I've noticed a handful of posts on here referencing dreams in various forms and it occurred to me it might be interesting to see how many people on here are interested in their own inner space.

Muahahahahaha! Spread! SPREAD LUCID DREAMING!

I'd like to think that I was instrumental in the spread of lucid dreaming on SW, but it sounds like you already knew about it. :P

I've been hardcore into lucid dreaming for the past couple of months. I have around 5 a month, usually only a couple minutes long. But, it's getting really irritating, because I haven't had one in like a week and a half, despite almost constantly thinking about it and doing everything possible: all day awareness; meditation; reality checks; questioning where I am and why, etc. Even to the extent of waking up after 4.5 hours with WBTB. WILD never works for me, though I've had great progress with SSILD. SSILD seems to enhance awareness every single time. And it's very idiot proof.

I love lucid dreaming. I think it is a profound, existential marvel. It is heaven on Earth, to me. No matter what happens in my life: I will master lucid dreaming.

Hah, far from learning it from here. I've been lucid dreaming for over a decade (started in my early teens) and while I don't particularly like bragging myself up, I think it's not inaccurate to say I've mastered the practice. I remember a solid 90-98% of my dreams(about one for every hour of sleep) and can effectively gain lucidity at any time without any need for a reality check, simply by recognizing the sensation of being in a dream. Though I do enjoy just going for the ride and just letting the subconscious go where it may often times, it can be rather relaxing. And if things get a little out of hand then I can rein them back in without any real effort.

It is absolutely a transcendental and deeply spiritually and personally rewarding experience. You come to know yourself at your deepest levels and can really start to understand the whys of your own actions and how your own mind perceives the world. Though it certainly does take a deep honesty with oneself and willingness to accept what you find, not to mention the understanding that your experiences are yours and solely yours. There is nothing more personal than a dream and no one will be able to truly understand what your dreams mean but you and don't ever let anyone tell you or try to imply otherwise. There's an awful lot of nonsense out there in text in the form of "dream interpretation" and that business.

@UndeadPrivateer: Damn. Do you have any tips on remembering dreams or obtaining lucidity? I have around 5 per month, but despite a shitload of effort, I only remember 1-2 dreams per night and the lucid dreams only last a couple minutes. Or seconds. :/ ive been working hard on it for 3 months, but this is as far as ive gotten. :/

I had many times, once I had one then I went to one shop in dream, there I ate alot of free chocolates since we shouldnt pay in dream. In another lucid dream , I was jumping beside the river then I decided to jump in the river and I jumped, as soon as I jumped, I felt cold and woke up.

I had a lucid dream last week. It was the first time in years. I was in this space between dreams. I pushed the dimensions outward by will and began filling the space with whatever occurred to me, lightning quick in the dream state. Rainbows of glass, swarms of flying drinking horns.

I have a couple times, but I usually don't.
