Thread: half-dreaming while bieing awake

Hmmm well this is pritty similar to what i can do, i am also a musician, well an amateur one. play guitar, bass etc. anyway.. if i lay in bed and consentrate on people talking (usually friends) it slowly goes its own way, so im not thinking about them saying it, there saying it them selves (my mind randomly produces what they say) and eventually after like 30 seconds can get them to shout, sounds so real!

im thinking this is the same princible but ur thinking of music, im thinking of voices. but i havnt asked around to see if anyone else can do it.

but im going to try it with music now. probably harder than voices becuase its usually just random words n short sentences. with music there is all the timing. try it with the voices and i bet u can control it very easily

I don't think its anything supernatural, or rather any reason to post it in the beyond dreaming

WILDing or even intense day dreaming takes some level of attention. but if you can have that attention you can day dream, and it is very visual and there are sounds, and its real feeling. but at the same time, you can still have the sensation of being in your chair, or in your bed. its like being in two places at once sometimes.

I SUCK at doing this, my attention is crud. but the few times I have managed to do it, it was amazing. definitely its a good thing to have this day dreaming attention if you want to WILD. you can just...decide to dream now and forget about your body on the bed. and poof, its a dream! like magic.

i'll try this with voices tonight.

could you please tell a bit more about day dreaming? or just post a link to another threat about this if ther is one. thank you.


i put this in "beyond dreaming" because i had no other idea where to put it. it's kinda connected to dreaming but is somthing more... or less.. not really sure.
anyway, if any moderator has a better idea where to put this, please move it. thank you.

Yea I know what you mean, happens to me alot.

Also sometimes I'd be like woah, was I just dreaming?

thats interesting...maybe that's what i do, idk..i write poetry and when I start to go to sleep i just think about random things, and then a poem just automatically puts itself together and i am not sleepy anymore and i write it down

This happens to me almost every time I drift off to sleep. I'll be having these mini-dreams, but also be half-awake... my mind will just start making up these weird/random scenarios, and then I'll wake up and realize I was dreaming, but that I wasn't fully asleep... I'm not lucid during these, though. It's weird.

the other day i was reading about WILD and i was really up for it then i changed my mind at the ast minite and i went for normal MILD and i ended up doing my reality checks in my dream e.g. pinching my nose trying to breath, but i cudnt breath, then i realised i was controling my dream body and physial body at same time, (i went into a normal dream in like 5 mins then had a normal lucid dream)

theyre called audio hallucinations, they happen while half asleep

Yeah, those are audio hallucinations. If you want to know, I also have heard a few songs myself when falling asleep, or waking up. One was an extremely creepy song. It spooked me out. It was like someone whispering in my hear in another language. It was sooo scary.
