Lucid dreaming has become a topic of interest, with individuals sharing their experiences of recognizing when they are dreaming and attempting to maintain control within the dream state. One participant described a vivid experience where they realized they were dreaming while with a friend, using the motivation of seeing a photo album to stay in the dream. Discussions also touched on the impact of stress and insomnia on dreaming, with some noting that unusual events in dreams often trigger awareness of the dream state. Others shared their struggles with waking up from dreams and the challenges of remembering them, suggesting that vivid dreams are often easier to recall. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of lucid dreaming and its connection to personal experiences and mental states.

This didn't happen in Woolie's cott, did it?
I think if Wolram and I ever got too close to each other, life as we know it would cease to exiist. We seem to be plagued with misadventure.

Woolie, a beautiful young lady like Evo being in the company of one such as yourself would be a misadventure in its own right. :-p

Experimental data in oneirology shows that spinning around your verticle axis works the best way to stay in your dream. I use it, it works well.

I have two recurring dreams which are something like lucid dreams.

1. I find coins scattered on the ground. The coins are weird in that the face of Lincoln on the penny faces the left instead of the right, or the date is printed upside down, or the words are misspelled. When that happens I say to myself that I am probably dreaming since this only ever occurs in my dreams. However, the situation seems so real to me that I convince myself that I am not dreaming and this time I really did find the weird coins.

2. I dream that I can fly. I jump up in ordinary fashion, and fall back down in the ordinary way except that I only fall about half way to the ground. So I am standing in mid-air. I jump up again and push myself a little bit forward and through a series of such jumps I finally go forward fast enough to soar fairly high. At that point, I am flying and as in the coin dream, I convince myself that this time it isn't a dream.

If I try to change the ending, the other characters in the dream don't cooperate, so I end up erasing all of them, and thereby getting tortured by things(?) until I wake up

I have lucid dreams often. The weirdest one ever was one where I was convinced I could fly based on the fact that when I jumped into the air, I had abnormally long hang time (sort of like levitation). This is bad evidence of course, but since I was in a dream (and knew it) obviously the effect could be extended. So I jumped off a building from about 20 feet high and fell to my death. The rest of the dream was just a bright blue background (sort of like a blue screen of death) and me thinking how stupid I was getting myself killed like that.

I get floating dreams sometimes. I can't seem to get myself above treetop level even though I have conciously controlled my dreams before.

I fell from about 150 in a dream once but it didn't 'kill' me. I just got up and chastised myself for doing something so dumb.

What was funny for me this week is that I dreampt about a dream within my dream after seeing Inception Monday. :rolleyes:
