Pretty sure I just had my first lucid dream (wasn't trying to..but I know I enjoy dreaming) last night. It was quite delightful.

Anyone ever experience this? Basically could create any situtaion I wanted..and felt like I was physically there.

Usually about once a week I'm presented with the opportunity to... I can feel my body sort of disengaging before I go to sleep, but for some reason I almost always get really panicked and make my body wake itself up. Sort of sucks and sort of doesn't.

I've heard about it, never got to have one. But I want one, I want one very badly.

How many chicks did you fuck in your dream?

I had a couple, but they were all within a week's time. The first one I just kind of did little things because I didn't want to wake up. The other times I do one big thing and wake up almost immediately. I love having them, though.

Last year Ugly introduced me to melatonin. You can get a bottle of 40 for like 3 bucks. It's a natural hormone that your body releases that regulates what level of sleep you are in. Adding extra to your body makes you go into REM sleep faster and stay there longer...it's also supposed to help you remember your dreams because you spend so much time in the REM stage.

I heard there was a way you could train yourself to have lucid dreams, i may look into it.

I've had a few lucid dreams. They never lasted very long. And I've only had like 2 sex dreams ever. One was really strange. I was fucking this black chick. She was on top and she was spitting on me. And there were about 5 dark figures standing around the bed. They were all wearing trench coats and I couldn't make out their faces. They were just standing there while I was fucking the spitting black chick.

Horror writers use this as way to come up with stories, if you research them you might be able to find some useful stuff. My roommate freshmen year got really heavy into H.P. Lovecraft and tried a lot of different things. Here are some tips I remember he tried (The few time he was successful he woke himself up):

-Slept with a pouch of Lavender. Apparently sleep aids put you in a more solid state of sleep to help you control them (like the melatonin)
-take vitamin A 12 hrs before you sleep - he only tried this a few times b/c it was supposed to give you nightmares more than any other affect
-vitamin B before you sleep

he found three ways to train yourself to control your dreams but I only remember two:
-Constantly throughout the day, look at your watch and try to change the time with your mind, if you do this enough in reality, you'll eventually do it in your sleep. If you can change the time you know your dreaming.

-Carry around a scrap of paper in your pocket with a message or note on it, take it out through out the day, try and change the message before you read it, if you can change it...

Basically setting up habits strong enough that you do them in your dreams, and then using that to tell yourself that your dreaming. Theirs also the NovaDreamer, a sleeping mask that detects REM and will alert you by flashing lights on your eyes to tell you, your dreaming. dont know anything else beyond that though

i read a bit about it...dream recall is really important.

...i can see why i think now..like I've defintely been lucid since then..but I can only remember a fragment of the dream..so its kinda pointless.

basically have to wake up and start recording your dreams.

I have them quite frequently. The best is when you get awaken by the alarm, able to turn off the alarm and able to get back to where you were in the same dream.
