First Lucid Dream? Long Post.

[gan_naire]

I have had numerous dreams that were so real that I thought I was lucid dreaming, I mean I could feel, smell, taste, everything was just so real. However I could never control my dreams, it was more like I was watching a movie that already had a script, and I was watching it through my eyes as if I were the main character. The dreams that I was always able to remember the best were the ones that involved a lady, she has been in quite a few of my dreams. Always the same facial features, body type, sound of her voice, eyes, the only thing that always changes is her hair style and color. In all my past dreams with her its always been in a public place, and we were never alone. But in all my dreams I knew that she was my lady. In one dream she is nursing my hand, apparently I had broken it, in the dream I remember saying that he deserved it. In another dream that I had after that one, I was in a bar, she walks in with alot of her friends and we both see each other, but her friends like drag her away from my direction. I remember getting mad that her friends didnt like me, and getting up and walking behind her, noticing a really cool tattoo on her back. I grabbed her by the arm, turned her around and asked her "are you my girl or not", she said yes, and we both started walking out of the bar. A male friend of hers, maybe an ex, came up starting stuff with her in front of me, it escalated and he raised his hand like he was going to hit her. Thats when I tackled him to the ground and began to pound on him. I remember actually watching his face go from normal to bloody, and I could almost feel my hand hitting his face. I got pulled off of him, and was told that it wasnt fair since I was a MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter and he wasnt. That was the end of that dream. Ive had many other dreams that had her in it, but like I said they were more like a scripted movie than a controlled dream. Up until Saturday I hadnt had a dream with her in it for about 6 weeks. Instead I had alot of other various dreams that seemed realistic, some were pretty cool, some were just weird. Saturday night I had a dream and I was in a room alone with her, I remember the dream in great detail, I recorded it in a journal, but in the beginning of the dream its like Im just standing there in front of her. I look at her and its like in my dream I say or think "hey, its her, where the hell am I", I start looking around and the room we were in I have never seen before but it was like a bedroom. I saw a mirror on the wall, went up and looked into it and saw my reflection, have to say I looked pretty good, haha. But I did look alot different than I do now, I was alot more toned and had like no fat on my body, I had all the tattoos I have right now, and then some more. She said something that got my attention and I turned around and started talking to her. At this point my dream wasnt like the others, in the sense that it was like a movie or something. It was like real life, I was able to think on my own, talk on my own, act on my own, etc. It was exactly like I was controlling it. I could ask her a question and she would answer it, I could touch her, and she would react to it. I mean it was just so freakin awesome. Im not going to go into a whole lot of detail, you know, but anything I wanted to do, I was able to. And she wasnt like a lifeless doll, she was real, and it was like she acted on her own too. Now with what I just described, would you guys say that up until Saturday nights dream, I had never had a lucid dream? I've been reading up alot on lucid dreams, recalling them, how to have them, etc. And one thing that is always mentioned is to have a sign, one were you know for a fact that you are dreaming. Alot of places give exercises to do throughout the day, still have never done them, will now though, if it means I can have more lucid dreams. But it was like the dream was almost going to start out like a movie, until I saw her. Once I saw her, I knew I was dreaming, and yet it was still so lifelike and detailed. I know this was a real long post, but I wanted to describe the dreams I have had with her in it, then describe the possible lucid dream. I am wondering if the dream I had on Saturday with her in it, would be considered a lucid dream. If that is what a lucid dream is, then that will have to be the first one I have ever had that I can remember. I mean I have never been able to control my dreams, ever. Also, is there really a way to have a lucid dream, one that you want? Like if I wanted to have another lucid dream with her in it, so that I can spend more time talking to her, getting alot of detail on her, and get more visualization on her, because I know how to draw anime/manga figures and I would like to be able to remember in detail what she looks like, so I can draw her, and write down the information that goes with her. Kind of like a profile of my dream girl.

Sorry for the double post, each time I had to log in and I though it didnt go through.

If u knew you were dreaming it's a lucid dream,regardless of the control, and yes you can summon her in a different dream.

[gan_naire]

How do I become able to do that? Honestly the dream I had of her recently was just awesome, to be able to control it was just cool.

If you're talking about summoning the girl then try opening a door and expect her behind it or turn around and expect her there.

I guess I am just way too new at this whole thing, I mean I have been reading alot of posts, including a post I found titled Summoning People, honestly like I said up until Saturday, I have never been able to control in any way a dream I was having. It sounds like I actually need to learn how to obtain a lucid dream, and how to explore and function in one as well. Maybe if I know how to have one and function inside of one, maybe then I can move on to learning how to summon a person, or do whatever else I might think of in a dream. Right? Also another quick question, I have heard that it is possible to practice things or study things in your lucid dreams, and actually be able to wake up knowing what you just practiced. Like one guy told me that after learning how to have lucid dreams, he practiced his karate techniques in his lucid dreams with an instructor that he made up, the instructor had all the knowledge I guess, but he said that after doing this every time he had a lucid dream, he got better and was able to pull off the techniques he wasnt able to before he dreamed about it. Now this sounds like a lie to me, but once I was driving on my way home listening to a metal mix cd, I sang along to them the best I could, which just sucked in general, but I tried. I seriously couldnt get the scream or the growls down. I got home to find that a DVD I ordered that was called The Zen of Screaming, obviously its a DVD to help teach how to sing metal music. I watched the DVD and played around with the exercises, got a pinch better at it, but not enough to classify a difference. That night I dreamt that I was practicing in my room, just sitting there letting the information sink in and practicing the techniques. I woke up, and when I went back to sleep eventually I had a dream that I was in my truck and I was driving, listening to the same cd, and this time when I was singing along, I sounded just like the singers. I mean I could scream and growl all the metal songs. Well I woke up not really thinking anything of it, and went about my morning ritual, eat, shower, shave, crap, get clothed for work all while listening to some kind of music blasting throughout the whole house. I get in my truck, same cd still in it, same one I dreamed about, and I drive to work. I start to sing along to it, at first it was the same as before, it sucked, badly. Then I remembered the techniques I practiced while dreaming, I put those techniques, such as head position, opening up my lungs and not using my throat, and then it was like second nature to me. Like I had been practicing for a long time, and I sounded pretty damn good too. Still wasnt sounding like I did in my dream, but right away there was a huge, I mean huge difference. I have never had a dream like this again, even though I have tried, just to see if it was a freak accident that it happened and it worked, but I have tried with other things, like guitar, bass, drawing, knife throwing, mechanics, etc. It never has worked again.
