ive had a large increase in LD’s latley. 3 just last night! but the problem is once i become lucid i grow very confused. not excited like i used to be… realizing im lucid is just like realizing someone i know has gotten a hair cut. but i find that i can only stand in one place for a few moments before i begin to lose lucidity. this is a new experience for me. and the only explination i can think of is that i have stopped taking B vitamins and that i have stopped taking mugwort.
ill try to explain it better.
last night i became lucid by noticing that a person was flying. i was like “wow this really is a dream” suddenly i froze. there were several thoughts running through my head. then as the dream began to fade away i tried to spin… the problem was i also tried to look at my hands and several other things i had heard that helps to keep lucidity at once. i became very confused and dropped out of the dream and back into reality.
has anyone else ever experienced this? and more importantly does anyone have any thing that may help me to keep my thoughts ordered?
Hi
Yes,i experience this quite often.Often i am not able to move proberbly or my vision is almost gone.Then i start to “panick” cause i want to stay in the dream,but that doesn´t do any good…
While awake,you should think of only one thing that you want to do when this happens next.Do one technique of your choice,but only this technique.
The last time this happened to me i overcame it with voice commands: “I want clear vision” “lucidity x 1000” and such things…
yea…thats what i normally do… but i was far to confused… but i think i may have identified the source… im sick… quite sick… i have been having fevor dreams every night… right now im running on 1 hour of real sleep and 1 hour of fevor sleep…
so… if anyone cares to have me try some stuff to see how fevor influences dreaming… now the time… i think tonite will be my last bought of it as im going to go get some drugs(from a doctor… not from my street corner) to help combat my illness… but… ill post what i know so far
i have been reading a fantasy book gfor the past few days… i have been reading alot of it because im sick and have nothing else to do… i am finding that i live out the exact same senarios as the characters in the book… but not during normal REM… this is when im still half awake… like when you wake up in the middle of the night to go pee… ill climb back in bed and have the most realistic dreams about the book i am reading… this would be all well and good but i cant differentiate from reality at all… for example… i became fully awake and was sitting in my room… but for several minutes i thought that i had been transported to another “frame” and i had no sense of self… i was the character from the book…
another example… i woke up from a dream in which my girlfriend had climbed through my window… i acctaully went into my parents room woke my mother and asked her to tell jay to leave… i was fully awake but i could see janine plain as day… anyone who has had experience with hallucinagins should understand what im talking about…
well thats all i have to say for now… feel free to ask any questions… as im sick ill be on throughout the day.
Hi
I can relate to this,although i never had such “strong” dreams.But when i am sick i am sometimes jumping from dream to awake and back again,as if i can´t decide in which reality i want to stay.I know whether i am awake or not,but i don´t care,my “fever-world” seems equal to this world.But when this happens i feel normally very bad,so i want to get out of both realities and just sleep deeply…
If you want to relax you could perhaps use your fever-dreams.Try to visualize a nice place to chill,perhaps yourself sitting next to a quite lake or something.
But if it isn´t that bad you could experiment a bit.I´d search for a dreamguide,or do something with LILD.Perhaps you find someone who is willing to tell you that you are dreaming in your further NLDs?
i know what you mean about not wanting to be in either reality… its very uncomfortable… i was reading a set of books by Piers Anthony… the Kelvin and Rud series…
im better now… although last night i had a dream in which i dreamed i was lucid… that was a new experience…
