About a lucid dream I had... I had trouble controlling.

**Crucible** · 10-25-2003 03:01 PM

I'll just start off with what I remember about it. And I will tell you at the point when I get lucid - it was for quite a while too.

It started out I had went back in time (it did not last long). I was on a horse (I have never been on one). Well, I saw a river that had a bridge in the future and decided to cross it. I got off the horse to do so. I was looking at the rocks in the water as I crossed. It looked as if someone places them there to cross the water there. There was a trail leading out of it. I saw a leech here and there too which I avoided. After I crossed the horse seemed to be gone. I then went on foot up a dirt hill. It was not a very steep one - more like a steep trail. At that point I looked out and saw a huge dirt hill. It had some trails going along the side. To the left of it I saw another trail that lead to it and went across it. IT lead to join with my trail once I got up to it. There were trees on the left and right. Also, the river sent up to the right of the hill I was guessing because I saw a gap in the trees. I walked towards the hill a bit more till I came to that intersection. It had those two joining then another leading along the right side of the hill. I followed that till I was completely on the other side and I met a person. He was a bit older than me. He looked a little raggity. I was asking him where he was heading and he said he was going my way for a little while so we went on. (now lets say the huge hill is north of the river... well, i went north to the hill, along the right side till i got to the north side of the hill). At this point we both went east. It was sort of a downward road. Also, the road was sort of a trail with two wheel marks. IT was larger than the small trail I took to the hill. We went down this and I saw a street. This is when the past and future combined. I got down to it and cross it. There was a house on the corner. The street was going north and south and I went north. He was still following me. When I looked up the street (it was also 4 lanes wide and one way with traffic coming towards me). I saw it full of bulls with some people here and there on the side. It wasl ike those bull runs they do. I told him we should not walk on the sidewalk, but walk on the side. There were some trees next to the sidewalk. The sidewalk was hugging the street. Well, by the time we got to the trees and sidewalk the bulls started turning into cars. They were modern cars. He said something about the cars being new. After walking about a block from that corner I told you about I looked to the left side of the street and saw an apple orchord. He kept on going north so I left him and crossed. When I crossed I Saw the driveway made out of rocks leading to a barn and some other stuff. IT was a barn that was turned into a building. I walking south along the street looking at the orchord. I had no money and I wanted to get some apples. I saw people here and there I had to not let see me. Also, there was a small wooden fence along the outside of it. I walked down it looking at apples here and there looking for a good one and watching the people in it. After I got south one block, (across the street from that house on the corner) I ran into someone I knew in highschool. David is his name. At first I was talking to him about something (just about knowing him and stuff) then I asked why he was talking the way he was and he said he was drunk. And that he liked to drink. Well, at that point I knew it was a dream. So I asked him to make me some alcohol because I seem to always have trouble doing that in dreams. He made some. IT was a tiny on shot thing of vodka and a 425 (or something) ml bottle of something. It appeared on the fence which became thicker. I took the vodka and drank that first. Then I drank the other one. I saw a bottle of wine and guzzled that (lol). Most of it spilled down my face. At that point the fence that the alcohol appeared on turned into bar just inbetween the street and orchord. Everything else was still there, lol. After I had drank that I kept asking him if he was having this dream too. I was trying to put it off like who cares or something. I then told him to email me. He grabbed a piece of people. I said [email protected]. He wrote that down. I kept repeating it to help him remember. He then tried to make one of those things where you assign each letter to a word. A nuemonic (i know the spelling is wrong) device. Well, I let him get to that. I then tried to make some alcohol. At first I tried just making it appear which did not work. I then tried looking away and tricking myself into thinking that there was some there when I looked back. I also opened up a cupboard on the bar (some appeared at the bottom) and imagining that one was in there. I opened it up and it did not work. At that point I gave up. I got back to helping him remember before I woke up completely. I knew that was going to be soon. Eventually a computer desk and monitor on top appeared at the left side of the bar. It was hugging up against it. I went and looked at it and saw it was him typing to me. I started reading through them and then my sister came to my left. Now this was strange. The only reason is, is that my sister has almost never been in my dreams. IT has been years since. Well, I was reading it and she was making some replys of it to me. Then text started speeding up too then. And the names were changing. At that point I felt my self waking up. The last things I said before I woke up was just do it I think. Trying to get him to just go and try it.

Btw, the entire time the dream was completely realistic looking. Almost every dream I have are. If I was an artist I could draw the entire thing with even the smallest details. And before the dream started. I remember something happening but it faded away. So I guess we have dreams throughout the whole night or at least in and around each REM stage. We just are never awake enough to remember them.

Lol, that's way cool. I wish I could be of some help but I don't know what you want me to say...

**Crucible** · 10-25-2003 05:27 PM

Better ways to control things in dreams. I have made stuff before like knives. Maybe if I imagine touching it or something I can make it.

**wasup** · 10-25-2003 06:20 PM

Let's see... controling of dreams...

Well first, you gotta know everything is your own creation and a in your mind. The more you beleive that the more control you have. You have to not fear anything and have no doubt at all that what you want won't happen. All you really have to do is will something to happen and it should. Another way you can do it is, I'v never tried this but it might work, turn into some character or all mighty being (or some sort of god) and pretend that you could do anything. You have to visualize what you want to happen happening. Hmm... there's not much else I could say... possibly you could say throughout the dream that it is a dream and that everything you see isn't really there. Well, I should listen to myself becuase I had no control over my dream in the last one. Technically the more lucid you are the more control you will have because I wasn't even lucid enough to remember all of this...

