Lucid Dreaming

[Al]

Lucid dreaming is dreaming while you are fully aware that you're dreaming and can control the dream

I've just done a post (http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20060921/control-your-dreams-with-novadreamer/) about this and would be interested to hear opinions and experiences anyone may have with lucid dreaming.

Ive had a lot of lucid dreams over the years but what really gets me is that i can be in a total sleep state and be aware of whats going on around me but not at that moment... for example and i cant do it on command but if two people are in the room having a conversation i could be asleep and have a dream and recall the dream after waking up and than even be able to repeat a good majority of the conversation of what was said near me while sleeping...

That was all ways weird and interesting to me not as much as lucid dreaming thats just a fun time :)

I think that's just called being nosey :)

If the training course didn't cost so much I'd give it a go, I reckon being able to lucid dream at will would be a cool ability to have. Once I've mastered that maybe levitation could be next :).

Oh it is... trust me its awsome but you dont all ways have absolute controll its weird i can barely think of a way to explain it... but its a hell of a lot of fun.

You can achive lucid dreams without the device, using various techniques described in many books and/or websites. Many people tend to lucid dream just by reading about them,and it is a very awesome experience.

I own this device....however I have sinus issues and I tend to toss and turn a lot, so wearing the device is uncomfortable. I do still use it from time to time, and I think the feature that tells you how many times you had R.E.M.(dreams) is really cool. Personally I've had more lucid dreams without the device then with them.
edit:
I just wanted to mention the best way I found for myself to achive lucid dreams. When I'm sleepy I don't close my eye all the way, I leave them open just enough to look like I'm sleeping. I also found it's easier to lucid dream when I have to wake up to get a drink of water or something....I try to think about a previous dream or just think of dreaming as I doze back to sleep.

I can lucid dream. The best one i ever had was with Russel Crowe.

At the time i didnt realize i liked him. We were in this bedroom together and i realized in the dream, it was a dream. At that point i was very excited because i knew i could do anything. :p I started ripping off my cloths, they went flying all over the room. The rest ill leave out.

At the end of the dream before i woke up i was waiting for him to call me again. :p I still wait. I know he will call, one night :P

If you guys started to watch the new TV series entitled "Heroes", it seems to touch a bit of that topic of lucid dreams... :)

I love this show! Its my second favorite show on tv. Its a nice mix of sci fi and xmen added with a twist of lost. Very good character development happening.

You're welcome. And i stumbled upon this just today (kind of lucid dreaming developing course, but since i only found it a few hours ago, i can't say how effective it is):

Also, while you're on steve pavlina's website, take a look at polyphasic sleep, his webmaster articles and some paranormal stuff .

I've been interested in lucid dreaming for years - read some books, and managed to accomplish it a few times (though they were very short). Good resources though - I'm going to start reading up more on it again...

Hello all,
This is a damn interesting thread. Good work. I never knew there was an actual term for this type of dreamstate.

Does emotion, diet and attitude determine Lucid sleep patterns?

Has anyone ever continued a dream from where it left off the previous night?

That is when dreams become almost, dare I say supernatural!
