Thread: Real Lucid Dreams (the Guide)

You use a Lucid Dream to throw energy balls around.

You know, if you are resigned to such failures of personal imagination and have quite given up on being able to envision any useful application for Lucid Dreaming, then perhaps you should pick up a book or two. Other people's ideas are better than no ideas at all.

So when you are sixty and they ask you what you did with your Lucid Dreaming, you will have more to say then that you throw them all away... with energy balls.

I'm guessing you were talking to me?

obviously you didn't read but about 1-10th of my post, I wasn't lucid at all when i was throwing energy balls at the people, I clearly set markers showing when i became lucid and when it stopped.

anyway thanks for reading my post carefully and then taking your time to make a mindful and thought out response.

BillyBob, another great guide. Thanks. I actuallly tried this in one LD, but I didn't just stop and continues following my friend at the same time, which made it impossible for me to do it right, especially as it was raining, which made it hard to hear any interesting sounds other than rain. Next time I will do it better though.

Billybob... Your my hero.

Yes, thanks for posting this topic. A couple of nights ago in the late morning hours I had a lucid dream. I was getting really excited, so I decided to stop and focus on objects to make the dream stable. Yes, as you said a dream is so much more amazing when it has an incredible amount of detail! In this dream, I remembered a lucid dream Stephen LaBerge had where he looked up to the sky and saw the stars at night, then to clarify the dream he looked down at his feet and the ground, and the dream apparently stabilized itself. So remembering this in the dream, I looked down at my feet. Then I remembered people talking about seeing their hands in a dream (I believe I actually had mistaken that for the rubbing your hands to prolong a LD technique). I looked up again and saw my left hand and it was just incredible. The reality of it was so amazing, and I mostly could see through my hand. Unfortunately, in the dream I forgot that having a fast heart rate can wake you up, and apparently when I saw my hand I remember actually saying "Wow" and then feeling like I had said it in real life because it sounded really loud when I said it, and while considering the ramifications of this, I awoke immediately.

But yes, back to your topic, it truely is a great thing to stop and really amaze yourself with the level of detail that can be attained with the great and powerful mind which we were all given. Good Dreams.

BillyBob, you are a genius!! Worked like a dream... Thanks!

Hay... I do not read that slow!

These tips are great, thank you!
I've wanted to explore my dream world so after I get controll I can continue this technique which should help it last longer, great!

Sticky?

I am definitely going to try to remember to do this, I have trouble with waking up right away and also forgetting parts of my dream experiences....(I'm convinced I will remember, but don't).

This seems sure to help with both.

Smart thinking BillyBob.

I remember doing something like this once. I had a lucid dream (I forgot it because I went right back to sleep) and all I did was breathe in, taking in all the scents, seeing all the colours, kinda' like you said. It was AWESOME, if only I had written it down. : (

I had a semi-lucid last night, I read this guide and i had practiced the techniques a couple of times in real life but it was weird.

I realised 'Wow im dreaming!' and was about to go off and do stuff when i remembered about this. So i looked at everything around me. It was pretty good but then I tried out any powers and none worked... i felt powerless, as if any energy of lucid was gone, though i was still aware i was dreaming.

This could have been because i am sick with diarrhea and didnt get a good nights sleep.

I really need to do this. Both of my lucids in the past month went like this:
I get lucid
OMG I'M GONNA FLY OUT MY WINDOW!!1!
</lucidity>

They weren&#39;t very vivid, so if I figure out my surroundings that should improve, right?

Run Like Hell; That made me laugh out loud... lol. "Yes LUCIDITY&#33;" "Balls... I&#39;m awake."
It happens to so many of us&#33;

Bump/ Update


I just hardcore updated my 2 year old grammar. Hopefully you can read it now (how the hell did you read it before? it was like I was on LSD randomly hitting keys or something )

Tell me what you think/ any grammatical mistakes I made

Read through the whole post again and I found only one grammatical mistake

That&#39;s what could have happened had I taken 30 seconds to ground myself in my new reality.[/b]

I think it&#39;s a strange sentence. I&#39;d say "if I had taken..."

Except for that one the language was good

My best lucid dream followed many of your guidelines. I picked up some maple leaves, and focused on them with all of my senses (I had trouble getting taste, but the others were there). After the duration of the dream, I woke up and remembered every detail, from start to finish.

And I feel jipped when I have weak lucid dreams (the ones where I&#39;m lucid enough to say &#39;I&#39;m dreaming,&#39; and nothing else)... So I do not count them in my signature. xD

This guide is simply amazing. No other words to describe.

I have one final question and I know I should have already be content with my knowledge of the answer to this question at this point, but I&#39;m not:

Will this full-fledged lucid dream be so realistic that if I were randomly placed into it, I would not be able to know the difference between it and reality (with obvious exceptions)? Will it be like I simply blinked my eyes and the scene changed to my bedroom?

[spoiler]God&#33; I hope the answer is yes&#33;[/spoiler]

1) The first thing you should do is acknowledge the fact that everything around you is created singularly by your mind, and that none of it is real in any way other than that your experiencing it alone (with no other entity such as your friends or a ghost or something stupid like that)

2) kneel down and either:
Why did I make this topic?</span>

There seems to be a bit missing?

I love your tutorials by the way.

Yeah when we switched forums awhile back alot of my old posts were messed up...

Unfortunately they're so old that I can't edit them anymore

BillyBob this is great stuff... You rock

"DON'T GO BACK TO SLEEP AFTER HAVING YOUR LD!

if you do go back to sleep (even if you just had the single most vivid lucid dream you've ever experienced in your life), its all going to be forgotten in the morning. You'll remember it as though it were just another normal dream where you said "I'm dreaming."... You don't want that, so follow those steps, and dream lucidly"

Ahhhh so your saying that if i had an LD and i just woke up from it and its 3:am in the morning i shoudlnt go back to sleep?!

Write it down then go back to sleep, but beleive me, when i had my first i woke up at about 2am, i couldnt even go back to sleep for an hour, its THAT amazing. I woke up diddnt even write it down i remembered every detail about it. I was on a high all day.
