Post 'em!

For me, binaural theta beats = most epic dreams ever. That is to say, as of two weeks ago I'm learning dream control. I had my first fully lucid dream two nights ago: I flew around for a while, met and talked with all my characters from the Randomness project (<3 Sara), shot lightning from my hands for a while, then blew up the planet. (This last was too much and I woke up.) It was awesome. I'll post tips if you guys want them.

So, post your dreams!

Today, I dreamed that Scout made a post on the Swedish Pokémon forum... In Swedish.
He didn't use Google Translate from what I could see. His grammar wasn't perfect, but I still had no idea how he managed to know so much Swedish.

For reference, I think he knows about five words IRL.

Here's a dream I had several years that eventually became a game that I'm currently developing:

<open narrative>

You wake up in a dry, dusty desert. Tumbleweeds grow in scattered patches across the desert as far as you can see. You're surrounded by four thick, strong gates ringed with razor wire, the gate to the southeast slowly swinging in the small buffets of wind. Overhead, several black vultures circle, occasionally diving to ravage one of the numerous dead animals lying near the gates. You start across the desert beyond the gate, wanting to the reach the deep desert before the desert claims you for itself. It's rumored that surviving exiles live there in an area called Black Canyon. All you know for certain is that you can't return to the nation that exiled you on pain of death.

The sun glares down ever harder as you stumble across the desert, the day lengthening. Occasional howls from the distant mountains to the northwest drift across the endless sands. Coupled with the intense dehydration, they provoke wild hallucinations of the horrible creatures The Project is rumored to have summoned in those godforsaken hills.

...

You've been traveling for what seems like years. The sounds of the desert have driven you to near insanity.  However, it occurs to you that the landscape has subtly changed from the endless plains where you were exiled. Small shrubs have have replaced the prickly tumbleweeds and sandy plateaus gradually descend towards a narrow chasm splitting the landscape. As you approach the dark chasm, the wind howls around you, shrieking and deafening. You note the dark stone composing its sheer walls, which descend into a misty abyss whose depths cannot be seen. This is Black Canyon.

Here's how I learned:
1. Reality checks. Whenever something unexpected or frustrating happens, count your fingers, lean on a wall, etc to check you're awake. You'll eventually start doing these in dreams. If they fail, you become lucid.
2. Semiconciousness. Set your alarm late in the night, then go back to sleep. Keep repeating to yourself "I will be aware I'm dreaming." If you can, keep the desired topic of the dream in your thoughts. This is the easiest way to practice.
3. Theta binaural beats.

Lol yay now we have one here as well

Im like a lucid dreaming encyclopedia I have been following it for almost a year now and its one of the most amazing things ever!!!


im to lazy to type my last good dream out it was like 20 minutes long and had alot of detail so ill give you some bullets

;
 -Time traveling Scooter
 -traveling in time to fix my mistakes
 -being chased threw time by my dream characters
 -mind controlling aliens

was alot of fun!!
if i can find the old dream topic ill copy one of my mario dreams over that one was epic

Ok for you Raylin first question needs to be asked how good is your dream recall on average?



as for binareal beats I can make them on request and i find a sweep to a high delta then a sharp rise to a mid theta works the best at re awareing you in a dream just have to get the timing right

I usually don't remember any of my dreams.  I think I remember 3 dreams throughout my entire life.

\0/ well we can change that....if you want i was like that to now I remember a dream almost every day ^_^

besides forcing me to wake up in the middle of sleeping using some hair-brained method (hopefully not involving blue lobsters), what did you do?

you start off by keeping a dj? acronyms my not be best here.  Interesting idea, but I don't think I would do it.  Not worth the effort, I guess.
