Thread: The levels of lucidity.

Since for "Who I Am", periods of intense emotional stress seem to be the main trigger for high level lucid dreams, there is a very high price to pay for those experiences,... divorce, raising troubled teens and young adults, physical aging, death of loved ones, marital stress, etc.. There seems to be a trade off.

Who in their right mind would seek out intense emotional stress for the experience of high level lucid dreams? Not me!

I've often wondered if the high level lucid dreams and dreams in general aren't some kind of natural defense or healing mechanisms. They have helped me get through rough times, by giving me another perspective on life and questioning what is real and unreal,... what is temporal and what is eternal.

It's not a game for children, for amusement... or to be taken lightly.

hey can someone tell me what level this was? i was in a store and while i was running down the hall i became lucid and my goal this time was to streak naked through public (lol) so while i was undressing i notice this very attractive girl to my left so i decided to wait on streaking and screw her instead so im almost there when i get this feeling like im gonna piss my pants and it just gets stronger and stronger until i lose the dream. ----this has been "pissing me off" for awhile and it keeps happening, i try to stay away from the girls in my dream becuase of this and its really annoying.

I think of those kind as “mid level”. Here’s a few things you can try next time something like that starts to happen:

Look at your and hands see if they are clean or dirty. At the same time you are doing that, repeat to yourself several times, “I’m dreaming”. If your hands are dirty find the nearest restroom and wash your hands. If your cloths are soiled or if you have soiled yourself in any other way, take a shower and put on some clean clothes. If you don’t wake up, it should help put you in a higher level.

Good job on describing some of the "levels" of lucidity.

For me there is, at least, one more major factor. And that is the amount of memory and intention that I retain from this waking reality. I am 60 years old and have been doing this since I was quite young. Sometimes I am totally lucid but have the memories of someone else or just have partial memories of this waking self. I totally control the dream and know that I am dreaming.
The memories are as real as these memories here. It can be confusing as I start to wake up.

Hi,
Good to see a 60 year old here! I've gotten the feeling that I was one of the older guys, and I'm only 51... just turned it last month. I have also been doing this since I was just a kid. I'm still trying to learn how to talk the "lingo" though. It's all been a natural thing for me. I agree about the memory. Even just with recalling normal dreams, there is a memory aspect to all of them, that is different sometimes, similar or even the same as waking life.

Sometimes it's like a whole different life or dimension of myself with a whole different memory, yet my identity, essence and intent stay intact..

This is such a useful thread, I think it needs a little bump!

*bump*

Woah, some of those posts come from 08, and then falls to 07...

It can be, is succedeed also to me. But also in the happiness moments. If the dream is in the just phase, it is transformed in a 110%. I just do not succeed to speak English! *****!!

In the last one I have transformed the colors of the sky and of the objects, smaterializion and I materialized, trapassed i walls, etc. so happy.
That same day I had worked 11 hours and was saturday...so stress and stanco
