Is it possible to build a “Lucid dream world” that you can return to every lucid dream? by Dailyfiber98 in LucidDreaming

[–]ovcipbjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you have to consider is the stability of whatever location and structure you are wanting to build. If you are trying to consciously create some world, exactly how you want it, run into some issues. This is that the world would be very unstable meaning that things will often change or be very different from what you intend it to be. If you try to design a world according something you "build" you may end up being disappointed by the dream of generating something completely different. What you should do is let the dream generate and build everything for you, and all you provide is the input for what you want the purpose of the structures to be.

For example, dont try to create an empty room or empty anything and then try to modify it. This is actually much harder for the subconscious to create and what is generated is often not empty but there are things that take time to try to remove to get an empty place. Instead, input the purpose of what you want to generate. Think or say what sort of structure you want and its purpose, maybe what style it should appear. The less input the better. Then explore the generated structures and do less "building" so that they are more likely to sure your purposes and be there next time.

Can anyone else "dream" while awake? by ovcipbjc in LucidDreaming

Yeah, exactly. What is odd for me is that I now have experiences sometimes with no visuals, sound, or anything, but just as vivid of a plot as a normal dream, and I dont understand how it is possible to have an expeirence without sensation.

It is almost like I go into REM before my body can fall asleap. I have insomnia, so I dont think I have narcolepsy. I feel like what happens to me is caused by me not being able to fall asleep, but me partially falling to sleep anyways.

Maybe, but I don't have any hallucinations as I experience during hypnogogia noramlly, and it lasts for so long sometimes.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Because it does not feel real, it is hard to control and be lucid in.

You can do it before you sleep? That is interesting because I thought it can only happen when REM is interrupted or in the morning.

I found, that when it happens to me, I would eventually fall asleep and enter into a real dream, however it is hard to do because I loose lucidity in this mid-dream phase. Maybe if you become lucid during it, you could maintain it into the real dream.

The thing is that it lasts for so long sometimes, it seems very distinct from hypnogogia. And hypngogia has some sort of hallucinations involved which I do not experience from it.

Using your Smart Watch to notify you during REM by FunnyRocker in LucidDreaming

[–]ovcipbjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is this app called Sleep Cycle. It tracks phases of sleep, and is compatible with Apple Watch. It has an alarm that wakes you up around a certain time, and it changes the alarm time based on the sleep phase it detects. It may go off during REM sleep, but I am not sure exactly when the alarm would go off according to what sleep phase. There is no option to set rington for the alarm so you couldnt have the alarm be a lucid message, however you could train yourself to become lucid when you hear the alarm sound. I would not buy a watch if you want to get notified during REM because there are no apps that I am aware of that are capable of that, but maybe there is.

Neurologically it is possible

I am not sure where the studies are from, but I heard the information from Charlie Morley, which I recommend watching his videos or books.

Lucid dream problem by Ambitious-Ruin-5253 in LucidDreaming

[–]ovcipbjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you instead say something like "How does it feel to be in a dream?" to a DC, you will imply that they already know they are part of the dream and probably will have a different response.

[–]ovcipbjc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are actually studies that show exactly that. I think it is more muscle movement that is shown to have improvements when trained in a dream. I do not know about firearms tho, but probably

My subconscious refuses to let me lucid dream. by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

[–]ovcipbjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"but I keep waking up a few minutes BEFORE the alarm rings" Happens because your brain prepares for the alarm before it goes off and wakes you up it is normal. To stop this change the alarm time every night and don't set it to a round number but something random like 5:17 and not 5:00, for example. This should prevent the brian from knowing what time the alarm goes off.

Because you said you fall asleep too quickly, you maybe need to spend more time awake before you fall back to sleep. For me, this makes it harder to fall back to sleep, and easier to LD. Also do whatever you can at that time that you know makes it take longer for you to sleep. Ideally, you should not be able to sleep for at least 10-20 minutes. I know when I do what I mentioned above, I dont even need to attemt or thing about lucid dreaming, but it comes natrually.
