Thread: Sexual Energy plus Unbending Intent = Lucid Dreams GALORE

I don't know if anyone is still interested in this 2 years later... but does anyone have anything too report? When I don't ejaculate I think I have more vivid dreams.. but my girlfriend is just not as into tantric sex as I am.

In my experience neither abstinence or regular masturbation is the answer. A more "dynamic" sexual behavior brings more recall and vividness, and those in turn cause lucidity.

I have been able to fly in my dreams on and off for most of my life. Lucid dreaming has been less frequent with maybe 4 or 5 really memorable sessions. This afternoon I had the most intense lucid dream (actually more like a dozen!) over the space of 2 hours, a real milestone for me, considering my history. I had been abstaining from fulfilling my sexual 'desire' for a good 3 days, but there was also a bit of acoustic and thermal environmental disturbances which kind of kept me suspended. Nevertheless the experience was much more crisp yet malleable than previous times. When I eventually got up, I reflected on the possibility of my sexual energy being linked to mental control (i think because I observed/felt, in one of the dreams, energy pulsing through me quite intensely, with emphasis on the groin area. I could control this energy.). Reflecting on this observation in turn led me here!

I would like to continue experimenting before i jump to conclusions, but to comment on the OP, I think there may be a truth to it, otherwise I would not be here sharing my experience with you.

Go or stay in peace

I don't depend on organsmic starvation to have lucid dreams. I have had tons of awesome lucids, meditations, and higher states of consciousness without playing masochistic games. I have heard other people, such as yogis, make the point that depriving yourself of orgasms has spiritual and mental power. Some even preach that you need to avoid communicating with the opposite sex. I have never depended on it. I don't think it's necessary. It's just self-torture.

By the way, lucid dream sex can be arguably better than most waking sex.
