Just had my 5th Lucid Dream... Sex included

[Swaggin916]

Did my first proper WBTB (Wake, back to bed) and had a Lucid on the first try. I set my alarm for 6 hours after I fell asleep, woke up, took a piss, went on the computer for about 30 mins on a Lucid Dreaming forum, then fell back asleep after about 20 mins of focusing on my senses (cycle focusing on sight, sound, feeling, breathing, 30 seconds each) I slipped into the Lucid quickly after losing consciousness and was in a bed with my roommate on the floor doing crunches. I got out of bed, did a couple reality checks, then felt the dream start to slip so at that point I knew it was a dream... I just regained focus,. left my roommate in the dark room to do his exercises, then created a girl to have sex with. I stripped off her clothes and was about to just stick it in, but then thought that she should be wet first... no sooner than I thought that did a bunch of warm wet juice come out of her vag all over my dick. I decided I wanted to make out with her and see what that felt like (since everything in a Lucid feels real) and boy was it nice. I made the rookie mistake of closing my eyes though during the kiss, go too wrapped up in it, lost concentration, and then woke up. So far, if I'm not in total focus mode, I will either get lost back in the dream or just wake up. It's all about maintaining that focus and concentration.

Highly recommend Lucid dreaming gents. I'd rather do other things in Lucid dreams but the ***** is a powerful beast and it gets what it wants in one way or another. For me it feels like it's saying "hey buddy if you aren't going to get laid in reality then that's all you are going to be doing in the dreamworld lol... I got needs."

I tried doing that shit and all that ever happens is sleep paralysis smh

Yea that happened to me right before I lost consciousness. I couldn't feel my legs. When I woke out of the lucid dream my whole body was numb too. I can snap out of it though... I just experienced it for a little bit though because I've never had it before and it was kind of neat to me.

[gigantes]

the other night i had a new very type of dream for me.

the scenerio was a james bond-type film in which i was the suited gent trying to foil the plans of a crazed evil genius. the final scene involved jumping in to a cockpit and defusing a bomb just in time.

except, i failed. resulting in a massive fireball and a beautiful high-tech factory being destroyed.

but that's where it got really interesting, because i was allowed to run the whole movie back and play one of the double-crossing lieutenants to the evil genius instead of the bond character. actually that attempt failed too. no problem. i just hit rewind and tried again. and again.

later on i was somehow playing the evil genius himself trying to sabotage his plans... just to see if it could work.

i never did figure out the right path to choose, but it was pretty fun trying!

[ZeN]

Amateurish.. Post when you've had a 100 year dream in a single night. Thats WILD type dreaming there.

[Swaggin916]

@Giga... Sounds like a pulp fiction type multiple viewpoints type scenario. Quite interesting...

@Zen well yes 5 lucid dreams would indicate amateur... But when you say WILD are you referencing the anagram "wake induced lucid dream"? Or just emphasizing the word wild? You are talking about bein in some sort of limbo state there I don't think the mind could operate in a lucid state for 100 years (even dream years) it takes constant focus and energy. I will have to read up on thy though.

I refer to wake induced LDs. Also, 100 year dreams are possible.. No limbo required, it's just an edited narrative ala film storytelling.

[SugarHill]

wtf are you taking about, zen :coleman:

[ZeN]

wtf are you taking about, zen :coleman:
Ask a specific question and I can give a specific answer.

As for long dreams.. just as you can live a whole day in a dream, it is possible to live a lifetime in one. All it takes is becoming accustomed to living in the now inside of you dreams. Being Zen allows for fluid awareness that lets you create an elastic dream time that is beyond what is considered normal. It takes prevalent practice but it is a plausible possibility.

[ZeN]

Then this should be easy because we are all Zen.
We are indeed all the Isness, therefor all are Zen.

[SugarHill]

Zen, are you one of those dudes who thinks he can meet other lucid dreamers in their dream?

[ZeN]

Zen, are you one of those dudes who thinks he can meet other lucid dreamers in their dream?
I cant say that I know the answer to everything. So I cant say that it isnt possible. However, I can strongly say that I dont believe that Ive ever shared a dream with anyone. Im very selfish when it comes to my consciousness so even if I could, I would prefer not to. lol

[Richesly]

I remember when I astral projected by accident.

It was cool, I laid down on my side for like 40 seconds with my eyes close and the TV on, then had this sensation that I can't describe all over my body. I was really scared. I THOUGHT i was turning in my bed but I think I was just dreaming. Then I sat up and my room was a ****ing dark forest man and my TV turned into a black tree. Then I sat back down on my back and everything was back to normal. So weird.

