r/LucidDreams

Since I was little, I’ve had frequent nightmares about a range of things, from morbid realistic fears to irrational childish fantasies. Due to these night terrors, I learned very early to control the setting, plot, characters, dialogue, and actions of my dreams when I deem the storyline is getting out of control.

It started with simple awareness, along the lines of “that wall isn’t right, I’m dreaming,” or “that isn’t scientifically possible, this isn’t real.” Then I began to teach myself how to leave unpleasant dreams on command by forcing a wake-up. I’d blink as hard as I can in my dream, and eventually, my eyelids in real life would flutter, and I’d be awake. Finally was fine-tuning, as in fixing the scary aspects. Someone is dying? Nope, we all have superpowers and are safe and happy. Bad weather is coming? No, we’re all just working a pet store and decorating the habitats.

Years later, I have managed to keep the ability to lucid dream into adulthood, and I still dream vividly every night. Now dreaming is an escape, something I look forward to as if I were going to watch a play that I myself wrote the script for. If there’s a person I don’t like, they poof out of existence and are written over with something more pleasant.

I haven’t had any bad nightmares in a very long time, because I can control nearly every aspect of my dream except waking up.

I suspect this ability to control my dreams is related to the fact that I am bedridden, so I don’t see much of the outside world. Dreams are a vacation from the familiarly dull corners of my room.

I’m wondering if anyone else is also able to do so? I’d love to hear about other’s abilities in their dreams.

It seems I am more fond of being in my deep dreams rather than real life. My life hasn’t had any great experiences only but a hand full however, any time I dream it feels so real and so good like this is how I should be living my life not like I am in my real life. Everything seems right about it and I can go right back to sleep and continue the same dream and I’m in paradise when I do. Super fantastic feeling when I’m on adventures in my dream or getting the women I want and walking and talking amazing like I remember being proud of myself in my dreams.I handle it all so calmly ,and something starts going wrong in my dream I immediately handle the situation.If I don’t I just wake up and change dreams but that hasn’t happened in my while. Lately in my dreams I’m at the best area ever with the greatest people that I am aware of some I know they are my best friends or family and some are strangers but very cool people. I go on endless adventures and it is so great. I then wake up like kinda bummed I’m not in the reality in my dreams m. I don’t know if I it’s a sign that I could be living this way and feeling this way everyday but what am I missing?????Its bittersweet knowing I can be happy in that universe ,I even remember saying , if this such universe exist I hope that me keeps going with it and has a blast and I will work harder towards my goals and dreams until I feel the way my counterpart “dream” me is able to feel..

I had a really good conversation with paranormal experts about their tools to communicate and all those experiences. Now I had the opportunity to ask paranormal experts about what any of these experiences actually ment!

A few years ago, my sister and I had the same dream on the same night. The only difference between them was the point of view. We both dreamed that we were in a supermarket playing a claw machine with plushies inside. In her point of view, she was in front of the machine playing it. In my point of view, I was beside the machine telling her how to move the claw to catch a toy. Has anyone else had this type of dream?

What is up with those dreams where make it known that you are aware you’re dreaming and the “people” present don’t seem to like that?

I want to hear everybody’s crazy sleep paralysis stories. I didn’t really know I had it until I got on TikTok in like 2019 and I’m so thankful that I know now because I’m more understanding of it I’ve gotten to where I can control it a little bit better where I can snap out of it easier, but it is very scary. It is the most terrifying thing and I do not wish it on anybody so let me know your crazy stories.

This post is deeply personal to me. More like my way of journaling an experience and hear other people’s thoughts about. I seek knowledge and understanding of the experience.

About 10 years ago, 2015, I was going through one of the many rough phases in my life. I was in my first year of university, and had just got suspended from the university’s residence for smoking and drinking alcohol in my room, along other things. My dad rented a place out for me right next to university, only for me to get kicked out from there too because I was dating a girl and we were “loud” in the family section of the complex. My dad decides to teach me a lesson (and save money) by reserving a room for me in a stranger’s 2 br apt. I lived with that stranger for 2 months while i resumed my studies. Needless to say, that person was a filthy parasite of a human. His apt was not clean, and he would let me pay for food without my consent, etc. Anyway, my experience happened there.

I was maybe 2 weeks in this shared apartment, and I started getting sleep paralysis every couple of days. Could not move, or speak, until I woke up. One night while sleeping, I open my eyes and could see the room’s walls, wardrobe, decorations, etc. But could not move my body, i could only move my eyes. After what felt like a 5 mins, I could feel a strange vibration, like a dark energy of some sort. Then this energy grew stronger, and the sound and vibrations grew louder. Until I started hearing loud thumping coming from outside my room. It was not regular thumping as we know it. It sounded and felt like footsteps by someone or something that is not human. The foot steps were slow, and powerful. The sound kept getting closer and I could feel that energy getting nearer to my bedroom. As I looked towards my bedroom door with absolute terror, a shadow began to appear. Until I saw the figure behind those devilish footsteps.

The figure stood there at the entrance of my bedroom for about a minute, facing towards me while i’m about to shit my pants and staring at it in fear. I still could not move or speak. And the energy/ frequency I felt was unlike anything i’ve ever experienced before, like it’s from a different dimension. All I could see and remember was this being’s dark shadow. About 8 feet tall. And its figure seemed to be wearing that hood, like the grim reaper. The thing started getting into my bedroom, approaching me while I was frozen in my bed. One footstep at a time. The loud dark energy coming from it was very strong. Until it stood right next to my bed. It looked towards me for a couple of seconds. Then leaned towards me. At this point, it was right next to my face. It spoke to me with a very deep and unworldly voice. I speak 4 languages and can recognize a familiar language. This was not a language i’ve ever heard before. What’s even weirder is that I remember having understood what it told me. But I do not remember what it was telling me. After about 5 mins of it wispering in my ears. I finally “woke up”. Barely able to catch my breath. Heart racing. Drowning in my own sweat. Looking around me in complete shock and disbelief.

