I heard it's part of the lucid dreaming but i dont know much about it? Oh lastly , do anybody know any great books on lucid? (not good, but great and indepth books) Thanks.

I don't know about the shaking, but Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming would be probably the most recommended...ever. http://www.amazon.com/Exploring-World-Drea...e/dp/034537410X http://www.lucidity.com/EWLD-contents.html

The book that Tomdub listed is probably the most respected and read book about lucid dreaming, so that's the one you should get. It's not expensive either... As far as the frizzy feelings, well, to begin with, when do you get them? In bed? Falling asleep? While running? While doing your homework? hehe, that's some information that would probably help to know. Also, is there anything that seems to trigger those frizzy feelings? Be a little more descriptive... By the way, welcome to DV! Enjoy your stay, and feel free to ask any questions you may have... but do search the forums first to make sure the question hasn't been asked before. Have great dreams...

I get them sometimes when i am sleeping. It happened more when i was little. Sometimes when i get the frizzy feeling, i get sudden feeling of being throw down on the ground . It's so real, but i wake to see i am bed. It happened alot when i was little. In my culture, some people said it was a demon haunting you . Can you image a little kid growing up with the idea that a demon was haunting him ? Anyways, i reading a book on astral travel that talked about numbness before traveling. I was thinking Lucid dreaming is like Astral Travel. Is it? Anybody has any idea about the relations between lucid and astral? Anyways, during the frizzy feeling(i am always paralized during the frizzy feelings) i sometimes hear clear sounds as vivid as hearing sounds when i am a awake. Like people talking in the corner, or sewing machine, or people running, and so forth. I think it's a part of Lucid dreaming. Has anybody had experiences of clear sounds in lucid dreaming? thanks. Thanks for the info on the books.

This is a very normal experience. Sounds to me as though you are experiencing vibrations that one often feels when entering Sleep Paralysis. It often happens when you are trying to WILD

Hey, well i agree with Gwendolyn that this is SP, as for it almost hurting sometimes, this may not be physical pain but you may feel scared and your brain projects this feeling of pain, once you feel more confident about the situation i'm sure it will pass, good luck!

Yes, that's almost certainly sleep paralysis you're experiencing. It's totally harmless, and if it occurs while you're going to sleep (instead of when you're waking up) it's possible to use this to directly begin a lucid dream, if you stay calm and don't try to fight it. The sounds you hear are also normal for when you're aware while entering or leaving a dream state, although they're a less common experience, most people tend to see images instead. As for the connections between astral travel and lucid dreaming, they're certainly very similar states, and can be induced in very similar ways. Many people even think that astral travel is simply a type of lucid dream.

Thanks for the info, i try to relax more when it happens. I wish i knew more about it when i was little . I would have alot of lucid dreams then. oh while. I going to try Time and Space Distortion, next. Try to have long lucid dreams. I want to go for a week in a Lucid dream. I've read a little but have not heard a alot about anybody doint it or personal experience . If anybody has info or experience? i very much appreiate your help. Thanks I think i've done slow down time. There where a few times when i awake up because of the alarm clock, and wish i could have more sleep time. Then, fall asleep again, and feels as its been a hours of more sleep but its only been 1 min. then fall back to sleep for another 1 min, which felt like a hour. and repeating this for ten mins. Maybe not, now i think of it. when i sleep during the day it seems it 8 hour sleep for a 2 hour sleep.

However, dreaming is much like a movie, where you might be doing something in the day light, then it gets dark, you start doing something else on another scene for a little while, and then it becomes daylight again... it feels as if an entire day has passed, even though you really only spent about 15 minutes on the dream. Also, intricate dreams usually have things happening in a very chaotic way and very quickly, so that adds to the impression that more time has passed than it actually has. Even if you happen to slow down or even freeze the dream (I managed to do that a couple of nights ago), the time in real life is still passing. In other words... if you manage to slow down or freeze a time frame in a dream of say, 1 seconds to a whole minute, then 1 minute will have passed in real life, and not the 1 second time frame that has been slowed down/freezed on the dream. Hope that makes some sense. But at any rate, it's still really neat to slow down/freeze your dreams. Especially when there's a DC chasing or attacking you, it's neat to make them slow or freeze them. I still can't control time very well though, because after I slow/freeze time, I have to stop moving as well. As soon as I try to attack a DC, or start flying, the dream starts moving as well. You should try it though... and then let me know if you find a good way of doing it.
