I wish I had the skill to be able to be fully lucid every night. Guess its too much for us mere mortals to achieve and takes time and dedication. You are ''lucky'' I suppose to be able to do it from an early age. |

New to this site, wanting to hear feedback from others. Are there other people who feel at least to some degree as if they are "permanently lucid". Now what i mean by this is exactly as the title suggests, that every time you enter into a REM cycle that you are aware of it. Every night that i fall asleep I am fully aware that i am dreaming, for the most part I let the dream and my subconscious have control (mostly for sanity's sake), however I always maintain control of my body and my thoughts. If a dream takes a turn that I am not pleased with I will consciously change the course of said dream. Besides the times in the sleep cycle where REM is not happening I feel as if I'm getting no rest at all because I am constantly aware at all times. I am curious if there are others out there. Through my early development of my dreaming I might be able to do this. To clarify, as a child i was barraged by night after night of horrid nightmares, (months on end) as many of you know having a nightmare is one of the "easiest" ways to become fully lucid instantly, by the mind's natural survival instinct you feel an urge of "this isn't real, you're dreaming, wake up". Basically because of these never ending nightmares in my early childhood I am now always aware when I enter into a dream state. When i first actually started reading about lucid dreaming I was surprised this wasn't an average thing. Please reply, any feedback and discussion is welcome, I am still trying to fully understand just how deep i can take what i can do. |

Control for the most part isn't a problem, by either thinking or calling out to my subconscious in my dream, I have even been able to some degree start to master Buddhist dream meditation. Which if you can try it is a superb experience I highly recommend researching it |
|
I know there was a member(s) on this forum that has achieved a state like this. They become aware during delta sleep and they just can't rest mentally. |

The egg is the world.
Who would to be born must first destroy a world.
That seems awesome to me, but there are things you can do though if you don't like it. I wish this was a teachable skill. |

it would seem awesome but I imagine he wakes up exhausted like he hasn't had an ounce of sleep. One of the few times Ive just gone into lucid dreams from the start of sleep I've had this experience, you wake up but your mind isn't rested |

Created account just for this. |

I'm glad to know there are others like me, it's apparently exceedingly rare to have this perpetual lucidity. And when you say you always know that you're dreaming "on some level" I get that a lot, for the most part in order to get any rest I ignore obvious ways I could pull myself into full lucidity. It feels like my head is a tv station that plays a different show for me to act out with me as the star. Everything from murder mysteries to being a superhero, the only reason I pull myself into full lucidity is if I don't like the way it's shaping up. I have a feeling you know exactly what I mean |
|
Again, I do not think the fault of the restless nights lies on lucidity. |
|
Well it's good to hear that lucidity itself is probably not the problem. I started a sleep journal to try to figure out when I sleep better, see how long I keep that up lol. |

Thanks Hukif for the wise words. I am interested in this Gravity RC, I will PM. |

Also might I add that consistency and simplicity is key to being successful with lucid dreaming. There is no time frame in which it can be accomplished, it happens when YOU realize something within. When you are able to grasp and understand how something truly works THEN you will enter a world of pure imagination |

Bravo, loved how you put it. Thank you for the advice. |

Ha, most people try really hard to get a lucid dream and this guy actually tries to avoid becoming lucid. kind of funny. |
