Well.

For some reason, I just... pretty much CONTROL everything, literally.

Gravity, looks, and everything.
For some reason, I "grow" five hundred hands, just holding EVERYTHING down, so it doesn't randomly drift away for some reason.

Sometimes, I get REM sleep, where everything just happens like a preplanned RPG.

REM != dreaming.
REM is super deep sleep.
You don't dream in REM.
Dreaming comes before and after REM.

[Calvin]

No, I'm sure dreaming occurs in REM sleep.

[ein]

Maybe so, but there is a phase between dreaming where you really don't dream.

[Calvin]

Well, sometimes I encounter "Dead Air" in my dreams, where I just see blackness.

And often, it just turns into rebuilding into another adventurous dream like Lego.

I have tried to lucid dream before as it sounded pretty cool, and I did manage to start lucid dreaming, but there was one problem. The problem is that my brain likes the stories of my dreams as they are, and it is a lot better at controlling the dreams than I am. For example, in one dream/ nightmare I had there was a time when a building was going to fall and kill someone else and when I saw it falling I said to myself, "Wait, this is my dream. Those people are now standing over there instead." So they moved instantly to the other spot and survived the building falling. However, instead the ground beneath their feet cracked and they began to fall into a chasm to their doom. Through experimentation, I have learned that whenever I do something in my dreams, whether good or bad, my brain takes whatever I did and makes something else happen that achieves the same effect as if I had did nothing. The only difference is that when I change something I get the feeling that what I did doesn't really fit into the dream, like it is something unnatural, but when my brain does it, it feels like it fits into the dream perfectly. One time I even tried to change something and was locked in a battle with my own brain for ten or fifteen changes before I gave up. After a couple of weeks of trying to change things, I eventually gave up. I still could lucid dream, but I fear that if I try I will still meet the same resistance from my brain, making it the same as a normal dream.

Eventually, when you master lucid dreaming control, you can control every single thing of your dream. I used to have those dreams as well, horrible memories of me on a 50 story high building, falling to my doom.

Attempts to move myself only causes another reason for me to fall, such as a terriost blowing up the building, or something like a invisible force pushing me. But as I said, as you use lucid dreaming more, eventually, it's more controllable.

check this.
it tells you how to lucid.

I tried to learn to lucid dream some time ago, but I completly suck at the techniques you shuld use to remember dreams, meaning that I sometimes remember that I've had semi-lucid dreams, but never remember what happened in them. I do have enough residue emotion from it to tell it's probably not worth the trouble anyway, because actually making a worthwhile story or experience require so much attention that attempting it will wake you up. I'd rather spend the effort on my various experiments whit hypnosis, meditation, and a billion questionable psychological techniques. This has so far only resulted in a rapidly degrading mental health.

I 'think' I had one when I was little. I was flying out of the building. I blinked, and was in my bed again, restarting the cycle. (Unfortunately, I was too fascinated by the resetting that I never actually got out of my window.) The fact that I remember this one means... something.

But, in any other case, I quite like the way I dream, that is, completely insane. The greatest shame is that you can't remember it the day after.

Either way, I'll try this out.


Also, I have the 'set fate' sort of thing sometimes, when I daydream. It's weird.

I've done it. It's fun. Like one time when I knew I was dreaming and I could do whatever I want, teleport, run fast, make hot chicks appear from nowhere and do stuff.

But I dunno.. it feels wrong. Like that wrong feeling when eating junk food. Or using traps and perpetual energy in DF. Sleep is supposed to be for rest and actually turning on your brain while it's defragmenting has to be bad for health in the long run. Which is why I don't do it anymore.

I thought it was more like playing flash games while your computer defrags?

Well, I had a part of my dream last night that was lucid, and for some reason I could only move myself. For some reason I was in school, but I realized that I haven't been on vacation yet and I haven't visited my aunt yet... meaning it's still June. So instead of walking down the stairway and into the lower hall, I went through the nearby wall, jumped into the (RAF?) airplane waiting outside, and blew up a nuclear reactor before letting my brain take over again.

[WorkerDrone]

I think I have the lucid dreams as well.

Help me.

Dear god.

[Peewee]

Also, instead of biting your tongue, count your fingers.  If you have too many, or too few, or visible deformities, you know you're dreaming.  That was how I had my second lucid dream.  It hurts less.

Well yeah it hurts less, but if you're dreaming, it's awfully hard to count all ten. :/ I'll start trying it and tell you how it goes.
