well everyday for the past six years i have been noticing that when im asleep i actually know im sleeping so its like im half awake and dreaming and i can control what im dreaming its pretty awesome though.
Sounds like lucid dreaming! Some people can naturally just do it, others can teach themselves to. You're one of the lucky few! :)
Just had my 4th Lucid Dream. I believe I am becoming more proficient at discerning my dream state from the reality.
It is as funny each time I do it to think "hey...this should NOT be happening" and then figure out why it should not. Funniest ish ever...
i wish i could say i can control my dreams, i rarely have dreams. that's really cool though.
Done it three times now. I am looking earnestly for the 4th installment, because i'm retaining my lucidity longer each time I happen to awaken in one.
But Goddammit when you have dreams about your job it get's hard to decipher your really not there. My mind really likes to keep the fact i'm dreaming hidden.
Doc, i'm on to myself though. My mind better send some Hail Mary's on their merry way because i'ma comin and i'm not stoppin...
if you can stay up for about 40 hours i think you will be more likely to have a lucid dream when you finally sleep. you could also try putting a blue crystal under your pillow. and as for dreams that seem really real, there is usually something out of place. like you'll see a pet that you don't have anymore or an original nintendo entertainment system that you sold in a yard sale ten years ago. everything else will be exactly like your room/job/whatever real place you're dreaming about...good luck on your journeys, maybe we'll meet in a dream sometime
Sounds like a deal. I believe the dream world is one of the great, massive frontiers that hold the same category as the deep blue oceans and deep space. I believe the oneironauts will explore and discover great stretches in time. That blue crystal is a stellar idea.
As a side note just plain curiosity it seems as though being sober is the only way. Would you think an inebriated individual could possibly conceive the veils to attain lucidity?
i think the ocean is a good metaphor, mysterious and fluid and as far as any earth-dwelling lifeform is concerned, it is also infinite. i think sobriety is imperitive. i never remember my dreams if i'm drunk, and sometimes smoking herb is enough to prevent me from having lucid dreams.
yeah, it seems like if i smoke every day before i go to bed that i'm less likely to remember my dreams and might go weeks without being conscious of dreams. maybe the really important ones still get through, i'm not sure. if i wake up and then go back to sleep i usually remember them though. it's best to think about your dreams as soon as you wake up, because if you get in a hurry and are occupied with your morning routine, you will probably forget them.
I can always control my dreams, but I can only dream in the mornings and someone always wakes me up when it happens. (I can turn off my alarm in my sleep and delay my waking if I want to, but not if someone else interferes)
It sucks because when I get it right, I can do and think about things that I otherwise would not while awake and I never get the chance.
Also, I'm sure this was asked before, about 2 weeks ago.
usually people dream, then don't remember at all that they assume they didn't dream at all. however, when they're awakened by any interference while dreaming, then they can remember what was in their dream clearly. If you always wake up before dream ever ends, that may be the reason why.
it's called lucid dreaming... some people try for years do to what you have been doing and they never can. you're lucky.....
