Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming is controlling your dreams or being aware you're in a dream. That's a pretty vague definition. I have done it before and its pretty cool.it wasn't anything amazing I just knew I dreaming. I haven't gotten to level where I can control anything. Lucid dreaming is amazing and you can anything you can imagine pretty much but there's a drawback. sleep paralysis. sleep paralysis is like being awake and asleep at the same time and its the scariest thing that ever happen to you. you can't move and sometimes you can't talk. there's lots of theories about it online you can look up. It happen if you lucid dream and will probably happen if you're a beginner. i'm still learning about this stuff myself. So, my question(s) are have you ever Lucid dreamed? if so about what? would you do it again? have you ever had sleep paralysis?

I don't think that I have. Is there any way to make it happen or do you just get lucky?
you can totally do it on purpose. there's training you can do to get good at it. there are tons of people that lucid dream all time. lucid dreaming has been studied for thousands of years. i'm surprised its never happened to you, my lucid dreams happen on accident.
When you learn to lucid dream and get eaten by a zombie in your dream then you won't want to lucid dream ever again.
yeah i just fly mostly.
I rarely dream to be honest. Does it feel like it's actually happening or can you just control what happens?
i haven't been able to control anything yet but i'm aware its a dream. i have flown in a dream and its the most amazing thing ever. i could actually feel it like i was really flying. i also had telekinesis in the same dream as the flying one and i was moving things and it worked every time.
Well it definitely seems like something I want to learn, thanks for this!
don't jump into it too quickly, please do research first.
Ok sure.
thank you.
Okay guys I just want to add to this.
Everyone, there are some potential problems that come with this, such as trying to apply dream-world situations to the waking world. Don't let this scare you away from the idea, though. These issue are avoidable! I might try it myself after I do some more research, so don't be discouraged.
like do a lot of research. don't read on it and then try when you go to sleep. read books and articles and watch lots of videos.
Will do. Thanks!

How do we know we aren't all lucid dreaming right now?
I've never experienced either, but my brother had some sleep paralysis when he was younger. He told me the first time it happened he heard me talking to our sister and tried to say something. When he realized he couldn't talk or move he tried to scream, and began to freak out. When he eventually woke up, he said it was the scariest thing that ever happened to him.
I one time woke up, and saw something out the window. Some people believe you can wake up in a hallucination state, and see shit.
yes it happens to me all the time and its very very scary. its pure fear.
yeah you can. the mind is very powerful. the physical world is not the only world.
I don't think I've ever had a lucid dream before but I wish I could. Imagine how cool it would be to just decide that tonight in your dreams your gonna go to the moon or go to work completely naked and not care what anybody thinks because there not real. Thankfully I've never had sleep paralysis either, heard some pretty scary stories about them.
i get sleep paralysis all the time and its very scary. its scarier than any scary movie,tv show or game. i have lucid dreamed but it wasn't anything too cool. i was just aware i was dreaming. oh and i also predicted the future one time. i dreamed i feel down some steps and cut my lip and it was badly bruised and pink and shit. then a friend came into school the next day and he had the same scar i had in my dream and he got the same way. oh and i fly once and telekinesis as well.
you can train yourself to do it if you want.
I did try to train myself once but I gave up because it was too much effort, had to keep a dream diary and stuff.
oh that's the easy part.
I might try again sometime in a holiday. Someone told me a good way to train yourself is to draw something on your hand everyday so that you get used to it, and then if you look at your hand in a dream and the pictures not there then you know your dreaming.
yeah its a reality check.
Shadow people...
Why throw this in here?
I don't know, I have heard stories of people who has woke up like that and seen shadow people watching them.
(This was suppose to be a reply to George, sorry)
oh i've seen shadow people. very scary. sometimes they watch you while you sleep.
I've seen them before, yeah scary shit.
yeah man.
If theres one you don't want to see, its the Watcher.
oh really? in that case he's been around since i was a little kid.
Just to make sure you know it, whats he look like?
i don't know just like this giant shadow figure. way taller than me.
I think you just saw a normal, the Watcher is an alpha.
oh probably.
The Watcher has a trenchcoat, bright yellow eyes, and darkness everywhere.
no never seen him
Good, hes the messenger of death or good luck.
ah ok
