I agree! its very interesting to read all your stories^^
for me…ive been trying for YEARS but I think im blocking myself? its very hard to get lucid but I feel like mentally im standing in the way of…myself? haha if that makes sense
actually until last year I lived in a very broken home which was…idk it felt like a mental hospital, it felt like i was actually trapped in a nightmare. i cant even remember how but i stumbled over the author Charlie Morley and I think bc of him I got into lucid dreaming…also reading through your stories…I noticed something. Usually I can never remember what other dream characters told me or I feel liek i rarely talk to them. I never learned form my family or anyone to have “normal” conversations and I find it hard to communicate so I thought I could do this in lucid dreams…also, I wanted to perform on stage as a singer and guitarist in my lucid dreams and get over my anxiety…I do so at home in waking state but I really want to have my idol sing with me in my dreams…so far I couldnt accomplish that - I dont really know what I can do to improve my skills:/
Still, I wont give up! I even try to convince friends to try it, because its an incredible feeling and you could discover so many hidden things if you just dare to take a look! Right?
I all of a sudden started havi g lucid dreams while in prison for my last 6 months. It was all of a sudden. Really quick i realized i could control my dreams and it was my excape and was very exciting. It was my way to excape. But then the day i got out it stopped and i could not do it no more. I dont understand y. There was a port on the wall ubove my head for satellite radio maybe that caused the dreams. I really dont know y or how i had em but at the time i was in very much contro and looked forward to sleeping cause i always knew i would be having an exciting dream almost like a bad ass movie every night and after a few days i could control the dreams i would even wake up to go to the bathroom and go back to sleep and continue the dreams it was amazing. I want to be able to have lucid dreams again but dont know how i guess
It’s a funny story. For me, it seems to be that I learned to lucid dream thanks to the disbelief of my friends and family… Yeah, that works out… if it even makes sense…
A few years back, my dreams were perhaps lucid, but not very clear or vivid or immersive and it was probably because I didn’t care much for them. I also didn’t remember them regularly. But already back then, whenever I talked to friends or family about dreams, they had a hard time believing what I told them about my experience. Some friends even just thought I was lying. But rather than trying to convince them - what’s the point, anyway? - instead, thanks to that, I directed more attention towards my dreams. And it seems that over time, they have become true lucid dreams, very vivid, with me leading great adventures while asleep. It was gradual and I didn’t notice it at first, I only became really aware of this change just now when I joined LD4all! So yeah, I think it was a bit of everything that had such a huge impact on my dreams in the last few years, but I definitely enjoy the way it has turned out now.
I started being interested about lucid dreams after having vivid hallusinations a child, they were like nightmares that occurred even when I was awake. I never knew how to describe the ‘realness’ of my dreams and when I grew up, I stumbled upon the works of Carl Jung who described dreams as our subconscious mind communicating to our consiousness. It was from there that I grew more and more interested in the phenomena as well as its implications for psychological wellbeing.
hello my name is Jay I’ve never gave 2 thoughts to any dream I had but lately and I may be wrong but I feel like I have been having lucid dreams I will share them hoping maybe someone can give me advice or let me know whats going on
