I would wake up. Because either, my heart beats so fast. Or I yell, and I woke up by my own voice. But lately it seems, I gave myself superpower in my dream so yeah >____<

Another lucid dreamer believer! Zeltrax, have you ever had a lucid dream? I've tried several times, but never even got close to realizing I was in a dream in the first place. -_-

I even listen to a song about lucid dreaming to try and get myself in the mood, but it never works!

I couldn't find it on YouTube in English, but it's called The Dragon by Guggenheim Grotto. Awesome song though.

I Trained for a 2 years until I was able to have lucid dreams frequently. I'd keep a dream diary, I'd always try to remember important details of my dreams that would be impossible in real life. And constantly ask myself if I was dreaming while I was awake to make it a habit.

Try the vigilant relaxation technique I think it's the most effective one.

If I had a fight with someone or I was upset during the day, then that same night I would had an argument in my dream. And I would sleep talk and swear in my sleep. I used to speak vietnamese (according to my mom) in my sleep, but a few years back, I heard they are all in English, now. I only had one account of sleep walk, but I think it may have been someone moved me during my sleep. My desires also manifested in my dreams. But they all have one thing in comment is that they are not fulfilled. One aspect of this desire is material whether it was money or any sort of collection (manga, status, etc). I always wake up before the goal achieve. The other aspect of desire is more complicated. But since this a confession thread, I may as well. I guess it is a bit more mature rated.

There was a time when I was doing a project in school with my two best friends (this project totaly ruined the friendship between the other two) we were all in such a huge load of stress and a fight could stir up at any time (fuck that school project worst thing ever happened in my school life) well I'm kinda lazy and one of my friends is a hard worker while I work mostly when the time for presentations is coming.

One day I had a dream in which me and my friend fought over the project. It was the scariest thing ever happened in a dream to me. When I woke up I was constatly afraid of us fighting over the project and stayed with that fear inside me for a whole week.

While my friendship with both remains strong the two of them don't talk to each other anymore. And that dream, the possibility of losing one of my best friends was quite frightening.

I am a pro lucid dreamer . Its like my brain never sleeps and the clockwork inside is always ticking. I don't know why it happens to me often, but I now know when to shake if they go bad. Sometimes, they are very...you know interesting .

Agree man as much as I like controling my dreams I can't get a decent rest when I have lucid dreams. That's why I chose not to have them (I have lucid dreams only when I sleep with my stomach pointing to the ceilling and I have normal dreams when I lay with my stomach pointing to the bed. Mainly because my natural way of sleeping is turned down and when my stomach is up I have to relax my body slowly until I feel numb and enter a subconscious state while being conscious.)

It's only the one dream I remember quite clearly, then another where I can hear the slight whispers. The rest I forget the instant I wake up, which my mum thought wasn't good as she believed dreams were important and carried messages.

My mum believes that, too. She dreams almost every night and when she wakes up, she looks up its meaning in a dream interpretation book. I don't believe dreams telepathically carry messages from other people or places, I think they're more like reflection of our subconscious mind. For example, my mum has an apprehensive personality and it shows in her dreams, she more often than not sees people having misfortune and whatnot.

One of my best friends once told me that he had seen me dead in his dream (is it a good idea to mention it? lol), if his dreams did have any merit, I wouldn't be writing this post. Dreams can give important information about how human brain functions though, I believe they're very important from scientific perspective.

My mum's reasoning was more religious and biblical. She believed that in dreams God speaks to you to warn you about misfortunes that are to befall you, help others through you, educate you, etc.... It never really sat with me to be honest but she turned into a Joseph with her siblings and my sisters; where she'd help them interpret their dreams. She was never happy that I couldn't remember my dreams .

 

[Zeltrax]

I never did have any nightmares, not any that I can remember anyway. Probably because I'm so positive or something.

It never worked for me I tried and tried but it never did...but yeah know, there was this one time when I really focus and try to lucid dream and I had a freaking scary experience. It wasn't a nightmare, it just felt scary so I didn't try again.

I think you'll be more distracted by the song

I don't know anything about lucid dreaming. Sometimes I am aware that I am in a dream. But funny in that same dream, I woke up in a dream and thought that I awake while I am still dreaming. I did try to control my dream sometimes. To an extent I could control the narration and people in my dream. However, the more my consciousnesses trying to interfere, the more the dream messed up and or I will wake up.