[joe]

Forcing anything to happen in a lucid dream is usually going to wake you up. You are using a lot of mental energy to create that girl. Mental energy is not a scientific word, but it is an apt description. The more you exert your will to make specific things happen, the more likely that you will wake up. It is definitely recommended to just go with the flow, but I know that the drive for sex OR flying is hard to resist. In that order.

WILD is hard to do, I am jealous of you. I have had some crazy experiences trying to wild, but I have only become lucid one time with that technique.

For me it takes an extreme amount of effort to make lucid dreaming a possibility. I am jealous of those who have it happen to them on occasion without any effort. One day I will try again but for now I am not ready for the daily dream journals, the reality checks, etc.

Ahh ok... Yea that's plausible. I think it's less likely that someone who meditates all the time and for long periods of time not to experience WILD's of that magnitude lol.

Do you do the WBTB technique? You shouldn't even have to keep a dream journal just or do anything else. If you have already done that stuff in the past and had lucid dreams before, you know what to look for and what to do if you find yourself potentially lucid... You might want to try that on a day where you don't have to wake up for anything and see if it works. I mean call it beginners luck but it worked first time for me and the science behind it is solid... enter right back into REM sleep from a fully conscious state. It's about as aware as you can be without being conscious.

Yeah I have tried it. I usually have a lot of trouble falling back to sleep, and I very rarely become lucid from it. I have never tried your method of focusing on the senses. Never heard of that before, but it might be worth trying.

Even when I was keeping a thorough dream journal, it still took me weeks to have one lucid dream. Since then, I have had about 7-10, some of them extremely lucid and others only partially.

The first thing I always look to do is fly. Not sure why. I have flown like 4 or 5 times, and it is just amazing. On one occasion, I was dreaming I was in my room and it was dark and gloomy. Suddenly I realized that I was dreaming, and became lucid. I immediately jumped out of my window and began flying, and the entire world was extremely bright and colorful, like a Mario game. It was amazing. I just remember flying over the landscape and looking down at everything.

That sounds terrifying. What if you weren't dreaming? :coleman:

[Budadiiii]

Because you can clearly tell when you're awake?

No one is gonna get up and jump out of a window when they're actually awake unless they're batshit insane and on drugs.

Not really at all. I've woken up and went about my business and then actually woke up at which point I realized I was dreaming within a dream in a sense. The dream was indistinguishable from reality. You've never felt this? People say his happened to them on a few occasions.

[joe]

It is just obvious once you become lucid that you are dreaming, because you gain access to your mental understanding of how the world really works. And you know that your 5th grade teacher would not be standing in your room, and that your dog cannot talk, etc. It is just split second. Whoa... I am dreaming.

The first time I became lucid, it was because the Yankees team bus was on the side of the street, and had hit a fire hydrant. It was like, wtf, why would the Yankees be in my town? Once I realized I was dreaming, I immediately tried to find a girl to have sex with like the OP. lol. I tried to force one to appear with my mind and it worked, but I woke up immediately as she appeared. When you really try to force things in a dream it wakes you up.

Its possible to be in a dream that feels like reality but its impossible to be in reality and have it feel like a dream.

What you explained is just a false awakening. You think you're awake but you're still dreaming. It happens to almost everyone.

But when you're actually awake, you always know it. There will never be a time when you think reality is a dream and you decide to jump out of a window.

I don't think I've ever truly had a lucid dream in the sense you're talking about except for one time but I had no control. I was just very aware that it was a dream of which I could not escape. It was creepy. Any other time when I realize it's a dream, I always wake up as I attempt to navigate with this realization.

Actually, the dream where I jumped out of my window had this same scenario. I had several false awakenings, and that was what really tipped me off that I was dreaming. A lot of people have false awakenings in their dreams. That is why you keep a dream journal at first- to find the common occurrences in your own dreams. Then, you do reality checks during waking life that correspond to your dream signs. For instance, if you tend to have a lot of false awakenings, you will do a reality check every time that you are laying in your bed. 99% of the time, you will do a reality check to find that you are wide awake, not in a dream, simply laying on your bed. But then, that one crazy time, it hits you that you are actually dreaming. And that is when you jump out of your window and fly.

What you have had are lucid dreams, but with just a very small amount of lucidity. I have had those as well, and I still have them every now and then. They are interesting, but they do not hold a candle to higher lucidity. You can literally dream and know every single thing that you know in waking life. You know your name, you know that you are actually in your bed, you know what you did yesterday, what you are planning to do today. And for now, you know that you are in the dream world, that there are no consequences, no risks, no reason to not do anything that you want at any time. It is mind blowing.

there are risks and consequences lol.

