Thread: Vivid dreams

If you mean completely realistic and vivid... while being lucid.... yes I've had this only once.
Unfortunately it only lasted about a minute.

And my control was limited due to the realism. However it was a spectacular scene - next to a lake, with autumn colours and the sun shining brightly. Vineyard to my left above puppies playing on the grass.
And amazingly realistic ripple effects on the lake.

I couldn't fly... probably due to what I said already, it was 'too' realistic

In my dreams it has been anything from whitewater rafting through the streets of my old hometown on a mattress and reaching a safe haven which was my old apartment there.....on the 3rd floor through a window or rock climbing in the middle of nowhere or rushing through forests or whatever.

So to me the dreams are intense and I feel like I've actually lived it but there is a definite surrealness to the dreams. I don't have these all the time, but when I do I feel blown away cause they are so real. So I'm not sure how lucid I am as I have not got control over the situation but it seems that sometimes I can look at what's happening from a distance or watch what's going on up close. Its really cool is what it is, I can't wait to be able to do this on purpose.

Most of my LDs seem vivid, while im in them anyway-im always wondering if it is actualy a dream and double checking.
But im still trying to find that spot with spectacular scenery

Wow that sounds cool. I have had interesting landscapes in my dreams but very surreal. Often times its a collage of places I have been in my life all put together. So say parts of my first highschool in Town A and the gym and sports fields of my highschool in Town B, but the mainstreets of yet another place I've stayed.

I can't wait to be more aware during the dreams I have like this, but even so usually by the second half of these dreams I am pretty aware and rewind to earlier parts and redo them if I didn't like the outcome....though I'm usually being woken up by someone at this point. Grrr! Sleep is sacred to me, but understand its not my life I simply enjoy falling asleep and dreaming.

The first time I performed a WILD, I had the most intence, vivid and aware lucid dream I have ever had. Everything was too real, perhaps even more real than this world, if that makes any sense. I wasn't limited in my powers, though. I was able to perform a gravity defying jump/short flight and put my hand throught a mirror...

The most important thing I did in that dream, though, is to admire the reality of it all, cherish that moment. It was a spiritual experience...

Yeah, but then I realized that I wasn't dreaming. I was really at school. And I really did get on top of the teacher's desk and start dancing and singing Michael Jackson's 'Smooth Criminal'. And I really did get in school suspension. But hey, I'm popular now. Just goes to show you how a mistake, with five minutes of doing something bizarre, can get give you a whole school year of fame!
