hello Fly and roban
I hope you both enjoy your time spent at LD4all and experience greater dreams with what you learn here
Fly we have a “my first lucid dream collection” topic in the dream diary forum, you may wish to post your first ever lucid dream there: we also have a “first dream i remember topic” in the stuff of dreams forum
roban, I love the term ecstatic for the lucid dreams with low control. … you may wish to post your first LD too
And remember we have a dream diary forum for if you wish to start a topic to record your dreams here
I’ve thought a little more about ecstatic dreaming. While lucid dreaming suggests awareness and control, ecstatic dreaming is properly lucid - sharp colors, acute hearing, strong sense of smell - really heightened senses; but also ecstatic - like the best times of your life all come together, with family at play, or uninhibited sex with someone you care about. Its a feeling of a perfect time when you consider yourself extremely lucky to be alive with just the people you want to be with, living an ideal time, in an idealic place, and you don’t want the experience to end. Everyone is young and happy. If only I could return to these experiences at will. Actually, because I believed the experiences were real and not a dream, they seemed all the more valuable because they appeared to be permanent. This happens without awareness or control.
as far as i know there’s no way to trigger them.
and i would call them normal … normal dreams can be very vivid with full emotions etc
and vivid dreams are common for some dreamers
I’m brand new to the art of lucid dreaming but really wanna learn the skillzzzzz. I’ve read the wiki book so I know all the techiniques, just need to get them to work now! I thought I’d sign up here because it seemed a good thing to do.
I have not had a LD yet. Mind you I havent had a chance, seeing as I only found out about it on new years eve before I went out. I have however had a falling experience about twice. This is where you suddenly wake up, purhaps from REM and you feel as if you fall a few meters downwards suddenly, when really you are lying in bed. Your heartrate also increases as this happens, a bit like one of the rides that you go up to the top and drop really quick, but faster than that and not as far. Anyone else had one of these?
Glad that you joined up, you’ll get LDs soon if you stick around long enough. Everyone here is really friendly, so don’t be afraid to ask questions. I myself haven’t had a falling experience, but I’m sure other members have.
Hi. Not that new here, but havn’t been reading the forums for a long time. So now i’m back again, at least for know. Havn’t had any new LD’s in a while. But I am remembering dreams pretty offten.
I’ve been lurking around this place for a few weeks before I brought up the courage to join, finally… I’ve just recently had my first LD (last night, actually ) after reading the posts every night, and I remember a dream every night too so I felt that I may as well join.
hello Halabalooza
congratulations on your first lucid dream
will you be posting it in our “My First LD collection” topic in the dream diary forum? click here
The UK really seems to be invading LD4all
and as The Nameless One said you can start your own personal dream journal in the dream diary forum if you wish to do so
Hello,my name is Psycomega*,and i’m new here.
Don’t let the “how long i’ve been here” thing fool you,i only started visiting this site two days ago.(My computer got fried the night i regestered,what a sad coincidence.)
Anyway,i found this site by going to GameFAQs first,to a game i used to play called MapleStory,then to a topic which led me to another one about weird happenings and things.
I found a topic that revolved mainly about controling your dreams(which i have done a few times in my life,)which led me to the wikipedia about Lucid Dreaming(which at the time,i didn’t know the proper name for it.)
And that of course led me to here,about six months later,here i am!
Umm…I can’t quite think of anything else right now,other than that i’m a caucasian male,with pretty long hair for a guy(about past my back,)i just turned 15(Dec.4) and other than that i’m not sure what to say.
(* Please,no “h”,it’s a combination of the words “Psycho” and “Omega” which essentially mean “Crazy End”.)
