      How good is it possible to get?

      Hello,

      This question is not your average question but I thought it was interesting so I decided to post it.
      I've heard brief mentions of people who can almost have a lucid dream on demand at any time (I don't know if this is true, I heard it somewhere around here once) and I was wondering how good at Lucid Dreaming one can get?
      Also how good can ones recall get on a related note?

      One can WILD every night if they're really good at it, if they've got the technique down very well. As for DILDs, they're trickier because they are randomized - you don't really know when your next one is going to be.

      The best recall I've had was six dreams in a night, but it fluctuates.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      With the right level of discipline towards achieving the goal of lucidity on command, one can do it. If you are that determined to get it done, what exactly is stopping you? There's no limit other than one you impose upon yourself.

      Surely any answer you get here will still fall short of the truth.

      I believe you can lucid every night if you have the right skills and dedication to do so. Every person is different, but I think its very possible to have them every night if you wanted them too. Me personally, I have had never two lucid dreams one after the other, let alone the same month. I know if I try hard enough though I can make it happen more often, it just depends on you. I believe you can do it, have faith in yourself. Follow the techniques and do whatever you think you need to do. I support you 100%

      I am positive you can do it.

      Lucid dreaming takes three things: Patience, practice, and perseverance.

      I think he refers to the fact that dreams are different for everyone, so even if people can/can't do it, it will still not be truth for you. Or thats what I would say anyway <.<

      If you're Stephen LaBerge you can LD every night, more or less.

      Realistically, however, your average dreamer won't be able to have a LD every night. While I think it's possible to have a WILD every night, I don't see that happening...just seems like a bit of a stretch.

      You can elevate your awareness to such a level that you never lose consciousness. You can be aware throughout all stages of sleeping and dreaming, every night, every day, every minute. This is not really a practical or desirable goal for most people. Still, it is good to know you can take it as far as you want.

      Every dream can be a lucid dream if you want it to be.

      I think once u master your technique the technique its self is not even needed. You can transfer your waking consciousness to the astral dream scape at will when u get to that point imho. I've noticed that the majority of my ld's did not require a form of reality checks its just a light bulb goes off and i remember where my physical body iz.

      Thank you, this was the kind of answer I was looking for, I was wondering what the kind of very high level stuff would be.

      If you are wondering about what is possible in a lucid dream in very advanced levels then you are going to get too many different answers. But in general some things I've read are... Shape shifting, meeting your anima/animus, solving seemingly impossible questions/equations in real life, evolving and growing in a dream (you, DC's, companions/animal followers), learning new things from dream teachers, creating accurate replicas of movie scenes/shows, going to the same dream scene every time and building new things inside it which will be there next time you dream (Dream headquarters/homes), traveling to different solar systems and unknown places.

      Since they are dreams there really aren't any possibilities you can rule out, this is without even starting to mention things you can do while you are 'beyond dreaming'

      And I believe people can have close to 100% recall, but of course not even in real life are you paying 100% attention even if you use ADA

      I meant the skills it was possible to have regarding the outside of dreams:

      i.e. "Go into a lucid via WILD in the middle of the day in five minutes" is an incredible outside skill.

      While "visualize a movie scene" is just fancy dream control.

      (I'm operating under the assumption that you can visualize pretty much anything if you work enough at it).

      I know someone who can fall asleep totally consciously and stay aware during non-REM periods, just listening to their breathing and keeping their eyes closed. It's really wierd.

      You can remember upwards of 40 dreams a night, though most people believe you only have 10 dreams a night. With half a year of constant practice, you can fall asleep lucid and stay lucid through the entire night.

      I think that might fall into the "You can, but why would you want to?" category of abilities .

      I agree with you! Then again, he practically meditates for a living, so...

      Any answer that someone were to give on here would necessarily have to be based on experience, but to say that the person's experience is the best they could possibly achieve would be to claim that they would never be able to improve beyond that point, which of course is not true.
