that sounds ridiculous

I've tried LDs, but It takes ages for me to fall asleep, so it doesn't really work. Apparently everybody has about 3-4 dreams a night, and if you try to record every one(e.g. on paper) you have you can have loads of them. It's called Dream Recall, I think.

There's a good wikibook on it:

I heard you can have sex in dreams too, which has been tried a lot.

Sounds interesting... I have a few questions, though.
1. Can you will yourself out of this state?
2. Can your mind fall asleep after this?

It's cool the first few times, but it gets scary when you actually see a person come in and tell you that he's going to take out your small intestine and sell it. Severe hypnagogic and hypnopompic sleep paralysis sucks.

XD

Sounds epic to me =P

Nope, if you decide to get up right after it you'll probably feel more refreshed in your head and in your body.

Most often you'll just slip into non-lucid sleep and then wake up like normal in the morning. Otherwise you might wake up then decide to go to sleep or try again. Usually the effects don't last very long although it will feel much longer. (you feel like you've been doing/seeing crazy stuff for a few hours but look over at your clock and 15 minutes have passed) You'll get a good night's rest minus perhaps a half-hour lead in with this. Prolonging this all night wouldn't be healthy however, You need proper REM sleep to refresh neuro-transmitters in your brain.

1. Yes, by moving or otherwise forcing yourself to wake up.
2. You'll have a hard time stopping it =P You'll normally slip into non-lucid sleep if you don't wake up.

This thread must return!

Bookmarked this thread. Why? I have no idea.

I'm trying to get into lucid dreaming, but I might try this tonight.

Amazing. I actually searched for this thread the other night, and was secretly hoping for someone to bump it.

You're not supposed to tamper with what god wants.

But hey, looks like you don't care.

I tried it last night but couldn't quite get it. My body did feel really weird. Like my legs felt isolated from the rest of my body but at the same time felt like they weighed a ton. My hips started to cramp and I got pretty sweaty so I couldn't fall asleep. So I just gave up and went to sleep normally.

I'm trying this now, fucking awesome stuff you found, apparently you get to control what you dream, also remember not to move your eyes! I'll be back in about half an hour with results.

Amazing, I went into it completely relaxed then later I started noticing my palms were tingling, then later I saw faces in my ceiling and some vampire thing which I remember shitting me up and then I started tearing up and then room began to change colours and faces appeared man that is amazing, then I just moved my head up to come out of it and everything became normal like and it was just like I woke up, I'm doing this again tonight, sweet stuff!

you see lots of weird shit and it dosent take ages

Yeh thats what I do all the time.

It's almost 5am, and my body is dead tired. If any time would be best for this to work, it'd be now. I have NEVER been able to LD and it PISSES me off! They sound so badass...... :-(

I'll do what you said, and report back tomorrow.......er........later today. Wish me luck!

Sounds creepy. What the happens if you can't get out of it?

Getting in is the hard bit getting out is ridiculously easy, if you want to know when your LD' ing write a word on your hand and check it every 20 mins or so until it is habit, then if you check your hand and it says something different your ld'ing but you get out of so fuckin' easy it is annoying because LD dreams are the SHIT!

i did that on accident before
and it was just horrorfying
i tried to scream but i chouldnt and i was praying i whould wake up soon
as soon as i did i started to cry

You're not doing it until you feel like a huge LITERAL wave come over you and you become numb.

Really, guys, this is nothing and by the way you remain conscious.

You guys are acting like this is fucking meth or somthing.

It didn't really work for me.......dammit. I"ll try again tonight. *shrugs*

what happens if u do this and get a bonner? i mean it can't be called morning wood....WHAT IS IT!?!?! lol na i tired it and i went passed the whole urge think then i felt very heavy and i was stuck laying on my floor for about 10 mins not able to speak or anything but fully awake creppy

are you sure that was not just the mushrooms......WELL!!!!! WAS IT!? or was it the LSD?! dam 84% of this is a quote so i have to type in some random crap before i can post it ah there we go ^_^

I still keep failing miserably at it.

That's freaky. I don't think I'll ever do it again...

And BTW, I'm watching planet of the apes right now and the lady one looks like michael jackson.

this has happened to me for years and it terrified me

thx for the info

Vikoden works just as well.

I just tried this about 10 minutes ago, and idk if it really happened or if it was just a placebo effect because I was excited for it to happen, but my back and head got really hot, parts of my body felt tingly like I was sitting on them, and it felt like a cat or something was walking up my body. it was kinda odd.
The whole time it felt like someone was rocking my bed back and forth really fast, so the sense of balance and laying flat went away.

I'm only skeptical because it took no time, and I'm anticipating it so much

i tried it but, because i have neck problems (got hit in the back of my neck with a baseball bat) i couldnt keep my head still for any longer then a couple of minutes...o well...

I tried this some days ago when I went to sleep. It worked the first time I tried it, my attempts after that failed. I was worried that I couldn't really lay still because of my breathing, but it worked. Afterall you breath when you sleep.

First my body felt tingely, but I didn't have an urge to move. It was as if something scanned my body to see if it was asleep, starting with my legs, then arms. I remember I had a huge urge to swallow my saliva but I didn't. In the end the "bodyscan" seemed to go to my eyes. Then suddenly I felt a strange sensation in my head, shortly followed by some kaleidoscope-like patterns. It all suddenly stopped after a few seconds. I guess I moved.