From what I hear, lucid dreaming is something that is almost impossible to completely control, so to be able to narrate and create people in your dreams is already a feat.

But I meant, I wouldn't know what it like to swim in the bottom of the ocean (I know how to swim but not scuba diving), or flying, or falling. My body would not have such an experience. And yet I literally feel those things. Falling is fairly common to many people, and my flying/swimming feel just as real. Yeah, some of the elements in my dream were indeed drawing from when I was awake. But other time, I astonished that where these unknown elements or ideas came from.

I get what you mean. I'm not sure about physical feelings but emotionally, I would smile when I wake up from a funny/sweet dream. Falling is a scary experience that would be sure to wake a person up.
I think this unknown elements or ideas came from what you were recently reading/doing/ and what your subconsciousness created from the knowledge you have.

I confess I've experienced it twice and on another note I think this thread has gone a bit offtopic. If there are so many interested in these stuff around here why not make a new thread?

 

[weixiaobao]

I confess that sometimes I think I am awesome.

 

[wizzard]

I confess sometimes I have thought's maybe I'm not but they usually pass unnoticed

I confess, I have the best set on MH .

 

[Naomi]

I confess 2013 is going to be a shitty financial year. I was only awarded $3500 for next semester in government aid, and it was exclusively loans. I didn't get any pell grants... That 3500 doesn't even cover tuition. And what can I do about books? Great. I'm getting really god damn sick of paying over $1000 for a single class. Education in this country is a mother fucking mess.

Actually your mom has the best set on MH

SAY IT

It's absolutely ridiculous how higher education operates in this country. It's treated as a business and unless your parents have money stocked away for you to go to college you enter the workforce with an insane amount of debt that some people don't even get in front of until THEY have kids and would be saving for their tuition. It's so fucked up how this isn't important to anyone in government either. You're supposed to invest in the budding generation so they can pay taxes and support retirees, it's the basis of social security. But no, let's continue awarding government contracts to paramilitary organizations for wars that have no purpose. Let's continue awarding subsidies where it isn't needed. Let's continue tying up government business with bullshit abortion and contraception laws. Let's continue wasting time preventing gay marriage. Those are all worthwhile things......fuck me.

I confess that I just finished watching Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper on YouTube... Followed by thinking, "how the fuck did I get here?" after the credits.

YouTube is a magical place.

[wizzard]

I confess I'm bored and rarely find myself mentally/intellectually challenged

 

[Naomi]

Go to college.

 

[wizzard]

Nice one !

 

[xi0]

I've actually seen the peeing Link video and had the same thought when I saw that in Wind Waker

 

[Naomi]

It kind of made me laugh a little at first, but it was a really stupid video. XD Haven't played Windwaker yet.

Indeed

Wind Waker got a bad rap for the cel-shading style of art but I think it's awesome looking and the gameplay with the huge ocean world and sailing was really cool.

 

[weixiaobao]

I confessed I was scare shitless when I read about the Canadian butcher/ kittens serial killer. But stupid curiosity prompt me to watch that awful video. I have seen cadavers quite a few time now in my life for stupid anatomy class. It wasn't the goriness that get to me. I was deeply afraid because I don't understand why something like this occurred. I don't understand what it takes for a person to cross into the boundary of insanity. Also because, I could see myself as a victim. So I read on about him, because if my knowledge was incomplete that fear still persist. And I did just that, then I came across a mention of Jeffrey Dahmer the necrophilia and Dean Corll the candy man. And I read about them too.

I feel like Sensui from Yuyu hakusho who just learned about the dark side of humanity. It wasn't like I was ignorant. I meant stuffs like the Holocaust, lynching, war crimes are pretty scary by themselves but there are certain rationality about them (even as crazy as they were). People that can't be reason with, people that are so driven by their desires, people who have little conscience scare me. However, I have a personality trait that once I knew the ending/complete understanding, I am no longer fearful of thing like that.

I confessed reading about the victims make me sad. To die with so little dignity. To die as a tool, and as an object to satisfy some mad hunger. To die in violent and in pieces. To die with your names being forgotten and eclipsed by your killer's name. At time like these, I recalled Dr.Hiluluk from One Piece, a man dies when he is forgotten. And you know, I wished I had this super mind, that these poor souls could exist in the universe I create. I had this sudden urge to write. Sometimes I wished I believe in paradise, and in God, but I am not.

>___< I have serious issues.
