Hello Mahshid! That's really cool! I too always make own animations and stuff, but not before I go to bed. And you are lucky you've had a lucid dream. I've never had one before and I'm still waiting for it!

Yeah, some people are ignorant about lucid dreams. People claim that lucid dreaming is fake and you can't control your dreams, when there have been tons of people who have done it.

That is so really cool! How many people do you hunt down daily? Must be fun seeing everyone running away from you in terror! Awesome!

Absolutely true! I'm also new like you and I'm very excited to achieve lucidity! Welcome to this club!

Everyone here is really nice and I can promise you, you will feel happy and at home here. There are tons of people willing to help and talk to you! When I first arrived at this site, there were members who made me extremely welcome here and very "at home!" I hope we all can do the same for you! We're all blessed that you joined this forum. Why don't you go looking around the site? Much to see and much to do! Happy dreaming!

Hi Mahshid and welcome to Dreamviews! I love animation too and am actually going to college to become a professional artist for animation. I think animation and lucid dreams go great together. You can make a world from scratch with just your imagination. Plus you can use dreams to inspire your animations! Like Luciera said there are lots of friendly people here who will help you become a better lucid dreamer. Make yourself at home. You seem like you have some natural tallent for dreaming so why not look into WILD techniques to supplement your current abilities. It is also a good idea to have some goals for what you want to do next like how you like to become a lioness. Do you have any ideas?

Also, hi Luciera. I should say welcome to you too. It is great to have both of you here.

Thank u for welcoming me so warmly!! I really enjoyed reading your replies and really felt comfortable I really am looking forward to posting more and reading your useful information and getting hep from you. I also love to be with people who believe that one can get things by just believing in it . and of course TRYING hard and sometimes not hard for it .

Thanks and your welcome!

I WANNA ACHIEVE LUCIDITY. I'VE HEARD SO MANY STORIES AND I'M JEALOUS. D':
WAH

I had my first lucid dream when I never knew what was going on and that was more painful than u having no lucid dreams. Lol. Kidding I promise you will have urs too as soon as you r ready for it. I never cared about dreams but all I did was daydreaming till I fell asleep. You can start from visualising things. Remember the features of sponge Bob and try to talk to him n make his lips and cheeks move. I love Sponge Bob he is so cute

I'm trying to get used to replying n how to do it I've never seriously started posting like now

Thank you Mashid for everything. You are a really affable person. I really appreciate your support. You made me believe once more. I know I will attain lucidity. Thank you so much, once again.

And yeah, Spongebob is awesome! So is Patrick!

I have a question about reality checks ( I'm a beginner after all!) And I guess I've seen no answer to it anywhere.
My question is how to do a reality check. I know tons of reality checks like biting urself and scaring people thinking whether or not ur a zombie r u dreaming and if u were u would feel no pain. Should I pretend and imagine I feel no pain? Should I imagine my finger goes through my Palm? Bcz it doesn in real and that caused my RC to fail. I'd b happy to see ur answers. Since I've read all forums about RC and then registered to meet cool ppl and ask questions
Thank u so much all

Thanks for ur warm welcome
I wish u the greatest luck in becoming the most famous pro artist for animations.
Then I'd come to u and ask u to make an animation of my dreams in chasing and spilling blood

Welcome to the forum, Mahshid. I saw you stop by chat for a bit, hope to see you again.

I've never heard of biting yourself as an RC, and I actually don't know how effective it would be in practice. To me, it seems like it would hurt about the same in the dream as it would in reality, which makes it not that great of a reality check. My go-to reality check is the nose plug - plug your nose and try to breathe through your closed nostrils. More often than not, you'll be able to breathe through them in the dream.

If you haven't already, you might want to check out this tutorial, it'll teach you how to effectively practice RCs in waking life for inducing lucids: Reality Check Tutorial - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

By and far the best RC that works for the most people is the nose plug one that spellbee2 mentioned. You can breath in dreams no mater what because of our biological need for oxygen. Otherwise people who have nightmare of drowning might actually die. Pinching yourself or biting yourself is something that works in movies but not in real life consistantly because unlike in the movies it is possible to feel pain while dreaming (although you can go through very brutal stuff while lucid and feel fine haha). Other than that You can always experiment with other techniques once you are lucid and see what works for you.

Important: Even if you come to the conclusion that you are not dreaming, don't acknowledge it. Don't say/think "I'm not dreaming". Instead, say a mantra "Next time I'm dreaming, I realize I'm dreaming", or "Next time I RC, I realize I'm dreaming." Otherwise, you may RC in your dream and out of habit you will acknowledge that you are not dreaming. That's what I wanted thanks ! True I felt pain in my dreams and biting is not a good choice. anyway is there a place for discussions like this? Questions and answers? I feel our conversation here is kinda irrelevant to this topic. Hope its not.
