hey thanks for the comments on my story. It's gotten a lot of attention and been published all over countless times. It's even one me an award in school.
But Lucid Dreaming is no doubt the most awesome thing you can do. The real world is sooo boring compared to going to sleep at night and going through all of the limitless possibilities!
You get to customize the girl you screw too!!! lol!:p
here's a great training web site for lucid dreaming

Everybody needs to learn how to do it because you don't know what you're missing. You just need effort and committment. IT can be hard at times but once your practice...you could be good in about a week in a half.
Good luck! |

hmm.. I had once one of these dreams and it was SO cool :D gotta be my best dream ever.
But I never remember my dreams, this one was a big exception, training is welcome :) but... can't it be dangerous? doesn't have long term consequences? |

the answer is simple, yet cannot be explained. basically, whenever a person dreams, its brain acts as if the person was awake. the body, however, is in some sort of parallisis (sp??). that is actually the reason why when we suddenly wake up we cant really move very well. not being able to move your body is simply b/c you dont really want to sleep and move your hands and feet (your brain thinks you do tho)
research has showed that even tho a person can have a very vivid dream, that person's body is well rested. why? they dont really know  |
I think that the body is well rested is because the muscles are not being used. Think about the body as a highway where nerve impulses constantly fire and return to a resting potential after a nerve impulse has fired. If your neurons do not fire (muscles do not move) then your neurons are in a resting potential and can go through active transport where nutrients will replenish the nerves. During the day, you constantly move muscles and fire impulses, do eventually your nerves will get tired and you go to bed. |

i see your point, but when you just lie down without sleeping, your body doesnt get as much rest. it has something to do with being asleep. (if only i had payed more attention in psych).
logically, one might think that good rest is due to the fact that your brain is resting as well, but its not, its fully operational, as well as your nervous system |

yea, but they are all good consequences.. nothing is bad about lucid dreaming unless you think really good stuff is bad. :p

depending on what you consider bad
lucid dreaming can be quite addictive to some ppl
there are ppl out there who are somewhat insecure in real life and being able to lucid dream gives them opportunity to be a superman in their own world
addiction is not always a terrible thing but it can have some unpleasant consequences
in other cases, ppl may have difficult time distinguishing real life from a dream b/c lucid dreams are very vivid and they feel real
im not trying to scare anyone but just be careful when you try it out |

bad consequences would be nightmares that feel like reality and that your actually there. depending on your mind that could be freaky scary
thanks for the info on rest during sleep and REM-sleep being non-restorative |

the other night I kinda had one.. i woke up around 2:00 and peed and then told myself I wanted to be on a beach.. i wake up on a beach and j-lo was swimming out there.. i sat around for a while and was just chillen and it was pretty cool to wake up (for real) and remember that I made it happen. Unfortunately I wasn't in control or totally lucid, but its a start.
cheers,

but the thing about lucidity is that you know that youre dreaming and you can change the nightmare to you killing the monster or facing your worst fear or whatever is scaring you, its not just vivid dreaming, but "consciously" dreaming.
