I once awoke inside a dream because I plugged my nose and was able to breathe through it (knowing that I couldn't if I was actually awake so I must be dreaming), and then my consciousness shifted and I had the most euphoric feeling, I then went to my balcony and jumped off and started to fly for a few seconds until I snapped backed into my body. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1805432 Denmark 11/19/2011 09:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | most of the times I just dream, knowing im dreaming, but not "aware" that its just a dream, if that makes sence. I have a few false awakenings, and it was one of these that triggered it, i just "knew" that this time it was a dream, its hard to explain. then i looked at my hands, they looked normal at first, then started to "vibrate" and I wanted to sit up to get in to the experience, and it happend :o) I havent been able to redo the experience yet, though I want to. I found a guide I tried to follow, but it havent really worked for me, I was only able to "trigger" it in the false awakening state, and they are not as common as dream, im my case, in most dreams I realize im dreaming, but I fail to take control of it. maybe this will help you. [link to www.wikihow.com] I was looking a lot of times in the mirror while having an OBE and I want to say that your reflection will depend on your level of awareness. The mirror shows your reflection only because you expect it too, the mirror in a OBE is not a mirorr per se. :D Quoting: Anonymous Coward 643083 ah yes ofcourse, its just what I create in that state |

BRIEF User ID: 5609739 United States 11/19/2011 12:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | just had one for the first time, fucking crazy! Quoting: Michael_ wasn't quite what I expected, but im still kinda excited! :D anyone have any experience with this? and also, when I looked in the mirror, I "knew" I was looking at myself, but I looked slightly different, and my mouth was waaay out of sync lol. then a woman appeared behind me in the mirror and I turned to see her, but I woke up as I approached her, this I didnt intend to do, to manifest a woman I mean. also found out that, when I tried to make my walls transparrant to see grass/trees, I made it into the windows desktop background (the XP version) for some reason..well gotta work with that haha. and walking is this state is like walking really fucking drunk, had to create some bars in my room to make it to my bathroom. but a fucking insane feeling to be able to control your dream! :D just wanted to share. Be prepared for a trip down the rabbit hole if you ever step into the mirror...my spirit guide put out his hand and pulled me through, gently, and wow what a trip... I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Storm* User ID: 1199093 United States 11/19/2011 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been practicing lucid for a while now, but I haven't been able to "control my dreams," right when I'm about to enter that state I start to have an OBE (astral projection) and I am not spiritually ready for those. Quoting: spiritcreature Anyways, that sounds like a trip! I think that is what was happening to me one night, an OBE, but I woke myself up. |
~freefalling~ User ID: 1413822 United States 11/19/2011 01:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 5 stars and pin suggest.... i lucid dream all the time, and have since i was young. it started with recurring dreams of these balls of bright light passing through me, first slowly then more quickly. i would lose my breath every time they passed. i was sitting on a platform, in complete darkness, and they would come at me. i would have this dream from the age of 6 or so, until my 20's. i still remember a dream i had when i was two, napping with my dad, when my parents' were still together. but now i dream all the time of a particular town, house by a lake with two staircases and 5 cool bedrooms, a grocery store i usually shop at in my dream, and people. i don't know any of this in my waking life but i wish i could stay there,,,, |

I do, I remeber looking into the mirror to see myself, then she appeared to the side of me, like in one of those asian thriller/spook movies.(she didnt look asian, as far as I recall, but it is hard to remember her facial traits 100% I turned to face her and she looked pretty good! slightly smaller than me, straight black/dark brown hair down to/slightly past her shoulders, and she appeared naked haha :D to bad I woke up when I embraced her ;) I havent seen her in any of my dreams again, not that I remember. |

When I planned to do it, and really focus on it, I got nothing. find a balance between openess and focus I think, and practice/patience. let go of the fear of not being able to return, you will return! and way too fast hehe. Thats my best advice, but then again im a beginner. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 5755251 United States 11/20/2011 08:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Lucid dreams are the best! I only had the experience once and it was sooooooooooooooooo cool! Like something out of a movie. It happened to me after a long period of computer gaming. I'm 50 and started to get into PC games, mainly FPS..I totally believe gaming has rewired my brain. Pay attention to your dreams..great mental healing can occur. |

Pharista User ID: 15351980 06/02/2012 09:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Recently I have become aware I am dreaming and if other people are in the dream I will confront them and tell them/ask them if they realise this is part of a dream. Another thing I do once I am conscious of dreaming is to change a scene or a direction or to become aware if I can see colours, smell, taste etc and then I make a mental note of it for example 'oh so I can feel air on my skin even when I am dreaming'. Lucid dreaming is very new to me, I guess these are the early experiences but I look forward to progressing with it.
