Discussion: Have you ever controlled your dreams?

loco

Lucid dreaming, some may call it.

Seems like a weird concept - but have you ever, you know in a dream, REALISED you were dreaming and controlled it from there on? What happened? What did you feel? How did it unfold?

Queen Bea.

When I wake up I can make myself fall back into a dream...it's weird but it's not control.

PopBoi

No. I have tried so many times though

I can wake myself up.

Xenen

Nope. I wish I could.

Well sometimes when i want to dream something badly and thinl about it all day i can actually dream with it, but i don't think i control it, it would be pretty cool to control what you are dreaming.

ImsoLOUD

I have! It's crazy and I'm not playing. It's like, I wake up in the middle of the night (especially if I have a bad dream) then it's like I fall into a "lighter sleep" and I can start to control what's happening, but it's like I'm still slightly awake. Sometimes if somethings bad enough, I can tell myself IN MY DREAMS, THAT IM DREAMING, therefore I start to control it from then on...haa it sounds crazy but I'm not lying.

Yes, occasionally.

I've stopped trying now, but if you want to start getting lucid dreams the trick is to get a watch, and make a habit on check it every five minutes or so, except check it twice and think to yourself "the time is the same, I'm not dreaming"

If you do this enough, it'll become a habit and you'll start doing it in your dreams as well; except in your dreams, the time will almost always be different the second time you look, alerting you to the fact you're dreaming.

I am training myself to do it. Once I got close. I jumped in my dream, and floated to the ground, so i knew it was a dream, then started to control it abit but got freaked out & woke up.

How do you train yourself?

Pedro

Well, no. It would be cool though! I am impressed some of y'all can do it! But sometimes espontaneous things are fun!

Well, IDK if this counts, but if I can't sleep or whatever, and I just want to dream something, I shut my eyes and think of a story in my head. If I let that story in my head play out for long enough, I'll fall asleep and continue the story as a dream.

I do the same thing when I wake up right before something good happens in a dream. I'll try to remember what was just going on, shut my eyes again and play it out in my head, and sometimes I'll fall back asleep with the continuation of the same dream.

I usually don't have to do this though; I'm a dreamer already.

Amaru

Yes.

It's only happened three times and they were when I fell asleep drunk. its weird.

I've always wanted to be able to. The stuff you'd be able to do in dreams.

I have too. If something happens that I didn't want, I can be like "Aw hell nah, rewind" and change the script.

jomarr

Lmao yes and it's flawless. I can stop and go back

But most of the time when I know I'm dreaming I wake up.

Edge Of Glory

Its only happened to me once, and it just had to be a dream where I saw JFK get killed.

That dream was awful. I could've sworn it felt like I had blood, and brains, and all kinds of stuff on my face.
