Thread: - Want Extremely Intense Dream -

You can try to eat cheese or drink apple juice before bed. Those types of food increases dream vividness.

you want the big cheese? who doesn't

asking to have an awesome vivid dream, is asking you to be very aware while dreaming. because it can't be vivid, if you aren't aware enough to notice the exquisite details. so awareness is the key here. normal lucidity doesn't even compare. let's put it this way - if your dream does reach that vivid life like, 3d feeling - it can feel so real you can question your own sanity. "am I dreaming or am I just crazy to think I am dreaming?"

according to dream yogis, there are two major things you need to know.

1. how aware you are in a dream relates to how aware you are in life. if you want lucid dreams, start treating daily life like a lucid dream. in lucid dreams we admire all the details. in normal life, we don't even pay attention to lifes details. bring some of this dream attention, of observing the world into daily life. this will affect your dreaming experience as a whole and over time. which is more beneficial than any quick technique.

2. our first dreams deal with the day, troubling thoughts and emotions. in essence, our first foggy dreams we are reliving unresolved thoughts and emotions. when you go to sleep at night, remember the day, and then let it go. if something is on your mind, observe it, then let it go. no amount of stressing over something as you sleep will solve it. but most people do stress over something many times as they fall asleep.

the more clear your psyche is, the more free space is in your head when you sleep. this helps create fantastical vivid dreams that promote lucidity. the most common cause for cluttering our psyche, STRESS. if you are stressed, your dreams WILL NOT be vivid or lucid. this can happen to any avid lucid dreamer, and it can last for months or a year or more depending on how well they deal with their own stress.

so make sure you are sleeping soundlessly and stress free! or no super vivid dream for you. look up tibetan dream yogi if you want more details.

*************************

you can try to transform a normal semi-foggy-or-surreal dream into something other wordly. you can do this by increasing your own lucidity while you dream.

summon a door. what's on the other side? your bed. the 'bed' in our dream world is a magical thing. it tends to create a new whole new dream world. which is why we have false awakenings. summon a door, and think to yourself your bed is on the other side. if you do this successfully, you won't walk through a door into your bedroom.

rather as you open the door, you will simply find yourself in your bed - where your dream probably began *though we don't remember*. the act of restarting a dream in a dream tends to make the dream more real feeling. thats why as we start to have FA's, it can get increasingly confusing!

another way to restart a dream in a dream, is to attempt a WILD in a dream. others have said this has an awesome impact on your dream and will increase your lucidity. you might have to first get to your 'bed' though.

not everyone has physical dream barriers. I do! they are a pain. my dream barriers manifest as giant walls that I can neither fly over, because it's actually a dome like structure. there are no doors or windows, or the doors and windows are very hard to find. the actual wall itself feels so solid ghosting through it is hard.

in one dream though, I managed to get through this barrier. the barrier itself was so thick, it felt like I could get stuck!! It was grainy, and several inches thick. But once I through on the other side the dream was twice as vivid and I was twice as lucid. I encountered another dream barrier wall - I ghost through it. And again the dream was even more vivid. This time, I found no more walls in my dream, and the dream was so real - I questioned if I was in another world!

I don't know if you have any 'dream walls'. But if you do, overcoming them will make your dream more vivid.

Wow!! Thank you SOO much. ACtually noting your WILD in dreams technique that happened to me unintently, and I instantly because lucid in the dream, and it was VERY vivid. So thank you I will try this technique in my next LD.

Thank you so much for the tips. Wish me luck!

thanks,

100 - 200 mg of B6 really help with vividness and dream recall. I wouldn't recommend taking it EVERY night though.

Punctuation next time please.

You can't get stuck in a lucid dream, or any dream for that matter(at least as far as we know). You will wake up like always, or maybe die if you are old/sick/both.

How touching.

Eh, just pointing out the possibility.

Point is, you WILL wake up eventually. If someone is stuck in a dream, how would we know?

I have been stuck in a dream when I was about 7 or 8 years old. It was a full moon in my dream, and I was on the street of my old house. There was a man with a stall selling things (there wasn't actually a stall there in real life). He told me that if I wanted to wake up I would have to light a match. I didn't believe him and forced myself to wake up, only when I woke up I could look around my room but I couldn't move and everything was veiled in a peach coloured tone. I got sucked back into the dream. The moon was still shining brightly and I walked around looking for a match. I found a lighter but when I lit it, I had the same affect of waking up unable to move but able to look around with the same peach coloured veil, only to be sucked back in. It took a while of wandering before I finally found a matchbook in a sewer drain. Sure enough, when I lit it I woke up to a normal coloured bedroom able to get up from my bed. I have never forgotten this experience.

As far as being more aware and able to recall your dreams, I have always been able to remember the very vivid dreams. I don't know how or why I have them, so to be able to help someone else remember their dreams is not easy. Though, I can imagine that wanting it is the first step. Slowly you should be able to remember bits and pieces. One thing I find is that even the most vivid dream can disappear if I don't lay there with my eyes closed recalling all the details. Sometimes, days later I'll remember more details. I don't write down the dreams, though after joining this site I think I'll start. Maybe it will help to intensify them and add even more details.

Good luck!

Be careful what you wish for. Had the longest dream of my life this week and it was not fun. The feeling of being trapped is intense.

You've risen the dead. . .
What is this dark, black magic?!
Are you a wizard?

How long was it, subjectively speaking?

In real life I was asleep for about twenty minutes. I fell asleep when my mom got in the shower and woke up when she came out of the bathroom. The dream felt like it was around two months long.
