Thread: Desired dreams

That is what the whole topic of dream control represents.If you can master dream control the you can pretyy much go anywhere and do anything ...so you pretty much make the rules you want in your dream.I hope that answers your question

Don't you need to be a lucid dreamer to do that? There is a difference in controlling in which dream you will enter/want to enter and controlling the happenings in what you already dream... right?
What I meant is, can you control what you will dream without being a lucid dreamer?

I think it would be near impossible to have that kind of control over your dream without being lucid.Have you ever had a lucid dream?

Sometimes I can go to sleep and think "I want a dream about..." and I will end up dreaming non-lucidly about the issue.

I don't normally bother to try. But on the rare occassions that I do my subconscious indulges me every once in a while.

It tends not to if the topic is silly and not something I particularly care about on a deep level. For instance, I can get a dream about a major issue thats facing me at present. But I can't ask my dreams to take me to Mars or to give me awesome dream sex and have it just happen.

Try looking up "Dream incubation". I'm pretty certain googling it will help you as it did for me.

Yeah, if you're really passionate about a subject (say, you want to dream about a scene in your favorite book), you can definitely increase the chances of dreaming about it. Dream incubation, as someone mentioned!

The simplified technique is this: go to bed thinking of what you want to dream about. Be as specific as possible. See the sights, hear the sounds, smell the smells... And with luck, you'll be in that dream later in the night.

You don't need to be a lucid dreamer to do this.

Lots of thanks! Google and forums are the real thing

If you control your dreams in any way you are slightly lucid. While you are dreaming (not lucidly) and you say i wish i was in a cheese world if you get lucky the logic center (frontal lobes) will partial come on (since the brain shuts down all uneeded body functions when you sleep which includes your fronal lobes) and tell the subconsious what to do, so in a way if you control anything at all you become lucid for a few milliseconds.

I would disagree. For example, if you have a false awakening you can have full control of your dream but not know you are dreaming. Therefore you are not lucid nor partially lucid.

There is a tut to VILD, which is basically dream incubation with RCs here:

I have been in the same situation many times.

I have not mastered lucid dreaming (i have yet to have one), so i try to make me dream specific dreams. So far i have yet to succeed in that aswell. But i have found out that if you are very excited about something, or think very much about a thing during the day you will have a chance of dreaming about it in the night.

It happened to me last week when i was thinking much about this girl for reasons of my own. Later that night i had a very clear dream about her, which i still remember much of (which is unusual for me).
I have yet to discover how to do it whenever i want though...

Dream incubation works very well for me, its a good technique.

Just lie in bed 'daydreaming' about the dream you want to be in. Just keep on doing this and you will have a pretty high chance of starting your dream in the place you were daydreaming about.

vividly Visualize what you want to dream about while putting lots of intention into it.
