      Few questions

      Hello.

      I am new here. From foreign country, so my english is what it is, sorry for wrong spelling etc.

      I recently started with trying to have lucid dreams, keeping my journal and so on. Had few of them allready. The theme is amazing.
      Now I have some funny questions, I would appreciate the answers Thanks


      1. Can you change your looks in lucid dreams? Become thiner, pregnant, become other person, animal, character?

      2. Can you have totally lucid dream? From the begging to end making any theme you want, doing whatever you want or you just find yourself in one theme theme and do what you are suppose to do there?

      3. Can you affect other peopleby saying, feeling what you want? If I see a friend from past that doesnt speak with me for some reason, can we be friends in lusid dreams or I cant affect her feelings and comunicating with me? If I can, will she be saying what I think she should be saying (like script) or it just run naturally?

      4. Can you stop/reverse/fix something you would do different in a lucid dream?

      5. How often per week there can be lucid dreaming once you know how to do it? And how long does it usually last?

      6. Do you have to work for it all the time or once you get there, you are there?

      You can just answer few of my questions, the once you know the answer.

      Thank you

      1: Yes you can. I changed my looks in a mirror, to appear androgynously beughtiful. I got a slender muscular frame, I had two pecs instead of one and a half and it was awsome. Also my hair was straight and thin instead of curly and giant.

      2: Sometimes you can have god like powers, sometimes you can't. Your subconcious often has different ideas for the dream you'r in and often times they are better. Often while trying to achieve what you want, you have an adventure while trying to get what you want and realize that the dream gave you a better adventure than the one you planned.

      3:More often than not, at leaste in my dreams, dream characters can have minds of thier own, unless you try to control them. They often can help you gain lucid skills, but they can sometimes fight against your lucidity.

      4: You can reverse and fix things. Sometimes your subconciouse wont let you.

      5: I can lucid dream 3 to 5 times a week and so can you if you practice. Lucid dreams can often last 5 minutes to over an hour. If you get good enough you can often lengthen the time by stabilization of the dream. What I like to do after a dissapointing 2 minute lucid dream, is not to move when I wake up and imagine myself back into the dream. It only takes about half a minute. It can take many times of doing that before the dream is stabal enough.

      6: lucid dreaming is like a muscle. Lucid dreaming gets easier as your lucid muscle gets stronger. If you don't use your lucid muscle it gets weaker. It always takes effort but less effort over time, but often times it doesn't exactly get easy. I took a several month break from lucid dreaming, due to a terrible lucidmare and now I have trouble knowing when I enter the dream state. I also have trouble doing simple things liike maintaining clear vision.

      Often times the answers for questions like yours are more complex than yes or know. Simply believing you can do something is only part of dream control. The other part is convincing your subconcious to work for you and not against you. You can do everything you asked about, but it isnt as simple as some would have you believe.

      Welcome to DV nitika! Your spelling and grammar is great, no worries!

      1. Can you change your looks in lucid dreams? Become thiner, pregnant, become other person, animal, character?
      Yes. By imagining how you will look in your mind, and fully expecting yourself to be different in appearance, you will look different. You can apply this rule to any other things you want to do in the dream. If you want to fly, "know" that you can fly. If you want to breathe fire, visualize the flame and know 100% that you'll breathe fire.

      2. Can you have totally lucid dream? From the begging to end making any theme you want, doing whatever you want or you just find yourself in one theme theme and do what you are suppose to do there?
      Lucid technically means having a higher level of consciousness or awareness. So, having a "totally lucid dream" would mean that you're as aware as in waking life. How lucid you are isn't necessarily connected to how well you can control the dream, so if you're speaking in terms of how much you can do while in the dream, you're talking about having perfect dream control. It may be possible to control most aspects of a dream at the same time, but you need to mentally pay attention to whatever you want to control. If you want to do five things all at once, you really have to focus. Usually I only manipulate one or two things at once unless I've daydreamed about exactly what I want to do beforehand.

      3. Can you affect other peopleby saying, feeling what you want? If I see a friend from past that doesnt speak with me for some reason, can we be friends in lusid dreams or I cant affect her feelings and comunicating with me? If I can, will she be saying what I think she should be saying (like script) or it just run naturally?
      You can control how your friend behaves, acts, and says, just by expecting them to behave a certain way. If you don't put in some mental input to what you believe they will say, you might get some strange answers or actions from them. That can be fun too, though!

      4. Can you stop/reverse/fix something you would do different in a lucid dream?
      Yes, you can! ie. If you summon a dalmation and wanted a golden retriever, you can tell the dog to go away and try summoning the retriever again, or you can look away, not paying attention to it, and turn around to visualize a golden retriever.

      5. How often per week there can be lucid dreaming once you know how to do it? And how long does it usually last?
      It really depends on the person, so I can't really provide a specific answer to this question. How often you get lucid also depends on the technique you're using. If you use WILD, you can become lucid every night on cue if you're really good at it. DILDs are more random but you can have them every night too, again, once you master the technique. LDs vary in length and duration; most of mine last three minutes but I've had a few that lasted 10-15 minutes. It's all over the place. They will last longer if you interact with the dream environment, don't think of yourself lying asleep in bed, and if you're more relaxed and don't get excited.

      6. Do you have to work for it all the time or once you get there, you are there?
      WILDing is more of a practice-makes-perfect technique, although it's typically much harder to master than DILD and MILD, which require more consistent "work". Like Hohenheim said, I too like to consider LDing like a muscle, but I also compare dream recall to a muscle - if you don't dream journal or make an effort to remember your dreams each night, you can lose your recall very fast. That's not good for LDing, because if you can't remember your regular dreams, your lucid ones won't be remembered either.
      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.
