Thread: How does it feel?

[No Experience]

From what I've read, when you become lucid it's as real as you make it.
Given that the sights, feelings, audio, and tastes are all of your own creation (if you mean to create them or not) it can
reportedly feel as if it is more vivid then waking life.

Awesome

I've yet to have a lucid dream, but it will be awesome when it happens. (hopefully tonight)

Same here

I have to keep up with the RC's, its so easy to forget them, and yet they're an important key to becoming lucid... I'm so looking forward to my first real LD

I wonder what it's like to fly... or walk through walls

probably however you think it would feel

Awesome... I still don't know what will the "dream world" Looks like... (I know... It looks the way you want it to... but... still...)

The really realistic LDs are amazing. No way to describe it, other than more real than reality.

When I was a newbie, the revelation was good too. Right after you become lucid. For a second it felt like I have achieved enlightenment and knew everything there was to know. Ofcourse a second later it becomes clear to you that it's just a dream. It felt great anyway.

Don't worry, I don't know what it's
'like' either.

I am so excited!!! But I know being that way will lead you to a 10 second LD. Also, I am somewhat afraid even though I know it's just a dream... I don't know why.

depends on whether you have a really quality LD. i've had a few little crappy LDs, and only once have i actually made a change. mostly i've been just kind of aware of it, and once i went skiing over this super steep hill, which was totlly awesome, and once i made everyone dissapear.lately, i've managed to be lucid for a couple seconds at the very end of my dream. exciting.

I'm doing it with FILD

Feelings in lucid dreams are much more different than feelings in real life. You feel much more within yourself. That place within your head feels like YOU. But your senses are somehow biased. It is pretty hard to describe it accurately, but you will soon find out yourself.

Your feelings within a dream are multplied {at least in first attempts}, when you are not used to that state. I can clearly remember, when i had my first lucid dream with superb clarity. It was like a heaven. I couldnt believe in my eyes. The whole world is constructed within. Thats trully something i would only recommend.

SO enjoy yourl learning. Somehow it is even more fun than lucid dreaming itself

I can't wait. I would sleep right now... but later I'll be more tired

Focus your mind on simple task. Calm it. Prepare it to do one single think. To be aware while you are asleep. One simple think separates your from being lucid.

1. Calm down
2. Sit down
3. Take one sentence and repeat it with as much mental pressure as you can
4. Believe that sentence
5. You increase chances for lucid dream rapidly

Fantastic. 1 lucid dream is worth a lifetime of trying.

Awesome. I wonder how long it will be. Maybe it will be so short that I can't do a reality check But maybe, (unlikely) I'll have a really long one!!

Having your first lucid dream is definitely an experience. People usually get over excited to the point where it doesn't last longer than 15 seconds. Happened to me, and probably loads of others here on these forums. If you don't get lucid at first, don't give up, simply knowing LDs exist greatly increases your chance to randomly become lucid during a normal dream. Even if you've given up and think it's impossible, you will still eventually have a lucid dream.

As far as how a lucid feels, its incredible. Your sight is not limited to the vision you have (if you need glasses, you won't need them in a dream). Your hearing is not limited to how well you can hear. You can feel, smell, taste, see, and hear everything. I still find lucid dreaming exciting.

Oh, and when you wake up you feel like you've acomplished something. Which I suppose you have. And its a cool feeling. The only feeling of regret you'll have is wishing you would've done something more exciting or went to visit some random place, etc. But you'll always have more lucids eventually.

And I'll finally be able to have bubble gum with braces Too bad it didn't work last night... ok, maybe I was to afraid of something. I don't know what I'm afraid of. I know it will be just a dream.

Actually, there are several levels that I have come across, on a 1 to 5 scale.

0-No lucidness, just an average dream
1-No lucidness, except directly at the end when you wake up, does no good
2-Somewhat lucid, no change in dream
3-Lucid, Make small changes in dream, such as walking around
4-Lucid, Can fly, walk through walls, etc....
5-Lucid, Can do 3 and 4, and can get objects in the dream

It feels really cool in the dream, but when you wake up, it feels somewhat fuzzy, like it happened but didnt happen, or at least it is for me, then I start doubting that it was really lucid.

Today I started to try WILD on my couch and I felt the tingly-ness but it went up to my face and my nose had felt like I just dived into water and it got in my nose. Then i had to get up from the pain in my nose I couldn't believe it! I was at the eye popping part too!!!

OMG I just found the easiest way to LD!!! "WILD Breathing method" where you focus on your breathing until you "teleport" into the "Dream world"

Does anyone have any advice?
