My first (almost) lucid dream

Sphinx998 · 2012-05-25T09:14:27.887652+00:00

It is one of the weaker RCs.

Great topic for the Lucid dreaming speculation subreddit.

tRedditAccount · 2012-05-25T08:48:31.027326+00:00

Have a great forum where people can post, discuss, and upvote...hey, wait a minute!

Absolutely, without a doubt a lucid dream. Control is separate from lucidity.

This is a great method. You don't actually have look in the middle of your forehead--you can just look up with the same result. (Less strain this way too.) I think the reason this works do well is because of two things. It disorients you away from associating with the position of your physical body. Holding the eyes up is also similar to holding your hand up to stay conscious, but less likely to break the WILD.

I can think of no reason for ever wanting to end a lucid dream early.

In the seventies, I was a voracious reader of the comics in The New Yorker. (The magazine rack in church had lots of them and it was the only thing I could--sometimes--grasp.)Your style reminds me of those.

From your post, I have to say that you really need to pay more attention to class.

Question 1: If you mean become lucid, then yes, that is what this subreddit is about.

Question 2: You can include dreams from the past, but the recent ones will be better for finding dreamsigns and putting down your recent dreams will help with recall.

Question 3: Yes, emotions can be dreamsigns. For me, fear and surprise are dreamsigns.

Question 4: Yes. Dreams can be as convoluted as you can comprehend and possibly more so.

It was normal in the sense that stuff like that happens. The part where it "became really real" is very normal. If you read the "I did it" posts, you see people trying to explain the same thing. The fear is no necessary, of course.

pig3onkick3r · 2012-05-24T13:05:44.353191+00:00

If I am in a dream and I question it, I know immediately. I rarely do reality checks in dreams anymore because once I think to do it, I no longer need it.

beaner_clone · 2012-05-24T06:03:32.246673-07:00

I have only read one serious study that included binaural beat and it found they had no effect on lucid dreaming.

Techniques are absolutely fine and none need to be left out. What needs to be left out is attributing any of it to spiritual phenomenon. /r/astronomy and and /r/astrology have different subreddits for a reason and so do /r/LucidDreaming and other less scientific subreddits.

I'm sure that no one here has a biased opinion on the Remee.

But seriously. A large DC named Brent could get in your face and threaten to kick you in the balls until you do a reality check and without preparation, you'd still not get lucid. However, with proper preparation, the Remee will increase your lucid dreaming rate. If you've never had one, it should make it much more likely that you have one. Without prep, flashy lights in dreams are just flashy lights in dreams.

FAQ #4 is the answer to everything you want to accomplish in a lucid dream. That may be overstating it, but it certainly applies to your problem.

I read the fundie in a variety of voices, but they all sounded really creepy.

Legendary_Hypocrite · 2 days

You were fine, they just read negativity into your comment. There is a tendency here to abuse anyone who suggests the app isn't perfect.

Next would be a reality check. Always RC before you decide it didn't work.

Eminian · 3 days

I haven't done this but some people claim to have.

nootdude · 3 days

It's normal. However the part you interpret as OBE is actually the lucid dream having already started.

Check the sidebar for /r/luciddreamingspec. This subreddit is science-based.

WILD tends to not work when you first go to bed. Do WBTB/WILD in the early morning.

For MILD, check out the QuickStart guide in the sidebar.

Not uncommon. It should not be a problem. The only problem I see is believing that it will be a problem.

I'm guessing the the control data sample size too small to know for sure.

I can say "regrets having to have sold" to mean the same thing.
