Thread: How Did you Find out about Lucid dreaming?

How did you find out about lucid dreaming. For me it was really wierd. What happened was:

I was bored one day at home so i decided to Listen to Some of LiL' Wayne's songs ( like Lollipop, P*ssy money, Weed , Pop Bottles etc. ) and after a while i noticed in his songs he mentions how good it feels to get high. So I thought hmm. Is there i legal way to get high?

So i looked all over the internet trying to find a way to get high (legally) and i ended up on this website called I -Doser. and what Idoser is a software that plays what i think is called Binarul beats or something into your eyes so after 10-50 mins (depending on what feeling you want) you will get the sensation.

So in there store they had different things you could try out. There was Marijuana, Cocaine, LSD, Sexual ones such as Orgasm, and then i went to the sleep ones (im glad i did). and i read something about Lucid Dreaming and how if you listened to it ( you would have to buy it first though) it would give you lucid dreams. SO i thought that was pretty cool so i like totally forgot about my quest to get high (thank god could have lead to an addiction) and searched Lucid Dreaming, then eventually found out what it was and then i was lead to this website...

How did you find out about Lucid dreaming?

For me it was most likely the Star Trek Voyager episode where the crew was being forced to sleep by aliens and Chakotay was able to go into a lucid dream to fight them.

I was at goodwill and I saw Lucid Dreaming by Stehpen Laberge. I took it home, read it, googled Lucid Dreaming, and the rest explains itself.

I think it may actually have been this forum. At least that was probably the first time I'd heard the term lucid dreaming. I was looking up stuff about dreams (had been working on a dream journal), found someone;s blog with a link to here in the relevant post (it;s whoever I credited on the Referred by... option when joining), and have been into lucid dreamign ever since.

At AE forums... thats for the term, tough for the doing, since I was a kid, I liked dreams, so I tought it would be cool to control them and be concious, and therefore, trained myself to do that.

I wanted to know that I was dreaming so bad that I made myself become Lucid. After teaching myself how to do it. I ended up stumbling across Stephen Laberge's book in a store and found out other people where doing it too. and in scientific laboratories of all things.

That's the exact thing that happened to me. I heard Chakotay mention "lucid dreaming" and using the moon as a dream symbol. I Google'd it and found this website. I forget the title of the darned episode though.

I was extremely bored, so I decided to clean out the box of magazines on my coffee table. I found many, many more issues of Reader's Digest than the table should be able to physically support. I started paging through some, looking for the funny sections. In one of them, I passed an article about lucid dreaming.

wondering how 2 contirl my dreams when i googeled dream contirl then found this site

I've had occassional lucid dreams for years and years. Especially back in my dys as an occultist a certain monthly ritual would sometimes lead to a month of vivid lucid dreams. Between a long term interest in the occult, imagination and psychology it didn't even occur to me it was something some people don't know about.

But then, it also didn't occur to me that it was something that could be reliably developed by people who weren't super-advanced enlightened something or others until I came to this forum.

Oh, and as for drugs. There's loads of legal highs. Some altered states are awesome. Don't worry about addiction so much, just use them in moderation and take care of yourself. I seem to remember http://www.erowid.org/ being a good site for information.

That said, I don't take too many so I wouldn't recommend it. Only thing I seem ready for is weed. Its worth remembering that caffeine and alcohol are drugs just the same as any other, and a lot of our food is cut with carcinogenic, addictive additives.

5 years ago I was reading about Lucid Dreaming on some website, but my reality was so much better back then that I didnt really need or want to study or learn more about it like I am now. Then earlier this year I wrote a song and I used the word LUCID in the lyrics. And that then resparked my interest into seriously getting into LDs.

also for the legal high thing, there's some type of flower seeds you can eat and hallucinate off of it, they're actually legal to and a common type of flower, but i forgot which it is.. just make sure you don't get the ones that were treated with poison if you find out which ones they are lol

You're talking about morning glory seeds or hawaiian baby woodrose seeds. Never done them personally but I know they have LSA in them, basically less potent natural form of LSD.

yeah morning glory seeds, that's them ;D

On another forum I go on people were talking about dreams that they've had. Then someone mentioned lucid dreaming. Me being naturally curious thought, "What's that." Someone posted a link explaining what it was and I thought, "That sounds awesome." And then I started trying it.

I had a natural lucid dream which didnt mean much at the time and then the next night I just happened to watch a movie called "When.A.Man.Falls.In.The.Forest.2007" which had a lucid dreaming scene in it.

What a coincidence I thought when it made me think of the weird dream I had the night before. I then hit the net and looked it up.

Life changed a little after that.
