Have you ever experienced a Lucid Dream?

[pervertedjester]

A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming. Sometimes controlling/directing the dream itself or simply enjoying the dream for what it is. I experienced one of the best lucid dreams of my life a few days ago and thought I'd ask.

Yes

No

[Hawkes_Lady]

Yes, I do it quite often. I often wake up and try to go back to sleep to continue the dream... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I have also had lucid nightmares, where I know that I am having a nightmare and will wake up to get out of it, only to be thrust right back into it when I go back to sleep.

I read up on lucid dreaming and wanted to see if I could do it. I wanted to see if I could fly like Superman. I thought about flying to my vacation home. It is aboit 120 miles. I imagined flying over the highway, following it all the way to the coast. I did this for several days. Finally I did get to dream that I was flying. i am not sure but I may instead have been an a single engine airplane however.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I've had lucid dreams, but not the type where I can control the narrative in the dream. I know a lady who can tell herself when she goes to bed what she wants to dream about, and she will dream about that usually. I'm not that way.

[YesterdaysChild]

I've had dreams where I am in a bad situation, say coming into your old job and finding a ton of work you have to do. Then you say to yourself in the dream - "Wait a minute, I quit that job long ago. I don't have to be here." Not long after I wake up with a smile on my face.

[ArrowheadSW]

@yesterdayschild That or wake up feeling stressed out! LOL...

[Sonorous]

Yeah, I can even prompt myself to have more of them. But I stopped doing it. I think part of me wanted a break from the sleep paralysis & certain lucid horror dreams I'd have. They can be very thrilling. But some of them just feel a bit too real I'll admit. So I often found myself forcing myself to wakeup when I'd experience them.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I have once, but I rarely have them. I don't control my dreams as a way for me to actually relax and just let myself wander/explore the dreams instead while I sleep.

[RedInnocent68]

Yes, and it was amazing! Involved three girls (we all know each other in real life). Still my biggest fantasy… 🥵 There are sleep meditations out there that can help train you.

[Sour-rose]

Yup. I knew it was a dream and like that... I know what to do.

I've solved some very complex mathematical problems from my lucid dreams

[petitedollbabee]

I’ve had many lucid dreams, but usually not enjoyable ones.

[leahzrc]

Yes they mostly had to do with the end of the world

[DaBiggestBird]

Yes and it was cool. I also pulled myself out of one earlier, I was starting to fall asleep and a dream was beginning. Then I woke myself up.

[Dargil]

Yes, but like those old Serta commercials, once I wake up, they no longer make sense.

[Pete671]

Yes quite often really, but in mine I'm convinced it's not a dream, I been to some seriously weird places,,,

[Massageman]

If it's a good dream, I fight to stay asleep.
If not, I'll try to just bail and wake up.

[genericname85]

yeah, i trained to be able to do this. took me some effort.

[TiaNour]

How do you experience it? It sounds cooooool

I dreamed I was traveling the USA in a Volkswagen van and every night for a week I start the dream where I left off the night before.

[Brady]

I didn't vote because I'm not sure but I think I hav.

[the_sinner]

Yeah but it only lasts for a couple of minutes tops. Also I can’t control these dreams and just get to see them.

[sweeTiffany2000]

Wow, I feel very left out lol. I never knew this even existed :)

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Vividly, quite often.
