The Share-Anything about LD's Thread

[lucidreamsavy]

OK, ever had something involving LD's that you've ever wanted to say, but didn't think it was big enough to start a new thread for? WELL, then, this is your thread. Post anything you'd like to share about your LD's, or anything of the like. I wanted to just say that I know a girl from school, as of today that has MOSTLY only LD's. She told me, and my eyes were all wide, mouth open partially, and, basically, I looked odd. I didn't have time to tell her anything yet about my situation (I LD a lot and love to do it...), so she was probably not getting why I was lookin like that . It's AMAZING to know someone that has them a lot! She says that she can't control them, though (like she knows that you CAN ). She also shared a few dreams with me, so I am SO tellin her a bunch of things about LDing tomorrow, now it's "safe". I could've made a thread about this, but I KNOW there were MANY threads about this before, I just couldn't find one . Even through searching I couldn't find one . Maybe I'm just bad at searching, though I do know how to do it. Oh well, legit loophole.

I've just been wondering, if you do several sets of like three RC's (more specifically The nose RC, the Finger RC, and the finger through palm RC) a day how often will you have a DILD...?

I've just been wondering, if you do several sets of like three RC's (more specifically The nose RC, the Finger RC, and the finger through palm RC) a day how often will you have a DILD...? It's random, the amount of times your lucids won't depend on how many RC's you do, they just HELP with the POSSIBILITY of having a lucid. It could be lots, it could be little. There isn't a set number for that.

I've just been wondering, if you do several sets of like three RC's (more specifically The nose RC, the Finger RC, and the finger through palm RC) a day how often will you have a DILD...? Impossible to say. It all depends on the person. Keep in mind that the idea of a RC is not mainly to perform a mindless action (such as pinching your nose), but to question your surroundings. I can't stress this enough. Do people even read the RC tutorial? LDS, good thread! This is what I have to add: Starvation makes your dream cool and vivid (and increases chances of lucidity).

Here's my random-too-insignificant-to-make-a-thread-about piece of experience: Hangovers are a lucid dreaming gold mine. Every single morning after. Jackpot.

Well, I actually do take the time to ask myself about the surroundings when class gets boring

Well, I actually do take the time to ask myself about the surroundings when class gets boring That's a good start, but how long it takes to learn and how many LD's you get, and of what quality, vary far too much from person to person. I don't believe an approximation or an accurate guess to the average could be obtained, either. Everyone has certain methods that work great for them, and some not at all. I know people who have multiple LD's per night, using, at least in part, RC's; some have only a lucid a month, if that.

[Serenity]

Most of my LD's involve little dream control. I usually only realise I'm dreaming, and I can change minor things that affect the plot. Once, in recent memory, did I get the chance to break off and explore flight and telekinesis. This is part of why it's so damn hard for me to complete the tasks of the month =/

[Serenity]

Also... I've come to hate reality checks with a passion, lol. I know what they are and how to do them, but they (so far) have a 100% fail rate when I'm dreaming. I didn't know about RC's before DV. I always had DILDs from becoming aware of things when dreaming. So... I'm building on that now.

It's so creepy how alike we are...One person today even "asked" us if we're related . So, yeah, I can see me talkin with her about dreams again. I told her she should check out stuff on LDing (after I told her that's what it's called) and she seemed hesitant, but IDK, sayin "dreams are awesome" is good enough for me.

[Maria92]

Ladies and Gentlespoons, I'm tackling LDing with renouned vigor! I have more powerful subliminals than ever, and I'm gonna concentrate on my VILD, as well as work on dream incubation.

When i was first starting out lucid dreaming i had tried to kiss a girl in a dream and her bottom half fell off on the floor and turned to wax, now it happens in all my dreams when i go up to a women.

[J.D.]

:O I'd be ragin'. lol

When i was first starting out lucid dreaming i had tried to kiss a girl in a dream and her bottom half fell off on the floor and turned to wax, now it happens in all my dreams when i go up a women. Oh my.... GOD.... Well, my lucids are real short right now. I know it's been said that changing your environment isn't exactly the easiest thing to do, and can cause destabilization, but it's easycake for me, I don't bat an eye when I turn around and change everything around me in one quick motion. Is that normal to be able to do?

[I_C_U]

Okay, does eating food that has vitamin B6, or stuff like that IN a dream makes it more vivid ?

