Slenderman, I am 26 (not 13...double that as a matter of fact) and I have had lucid dreams for as long as I can remember. I was asking for your input on my experiences just in case you had some piece of the puzzle that I was missing. I would love to know everything that I can on the subject. As I do with many subjects of interest that I know of and some that I don't. Lol

(for some reason I remember this dream) anyway, the aliens have turned against me; "you saved our lives, we are eternally grateful" my butt. Anyway, I had to fight them all. Then I saved everyone in my family, then this huge rocket landed, and then I woke up. I always fall asleep at the best time of the dreams I have. Lucid dreaming class!

Lol vortex u must be young I watched that movie at least 500 times with my 19 year old know . But like 5 or 6 then. Oh to be young

Though it wasn't lucid, once I dreamt I was a goldfish ( the fish, not the delicious snack cracker) I was swallowed by a shark alive.

I remember two such "lucid dreams" and both from when i was a child. The first was a dream that a demon (looked like one of the helldogs from ghostbusters but walking like a human) was coming up the stairs.....i awoke to see my father had just got to the top of the stairs! Weird!!!!. The second was during early school (i was about 5 or 6 years old) i had a friend over and we were both tucked in for the night when this huge (like 20" tip to wrist) black hairy hand came from under the bed and shook it violently. Years went by and i lived in teneriffe for 2 years (i was now 16) i hadnt seen my friend for at least 8 years! And i enrolled in a school back here in the uk and he was in the class above.me. When i saw him the first thing he said was.... Do you remember that big hand on that sleepover when we were kids! Now either it was a joint dream??? Or it was real????? Either way il never forget that night!

Oh yeah I had almost forgotten about joint/mutual dreaming. That's like a whole other level of dream control/skill.

If i could control my dreams and show people it would be as funny as an ASDF movie.I love those.I
like trains!(train runs over guy)

You guys ever heard of lucid dreaming? I've done it a couple times and its great. Basically you train yourself to realize you're dreaming without waking up and you can literally do anything in your dream. And flying is awesome.

i belive i can fly

Really dude. We've been talking bout that this whole time. Lucid dreaming is just the realizing your sleeping. Controling it is something that doesn't have a name.

Feel free to research it. Lucid dreaming.g is the act of realizing you are dreaming and controlling what you do. I have a books worth of research I printed out on it when I tried it. Anyone.e can realize a dream the majority will wake up after doing so, but sometimes you dont and its cool. Lucid dreaming teaches you to do certain things like count your fingers when your awake but in a dream you'll have more or less than five so that's how you know your in a dream. And my phone didn't load all the comments so I did.t know that's what you guys were talking about.

The definition of a lucid dream is any dream in which you become aware that you are in a dream. Control takes a lil practice. I have been told that the first thing you should do when lucid dreaming is to try to make a layer of fog appear on the floor/ground then you try to make it go away. Its just a basic exersise for controlling lucid dreams.

So tuesdaynight and wendesday night I had a dream that continued. It was a lucid dream I knew I was dreaming. I have lucid dreams every night. Ill try tghe fog thing next time.

and now we are sgaring lyucid dreams and dreams

Hey I had this dream a while ago. IT WAS WEIRD. Like. . .have you ever had your sleep majestically control you while you are totally just blacked out? It happened to me. Ok here it goes-

I was having this dream (I don't know what it was and I have no sense of memory on it.)
And then I woke up Shouting "DAD!!!!!"(All I can remember before that was that something B.A.D. happened)
My dad was up and he shouted "what?"
And then I realized I was awake and embarrassed that I like stirred everyone from their sleep and said "oh. . . nothing nevermind!"
And then I was gonna get up and then my sleep totally took over at this point and I blacked out. . . . . . . . . .
When I woke up I was in my bed and realized that a half our had passed.
Later in the day when I was saying goodnight to my parents my dad was like "So why did you call me in the morning?" and I said "What?" and he said "remember this morning?" (ok ok ok lets just hurry past this part because it took me a while to remember) Ok and I said "Oh yeah!" And then he said " I came in your room and asked you if you had a dream and you said 'no' and smiled at me" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I did not believe this happened anyway I told you what happened. ( I did not tell you the end because I don not remember what happened.

I had this other dream. Have you ever had a dream with what you were touching in your sleep interfered with your dream? Well this is how my dream happened and it was really short.

I dreampt that I was under water breathing
hard to breath though(I like to sleep on my stomach)
and I was down there for a while- no fishes, no seaweed, nothin'
and it was getting harder to breathe
I, however, immediately woke up
finding myself face-down in my pillow (which is really fluffy so it is really easy to cover up my face after a while)
on the verge of suffocating.
I quickly sat up gasping air.
THAT WAS WEIRD! I will remember that for a long time

Yeah I had a dream like that before throttle
I slept
Then I my dream I was walking t
Then my chest started hurting
It was getting harder to breath to the point I couldn't stand it
I woke up and found that I was sleeping on top of my stuffed duck
I was like
dam duck trying to kill the guy that rescued him

Because of all the younger folks claiming to be these ever amazing dream gurus.

Some people do have lucid dreams naturally and some have to work for it. A lot of people get scared by lucid dreams and don't talk about them as if it were a mental condition. You can't get mad/jealous of natural lucid dreamers just because it may take a lot of effort for you.

Lucid dreams come naturally that's all I'm saying. I find it cool to share them. I'm no guru. Lucid dreaming is fun. My friends at school probally never even heard of it. Its nice to talk to people about it so I'm really coming out. Thanks for reading.

Heh, I wasn't implying that in the slightest.

There's a difference between loathing how often you "lucid dream" and being humble about the matter.

Lucid dreaming isn't normal. While it is fun; it isn't particularly healthy on the psyche. For one, the brain should be at rest or pondering the information it stored that day. Not creating worlds, feelings, images, emotion, etc. Lucid dreaming isn't a new or modern phenomena. There have been several studies done in Mental Hospitals over a few patients (Tom Clarke for example) who after partaking in and inducing sleep paralysis (which occurs during lucid dreaming); such people became extremely stressed. Some to the point where they became extremely confused and developed a sort of dementia about themselves. Thus leading to the point where they had a hard time distinguishing between the real world and a lucid world. Hence, why they became mental patients.

Many argue that the assassin who shot Gabby Giffords suffered from this and had several detailed journals over lucid dreaming. Once he claimed insanity in court; his lawyers said it was because he could no longer distinguish between physical and dream worlds.

If you've had a lucid dream -- you surely realize that you can do whatever you want without repercussion. It's when this mindset goes to the extremes and is applied to the real world that things get very unhealthy.


tl;dr Lucid dreaming is a normal phenomena -- but should be rare for some. It is an overload on the psyche; especially since sleep is a time for healing and restoration of energy/mental capacity. And for some reason, I doubt pre-teens are able to handle that safely -- much less induce lucid dreaming every night themselves. But hey, there's exceptions everywhere.

I'm yet to receive a lucid dream just yet. Through my research, they sound amazing.

The meditation really helps me relax, nevertheless.
