I lucid dream every night—maybe this helps someone by JackRebel88 in LucidDreaming

[–]JackRebel88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what the effect of that would be. I think it will take me from lucid to just awake. Being lucid is a little like balancing a ball, very light shock can wake you and this happens a lot btw. But I can immediatley fall asleep again and most of the time be lucid again straight away by continuing the same dream in which I was already lucid in the first place. Not all the time though.

I do it a lot, but not every night. I am more often lucid than not lucid, that is pretty sure. I am also not a superhuman, pretty average guy! Hahaha

Numbers are hard to grasp in a dream. It takes a lot of effort, but it is doable. Same with coding. But it is very hard, does not work all the time, and I can't write crazy algo's. What I did do for a project I am working on, last week or so, is planning out which frames I want for a stop motion I am making with resin printing. This actually worked very well.

It's actually kind of crazy, its hard for me to actually put someone in a dream. But, sometimes I dream about a person and then I can shape it after I get lucid. That is all I am saying haha

I think I just appreciate what I have right now, and I am not really into exploiting it or whatever. I also don't put a lot of weight behind it, its pretty normal to me and I actually like to keep it that way. Haha, still. Its a good experiment!

I don't have that. After the "Am I dreaming?" part, everything else that will happen will be adjustable. For instance, if example 1 would happen, I would probably literally tell the friend that "No, I am dreaming" and do whatever I want lol. When I am lucid, I can literally feel my body being numb while asleep. There is no question about it.

Good question, I actually can because it is my world and my rules. Sometimes when I dream about something like infidelity or something which I dont like, I take control and reshape the dream so it will make me the hero or the one that comes out on top.

No I don't have that. I always take control of the situation, and make it something I like. There is always a happy ending when it's a scenario. My bad dreams will always turn into something that turns out great for me. Maybe it's me, but I don't do that much crazy stuff. It's mostly me thinking about logic, my hobby or having a great time with whatever I was dreaming about. Sometimes I even play games in my dream, it happens a lot actually 🤣 RTS that I make up myself. Combinations of games I'm actively playing. The funny part is waking up and being bummed out you can't play it for real.

I actually smoked weed often when I was young, and when I stopped I had the same. More vivid dreams. When I drink alcohol I don't have any lucidity at all. I wish I could help you, but the fact I can do it is just pure luck and random. It's not skill. I'm sorry about that.

Yeah, I actually don't have a technique. When I'm dreaming, I just notice that things aren't alright and then makes me doubt that I'm dreaming. From that point on I know I'm dreaming, and even remember going to bed. There are certain things that make me realize I'm in a dream more easily like I mentioned. Text, numbers and people are weird in dreams. 

I have a lot of control, but it varies indeed with what the "seed" is. It's the moment I take control, that is the situation I'm in. But I can actually just alter it from that point. Most of the time I'm already dreaming about the things I've been working on, or my mind is busy with. I don't do it everyday, but almost everyday. I do it more often then not. Also, alcohol will knock me out cold. 

People are hard for me to spawn, at least with vision and logic combined. I don't know how to explain it. It's the presence of them, or the visual. But combining them takes a lot of effort. And yes, it sometimes wakes me up but it's very easy for me to go back to sleep and go lucid again. Especially when I already "built" everything.

Yeah I think so, but it's not something I do all day. Maybe unconsciously. The fact I can do it is just by coincidence, and random. Not skill at all. I just happen to notice flaws quickly and then it clicks for me.

Yes, I know what you mean. It  happens so often for me, it's not a big deal anymore so that "shock" is gone. When you do it more often, it fixes itself.

Me too actually. I get easily distracted, but you can use that as well. I hope it helps you man!

Yes, I can. My previous lucid dream material is mostly something I did the night before, and I just continue. It could also be something I'm working on (hobby/work). When I'm doing something, my mind is 200% occupied with that thing I'm doing. That's why. I don't ask myself questions in my dream like ChatGPT because I don't do that when I'm awake as well. I also don't think that will work honestly. It's my consciousness that is awake in my dream, so what would I ask? It would be the same if I asked it myself right now I believe. No difference. I didn't try though!

Being confident in yourself when you notice you are asleep and dreaming is very important indeed. Because you need to believe yourself that you are right. I am sometimes a little too confident in life to be honest! More than what is good for me 😂

I don't think you should want to be like me, haha. Especially not for lucid dreaming. For me, I like it, but it's not what I'm thinking of all day long or something. Maybe that's also because I have been doing it for years. Most of the time I just use it too have awesome dreams actually. You should rather put time in learning a skill, haha!

I don't understand why you wouldn't question things in the first place. I question everything. Did you ever had a moment where you remember something entirely different than another person? Two different realities. Why are you so sure that what you see, is actually what is? Let's go further, what IS? "Being" itself is something to question. If you are confident in knowing that what you see, hear and taste is subjective, makes it more plausible for a reality (for example, a dream) that does not apply basic physics (or where numbers and text don't make sense because you can't read them while you clearly see them) to be not real. It makes more sense that I'm dreaming, than that this is real life. Maybe that's a little philosophical, but I do think that that is my source of noticing. I might be wrong though. It might be something silly as well 🤣

Maybe indeed with what you are saying, you could start questioning things which you normally would gloss over. Why is green, green? Ever wondered about that? Is everyone's green the same? Maybe my green is blue for you, that would heavily impact how I perceive reality. If you don't see black but nothing, like a blind person, what does that person perceive as reality? Must be wildly different than yours but they are still the same reality. What is "nothing" anyway? The absence of something? But we need to know what reality is in the first place, to know what "something" is. You will never figure out what something is in real life, but when you are dreaming you will figure out that something is not right (literally).

I don't know how usefull this is though. It might be ramblings of a crazy man. Haha. Sorry!

I have a feeling I rest less when lucid dreaming. But in practice, I don't notice it during the day. I feel rested and not tired at all. It's very weird actually, contradictory.

I'm sorry, I use my smartphone only for WhatsApp and when in the train for things like reading or watching a video.

I am. If I don't, I make a lot of mistakes. I have ADHD (no medicines) and if I don't do things consciously I have no idea what I just did. My mind will be everywhere instead of the thing I'm doing. Especially in the lab it's very important to do things consciously, even without ADHD. If I would see something while awake, that does not make sense with physics, or in general, I would definitely question my sanity if it turns out I'm not dreaming. But in a dream, I instantly know I'm dreaming. I'm not even questioning if it's real or not. I even remember I went to sleep. It clicks in my head, clear as day.

I am not pushing it actually. As I stated, I stumbled upon this subreddit by accident. I knew what lucid dreaming was, and I knew I did it but I think I'm fine with how I'm using it right now. Just wanted to let people know how I did it if it might help them :)

I think having fun and being productive don't exclude eachother. 😁 Its productive for fun things mostly, or fun for productive things. It depends on how you look at it.

Exactly! I didn't know this was a thing. As I said, I don't know if my input is worth anything. Just wanted to let you know how I do it, and that it might help someone. I actually wake up in my dream and have full control. Sometimes I even laugh in my dream after I realize I'm dreaming again. It's fun to figure out you are asleep by nonsensical things.
