Hello Forum - My greetings and some questions

[Scapetraverser]

I've been interested in dreaming for a while. Most of all control of Lucid dreaming. I've poked around here and there on the web seeking techniques, safe supplement consumption, (Vb6) etc, and can't be sure what has really worked for me. The latest closest thing to a lucid I had was a room with changing walls. Literaly changing before my eyes, as if going through different timelines and cultures. My problem is I usually wake in these events often. If I had the time that morning, it would have been a perfect time to venture further into the dream. Why I'm here? Recently I was watching this show called DERREN BROWN INSIDE YOUR MIND. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out on HULU. On episode 2 they had this young man who went out with his friends to a bar. He played this zombie game that was fixed up to put him into deep sleep, and somehow immediately got him into a catatonic state. His friends were baffled as the host of the show smoothly lead them all to another building with a setting very similar to the game. They all watched from another room as he was signaled to wake up and experience the thrill of being what felt like inside the game. It was hard to tell if he was enjoying it, or freaked out of his mind. Probably both. But, what interested me is I had this idea that he may be in a waking dream like state. This really interested me also because I am a gamer More so, it intrigued me as I am now wondering how I could use similar methods to possibly help my lucid dreaming. And what I can do to dream of things that I want to. Feel free to share your thoughts, thanks.

Welcome. There's a bunch of techniques for lucid dreaming. I just do reality checks (when I remember to) and hope for the best. Other use stuff like WBTB, WILDs, DILDs, and all those other acronyms. I don't really know that show but I also been a fan of video games since way back and my lucid dreams usually reflect the action like aspects of some games I been play and what not. Not sure if I offered much help but there's a lot of resources and people here as well. Good luck!

Welcome to Dreamviews! I also play games and I hear from gamers here that they often dream about the game they are playing at the moment. If you want to dream about certain thing, you can think about it a lot during day, daydream, and then think about it as you falling asleep. It's called dream incubation and even if it may not work every time, sometimes it does and it's awesome. B6 may help with dream being more vivid and detailed, just don't take it every day, or too much of it. And if you didn't read tutorials here on DV, I recommend you do, since they may differ greatly from those in other places. DV Academy - in case you wanna read the tutorials here, or join a class. If there is anything you need help with, just post your question. Happy dreams
