Lucid dreams

[Jamiednm]

Dreams where you become aware that you are asleep and dreaming...anyone experience them?

I have them now and again, it’s great when you realise you’re in a dream, although it’s extremely difficult to manipulate the dream to do what you want to do.

I used to have them quite a lot when I was younger, especially around my teens / early adult life. They also used to often coincide with my EHS which I used to suffer with - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome (yes it's a real thing!).

There's a technique to control them better, plenty of stuff on it to read up on, but I think it robs you of REM sleep, can't remember, either way be sure to make yourself a totem!

Do any of them involve Paulo Fonseca and copious amounts of rum ?

I weirdly seem to wake myself up in my dreams sometimes, maybe this is why, because I know I'm dreaming? I think that thought does go through my head when I do it tbh.

Sadly not. Usually ive just been cursing and shooting profanities in offical and professional meetings and sometimes flewn across the skies like a bird. So cool

This season has been a particular lucid dream from which it's been impossible to wake up.

Especially if you're 'wet'

the concept of 'Incubation' as determined by proto platonic greeks such as Parmenides and Empedocles covers the ideas of lucid dreaming, as a type of healing comtemplation/prayer (original idea of prayer, not to a deity) or meditation.

It may sound heavy n deep n stuff but it's worth a read and follow up.

Yes I used to have them every single night up until the age of about 11. It was because I was so scared to sleep because of recurring nightmares. Eventually I learnt how to lucid dream. It was amazing

Just last night I had a madly lucid one about me, my wife and mums husband sliding on our feet down a really steep hill. Weird.