[Clyde Machine]

Well, you probably don't want to hear that it's your willpower that'll make it happen, but that's the simple truth; if you, while in a dream, believe that taking something while improve the dream's clarity, then that's what's going to happen, if you expect it to happen. Me, I've got so much control with my own words, I don't rely on anything but my words, my wishes, and my body in lucid dreams to control what I want to control. Granted, my lucids are always rather short, I've never had trouble with getting something to happen when I just wished it to happen. I just willfully believe it'll happen, and sure enough, I just changed the environment, or made the Portal gun appear. In this case, I'd rephrase your question into whether or not you want to make your dream self rely on a substance or some object's existence/presence to help control your lucid dreams and make them more vivid? I believe that I just have to say I want my dream to be clear and vivid, and it happens.

Ugh...I wish that I am able to fall asleep EVERY weekend day! But NO, my body is too used to waking up at 6, so it's like "I'm doin you a favor for letting you sleep in two hours later". "Um, not really, because I'm also going to bed an hour and a half later too!" I want more dreams, and a higher chance to get one of my morning lucids, which is what most of them are! And, that involves going back to sleep on a weekend day!

Being on-topic, Nerimeno is a dragon I found by breaking several seals in different planets that were guarded by weird beings, yay Nerimeno!

[beachgirl]

this morning in a non-lucid i made out with a gorgeous young blonde with golden ringlets. i'd like to LD and meet up with her again - soon. We really had some chemistry!

[Smuds]

Considering this is anything about Lucid Dreams... I guess I can ask another question . Well, I was wondering, I looked on the lucid aids thing for the audio stuff and I saw that there was three different version of the Lucid Dreaming audio thing by Ninja(insert some numbers...). I was just wondering.. Which is the most effective in the terms of Lucid Dream rate...? Or does it relate to the person's mind (like almost everything else )

[Serenity]

I would try to pick whichever version looks like is newest? I haven't really looked at those aids myself, but I did read about the research he put into them... it seemed to me that each newer version was an improvement upon the other (as is usually the case). I'm not sure how they have worked out for people. Perhaps the creator of the files would be the best person to ask for this

I never thought about this but I remember some dreams like 4-7 years ago, like when I was 7 years old or something like that (Don't really remember I only know it was long time ago) I had a dream (that I remember barely) where I was on my mother's room and the room had like a hole or something and I don't really remember what I said exactly but it was something along the lines of "Mom, did you know that I'm dreaming" and then she told me some stuff like "really?" and I kept talking to her that this was a dream. I remember I had a couple of those dreams where I said to the DCs that I was dreaming.. I don't really remember clearly, but I don't think it was a Lucid dream, but somewhere in my mind it tells me that I wanted to say that on the dream. (As I said it was like 7 years ago I can't remember clearly) I see that people say that if you know it's a dream, then it's 100% a lucid dream..What do you say?

It's tricky and simple all at the same time. Erm, like I've had DC's tell me I'm dreaming, or I'll talk about dreaming, but I don't actually realise that I'm dreaming at that moment. But all you need to consider a dream lucid is to be aware that you are dreaming. You'll know when you're lucid. It feels different. It's kind of like a light bulb that clicks on, and it's like, "Ohhh... this is a dream!" A common misconception is that lucidity and control go together. Which is untrue. Lucidity is just being aware that you're dreaming. Oftentimes, that's all I ever get. I don't usually have a lot of control when I'm lucid. I get "stuck in a plot." For the most part, I'm okay with that, but it DOES ruin my opportunities to complete the task of the month, or task of the year

Since I use my pockets so much, and always have a running inventory list in my mind about what's in those pockets, the method of having an object materialize in my pocket didn't work out the other morning. I tried pulling out a wand from my coat pocket, but since I only ever put my cell phone in that pocket, and that's only sometimes, I didn't actually pull anything out of my pocket. What I'm going to do is keep a few key objects in my pockets for the sole purpose of having in the lucid dreams I have. I know that I have pulled out my knife from my left pants pocket in a lucid dream before, because I knew it was there - good thing I had it too, or I would've lost that knifefight. My first object needs to be an activation switch of some sort, so that if I ever get the chance to detonate an explosive in a dream, it'll work by using said switch. (I'd do something with my phone to act as that switch, but oftentimes in my dreams my phone does odd things that I can't explain, making the phone unreliable to an extent.)
