Comment on Your First Lucid Dream by Nicholas

I’ve been having recurring dreams of a certain girl for quite some time now. She, with the long, blonde hair and green cat-like eyes, would always appear just before or during a flood, whether it be severe or not. On one occasion, she commanded me to drown a chicken (weird, yeah). Every dream seems to be a continuation of the last. This girl is certainly evil, but I feel quite attracted to her. Since these dreams, I’ve loved no one else, and I’ve felt my mind slipping away. A friend recommended Lucid Dreaming to me, saying that I could ask her who she was. I was skeptical; if it were a lucid dream, and I spoke to her, then my subconscious, or my conscious mind, would control what she said. Some friends think she’s a ghost (I’m also skeptical of that), and that I would have no control of her regardless.
I’ve been trying Wake-induced techniques, but the farthest I got was to the point where I heard dream noises; ducks quacking, music boxes, screaming, and flowing water. Then everything fades away, I shift my position slightly due to in involuntary muscle twitch, and I fall into a non-lucid dream.
These techniques seem like the easiest to follow thus far, and I will embark on another journey to lucidity tonight. Even if I can’t unravel the mystery of this lucid dream, I plan to go on great adventures with this dream-girl of mine. If I can’t ask her questions for some reason, I plan to make a carbon-copy of myself to represent my subconscious mind, so that I can connect to the other half of my brain.
Sorry for the wall-of-text, but wish me luck.

I recently seen a video..that mentioned to lucid dream you just need to basically request it from urself..go to bed saying I am going to lucid dream..I said it to myself a few times and forgot about it..2 weeks later I found myself in what im assuming was a lucid dream…except in my dream i got an overwhelming clarity that what i was experiencing was real..I was seeing details crystal clear and realizing I was in the moment of a dream but the feeling I had and the way I was seeing things were unbelievable..im sorry its hard to put images n feelings into words..but I was aware in the dream that my physical body had goose bumps from the feelings I was having in my dream..it was awesome..I never thought it wud happen for me..I hope it happens again

Shivali and Zac: I think what you experienced is the early stages of OOBE (out-of-body experiences) which, if you conquer your fear of them, will lead to many fabulous dreams of being able to fly. You’ll then visit places you’ve never seen or imagined before, and gain the ability to control the speed and height of your flight. I love when I have those dreams, whether in full flight or just a few inches elevated and running over the sidewalks at great speed as if my feet have wings At the end of one of those OBEE’s, I am often awakened by the feel of the downward bump when I land back on my bed.

Kayla, take it from a voice of experience (I have three grandchildren who are more than twice your age) you are not crazy and have no reason to be scared. Your experiences are not actually lucent dreams, since you are unable to change or alter them, but pre-teens often have greater ESP-potential than older persons. It is somewhat of a gift, which will unfortunately decrease in the next few years. Meanwhile, don’t be afraid of these experiences, you’ll look back someday soon and say, “Wow! Was I really able to do that?” There are many psychic abilities and talents that are not fully understood, but if they should remain part of your personality, encourage them. They can provide you with mental acuity that will help you in adult life.

Dreamer, I think you and many of the other posters are confused about the difference between concious dreaming and lucent dreaming. When you do have a true lucent dream, you’ll know what I mean. Far from frightening, they are a most enjoyable and exciting experience, especially when you are able to control the actions. No, you can’t be injured, but if it’s only a normal dream, it could be scary. Scientifically, it is impossible for you to actually die in any dream. Your brain will wake you before that can happen.

Katie, if I saw William Turner (the luscious Orlando Bloom) in one of my lucent dreams, I sure wouldn’t attack him with a sword. I’d manipulate the action into a much more sexy and romantic situation! And I’d murder anyone who woke me up before I was ready.

I’ve read through a whole year of comments on this website, and I’d like to start by saying I believe you may be slightly confused. “Concious dreaming” is fairly common, and merely means that at some level, you are aware that you are in a dream. “Lucent dreaming,” much more unusual, means that you can actually manipulate or determine the path and/or details of your dream. I’ve been a lucent dreamer for more than 50 years, but only in the last couple of years have learned that it has a name, and is not the normal dream behavior. My lucent dreams have increased dramatically with time, and now are in spectacular 3D and technicolor. Many have recurring themes, and take place in the same or similar settings. I also now, within some of the dreams, recall and refer to details from earlier dreams. I write poetry, outline novels, create riddles and anagrams in my sleep, some of which I remember but many that are vague in the morning. These dreams always occur in the hour or hours before I awaken, and I can remember vividly most of what happened, without need to journal them. I am often reluctant to wake up, I want to remain in the dream. I also sometimes awake and feel that, although they were dreams, I actually lived them – like I was really there (perhaps in some former life.. but that’s another story!)

When i was little i had a dream were i was in my kitchen and William Turner form pirates of the Caribbean was there and i jabbed him with a sward (i don’t know why) and then i said to him “don’t worry this is just a dream” and he kept saying it wasn’t.