I was traumatized for about two weeks. Stopped going to class. My girlfriend and friends were visiting me to check on me. I had to make sense of what just happened. I looked online for answers, and here’s the scariest part: i’m not the only one who saw that exact being in their sleep paralysis experience. I read a very similar descriptions online by others. After some more research, i found that there are two main explanations to sleep paralysis:

1. Scientific: scientists believe it happens when people lack sleep, their brain confuses dreams with reality, so we start dreaming while we’re awake, like hallucinations.
2. Spiritual/ Islamic belief: there is a Jin called Al-Jathoom, who visits people in their sleep.

The scientific opinion does not explain how different people in different parts of the world would see the same figures. That is just not possible. So I am more inclined to believe the spiritual explanation. My gut feeling tells me this thing was very real. And it was trying to tell me something.

Now in 2026 with all the knowledge coming to surface: Epstein files, Baal, child sacrifices, cloning, reptilians, plandemics, control, spiritual war, inter dimensional beings, “aliens” who are supposedly us from the future, the fermement, and other things, I’m opening up that topic again, to explore further and get a deeper understanding of this experience. But I came out of this experience knowing, without any doubt, that there are other creatures who live with us in this world, that we don’t necessarily see/ hear with our naked eyes (or naked brains).

Thanks for taking the time to read through my journal entry. Let me know your thoughts, politely and with compassion, please. I’m interested especially if you have had a similar experience, or are if you are knowledgable in that realm of the world.

Now I know how fantasy characters feel when they lose their abilities.

I’m in my twenties and my whole life I‘ve had supernatural abilities in my dreams (flying/telekinesis/stopping time/bending water to name a few).

These powers would often tie into the plot, I‘d have to fight another supernatural being, escape a situation by using them or just generally solve a problem.

That was until a few months ago, when suddenly stopped. Only a week ago did I realize this, I definitely would remember ANY power I used in that time frame but Nope. Magic radio silence.

My question is: Why? And will they come back? My dreams are still anything but normal BUT I want my powers back!

Im 16 m and i havs wanted to lucid dream for so long but i always try for a week or to and just forgot for a couple months but im determined this time and i want to do it do bad can anybody help or give me tips and advice.

i only have them randomly like once a year but i want to know more because it sounds so cool to fly around in your dreams and stuff, i just want so stratagys or something to have near guarrenteed lucid dreams.

Hi,

I have recently begun having lucid dreams.

This is not a deliberate thing on my part - but a development after having suffered a bereavement last year.

My question is what type of entities do we meet in dreams?

Sometimes there are people around in my dreams, but the interaction is basically mundane.

But last night I had a dream in which I was exiting a store onto a street and came face to face with an elderly man (who was a complete stranger to me).

I didn't get a bad feeling, just a general sense that there seemed to be something more to him consciousness-wise.

We locked eyes and I had an understanding that he was indicating for me to go ahead of him in walking down the street.

Then as I was walking in front of him he touched the back of my head with his fingertip, in what felt like some sort of deliberate motion or a pattern.

I was not unsettled or alarmed by it at all and just thought 'oh he's touching my head - I wonder why?'.

I didn't think about wanting him to touch my head, so I assume he did this on his own volition.

Has anyone experienced anything like this? Or can offer any type of info about who or what he might have been?

Thanks x

So a lot of time I enter a hotel/casino in MW I have a room I need to check into.

Once I get my key card from front desk I’m told to go to an elevator. I ride the elevator with sometimes weird encounters but what gets me is once I’m on my floor all the paths turn dark so I sometimes get scared and change the scene in my dream sometimes I’m brave and walk in the darkness but it usually deals with me encountering some dark beings/entities.

It’s like someone turned the lights off on purpose.

I have had almost daily lucid dreams for as long as i can remember, in fact they are so vivid i remember almost every ssingle one of them i have ever had. I remember details and if it werent for the almost sick feeling i have in my stomach im not sure i would even know if i was dreaming.

I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my dream recall lately and I’m honestly really proud of it.

I can now remember multiple dreams in one night, and not just tiny fragments either. I remember them vividly enough to write down detailed scenes, conversations, emotions, locations, and weird dream logic moments. Sometimes I can even sketch scenes from my dreams because the visuals stay in my mind so clearly after waking up.

I also noticed I’ve started becoming more aware inside dreams too, like questioning weird things or noticing when something feels off. I’m still working toward lucid dreaming, but my recall progress alone already feels really motivating.

For anyone struggling with dream recall: journaling consistently really does help. Paying attention to your dreams makes a massive difference over time.

This elevator you have to go through this amusement park climbing stair into a busy restaurant and hospital ward. The only option is to go down

Subterranean floor.

Once there it’s a dark cyberpunk feeling parking garage. Either u have developed skills to break into a car or you are manically trying to find ur car.

Once in the car you drive to a desert for what seems like miles you drive off a cliff and land somewhere that feels like the Netherlands?

In the arcade field. Have you guys witnessed a spacecraft simulation game? There’s only two in this room and if you use one it transforms into a real spacecraft. When you realize you are operating a real machine at the fore front you will see the mechanical walls French door style open and you can see the real night sky. You fumble with the keys and shifter but you manage to get in the air. After a while you are able to break through the toposphere and are flying through the cosmos.
