awww that's so sad. Lucid dreaming at its simplist is knowing you are dreaming. When you get good enough at it you can control you dreams. What's that figure, we only use 10% of our brain or something around there. Lucid dreaming is a step in attempting to grasp some more of your potential.

Do you lucid dream? If you do what do you do to help get you in the state.
What do you think of deja vu? Using the explanation of the final 6-12 minutes of brain activity explanation, you could be dreaming of your life vaguely remember the previous experience of the memory you are acting out. Pretty cool idea, but not much real reason behind it. |

i lucid dream, :D just wanted to clear up that you don't have complete control over the dream, just partly. Its like you're on a boat on a river, you can't change where the river is flowing, but you have control over how ur navigating it in your boat.
Can't really sawy how i learnt to lucid dream, just came gradually i guess. One unfortunate side effect of lucid dreaming, is that i sometimes don't want to wake up till i've seen the dream to its end, hehe and i get mighty pissed off, if i'm woken up b4 it finishes, or at least gets to all the juicy bits, :p |

Yes I've lucid dreamt many times. I don't do anything to help get me into that state...it's just a choice I make once I become aware that I am dreaming, whether I want to take control or not.
I still remember the first time I became aware I was dreaming...I was probably about 6. What made me clue in was the fact that I was having a recurring dream (I still have that dream sometimes too). Anyways, I was in this dream and I remember thinking to myself "I've dreamt this already!" And then it was like a light bulb switched on. My dream life has been very rich since then.
I have so much more to say about this subject, but I could go on for hours...and was actually trying to avoid this thread for that very reason.
Ugh..and don't even get me started on deja vu!! |

I'm curious as to what what you have to say about deja vu. I got a lot of time on my hands and I know not everyone does. |

It's really funny you say that coz that's almost exactly what happened to me, i use to have the same dream every so often and i always realised that it was a dream, i was around 6-7 too.
It's been years since i had that dream but it wasn't nice. I remember i saw myself in my own bed, had the dream then i was upstairs in my mum's room. Don't know how the i got there.
But it was almost real, i swear.
am i blahh-ing............i'm blahh-ing aye?
Time to shut the flaps. :p |

Ive had a couple of dreams that were different, but took place in the same fictitious setting. In my town, its all American and English-speaking, but I sometimes dream that there is a part of my town that is completely Spanish, with the signs and the people and everything.
I had one dream where I was running from the cops for doing something, and I accidentally ran into the Spanish part of my town (which doesnt exist, BTW), and I got lost because I couldnt understand anybody nor could I read any of the signs. Before long, I woke up.
Another dream I had was where me and some friends were driving in my car smoking. If you ever dream of being high, it is ridiculous and so unbelievably cool. Anyway, while we were driving, I realized that I had accidentally driven to the SAME exact Spanish part of town, which again, does not exist in real life. I recognized everything. I saw the same signs and people that I did in my other dream.
Its very trippy to think about, but also VERY cool. |

| I must say that is pretty damned weird, especially the consistency of signs. Usually in dreams, they say that signs, clocks, etc. are never consistent and that is one way to tell if you are dreaming. Obviously you have a pretty strong mental construction of this town, a very weird thought to think about. |

i've had several lucid dreams but they were totally unpredictable and the onset was uncontrollable. i haven't figured out how to make myself lucid dream. i'll just randomly realize i'm dreaming and some part of me takes control of it. it's pretty odd and i wish i could get a better grip of it but i just haven't found time to really figure it all out.
lately though i've been having some wacked out dreams. almost every single night, seems like hours and hours of crazy i'm dreaming about, and the subject changes so often throughout the night. a lot of them will be tied to something that i saw or that happened the previous day (like my bf ate a chili dog, then in my dream i was hanging with my brother and he was eating a chili dog), but other than that they are completely random.
as for the subject of deja vu, a friend once told me that if you experience deja vu quite often, it means your life is balanced and going in the right direction. |

i always think about that and i wonder if we will continue to evolve and pretty soon we'll be able to sit on the couch, look over at the remote control, not want to get up and get it, so we just think really hard and then it flies over to our hand! lol u never know:) |

| my dreams usually get boring so i flip through them like im channel surfing. does that count as lucid dreaming? i dont really control what i do in the dream, its just that i change the situation, setting, people in the dream, etc. |

I do not know what it is like to dream, because I have never been able to remember a dream in my entire life. I'm highly curious about the experience, and so I've attempted numerous psychological and physiological techniques to attempt to be able to recall my dreams, however I have yet to meet even the slightest modicum of success.
As someone who is wholly inexperienced with dreaming at all, it strikes me as unusual that lucid dreaming is considered an abnormal or unusual occurance during the dreaming process. From other people's personal accounts of dreaming, it seems that absurd or impossible events are commonplace within dreams and that their content is often wholly inconsistent with one's waking memories and experiences. I am unsure why being confronted with such unusual events does not immediately suggest to most people that they are dreaming. In the past, when I have asked non-lucid dreamers why it did not occur to them that they were dreaming, they typically could not provide much of an answer beyond that they never considered the possibility. However, this answer is not very satisfying. |
