Lucid dreaming - can you do it?

[Animal]

I love the trippy out of body experiences - flying acoss the universe as solar flares produce rainbow scintallations of cosmos fairy lights ... dipping into black holes and surfing on warped gravity compressed planetoids ... lassooing onto the back of comets and hitching a slingshot express ride into a gas cloud that feels like a feather down trampoline! From there I love feeling the magnetic anomalies that tickle me upside the skull and grab a handful of asteroids, compress them and stretch out a long line of glittering diamond chains, with which, I stitch a daisy chain of constellations together... then, as a rest, I visit some galaxies that have a fecund and diverse gathering of biomorphs where I sit and watch the setting of mushroom gas clouds that tinge the setting tri-polar suns ... bliss ...

And then, my fave recurring theme is that I'm dressed as a samurai warrior wearing a composite armour of traditional japanese laquer prints overlaid on milspec kevlar composites, katana slung on the back, a pair of micro-mini uzis strapped on the thighs and sitting astride the saddle of a motorcycle that has a horse themed look, all whilst looking down from the brow of a cliff surveying a post-apocalyptic cityscape, that is half-buried in sand and the nuclear-fused glass wasteland stretching into the distance and the scrofulous wailing hordes of cannibalistic mutants that infest the ruins...

Dude, whatever you're on... it must be expensive!

Sometimes, maybe 1 in 4 times, when dreaming i realise im dreaming and can change things.
Anyone else experience this or am i completely mad?

i can not only do this while dreaming - i can do it while i'm awake, too

Astro Travelling is cool fun.......... you can go where you want to go.....
so long as you dont snap that cord you are fine.

Havent done it for a while...... used to be able to do it real easy.


Dreaming - I get the dreams where you are asleep and yet awake at the same time... weird.

I can hear someone with keys rattling them in the keyhole trying to get in......
I get scared and freeze up and dont move and stay like that what seems hours upon hours..... yet I know there is no one at the door...
They are really freaky when that happens.
The mind plays weird stuff at times.

But I do have nice dreams at other times thou.....

I never remember my dreams.

I made up for that by marrying a psychopathic insomniac with abandonment issues; I spent at least the first two of our years together being regularly woken up by the screaming, and then getting punched in the head.

She remembers her dreams.

lucid dreaming has gotten alot better for me recently.....
more often than not lately i know "this is a dream"
i've been practicing

dreams are so much more fun when you know its a dream,
things are still very (very) life like,
things are as they would be, at the time, as they seem to be "in real life", then... you realise.. this is dream...



please, if i say out loud to you "this is a dream!" correct me, some sort of slap etc

Kiwifruit, read a book called Phychic Warrior by David Morehouse. I've read it twice, facisinating. It will completely change the way you think about the world.

yep, i know what you mean.....
even if i do realise im dreaming doesn't mean i can do anything unusual, sometimes it can be done.
flying is fun!

Keep your flying.

I prefer running like a wolf. Can even feel the dirt between my fingers as I grb the ground to pull myself faster.

That happened a few times. It was sort of weird. Like I was flying.

But to do it at will.................now that would be something.

What exactly do you practice, clutching up in third, flipping?

My dreams are unchangeable, I'm normally a leader in some epic battle, organising my army with great urgencey and determination to kill or be killed.

Read many Gemmall novels?

My dreams are ALWAYS about people I know. Ive had dreams about riding my bike, people dying and the other day I had one where I was posting on KB... which was friggin strange, and tells me I log on WAY too much!

Na, I'm discovering Stienbeck at the moment, exploring enduring friendships;

I'm Sallo, the little friend of all the world.

You should try Gemmel. I always have those battle dreams you talk about when reading one of his books.

Pearls, in spite of the popular aphorism, do not lose their value after being tossed before swine.

They can always be recovered with the aid of a fucking big knife...