The dream world is a vast place. I think even if you believe you are in a lucid 'pocket' (that is, where you can create things), you are still governed by a larger dream world.

I have full consciousness in nearly all of my dreams. However, when I actually get good sleep, I tend to have 'normal dreams.' If I take sleep aids, I have normal dreams.

I dunno how many people have a full thought train in their dreams, either. To me a lucid dream isn't FIND A GIRL TO HAVE SEX WITH (altho I think when you are a kid you probably want to see what's up, then you can end up in DREAM HELL. haha), but it's more of being able to fully explore the world. So, I mean... to me it's not like someone dropped you in the middle of GTA and you're just like ****YEAH... but it's more like being alive.

But no trolling I do not think it's smart to test the limits while you are in a lucid dream. You could end up seeing something you don't wanna see (something in your subconscious) or just generally **** with your mental state.

The only dream-shit I was never able to do... except a few times, was re-enter dreams the next night. And again, high occurrence of nightmares for trying. My subconscious must be a really scary place. Seems like every time I take a wrong turn I am getting night terrors. And yea, as an adult, too.

If you put half as much effort that you do dreaming into actually perusing girls you would be in much better shape.

What you do in the lucid doesn't define "lucid", that just refers to your state of awareness. For me, I had one fully conscious goal - it was just driven by hormones and pleasure seeking... sex. If I woke up and had sex during my wake back to bed... that wouldn't have happened because I just had sex and wouldn't have look for it while Lucid. Who knows what I would have done... probably flew or something. Surely my goals will change as I continue to have fully Lucid dreams and become more experienced in how to keep that state. I definitely want to explore that state of awareness though and creativity at length... test the limits.

[sundizz]

:biggums: you needed the internezz to know this. Some people just have lost touch with reality (and their own bodies).

I thought it was common sense/knowledge that if you wake up, do wtv for a little bit, and go back to sleep you are going to have some serious dreams in that "second" sleep.

Generally, I get to bed around 3 and wake up about 7 am. Since, I'm just studying and don't need to wake up for work I just get up, hit the urinals, get some water, make sure my fantasy team is setup, check my email and then settle back in for sleep until about 10. Always get some real solid intense dreams in that period.

Some really trippy dudes on ISH!! :applause: I always find these discussions very interesting to read. I have no idea where to start. I mean I have no desire to coaching myself to a lucid dream (not yet) but I I think I'll try find a good introduction and beginner's guide to everything. It's just so fascinating but at the same time lots of the things you guys mention is quite overwhelming and confusing. I need to start reading more in my spare time anyways and this topic is the only thing that might steer me away from my music.

Yeah there is a lot to it. There are a lot of methods, but here are the basic beginner steps I have learned over the years:

1) Keep a dream journal. Every day, write down your dreams from the previous night. It can be on a computer notepad, or with a paper and pen. Just write down anything you remember, even if it is fuzzy.

2) After a few weeks (or longer) of doing this, go back and read your journal. Look for any common threads that occur in your dreams. Are you often with a certain person in your dreams? Are you often in a certain place? Do you often have false awakenings? Whatever your common thread is, that is considered to be your dream sign.

3) Next, you start to do reality checks. Basically, this is you actually considering whether or not you are dreaming. You have to stop whatever you are doing, and truly ask yourself... am I dreaming right now? Then, you actually do things that will usually work in reality, but will not work in dreams.

For example, looking at a clock. If you look at a clock in real life, then glance back 5 seconds later, the time will remain the same (duh). But in a dream, the time of a clock will almost always be different when you look a second time. The same goes for reading, like say a magazine article. The words will be different on a second look.

So the basic theory is, you do these checks in real life, several times a day- and EVENTUALLY- you will do one of them in your dream. Generally, you want your reality checks to correspond with your dream signs. If you always have dreams where you are at work, then do reality checks every day when you get to work. That way, the idea of seeing your job becomes directly connected with doing reality checks.

So one day, you will be dreaming. And your dream brain will say oh, I am at work, lets do one of those reality checks. You will find a clock, look at it, then look back- fully certain the time will remain exactly the same. But then.... it changes. And something sparks inside of you and you realize, holy crap, this is a dream.

Other reality checks include looking at your hands. For some reason, your hands tend to look weird in dreams. This is how I first became lucid. I was doing a reality check, I looked at my hands, and they looked huge and swollen. It was pretty shocking.

