Do Lucid dreams even work?

Question

Has anyone ever experienced a lucid dream or knows anyone who has?

Answer 1

Sure. I have a few times. I've said to myself in the dream, I know this is a dream, so I may as well go for it. One of them was a sex dream. Not much happened though because unfortunately I woke up.

Answer 2

Lucid dream is a dream where you know you are dreaming and can control what happens in the dream. I have had quite a few. When I finally realized I was dreaming I got excited and woke up. But they are the best dreams to have. After you've had one you will want to have more.

Answer 3

I have had many lucid dreams.

My first and most significant was a dream where I was traveling somewhere in Africa (where I have never been) and I was on a train looking out the widow, passing about 500 ft from where there were tribes of mostly women hanging tapestries on clothesline-type things and these tapestries were each absolutely brilliant works of art, each different and ornate, beautiful painting-like, indescribable stunning patterns, and I thought to myself: "this is impossible - I know I am dreaming, how do I see these things, am i creating these things instantly in my mind - impossible..." AMAZING.

Answer 4

Yes. Find something you see regularly in your dreams but not in real life. You can just choose something, too, like a certain type of tree. Ask yourself on a regular basis if you are dreaming, even if you know for a fact you are not. Make it a habit to ask yourself once in a while. Tell yourself before you go to sleep that everything you see from that moment on is your dream. Remind yourself often, and look for your "trigger" inside your dream. Usually it will be there. Since you are in the habit of asking yourself, you will do this, and when you are dreaming, you will answer correctly. Look for things that don't jibe with reality: in my first LD, I came across a creature that was pure evil, like the devil, and I realized that (in my reasoning and beliefs) it's not possible for pure evil to exist. Since it didn't work with my view of reality, I suddenly knew it wasn't real. When you discover this, you can do whatever you want. It is SO fun! Good luck!!!

Answer 5

I have had a couple 'lucid' dreams when I was younger. You are pretty much in control of your dream(s). It's a stage between being awake and sleeping in dreamstate. You can 'train' yourself to have lucid dreams. But you can't be afraid of what is happening to you or it won't work.

Answer 6

Yes, they feel real and you seem to understand what is happening if you don't just let it do what ever it wants you can control some of what happens and that's the fun part, one of the best you can have is a flying dream, if you don't panic and wake yourself then you can fly to great heights but beware the feelings feel very real and I have experienced falling because I felt fear when I was flying to high, but I regain control cause I know I can, if you have seen the matrix(movie) its like that but your the star, if you have a fear of heights then don't try to have them, its my understanding that flying like superman(sort of) is a common occurrence in lucid dreams.

Answer 7

Yes, I was once morpheous from the Matrix for a couple of seconds in a dream. I realized this, then decided to levitate, shot a few rounds with the gun I had at no apparent target in a tunnel, and then lost control or woke up.

It was a very short span of lucidity, but I remember it vividly. It was great.

Answer 8

exciting way of describing it. If we flow far remote from the irritating habitual and the crowds of opinions, viewing all of it from the gap, confident, we could see it as a lucid dream interior of yet another lucid dream. after all, in a international the place the regulations of positive judgment are questionable, how do all of us be attentive to if what we see, touch or hear is actual there? How can we define good judgment or certainty? interior the absence of those 2 bases of the international, we could properly anticipate that existence is largely a rely of thought. people are creatures that stay in accordance to the regulations of their own instincts of thought. we are able to keeping lucidity and capacity of comprehension, hence we are nonetheless conscious - hence the LUCID dream. however the bounds of certainty are questionable - hence the dream. If each and every action is in line with own instincts and private concerns of thought, then one act after the different potential one lucid dream interior of yet another lucid dream. after all, we are all objectives interior the dream of a dreamer who's been asleep because of fact the start of time. we are each and all of the lucid products of a dreamer who sleeps on the gate of time. whilst he/she obtains dream lucidity, his/her understanding would be awoken, and whilst looking interior his/her very own objectives, we would be unavoidably confronted with our very own mirrored image. And we will awaken. The dream will end and we will stay interior the organic style of lucidity. :)
