Did any of you ever try to lucid dream?

It happened once or twice by accident. The first time, I was taking a nap in a bedroom on the second floor of a beautiful beach house we rented for the winter, and when I tried to wake up, I began to float up above my body. I couldn't control the floating, but made it up to the ceiling, and I still remember the ornate crown moldings up there in intricate detail. I found that if I used my "hands", I could move, and I wasn't a bit afraid.

Instead, I experimented and found that I could move out into the hallway, and I thought that was super cool! I remembered that the second ex had been sitting downstairs in the living room, and I wondered if I could make my way down there and scare the sh!t out of him. I thought maybe he would be able to see me!

I pulled myself down the hall to the stairs, and there was a bend in the stairs just there...and as I tried to pull myself downward I was forcibly snapped right back into my body. As I was "whooshed" back, I could sort of sense or see a silver cord connecting me to my own body on the bed.

My dreams are really fucking crazy I try not to encourage them

yes i've done it a few times. i saw a youtube video about it, and then that night when i was asleep i remembered to look at a clock to see if i could tell time. the clocks are never right in dreams. or look for a book, the words are all messed up in books in dreams. and once you realize you are dreaming you can fly and do whatever you want.

I like my dreams to just happen even though the idea of controlling them sounds cool.

I did it a bunch if times before i knew it was a thing

I have lucid dreamed they’re the best kind of dreams.

Yes, and to this day I’d still love to do it, but it never happened for me. Well not except in one nightmare, where it didn’t do me any good

I did a long time ago, successfully even a few times! But now? I get so anxious or excited when I realize I’m dreaming g that I wake up.

Yes, every day.

Yes with mixed results. It's simple enough for me to attain the point of being fully aware that I'm in the dream state but more difficult to manifest what I want to dream .

Yup. I routinely do.

Yeah it happens whenever i tell myself i want it to happen before i fall asleep. However its not real lucid dreaming. I doubt anyone can actually fully lucid dream because its a different part of the brain that decides what youre going to dream. I can sometimes control what happens, i understand that its a dream, but at the same time i try to phone my mother into real life because i know im dreaming... Yeah work that one out.

Yes. I have a process to get there, but it’s not the most restful sleep.

Yes, but I haven't had any success trying to make it happen. I've had a handful of lucid dreams and they are so incredible.

I don't think it's something you can try and achieve.

Yes, but not so much lately

They came without trying.

No. It used to just happen. It's been years though

No but that's interesting

No 😐

I went through a phase several years ago where I was intentionally trying to lucid dream. It's to the point now where I can tell I'm dreaming, and sometimes I let the dream play out the way it wants to, and sometimes I intentionally take control. I often have more fun just seeing where it's going.

A recent example from a couple of months ago is, I was talking to my dad in a dream, trying to explain something to him. He wasn't getting it, and I had to repeat myself several times. At one point, I realized I was dreaming, said screw this, jumped off the couch, and flew out the window into the sky.

When I was younger I did try to, but was never able to pull it off.

I think I did have a semi-lucid one, I don't remember which decade it happened though, and I don't recall anything about it

I remember in the late 80s I had an issue of Omni magazine with an article about lucid dreaming and did try for awhile to make it happen, but during that period it never worked
