Pretty much. In ETWOLD it talks about waking up. One good way is to 'go to sleep', lay down and close your eyes, like you are trying to sleep in the dream. You will probably wake up in real life, but there are aloso those pesky FAs. And it said you wake up if you shout your name but I haven't tried it...
But one thin you gotts know is that you will wake up anyway when you REM cycle ends, or in the morning.
so is there any possible way to kinda like have a bad trip and not be able to get out of it..
and how detailed are LD's, can we feel stuff in dreams like emotions, sex, pain and the texture of things??? im really curious about this
i just finished watching a movie called waking life.
Also from the point it goes into a normal dreams into a lucid dream everthing suddenly becomes more clear and vivid the second you realise its a dream or does it happen gradually without you realising or what??
thanks in advance.
bump? anyone?
I'm a newbie here too, but I've lurked for a few days now; so here's my first post!
I had my first intentional LD last night, and I can share what info I know.
You can feel all emotion and everything if you want to. 95% of the time, pain can be completely taken out, but things like sex, all the feeling can be felt, and sometimes better than IRL.
Well that's all I can give for now. I'm gonna plan on being here for a long time, this place has me captivated.
really? sounds like something like this would take years of perfection..
Heh, it can. I always think of LDing as an instrument for you mind. You can learn to play it right away, but it is a life long process where you keep improving through your efforts.
I haven't tried to get out of a lucid dream in a long time but there was a way I always used to do it as a kid and was having a bad dream; I'd just try to open my eyes as wide as I could and then when my dream-eyes were as open as they could get my real-eyes would open and I'd be awake.
Of course, like anything in lucid dreaming, the method doesn't matter, the important part is believing that it's going to work.
