I am able to lucid dream, but I don't know how to make it happen, it just does when it does. It's something I kind of enjoy sometimes don't, but interesting nonetheless. And what good is a brain, if we don't poke at it?
I have them more than ever these days and they are never frightening. They started when I began a particular medication and there was a warning about this side effect with them. Sometimes they are very real, but at the same time I know I'm dreaming which is weird. One or two stay with me as memories for days.
I can never dream on demand, so I would be interested to hear what happens.
I have lucid dreamed before, but very seldom, and I can't control when it happens. I would like to do it more, but it seems it's happening is not up to me.
I learned to induce REM. Once a person becomes good at doing that. Lucid dreaming is second nature. I trace the alphabet from a to z with my eyes closed by moving my eyes as the shape of the letters. Then switch to tracing from 0 to 420 in the same way (research shows the average person falls asleep after 7 minutes uninterrupted); all else equal. Then do the alphabet z to a and from 420 to 0 in the same way. Once you get accustomed to doing this you will be able to lucid dream easily. Have fun.
Who doesn’t like the ability to consciously navigate and control there dreams. 💁🏼♂ It's like being the director of your own subconscious movie, where you can script, edit, and replay scenes at will. When you lucid dream, you're aware that you're dreaming, and you can manipulate the narrative to explore your deepest desires, confront your darkest fears, or simply fly through the skies with reckless abandon. The question is, what would you do if you could lucid dream tonight? 🤔 Poke it poke it 🙌🏻
Occasionally usually just before waking up. A specific feature is that you can feel touch which can be interesting with erotic lucid dreaming. I usually wake up just as things are getting interesting. I also get sleep paralysis with hypnogogic auditory hallucinations.
Also ill play sudoku for a while as im falling asleep. Creating a routine while falling asleep lets your subconscious become aware you are asleep. Then youll gain control of your dreams bc youve trained yourself to know you are asleep. Then let your imagination run wild.
