How often or how many times have you been bole to lucid dream?

In the last 3 or so months I've done it about as many times. Some times I go a very long time without doing it.

I imagine it is very possible by the way for some people to naturally be better at lucid dreaming then others...

I'm not sure, that may very well be. I never read a book or anything on it. I just heard about it a very long time ago and that the main thing to it is being able to catch yourself dreaming (being able to recognize you are dreaming when you are in one). I am the most observant person that I have ever known and maybe that helps a lot.

Indeed.

That is what that book I had way beak when said, which also appears to be mostly the same methods being shared here:

I have mostly been flying but there are other cool things you can do like being invisable or another really good one is being able to pass through solid matter at will.

I just learned a few things from this video. I am never allowed to get a full nights sleep.

This one has some very interresting info. I am interrested in trying that spining around thing.

One of the earliest things I did was play around with the point of view. A few of the video games I had I could do that with as well.
Like I said before passing through solid matter is really awesome to.

I bet. All I've done in my dreams is fly. Haven't tried lucid dreaming yet, though.

Well they were right about rechecking things when you are dreaming and them not being right. This morning I was dreaming that I had to go back in the navy (I think all exservice men have these dream / nightmares) and I was taking classes aboard the carrier. I checked my class schdule then a few moments later when I tried to check it again it wasn't the same and would not work. I do multiple checkes of things durring the day and pretty much alway have. Not because I'm crazy but because its the right thing to do. For safty and keeping track of things you have to do that. I was the tool petty officer for my shop in the navy and they hammer it into you about repeatidly checking things.

[sherlew99]

It sounds like your experiences have helped with the lucid dreaming in a way. No, checking things isn't crazy. There's no problem with it as long as it doesn't interfere with one's quality of life.

I tend to double-check things such as doors to make sure they're locked and closed when leaving the house, or when I exit through the staff doors at my place of work.

I would recommend using a digital voice recorder over a pen & tablet for your dream journal. Most of you being writers probably already have a digital voice recorder. I have one that I use to use for story & song writing but I can't find it now so I got a photo from photobucket. If someone made a waterproof one they would make a lot of money. You writers should already know but if you don't, the best times & places for coming up with things is in the shower (they say because of the negative ions) and right before or after sleep.

[sherlew99]

Yeah they would, doubt that any are available, though.

Remember how Dr. Abigail Tyler used her voice recorder in the movie THE FOURTH KIND?
Everybody should have one of these.
I just seen somewhere that THE FOURTH KIND was voted one of the scarest movies.

[sherlew99]

I can see why. shockhairgif

[pickinduck]

I think that I am going to rewatch THE FOURTH KIND right now.
Have you seen it Sherlew?
