So, I was up late last night just clicking the stumbleupon button like I do now when I'm board. And it brought me to a fascinating website. A website dedicated to developing the ability to control your dreams. Called Lucid Dreams, its simply where you realise your in a dream and have nearly full consciousness. With practice its possible to have such dreams every night, or even to choose what you dream about. If it be exploring the world, flying, meeting people you'd like to meet, or even something as simple as practicing a speech or report.

After reading the training manual I decided its something I'm going to work towards. Frankly, if anything can cure my insomnia its the promise of a trip to Italy every night. or playing to an arena of fans with zeppelin.

if your interested here's a link to the website Link

Ooo are you really an insomniac? I almost forgot

Anyway, it's just a dream. Once you wake up, it's all useless.

True


Didn't you make a topic about this awhile ago, it could have been someone eles, but it sounds like a topic you would make(Insomniac)

I wouldn't call it useless, If you can use a dream to experience something you normally wouldn't be able to, what makes it useless. Life is about experiencing things, if they be in reality or in your mind.

Plus, dreams are almost always hyper realistic (sensory wise) you can see, hear, smell, and feel things just like you normally would. You just have to train your brain to remember the dreams once you wake up, so its no different than a vacation, other than its shorter and your the lead character in events controlled entirely by you.

As for me making a topic like this, I may have (in fact, now that I think back I probably did). But even if I did it would have contained the website I just posted with the training info, and thats the main reason I posted.

Oh man, this would be soo cool to master. But man I kind of don't want to try it. Just think, you are dreaming about something that is the best thing you have done in your life, then to have to wake up and have it be all fake.


I don't know, I want to try it, but at the same time I don't want to be sad when I wake up

I actually uses to be able to Control my dreams now and then, when I was very young, but I have long lost that ability.

It all happens to me...whenever i want something really bad, i dream about it, but as soon as i wake up, it fades...

no need to be sad when you wake up, Ive been doing some research and some people keep dream notebooks, just read your last dream over and over before you go to sleep and pick up where you left off.

They also say that you have a dream "life" your a different person, one dream ties into the same "person" although the situations may be the same. From what I can remember in my last few memorable dreams. My dream life, I own a rock store that sells instruments, music, t-shirts and such. And I'm a much better guitarist than I am IRL. I also veighly remember being fitted for a suite with all of my family and feeling nervous, so I'm possibly married.

Just take note of what you do in any dreams you may remember, over time you'll notice certain buildings, people, and things reappear in dream after dream (it may just feel like a case of deja-vou) really quite strange if you think about it too long.
