Hey Nicole should be having the Non lucid count in the profile info hehe :P
I'm actually very jealous of you, Nicole. Plenty of people would give an arm or a leg to have your dreaming prowess - embrace it instead of opposing it. :)
Doesn't it get boring? About a year ago I was having 3-5 LDs in a week (DILDs). Eventually I got bored and stopped lucid dreaming for the summer (maybe 5-7 LDs in 3 months).
You should not freak out of that at all. Actually if I were you I would spend most of my day sleeping, since I did not have any LD yet, even though I am trying so hard. It is harmless and very fun, helpful.
Less freak more idol.
Anyways, I read somewhere that in lucid dreams you can create a pill that will prevent you from or force you to lucid dream for periods of time. I think there was a forum post somewhere in DV about it.
I'm kind of a musicphile as well. I usually listen to chiptune. As for "being without" music, I can "play" music in my head. Very vividly. I play music all day every day (it does still take effort, so I have occasional silence). It's easier for music I've recently been listening to, but I can experiment with whatever sound I want. In fact, this is how my first and only lucid dream became lucid. I started playing music in my head and the same song came on over the loudspeaker in the room I was in. I haven't had success since then, but I'm still trying to DILD and WILD. Although a recent altercation with REM inhibiting medicine is stalling me for now, I hope to have success soon.
I'm interested in the dream characters. How "intelligent" are they? How deep are the characters, I guess. I haven't really gotten to experiment with lucid dreaming. You could go to the "dream doctor" and have them prescribe you that pill I mentioned earlier. Although I don't really like to be dependent on drugs. It's not my thing.
Right then, back to characters, I also wonder if you've encountered the "Dream Guide" character that many "meet." If you haven't heard of this, it is a character that helps you do dream control and stuff. Also, we unblissfully unaware people who don't normally lucid dream have developed terms for everything. Such as DC, LD, DG, SG, AP, OOBE, WILD, MILD, DILD, DEILD, FILD, VILD, REM, SP, HI, HH, and RAWRISUCKATLUCIDDREAMINGHELPME are some examples. It's like being in the military. The "wiki" tab up there where you clicked "forum" to get here is helpful.
As for photographic memory, I have nowhere near that kind of ability, but sometimes when I'm taking a test I studied for, I can "visualize" what I studied. It isn't really detailed, but can help me recall the information better.
Wow, I didn't mean for this to be a wall of text, I guess I don't identify with "normality" either. It's fun to have unconventional brains, especially when they're different. I'm not "clinically" different from the "rest of us," but I don't feel as a part of it either.
For most, lucid dreaming is not a daily occurance, many will get to one a month, twice a month, maybe once a week with much practice and dream journal keeping.
Haven't been lucid since December :(
Anyone else notice that this thread is kind of old?
I have been lucid dreaming sense I was a kid. Even when I was 4-5 years old. That stopped happening when I was about 12 years old.
But now that I have trained myself to lucid dream im having about 5 Lucids a week. (although right now I'm in a dry spell.)
Wow, it is, I just noticed that.Quote:

I wonder if this person is still here.. I'm 1 of the kind about the luciding every night without effort, which I find it irritating sometimes. And there's the problem: I can't shut the lucidness off even for one night
I actually still can't quite believe you all are actually Trying to lucid, no offense I just find myself weird that's all. There's indeed an unknown problem with me..-Sigh-
Anyway, Lucks for more LD to current lucid seekers ;)
Fancy trading minds, Shinice? I still haven't had ONE. Been trying for about two weeks now (granted, I could be trying a lot harder). :P
Okay, I envy your skill...once I had a LD, but I was a child, don't remember it pretty well, and it was kind of crazy...but I had only this time... now I'm trying hard to do this. :panic:
I would happily have your "talents".
I receive lots of such..Requests, and my answer to them is: I would like to trade minds....but.. ..its not possible =_=
Anyways you guys should be thankful your minds allow you to rest during LD.
And would you guys still want to have LD even if it means giving up your sleep?
I just remember 3 lucids of mine when I was young, Ghost through Window, Hell hole in Train and Dino MacDonald.
I started luciding like everyday since 4 years back for no reason.
And its really easy to LD, just need and active and imaginative mind thats all. Keep going at it.
E.g. of such mind: Reading book = Watching movie (as my mind will play out what I've read)
I do that too. Although, I like the cinematics in my brain better than a real movie.Quote:

I began to think I can't be the only one have these intense dreams so I googled dreams and found the lucid world which I am happy to say landed me here. I'm looking forward sharing and hearing more...:D
Hey guys since she has lucid dreams almost every night maybe we can observe her "differences" and try to utilize them in our lives and maybe that could help us in our quests for lucidity?
Yeh, so there's another problem such that i can't read a book very fast, and I can't read a lot in one go since its tiring, like what happens when you watch too much TV.
Same here RWJ42, just that you're so fortunate (I'm so envious of you all) that you can chose when and when not to lucid, and have no side effects.
However I can only remember it clearly if I think about it when I awake (and it must be At the instant moment I awake)..
Erm..as for Codename suggestion, I'm not sure if you all can spot any distinct differences (since the way I LD seems totally different than how you all LD)....
but no harm trying.
I normally will get higher lucidity, when I keep thinking about the things I want to accomplish, picture it out and join it into a situation in my mind just before I fall asleep.
(but I don't bother to do that, as its boring since I'm quite tired of luciding 'without my permission') and its definitely Every Night without fail..-sigh-
The guy has a good idea here. People like this just don't naturally LD for no reason at all, they have a different mindset than we do, they are internally more aware of life, things like that.Quote:

Athough I still don't understand why is there a need to RC before knowing that you all are in your dream or reality.
I thought it to be quite obvious when you try to do something in your dreams, its different..
Sometimes it's easy to distinguish. Sometimes it is just a mental crutch. Although in my first lucid dream, I was so surprised to find out the inane task I'd been doing was in a dream. lol. The task was something about vacuuming tons of stuff off of a pool table. Perhaps it is because I get extremely focused on doing the task rather than asking why. Although in reality (lol what is real), I often contemplate philosophical and existential debate in my mine idly.Quote:

After I wake up, it is definitely easy to tell that it was a dream.
