Lucid-Dreamers Would like you to meet Akiora





Simply put, lucid dreaming fascinates me.  I do have lucid dreamers from time to time, but it's not a regular occurence.  I don't know whether it's some bad sign of my mental insecurities or not, but it seems that most of my lucid dreams are nightmarish in nature.  There's always a point where I lose control, and then things unfold on their own...usually not to my liking
In a somewhat related way, I tend to experience a phenomenon known as sleep paralysis.  Follow the link to read up

Besides these dream-related things, I have some really random interests.  I'm a huge film junkie...and I'm into cinematography and directing.  I'm into music as well, mostly alternative these days.  Also, I'm kind of tech-oriented.  Eh...what else...metaphysics and religious philosophy...skiing...so random...

I know this is really long, and bless you if you've bothered to read it all, but I'll cap up with a list of people I'd like to meet...I think that says a lot about a person:
Seth Morrisson, Clint Eastwood, Francis Drake, Chris Kattan, Akira Kurosawa, Conan, Christopher Walken, Lewis Carroll, Dante, Sean Penn, Kant, Quentin Tarantino, Seth Meyers, Tim Burton, Sid Meier, Robert Rodriguez, Johnny Depp, Rasputin, Stephen Chow, Pep Fujas, Ray Bradbury, Hunter S. Thompson, Faulkner, CS Lewis, Glenn Plake, Stephen King, Omar Rodriguez, Bob Burnquist, T.C. May, and Mr. T.  

Okay...I'm done now.  You have a patience worthy beyond words, thanks for sticking through!

Welcome to the Questions and Answers

This is designed to help with your Lucid Dreaming, I know many people in this club are very intersted in Lucid Dreaming. Well thanks to a110100 we now have some basics to help you along the way.

If you have any questions that are not found here fell free to ask them and Jeffery will get back to you as soon as he can... also look foward to new fourm topic in the near future .


Q. What is MILD

A. MILD stands for Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams. Basically a technique used when you interrupt yourself to think about lucid dreaming during the day so that you might dream about yourself doing the exact same action in your dream to remind yourself to become aware of the dream. Ideas like everytime you see the color red(or any other color) you consciously think about if you are dreaming or not.



Q What is WILD

A. WILD stands for Wake Induced Lucid Dreams. A technique that is very rewarding when achieved and requires the ability to control your own calmness, stay focused, and to stay conscious while falling asleep. You stay conscious while your body falls asleep so that you might enter the the dream world lucid from the very beginning.



Q. Is lucid dreaming natural?

A. Some people are able to lucid dream as far as they could remember. Some people have actually aquired lucid dreaming through drugs. I believe lucid dreaming is a charecteristic of humans that does come naturally to some people and to most of us, comes with practice and intent.



Q. Is lucid dreaming harmful?

A. Most people who lucid dream have claimed while experiencing a lucid dream have a very positive experience, and others have had an occasional "lucid nightmare" where emotions are intense and the experience is fearful. Usually all lucid dream experiences are seen beneficial in some way no matter what happened during the exerience. As of physical harm, carrying through from the lucid dream to the waking state, is not possible.



Q. Is the time spent in a lucid dream relative to the time spent sleeping?

A. The Time that was "felt" spent in the lucid dream varies form person to person. Sometimes for some people it might have felt like they lucid dreamed for fifteen minutes but they slept all night. Several occasions people will feel like they experienced several days in the a lucid dream and they only slept a couple hours.



Q. Are there ways to prolong the lucid dream?

A. There are several techniques are very challanging and some very simple. There are some techniques published in books, mainly the spinning technique, where you spin yourself in the dream and instead of becoming dizzy a new dream will begin. The challange in spinning takes some getting used, you have to be able to have enough focus to remember that you are in a lucid dream. Another technique is to rub your hands together palm to palm. The other common technique is to simply will yourself to not end the lucid dream.



Q. Why lucid dream?

A. Just about anything imaginable is possible in the lucid dream. Isn't it just a wonder to know what it would be like to experience the situation of becoming conscious in a dream? Naturaly most people first think of flying or running or jumping or breathing underwater, or exeriencing a fantasy. The idea of enjoying ourselves in any situation is a drive for most people who strive to lucid dream the next time they fall asleep.



Q. Can anyone learn to become lucid in their dreams?

A. Lucid dreaming is a common charecteristic to the human individual. There are several people that claim they do not dream and if they dream, they only dream once every two weeks. The fact that we sometimes forget our dreams is commonly misunderstood as not dremaing at all. As long as we enter in a theta state while dreaming or a R.E.M. stage, there is opportunity to dream, remember our dreams, and eventually become lucid in these dreams.
