Do you have lucid dreams?

[Angel of Iniquity]

I only have half lucidity.
Lucid dreams is understanding fully that you are dreaming, in which you can control your dreams.

I can't get the final concept down.
While I dream, I can understand that I don't get hurt, and if something isn't right, I change the dream literally, but I can't focus on the fact sayingg, "this is a dream."
Now, reason why I want these dreams, though I am a virgin, is not what you may think, I would basically live a second life, picking up every time I sleep.

A fantasy world. My own Final Fantasy, and then maybe the next week I would live in Silent hill. Why? Don't ask, I like the feeling of needing somebody, literally lonely feeling.

I'm really unlucky. I almost never have lucid dreams.

Most of the time its like I'm on auto-pilot, I may act similar to how I would in real life but most of the time weird stuff happening in a dream seems "normal" relative to my dream auto-pilot.

The only times I ever have any lucidity in my dreams is right when they are about to end. The other day while taking a short nap I had a dream where I kept waking up and some weird stuff happened, happened about 3 times in a row then I realized the previous scenarios must have been dreams but then I immediately woke up to cold reality for real before I could take advantage of the situation because the phone rang

If I had full lucidity in dreams I probably wouldn't ever get out of bed.

Well, here is a tip.
Find out what kind of dreams you have the most, as in Fearful, Sexual, dreams with alot of blue, or whatever. THen, when you find out...

Let's say there is allot red in your dream. Every-time you see red in real life, say "I'm dreaming."
It will become subconscious when you are sleeping, and if you say it in your dream... poof.

I have also found that my 5th to last major thought was most common to be my dreams.
Yes, I thought I was neurotic but that isn't a literal psychological disorder anymore ^-^"

Interesting topic.

I have been fortunate enough to experience almost pure lucidity but only after I have absolutely hammered the booze on a two/three day bender and where my mind is no longer drunk, but crashing/coming down majorly. You might argue that in that sort of physical well being, you wouldn't be dreaming lucidly in the 'conventional' sense but I do feel it is as close as I will get.

It only having happened a couple of times before now, I haven't had much chance to explore it and as a result haven't really done much in the dreams other than be incredibly aware of how much control I have yet whilst somewhat ironically not actually thinking about it to the point of making myself aware enough to wake up. If that makes sense.

I get them now and then. There are times in my dreams when I acknowledge I'm just dreaming, and will make myself do whatever I want. I've had a lot of dreams when I've stolen my mum's car and drove it towards a cliff at full speed, and after a while, my mind has just picked up that it isn't real. So it not being real means I can make the car fly, just by thinking it.

When I do wake up from a lucid dream though, I don't feel well rested and I'll spend the rest of the day exhausted for some reason. I guess you have to be half-conscious to realise you can control your dreams. Maybe?

For some reason, I always have this dream where I'm in a car with my father driving through the woods trying to evade the police. Which is weird because my father and I aren't close at all. Every time I have that dream, I realize I'm dreaming just as we are driving off a cliff. It really isn't much help at that point though because I'm falling off a cliff and I can hardly breathe.

Very interesting shame i never remember a dream at all.

Death, perhaps one such as yourself cannot dream. You render their lives Finite, and I render their families lives into nihility.
A quite prosperous team you and I are...

All of us have dreams, perhaps your sleep patterns are not perfect.
