Dream Recall

[osyris]

i have just started trying to lucidly dream and have started to work on dream recall...i am doing well with it, i have trained myself to wake up after a dream so i can record it..........i do that 2-4 times a night........my question, i have been getting fairly major headaches, has anyone else had this happen? is it normal? will it go away? ok, 3 questions, lol

Are you taking any medication at the moment? I found certain 'safe' dream drugs to induce headaches for me. I believe its to do with certain people having slightly unusual chemical processes going on. Eg. I can stimulate adrenaline release in my body by will alone. I have no idea what effect that has on me in other areas of my life.

no, im not on any meds or nething like that...my brain chem is a LITTLE messed, but ive always been like that.......and i can release various chemicals when i want to (that is how i thought u were supposed to wake up)

First, Welcome! How much total time are you sleeping? Would it be possible for you to go to bed earlier to make up the lost time?

Welcome! It could be that you are waking up too often and losing good sleep. Trying too hard will give you headaches.

Sleep is the most important thing for your body. Waking up 2-4 times may interfer negatively w/ your body (every individual is different). Drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep. Plus, give yourself a forehead message (sounds crazy, works wonders). Use your pointer fingers and start messaging a little above the middle of your brows. Work your way around the sides and then use the side of your fingers (two pointers) for the top of your forehead.

i can release various chemicals when i want to [/b] Hmm. You're the second LDing guy thats told me that. I wonder if LD consciousness seems to encourage waking with this method. I used to think I was unique - at least so far I'm the only guy I know who can do it in waking life, at any time... How does it feel? And how do you do it? (tough Q - but try pls )

[osyris]

i control the release of various chemicals throught music, meditation and mental imagery...a pleasing picture can go a long way...however, if i concentrate on it tho, i can release endorphans if i want to, i dont know how tho

if i concentrate on it tho, i can release endorphans if i want to, i dont know how tho[/b] I've been doing it for a while, so I can do it pretty well now. Hard to tell if its the same thing as what you do/have. Might be. I intend having it checked out with a blood test or something - try figure out if it's adrenaline or something else.

WELCOME OSYRIS!!!! It is a prety impresive ability to be able to control chemicals like that...I wish I could learn that...Good luck on your quest towards lucidity!

[Umbrasquall]

Woah that's crazy. Controlling hormones? How's the testostrone control? Truth, I think you can do it, either that or you are on something. The entire forums are full of your posts.

Nah...I'm just bored at work, where I happen to have few things to do and a T1 internet connection
