Does anybody ever have Lucid Dreams?

That raises some questions like... nah, better not.

Is sleep paralysis when you know you're asleep and want to wake up but you cant?
If so I have only had that once, maybe twice. I still remember it cause it scared the **** out of me. Just lying in bed, knowing you have to get up, but you cant because there something not allowing you to wake up. Really creepy, I 'd rather have nightmares a whole week than experience sleep paralysis again.

Lucid dreaming is something I have been training on for a couple of years now. At first, I just woke up instantly when I figured out I was in a dream, but now I have worked out a strategy of how to keep me in the dream and to not wake up.

Basically when I get to that conclusion in the dream, I play along in the dream's "story" for a while (usually your subconcious guides you where you "are supposed" to go) and then I take small small steps of breaking out of that trail and when I feel secure enough to not wake up, my favourite trick is to put on high jumping stilts and just jump away to wherever I can really recommend summoning the jumping stilts, they are easily as cool as flying and you dont have to worry about loosing the flight ability and falling down and waking up either, because you always land on them.

Regarding flying, I hate doing that. Thats usually when the risk of waking up is the greatest. Dont know why, but I have never been a fan of roller-coaster, and when I dream I'm flying, that feeling in the stomach is the same feeling I get in the roller-coasters in the real world, so that probably has something to do with it.

Do you wake up wet after you "finish" as a man?

See I never have this problem. Over time I've developed the ability to fly in my dreams. It's a natural to me now as walking. So now in the majority of my dreams I am able to fly even if the situation doesn't really call for it. Like the other night when I had a dream I was in 300 and I was leading the battle. Right before I reached the enemy I just took off and flew above them.

However I do have a problem with my subconscious. After a while I start to hear my subconscious creating the dream. If I'm talking to someone I hear my own thoughts like I do in the real world and then I hear the guy I'm talking to repeat it. Or I hear my thoughts go "and then this happens" and then it happens. But that usually only happens when I'm about to wake up.

[brboy]

Um, yes, of course.

 

[Lily Adler]

Most of the time, yes...

After contributing to this topic yesterday. I had a flying sequence in one of my dreams last night. It went quite well...

I've been having a lot of lucid dreams lately. i'm not trying to train myself or anything....it's just happening. I am talking a medicine that has lucid dreams as a common side-effect. I think though, that a lot of it has to do with the fact my dreams lately have a very common parten, and I've been sort of weirded out about why I've been having those dreams and so I've been thinking about them alot while awake....so maybe my mind has started to recognize the pattern? It certainly feels that way when I relieze lucidity.
Anyway, when I have lucid dreams, something goes off in my head where I'm like "Oh S***, I wanna wake up" Because quite frankly, I've always been scared of dreams. So I never have taken the opportunity to mess with my dream. I would like to, but every time I have a LD I go into the "I wanna wake up panic".
