We humans spend so much of our lives dreaming.

What if you could control your dreams? Regain control over all that 'lost' time?

Go anywhere, meet anyone, do anything that your mind can think up!

It's called Lucid Dreaming, and the process is very learnable.

Here are some links to tell you how to do it:

http://www.dreamviews.com/learnable.php

I recommend starting with the tutorials on dreamviews then reading the forums on ld4all.

Once you master a technique, the process becomes extremely enjoyable!

Good luck!

Never heard of it....

I first came across the idea of lucid dreaming with an E-book by Dr.Lefarge or whatever his name is.

I have heard that it is also another way to have an astral projection. Where you can have an OBE (Out of Body Experience).

Yeah, people report all sorts of odd experiences while trying to master lucid dreaming.

Reports of OBEs, meeting other people in the dream world that are dreaming at the same time, sleep paralysis, practicing real-world events in order to improve performance in them, signalling to the real world from the dream world (by way of eye movements) and all sorts of crazy stuff.

Oh wow, I've had dreams like that before, I LOVE them, it's so amazing, I always get really mad when I eventually wake up

Article mentioned sleep paralysis, I had that happen to me... Now that is not fun, it was really one of the worst experiences I've had though, much different...

Lucid dreaming, though the concept sounding very extra ordinary and catchy, I would not dvelve in it until I am in the clear aof any side effects of it. Controlling your dreams and what you do in it and the Out of body experience that you may have may be really fascinating but considering what Radioactive said a few pages back, that once you are very much into the dreams part, You may become really addicted to it and may be wanting to go to the dream state again affecting your real world. Theres another thing about sleep paralysis and as Voidless Shadows mentioned that he had it once or something. I may advise the people that though very much fascinating, please check all the possibilities of it affecting you before trying it. Don't do it just for kicks and fun. It may be hazardous to you.

Lucid dreaming scares me. i would hate to not know the difference between the 2. I mean think about it, if you had to pinch yourself everytime you wanted to make sure you were awake. Or be walking down the street and see someones face melt off..... I mean could you honestly be able to tell the difference? What if you thought you could fly and wound up diving into a brick wall? The whole idea of it jst scares me

People tend to think it is just a myth and is merely "impossible". It's not, it IS real. They don't concentrate well enough and really don't believe. I think its the 90 hour long parties that do it aswell

I've just finished a Psychology class at a community college and nothing was ever said about learning lucid dreaming. I personally don't think you can just learn it and just decide that you're going to have a lucid dream. Most of my dreams are lucid dreams, yet I haven't done anything to "make" myself get them. This is just another pseudoscience that can't be proved in any way.

Yes, stressful dreams can be caused by television too. Watching too much tv can just imprint a thought into you and will just haunt you in your dreams.

Don't watch TOO much tv, you can become very stressful.

Same thing goes for anything if you did it for the majority of the day. You can play video games to much and then that will be the only thing going through your mind and you can't get it out. (i speak from personal experience)