I would go with the almioghty god thing. Create a bar. And ppl in it and teleport yourself down to a drink with the bar tender.

**Crucible** · 10-26-2003 01:24 PM

Well, I tried thinking to myself that I had complete control and it worked. I was able to change whatever I wanted. What was funny was that while being lucid I noticed things started to get darker. That was me waking up. I found that going back to sleep while lucid helped bring the light back. Although the second time I tried that I ended up waking up completely. But the whole it is a dream and I can change whatever I want thing worked. Next time I sleep I am going to work on staying lucid longer. I think when I take too much control it won't last long.

**wasup** · 10-26-2003 01:37 PM

Wait so you took my advice and had a lucid dream?

**Crucible** · 10-26-2003 01:41 PM

Oh no, I always have lucid dreams. I was just able to control it. The only way I can though is if I slowly change things. I can't just go poof and make things appear.

**Crucible** · 10-26-2003 01:42 PM

I just tried controlling it the way you said. By just saying this is a dream and I have complete control. Things were in my control then.

**wasup** · 10-26-2003 02:14 PM

Nice I actually helped someone...

**Ginko** · 10-26-2003 06:49 PM

Damn man, hosw often you have lucid dreams? and whats your tecquine, do u go into your dream lucid.

The few time iv come lucid, poofing things were extremely easy. I was to lazy to walk over there so i teleported my self or just summmoned the seneriy around me with my mind. I seem to have about 90% control when im lucid, the only problem is becoming lucid 4 me.

What makes me gain alot of control is the fact of knowing i can do almost anything, and with out dobt all im left with is cofidence

**Crucible** · 10-27-2003 11:54 PM

Almost every night sometimes more than once a night I have lucid dreams. Sometimes I do not even want to be lucid completely in dreams. I realize it is a dream but I don't want control. Like today I had a very interesting dream. I wanted to explore it rather than control it. Funny thing is, is that during the dream (which also lasted long - 10-15 minutes) I did look around just to see how realistic it looked. But since aliens were taking over the planet I decided to stay in the dream. It was a fun one. I eventually did make it away. I was running town a familar street with two others after our bikes failed on us. Well, they were bikes we found somewhere that we took. That was a few blocks back.

Well, I guess I can try to start from the beginning. Since this dream was longer I do not remember it as well. And I did not try to recall it in the morning. If I would have I could tell you the whole thing in detail.

From what I can remember I was on the edge of some hill and there was water at the bottom of it. I saw people I knew from my past around me. We were playing some sort of game. I was making money at it for winning. Well, eventually I left that area and came to a gas station I think. I was with one other person. He or she (i forgot) went inside to buy some stuff. I pulled out a bundle of money I had with me. At that point I noticed it was a dream. So I decided to look around and stuff. I saw some people. Everything I noticed looked real. I did not want to disrupt the dream so I left my lucid state and went back into dream mode. Well, I was standing outside the door to the gas station and I noticed a trash can. It was a metal one with a metal lid. About 4 feet tall. Well, something green started to come up from inside of it. There were little slimy sort of things sticking up. Around that point my friend told me not to look at them. We both picked up some bikes and left. We were going down a street sort of. The street is hard to describe. It was more like a parking lot with curves in it. But it was dark and dirty looking like an ally. Well, I noticed green slimy stuff on the ground. That was us being attacked appearently. We looked at it and kept going avoiding the stuff. I told my friend about a place I knew from another dream that we could go to. It was about 8 blocks away from where I was. (yes many of my dreams sort of connect to each other) There was a store about 2 blocks from us. We went to there. The place was on fire. I tried to go in to see if I could salvage anything. I could not so we left and when we crossed the street still heading for my place we lost our bikes. We started running on foot trying to get there and I woke up.

Well, I slept 14 hours that night so I could not go back to sleep. That night I decided to take a sleeping aid. I have only taken one twice in my life. I took about twice the amount. It said it may cause nightmares. Allthough that was not one it still was a long dream. I think they may help. Only problem is that they are addictive so I won't take anymore.

Well, you are wondering how I have such vivid and often lucid dreams. I could actually type here and write for hours just telling you of my dreams. I would say I have developed it over time. I did not start having lucid dreams till maybe a few years ago. I am 19 now. I did not start having many dreams till I was about 10 or so. I had them when I was like 5, but not as many. And those were less vivid. I suppose I can't really tell you how to have lucid dreams. First step is trying to remember dreams. I think that becoming lucid then staying in the dream will make them last longer. Heck, it may have just been the sleeping aid. And if you are able to become lucid but not often, all I can say is to sleep 10-12 hours a night. I don't go to school or work so I can do that. Many cannot. The more you sleep the better rested your body is so the more you dream. The more you dream the more likely you are to become lucid.

Btw, sleeing aids are good once in a while if you do not get enough sleep. Take them on a friday. I took 4 tylonol PM. Well, I have lots of energy today from sleeping so much. Too bad I don't have any tests to take.

Well, good luck dreaming.

**Crucible** · 10-28-2003 12:32 AM

Oh yes, thank you for killing my post. Now it is at a place no one goes to. It is not just dream control. IT also has experiences. How to become lucid. Etc etc. That is why I put it in general.
