Oddly enough I did have a dream about you yourself last night. It was short dream but it was fairly vivid. From what I can rememer of it, in the dream I voluntarily - or was invited by you - to come to your home-laboratory. Once I got arrived at your home-laboratory - you showed me this device you had invented/engineered from scrap devices and you had it installed in a small room. You persuaded me to try this device which I did and I was told that it was 'something to help me dream.' (?) And that's all I can remember of it. Would you classify this as a lucid dream? Oh and by the way, I did attempt the video short you did weeks ago with 'Steve'. I watched it about seven or eight times in one evening but it didn't work at all,but perhaps I should stuck with it...

i found 2 dream signs.. childhood place and people i know.. but how do i use these dream signs to help me lucid dream? if you say reality check when you stumble upond these signs well i am always in my childhood home ans seeing my childhood characters ( family )

[@Vopraan]

Journal them down. Anytime you have a dream with things out of the ordinary, like a friend, leave a journal by your bed side, so you can quickly wake up and journal your experience with that friend. Make it a full, vivid story. Anything you forget once awake, just cover the experience with one that's made up.

[@dreamer..098]

Guys don't give up. After 3 years of consistent practice I am now able to frequently lucid dream . And keep watching our beloved Lucid dreaming guide

[@fishskilletvillet]

What techniques do you use?

[@dreamer..098]

​@@fishskilletvillet no techniques. But I do wake bed to bed. Which is not very necessary too. It's not about lucid dream. It's about lucid mind. Techniques are just tools but the thing you need is a lucid mind. Which questions reality frequently. So stick to the basics. Keep doing your reality checks. Think critically during day time. And keep you dream journal updated. And you are good to go

How to practice lucid dreams. even if you are incredibly busy. I have this problem a lot 😢

[@elliotp2486]

Try association techniques and see if that works. For instance, every time you have to do a certain task like picking up a pen or opening your computer, take a short moment to breath and think about lucid dreaming. If you're busy, then hopefully 5 or 10 seconds every now and then should be enough to help you practice lucid dreaming, but not enough to take away from the busyness of your life. Think of it as practicing a skill very slowly. It takes longer to have a noticeable affect, but it still grows if you're being intentional about it.

[@god_of_creativity]

I've had a Lucid Dream within a dream, where I could control the dream and also think like I was awake, but when I attempted to wake up, this resulted in entering an actual dream from a point where I 'wake up' where sometimes I will also be Lucid. Then I'd wake up within 5-8 minutes in that 'secondary' dream. How common are 'double dreams', and is there any type of evidence or explanation as to how they come about? I'm curious as to if these events are related to some unusual thing I do in my day-to-day that somehow causes double-dreams.

[@elliotp2486]

What are the ideal sleeping conditions for lucid dreaming? Last night I became lucid 3 times with false awakenings and when I actually woke up my feet were slightly off my bed, which felt like what was causing the false awakenings.

[@Navii-05]

In a livestream, you claimed that going to bed after midnight harms dream recall and lucid dreams. Does it make a difference that I go to bed after midnight but I get more than 8 hours of sleep?

[@StumpedSlicken]

I recently had a false lucid and the way I was able to conclude that it was a false lucid was from doubt being present when I was remembering it!

[@Bannapickleonion]

I feel like using your senses to the max really confirms if you’ve lucid dreamed or not Taste and hearing really what indicates to me if I was lucid or not in a dream so when I immediately become lucid i always lick the walls and remember any specific sound and when I wake up I can recall the taste and sounds indicating that I was lucid

Hello Daniel ! I feel like I must do the WBTB + MILD technique to have lucid dreams, but I would prefer not to wake up during the night. Do you think that meditating right before sleep, incubating the act of becomming lucid, could be efficient ? Im trying tonight

How do I stay asleep after discovering I'm dreaming?

[@barkni1913]

I have 3 modes while sleeping. No dream, partial lucidity or a nightmare that will make me afraid to close my eyes for the next couple days lol.

[@MrDblStop]

I had only my second lucid dream just this week. I was outside on a street, everything was very clear and detailed but the light was dimmer. I thought, 'hey this is a dream. I wonder if what people say about not being able to see the screen of your phone is true.' I checked my phone and could see vague blobs for apps but no more. 'That checks out then. And, I should be able to fly.' I lifted off the ground by thinking about it but then went feet first. This happened three times, each time I tried to fly forwards I ended up going feet first and not as high off the ground as I wanted. Any thoughts about this? Thanks.

[@vic_2292]

Why could i control everything easily in my first lucid dream but not in my second lucid dream?

[@sublimingmule6356]

I have been aware of being in a dream state, without being able to control anything. Wasnt a nightmare or anything, in fact i dont remember the events of the dream anymore. I just remember being aware, but only along for the ride. Is that partial lucidity then?

[@cjawesomeness845]

My dream scape when I remember being partially lucid was like the sky was too blue and the grass seemed like turf plastic grass and the sun was hot but artificial feeling No clouds. I was hanging outside of my window with my legs swinging and i remember seeing the highway from there but all the trees were gone. It was my house but not my area. Very weird I noticed it was a dream when I tried to get down and felt no falling sensation so I woke up

[@christiangraulau8107]

Sense of touch personally helps me stay in more since my vision often is less reliable. But in general, the more experience you get, the earlier in the REM cycle you’ll become lucid, which will lengthen the dreams

[@veikko-johnnyollikainen3799]

@@christiangraulau8107 thanks

[@bernardkung7306]

The weird thing is that you can dream that you're lucid, without actually being lucid -- it's only after you wake up and recall the dream, that you recognize "oh wait, that wasn't actually lucid/I wasn't actually lucid at all." This can be confusing, but once you've had a reasonably lucid dream, the difference is unmistakable. (And afterwards, if that happens again, you might get aggravated when you somehow dream _about_ being lucid without actually _becoming_ lucid.)

[@JrNaZaH]

Is loud ear banging sounds at the start of a wild normal?

[@goodoldwarthunder]

I think I had a partial lucid dream because I got into the dream and tried a few things that I had been wanting to practice like flying etc. Then I got chased by someone and I thought it was real and I was still on the dream but I thought I had woken up and I was telling my brother I had a lucid dream

[@DanielLoveOrg]

Only if you entirely misunderstood lucid dreaming and suffered from a prexisting mental health issue. A lucid dreamer is less likely to mistake reality for a dream than the average person. It's a prerequisite for lucidity

[@Muhammed.E23]

@@DanielLoveOrg well i am suffering from mental health, and as i tried reality checking, i sometimes felt like being in a dream while i was in real life, so that means i should not try to reality check?

[@elliotp2486]

@@Muhammed.E23 From my experience, the best way to fight against this is with logic. Record your dreams and try to figure out what the difference is between your dreams and waking life. For instance, I found out in my dreams that whenever I'm running from something or going fast, my brain fills in the gaps or changes things in the dream. In real life, however, things do not change when I am running. Try looking for license plates and remembering their characters, divert your attention to something else, and then look for the same license plate and see if it remains the same.

@@elliotp2486 i just like to do WILD, to avoid any of risk. Im currently working on it but i am struggling getting to SP. It somehow takes so long, and then im ending up falling asleep. :^(

[@daryl4d]

If you are suffering from mental health issues never jump off a building to reality test. If flying is your thing, just try to levitate from a standing position… if you end up levitating, then you know you’re dreaming, will become lucid and then you can fly off to wherever you want without any issues of harming yourself. This works really well for me, although most of my lucid dreams originate as WILDs. Also, you don’t need SP to enter a dream if it’s WILD… I never enter SP, I just consciously enter the dream from hypnogogia. Hope this helps.
