Long time dreamer, first time poster

Hello forum,
INTRO
Can remember audible sounds at the age of 6 and first truley lucid dreams at the age of 18, mostly dealing with flight and sex. Aside from a few articles in OMNI during the late 80's, I've had to learn on my own. Used to watch cartoons with the radio blareing for an hour, then listen to the cartoons in the dark for an hour to fall asleep. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. Found napping to be very successful, but was too lazy to get back up:). Have left it up to fate the past 15 years and have had many, many lucid dreams, severals false awakenings(my personal favorite...kinda like a bonus dream), and a very few day dreams(fully conceious)...leaving me with a feeling of dizziness and nauseau(anyone else experience this?)

HI :!: Welcome oldschool to the forum :)

Sounds like you have a good history of LDs. Maybe some techniques can help you achieve them with greater certainty..
The daydreams are fascianting. I have no idea of what that could be.
Were experiencing sleep deprivation?
on any mind altering substances?

sleep dep...no.

mind altering...not at the time...whatever it was, it kicked any other dream,lucid or not, in the butt

Welcome to Dream Views, man. I cant say i have experienced these waking dreams you speak of. I have had vivid day dreams, but I do not think that's what your talking about ... Tell me more about it.

Wish I could tell you more...all happened durnig the day, a couple while driving(very scary). Very breif and very vivid, followed by a a distinct feeling of naseau. Never felt anything like that before. Happened about 4 times in a months time. Just regular dreams since then.

The nausea-sensation could not have been adrenaline-associated, could it? I might know the type of daydream you mean... for me, the sensation of them ending is kind of like the breif plummeting sensation of a hypnic jerk, accompanied by that twisted-stomach-nausea sensation of adrenaline.