A little bit of advanced tips:

Once you become lucid, you tend to get really excited, which will wake you up. So, there are a series of stabilizing methods which keep you grounded in the dream. The first is to touch something, like the floor or a desk. The next is to keep calm, and not try to do anything too CRAZY. Do not go and start punching everyone and jumping around on your desk. This will overload you with excitement and likely wake you up.

Dreams have a tendency to suddenly go blurry, and when this happens, you are at risk of losing your lucidity or waking up. To stop this from happening, shut your eyes and spin in a circle. For some reason, this freshens the entire dream. Honestly, it makes things go from being blurry to being in HD. I have no idea why this works, but it does. And it very often can change the entire setting of your dream.

A VERY important tip to help you remember your dreams:

Most people have trouble remembering their dreams. But here is the most important, tangible thing you can do to help you remember your dreams: Do not move when you wake up. The second you start rolling around your bed, picking up your phone, lighting a cigarette, your dreams are going bye bye. When you wake up, lay in bed and just keep your eyes closed. Do not roll over to your other shoulder. Do not readjust the blanket, even. Just stay completely still and think about your dreams. I still do this to this day, and it is very important when you are trying to remember your dreams.

Finally, simply placing importance on remembering dreams will help you to remember them. Your brain is very keen on your intentions. If you are mentally placing emphasis on your dreams, your brain will return the favor and make them a little more vivid for you. Just by wanting to remember your dreams, you will be a little more likely to remember them.

That is the beginner tips that I have picked up over the years. There is a lot more out there of course, but these have worked for me and many other people. Things like the WILD technique discussed in the OP are also interesting. Anyway, it definitely is a lot of Coaching as you put it, but if you ever become determined to go for it, I dont think you will be disappointed. Those first few lucid dreams are just experiences. It takes effort, no doubt about it. But in the end, it is definitely worth the effort.

i'm a frequent lucid dreamer and one thing i can tell you is that you get frequent sleep paralysis as a side effect. it's all fine and dandy when your sleep paralysis isn't accompanied by hallucinations. but when it does, damn!

one thing i do before i go to sleep is condition my mind and tell it what i want to dream about. then i tell my mind that i want to either: wake up and remember my dream or wake up in the dream itself.

i don't really know how i break out of the dream and realize i'm in a dream. i just realize i'm in a dream without knowing how. but once i do, i tell myself immediately to not get too excited, and hover between that line of wakefulness and sleepiness. once i successfully travel that line and do not get pulled totally awake, then i'm successfully lucid dreaming.

i can't control what others do in my dream; i can't change my surroundings, environment, event, dream, or situation. but what i can do is totally control myself. if i want to kiss someone, i can. if i want to walk somewhere, i can.

i've had 100 year dreams, but they weren't lucid. it was truly a mind blowing experience getting to live through a dream that lasts several lifetimes. when i woke up, my heart was pounding and i could still remember all those lives i lived in the dream. the memories stayed with me for like a minute before slowly disappearing one by one.

one thing i caution you though is to not try WILD alone. you don't want to get trapped in a halfway state (sleep paralysis) and experience the scary hallucinations. you want someone to nudge you awake so you can break out of the sleep paralysis. (although you generally break out of the sleep paralysis, staying in it for minutes can be absolutely terrifying, esp. if the hallucinations are really scary)

The thing with Lucid dreaming is that it's just one of those really cool things that can only add something to your life. It helps to get really into it but it's not necessary. It's not something that takes constant practice once you have developed a certain amount of awareness. If the only thing you can commit to at first is thinking about becoming lucid as you go to sleep, eventually you will have a lucid dream just because of that. Once you do, you will probably be hooked and really want to read into it if you haven't already. There is nothing else like it.

[gigantes]

i actually did just have my 1st lucid dream the other night. maybe i owe you a royalty, swaggin.


i didn't have complete control over everything but did realise that i was in a dream. mainly that came from recognising the oddness of the situation. i didn't try to run around looking for girls to pork, but i was able to exert some control and ignore a lot of stuff that would have stopped me ordinarily.


TBH i wasn't all that impressed with the event. it didn't seem like a revelation or something all that important to pursue. maybe because i'm a pretty open-ended, crazy thinker as it is. what's ordinary to me tends to be weird and bizarre to most folks.

Its because the simple act of becoming lucid is only the beginning. It take time and effort to become skilled enough at dream control, to produce memorable experiences that are uniquely revelatory.
