Thread: My WEIRD Lucid Dream

I couldn’t really explain the reason why but the reason might include the fact you were stoned….

Better control always comes with time and effort, when you first become lucid its good to focus on a single thought

I like the idea of having a Technicolor dream like this, you can control the colour of the lucid dream.

This is NOW on my list of things to do while Lucid

Thank u very much for your feedback

This is similar to a problem I'm having. When I'm in my dream, I'm always very tired, and can barely keep my eyes open. So, naturally, I shut my eyes very hard and open them. Sometimes it works, but then my eyes shut again, because I'm so tired, then I try it again and I'm awake.

If your dreams eyes stay shut, then one approach is use your dream fingers to pull them back open.

Maybe you just a need a big remote to adjust your dream's color.

in response to the first post...

I find that if you rub your hands together, or rub your head really hard in an LD when you feel it going away it usually prolongs it for an amazingly large amount of time longer (although you usually have to continually rub your hands or head)

and the whole color change thing was most likely because you were stoned...

I don't know if this fully relates, but at least it falls into the category "being stoned and experiencing color enhancements/abnormalities in ones intrinsic visual perceptions".

I've noticed that whenever I focus on the hypnagogic imagery while falling asleep, the images are always way more detailed (in both resolution and sense of three dimensions) and surprisingly more defined in color when I'm stoned. The improved detail in resolution and depth are fascinating on their own (think dodgy web-based flash animation vs the latest feature from Pixar Animations), but the color richness seems even more fascinating.

My usual, non-stoned, hypnagogic images are not devoid of color, but as they present themselves to me they seem too abstract to focus on the actual visual quality and instead offer a more general emotional understanding of the scenery. Though, when stoned the sceneries' visual nature becomes so detailed as to make emotinal and abstract understanding of them superfluous, they're just there for me to watch and play around with! I've also noticed that I easily can shift colors by mental effort.

Maybe this could be a useful tool in mapping the relationship between neural activity and the perception of colors? Time to re-introduce psychadelics to the world of neurological research?

Once I was curious to see what the world would look like tinted, so I went into a lucid dream and turned everything purple. It was incredibly disappointing. I don't know what I was expecting but it was not a cool thing to do.
