I had this weird dream a few days ago.
I was in this part of a city that had just been built recently, and I saw one of my friends. The friend had a dog with him, and if the dog acted up he could just stare at the dog and it would stop. I went over to say 'hi' to my friend, and the dog (who didn't like strangers or something) started barking at me. My friend was able to stop it, but about 15 seconds later the dog attacked me. It pinned me to the ground and was trying to bite my face.
And then I woke up. It was kinda scary, to be honest.

Still no lucid dreams for me so far. I've been able to write about 10 of my dreams so far though.

I do the most boring things when I lucid dream i.e what I do when I usually wake up which is check my phone and laptop.
Then I wake up, in bed, and everything is unchecked...

It gets me really confused haha, I find it really hard to tell the difference between reality and dreams recently  

"In mine, I opened my eyes and there was some kind of skinny, rotted human that was hunched over, and it was staring at me. It started panting and then crawled towards me and I tried to scream and thrash but I couldn't, and then I blacked out."

This is exactly why I'm afraid to lucid dream. Other than that, I really want to try it.

^yea pretty much. I always twitch a bit when I remember that.

when I was like 4, I knew I was dreaming. I, however did not know I could do what I wanted
so, I couldent make anything awesome apear. not even a bag of doritos. and I wasn't obsessed with vocaloid back then, because I didn't know it was real, so I couldent even be hatsune miku

"Once I get into a state of almost falling asleep sometimes I randomly spaz out and feel like I'm falling."

I have this, and it really sucks because then it's hard to get back to almost falling asleep. My sis actually looked this up and said that like 60% of people have it. I looked it up, too, and it's called a hyptic jerk.

"1. Try jumping in the air. During most dreams, you are able to fly or jump insanely high without injuring yourself when you land. (This is probably one of the most effective ways to make your brain realize you are in a dream.)"

What if it turns out you're not dreaming and you jump really high? LOL JK

""Once I get into a state of almost falling asleep sometimes I randomly spaz out and feel like I'm falling.""

Ugh, I do that every other night it seems. Never knew what it was called. I had heard an old wives tale or whatever you'd call it saying that it was astral projection. They thought it was your soul trying to float off just outside your body until falling back in causing a bit of a jolt.

Thought that was interesting anyway.

"What if it turns out you're not dreaming and you jump really high?   LOL JK"

Congratulations. You're a superhero. Go join The Avengers.

Clicked the thread because I've been noticing when I'm dreaming lately, but then loud dream noises wake me up.

Now I'm absolutely terrified of sleeping in case I look into a dream mirror. THANKS THREAD.

lucic dreaming isn't really all that special. Its just taking your subconscious and putting in you conscious while you sleep. It has something to do with brain waves and its altered state. you can get the same effects if you are an avid meditator or you take hallucinatory drugs ( I suggest the meditation over the drugs, haha)

I don't have bad dreams. I have wishful dreams. When I have something that I want, but I am too afraid to assert myself or its innapropriate, then I have a reapeated dream over it. They are never bad, just me sorting out my subconscious probelms. If you ever look at a 'non-lucid' dream or a dream you don't mess with, it can actually be a nice therapy to see what your sub is doing in your head.

oh How I Love Lucid Dreams! They are So Fun! I Get them quite often! Apparently I have a sort of sleeping disorder that never lets my brain fully go into sleep mode, and that may be that be the cause of it

I had a lucid dream, I realised when I was walking to the shop in the dream. I decided to do a reality test, where I can always feel if its a dream or real life, and it was a... DREAM! I tried to make a huge bag of chilli heatwave doritos appear, but they didn't appear

Next time try walking into a different room, while expecting to see your Doritos on a table or something.

I've never thought to try manifesting anything from thin air, but I've been able to determine my location when I go through a doorway.

I have a lucid dream every once in a while. I usually use it to give me a social life that I want in reality. The last time I had one (about a week ago), it was so awesome and I was like "I must be dreaming... Oh wait a minute!"

I was having a really crazy dream, and I realised I was dreaming. I then walked into a near-by shed expecting my doritos to be on a table in there. there was a table. NO DORITOS! No fair

^ You were halfway there! Keep trying!

I now get five hours of sleep on average, so no lucid dreams for me!
But usually my dreams are still violent and disturbing, seeing as how I experience that sort of thing daily.

^What goes on during an average day?

Dreaming/astral projection/out of body/etc was always interesting, but I'm too much of a brat to keep trying after I fail doing so.    

Astral stands out due to the whole "angels and demons and immaterial beings, oh my!" aspect of it.  You guys know any astral methods (or am I missing a link up in here)?

*Goes to look up dream-related media*

^^ I get these often.
Actually quite a few nights a week.

Last night I didn't have a dream.
But the past few days I had one about my love, and John Lennon O_O (hes an idol for me~)

"^What goes on during an average day?"

He's in the military.

I'm trying to keep a dream journal, but I rarely remember dreams when I awake.

Haven't been able to remember mine either recently.

Only just thought about it now though, bummer...

I have horrible sleep patterns and on average I receive 4 hours, of sleep during the school week. So whenever I actually have a decent night, I will be so tired that I instantly go into a really deep REM sleep. My dreams are extremely vivid, almost to the point of being lucid but not quite. I would really like to have lucid dreams about things I day dream about.


I'm definitely flagging this, and the journey begins

I used to pull all nighters for several days in a row but things seemed to have improved, since the end of summer.

Sometimes when i'm in the process of reading a book during the day (for school, etc.) and I sleep, i'll be in a half sleep half awake state of mind and my mind will make up parts of the story I haven't gotten too, almost like making a prediction but the things that happen are always pretty bizarre

Any of ya'll ever heard this song? Fits the situation well I have to say.
