reoccurring dreams worth note no longer lucid dreaming but that may be discussed if you so wish
Does anyone know how to lucid dream? I thought that dreaming was completely out of my control, and the only time I had truly lucid dreams was when I was feverish. But, I just read an article which talks about the advantages of lucid dreaming and said that it was something you could learn to do, but it did not say how. So, does anyone practice this? Know how to practice it, or has come across helpful articles or books talking about it?
I currently hate sleeping, I only sleep about 3 hours a night because I feel like its a waste of time. I hardly ever remember my dreams I'd much rather zone out in front of a tv for a couple of hours then go about my day. So, I was hoping this might help.
Seriously dude? use the goddamn search, we've already had at least 2 threads about this in the past few months.
Anyway, you have to practice remembering your dreams to begin with. Keep a notepad beside your bed so that when you wake up you can write down your dreams immediately upon waking.
The more you do it, the more "conscious" you will be in your dreams. You'll start to notice recurring themes, images, symbolism, etc., which is what will help you to be aware that you're dreaming - and then you can start to actually control what's going on.
nope, nothing popped up in the search.

Practicing meditation and concentration exercises while you're awake also helps you to get more in tune with your subconscious, and will help you to tap into both your conscious and subconscious minds at the same time. Which is basically what lucid dreaming is.
I meditate from 30min. to an hour a day, and I feel like that replaces a lot of the sleep that I should need. But the meditations are never as cool as dreaming I'm batman who has to sleep with catwoman or something weird like that.
I have this one dream since I signed up for a climbing team in 2006 where I am climbing this solid sheet of ice, I mean, it goes on for ages. And I eventually fall, of course. But, I fall into this hot tub where people are congratulating me on a good climb and these gorgeous chicks are all over me, but I just want them to shut up because I'm a shitty dead climber. every time I have this dream I wake up sort of depressed and I don't want to do anything that day.
Lol. I found lucid dreaming came pretty naturally to me. I still remember dreams I had as a toddler. The first time I had a lucid dream was actually quite terrifying - as soon as I became "conscious", everything shut off (I don't know how else to describe it). Like the space I was in went dark, and all the imagery around me disappeared. It was scary as fuck but I remember saying to myself "DON'T WAKE UP!" I literally had to concentrate to make it all reappear again. It was like painting a picture from the memory of a photograph.
ohhh, I just had a dream like that. well sorta, I became aware that I was asleep but I couldn't really interact with the dream past that moment, I just watched. It did occur on a day that I meditated right before sleeping because I was stressing about school. Maybe that's the key to it.
What is it called when you are half awake and half asleep. Are those night terrors? Because, I used to have dreams that people were breaking into my house and I would wake up in the morning with my back against my door.
I would suggest starting with researching dream symbolism/dream meanings - along with keeping a dream diary. Start to dissect and analyze your dreams and see how they relate to your waking life. You have to actually understand your subconscious before you can manipulate it.
you'll struggle to ever be able to lucid dream gmilf. you believe in so much nonsense IRL that you'll never be able to tell your dreams from reality.
Just downloaded Dream Psychology Psychoanalysis for Beginners [Kindle Edition] by sigmund freud.
Is this the type of book I should read? Or one of those dream guide dictionaries.
I'm highly skeptical that there is some language to understanding your subconscious through dreams. The idea that a bid or a pig or a whatever means the same thing to everyone does not take into account different life experiences or perspectives.
However, having said that. I do think that someone who studies these books and learns that a butterfly means x or a coffin means y might start to dream like this, because they have learned the language so to speak. And if that's the case I want to read a book that will tell me that fear of failure is represented in dreams by a bj and stress about school is represented by me being crowned emperor of earth.

Yeah, I've been trying to realign my dosha. It's not doing shit. 
I'm just willing to give stuff a try, especially stuff that has been around for thousands of years, and seems to have some results. Not to say that because it did not work for me it does not work for others, but I am beginning to think that it is just a power of the mind placebo affect thing.
Very easy - flick a light switch.

I did download that but I know I am really wanting something else. It was just a free download with the Kindle. I am pretty sure that I do not need to psycho-analyze myself in order to lucid dream. I wish there was some eastern writings I could find.
I really enjoyed studying the Sutras, mindfulness and other hippie shit which usually involved the inner eye. (Seriously though, if you concentrate on the third eye, imagining there is energy right where that red dot is on Indians, you will have some seriously cool orgasms during tantric sex the body tingles for about an hour.)
Since i was a child I was able to lucid dream, and like many people said, clearing the mind by meditation is a good way to start.
They just come natural to me. It's just another aspect of consciousness.
Ever since I K-HOLED during a VISIONQUEST set I've been able to lucid dream every night.
Mainly it's about my parents divorcing. I don't feel like going into it on these boards.
David, what the hell are you on about?
I will fuck your doll face.
