regular ceiling light. There were two shoes there as well. I began to feel a little freaked out so I started trying to blink to a new place again. I blinked really hard and suddenly I was in some random apartment, of a girl who I hadn’t spoken to in years. My girlfriend was on the couch as well as her sister, and so was the friend. There was some dudes there but I was feeling a little odd. I went to the bedroom, and felt this hair in my mouth. I started pulling it, but it was coming from my throat and just kept coming so I broke it off and went back out to the living room.

The hair really started to bother me so I started pulling it again. Everyone there was kinda just sitting, not paying attention to me or each other. It felt like a comfortable silence. I just kept pulling this hair from my throat, it just kept going and going. I had a clump of hair at one point in my hand when I decided I’d go to the bathroom, the clump of hair turned into a weave of brown, perfect curls, and I just was like uh…. Ok and put it in the garbage. I felt another hair so started pulling that too, and out comes a giant, plastic, hotdog wrap. Like the plastic they cover the 36 pack of hotdogs in it. And then I was throwing up blood and I peeked out to tell my girlfriend we needed to go to the ER asap. It wasn’t even like cut open or anything and all the numbers (expiration date?) looked funky on the packaging but I was very stressed about it. I went to grab my stuff and had the realization that I should try and swallow, so I did.

And then suddenly I was back in my bed and I had just woken up. I told my girlfriend all of this and she told me I had been breathing so weird, like really hard at some points and then shallow in others until I eventually just gasped awake. Anyways, that was fucking weird. I don’t know that I ever want it to happen again. It kind of scared the shit out of me.

plsss

I had cried a lot in 2022 when my father passed away and now i feel like that i have exhausted my limits to cry. I can never cry and feel light when something happens to me, i do not feel any intense emotions now and that is the reason i wanna cry and feel the lightness in my lucid dream. I wanna refresh my memory and get out of this childhood boockage of emotions. Has anyone ever before tried this, if yes how did it work for you.

So today in one my dream I was walking with a person I know irl and I came across 3 wooden tablets where some stuff were inscribed in an ancient language. The first tablet said something about the Helis people and how they were suppressed. Then I jumped into another dream inside it to dig some information about them and apparently they won in 1926 against some International organization.

And I wake up type these keywords on google and it somehow made sense.

I have never read or heard about this type of experience in the past. What happened was, I wasn't feeling well so I lied down to take a nap. I was lying on my back and had a pillow over my eyes to block out the sunlight coming through the window. After sleeping for a couple of hours I woke up. My eyes were still closed and the pillow was still covering my eyes. To be clear, the pillow was resting on my head and brow and primarily the loose pillowcase fabric was covering my eyes. I lied there for a while with my eyes still closed trying to assess how I was feeling. Not much better. I then open my eyes with the fabric still covering them, I could feel my eyelashes brushing the fabric, and each time I blinked and that's when this weird experience happened. What I saw when I open my eyes was what looked like an old style film strip one frame, and slightly enlarged. The image was black and white and slightly blurry. Also everything around the outside of the film strip image was black. The image appeared centered in my vision but at a bit of a distance not like I was holding it in my hand looking at it close up. A bit like Like watching TV on a small screen at a distance. The first image I saw was of the parking lot across the street that I can see out of my window. It was a video of a one car crashing into another but in a weird way that was not normal almost a cartoon animation but the images were lifelike only the crash was cartoonish, because it defied physics. When I blinked my eyes there was another image same format but it was a still image of two people playing large life size chess Outdoors , the kind you see at resorts. I blinked my eyes again and the next image was a still image of people sitting in a movie theater . At this point I began to Blink purposely and with each blink a new image or video. I lingered on the first three images for quite some time trying to figure out what was happening each time but then I began to Blink faster and as I did the images changed with every blank and I don't remember what they were. I was consciously aware this was happening and mystified how it could happen when I felt I was very much awake, not consciously dreaming, at least that's what I thought. It didn't feel the same as lucid dreaming and my path in and out of lucid dreaming wasn't in the right order. Once coming to this realization I decided to prove it to myself by getting up. I concluded that I was very much awake the whole time. This experience was so unique to the way I normally dream I don't know if it was a dream or something else completely. Has anyone else had this experience?

Tenho sonhos lúcidos praticamente todas as noites. Sempre conheço pessoas que nunca vi na vida, em lugares que nunca pisei. Lembro o nome das pessoas. É como se fosse uma outra realidade.

Alguém pode me explicar isso melhor?
