Wow... I got this super sweet lucid dream yesterday night.. I was in this house, it was obscure, pretty much like wood floors, felt like a cabin in the woods... Somehow I gained lucidity, in other words, I knew I was in a dream... so I started walking around the rooms investigating everything, it was real neat... It was like living in another dimension.. Then I came to a small little room, it had a small lamp on the celing, but it was still the place the most lit in the house,. and the ceiling wasnt done, it had like a bit of nails pointing out. I decided to sit down and meditate, see what it would do (Yes!!! meditate in a dream!!!)... and woooow, my vision got even CLEARER, and .. it was just reallly amazing, then I decided to try to astral travel... I thought about astral traveling (usually when i astral traveled, i used to jump in the air in my lucid dreams)... so i took a jump!!!.. but ouch, my hand banged the ceiling, and it hurt lol. i sensed it, since i was so lucid.. it just really sucked, i kept telling myself i can go through the ceiling and come back to my bedroom in the astral plane.. but it didnt work, a little while later i lost my lucidity.. still a great dream
That reminds me of the method to know that you're in a dream: you constantly look at palms. If you cannot see the lines then you know that you are dreaming. Funny thing about the mind: it'll fool you sooner or later. In a dream I looked at my plams and saw lines. Since I read palms... This is one reason why I didn't want to buy those goggles which have LEDs in them and flash when they detect that one is dreaming. I figured that my mind would compensate and I would end up in a disco dancing, or seeing bombs dropping, or watching constant sunsets and sun rises. But, as to the meaning of your dream... the fact that you bumped your head probably says that your progress will be stifled (no room to grow). But at least none of the nails went into your head.
lucid dreaming is something i've always wondered about and thought about trying many times. but the thing that puts me off is if you are aware that you are in a dream and start to fuck with your subconciousness, then how do you wake up? and also, sleep is the body's natural way of storing and building energy. your subconciousness when you are asleep is random because that is the brain relaxing. hasn't anyone thought of the psychological issues that can arise from messing with the brain's way of resting?(dreaming)?
lucid dreaming....you must do yoga? ........ and as far as the question about it messing with your subcounscious and all fo that......You are resting, its jsut that you are consciously resting......you are actually in a deep sleep......you can be aware without being awake.
yes i undstand what you are saying but im saying if you are aware that you are dreaming then you are obviously capable of concious thought in this state of sunconciousness. so one part of the brain is still functioning which would naturally be not functioning (because who thinks when they are asleep?)... ...so, if you were to wake within a sleep, then you'd be able to think about when you are going to wake up, etc. i reckon this could cause paranoia or psychological issues if a technique was mastered... ....but this is just one of many opinions/theories.
But see thats the thing....Thats like saying that your heart should stop beating when you are asleep. But that is the wonder of the human body....Just like your brain is always running, even when you are asleep......Dreams..when you dream, your mind is working.......even if you are not dreaming, your mind is still working because it has to tell the rest of your body what to do. If the technique was mastered then it wouldnt be able to cause paranoia or psychological issues issues, because like you said - it would be mastered.....the brain is fast asleep you are jsut awarel......and even if for some reason you wanted to cause paranoia or psychological issues for yourself it would not be possible, because those kinds of feelings make it impossible to be lucid....lucidity is a very peaceful thing.
No, there is no such thing as "lucid dreams or astral travels are dangerous for you"... far from it.. Look, EVERYTIME we go to bed at night, our astral body detaches from our physical one, which we then go into the astral plane with. The astral plane is where we dream! So we go there every night, of course it isnt bad for us. While our astral body is out, our physical one recovers energy. and our astral body apparently weighs something (when we sleep, there is an odd weight change). When we have a normal sleep, (just dreams), it means, both our mind and our body is asleep, but to lucid dream, or astral travel, it means that we are consious of being in the astral plane, so in other words, our body is asleep, but our mind awake. and teh-horace this is astral travel: Astral projection (or astral travel) is a controversial interpretation of out-of-body experiences achieved either consciously or via lucid dreaming, deep meditation, or use of disassociatives and psychedelics, like DXM, LSD, Psilocybin or 5-MeO-DMT. Proponents of astral projection maintain that their consciousness or soul has transferred into an astral body (or "double"), which moves free of the physical body in a parallel world known as the astral plane. Real time projection In contrast to "astral" projection, the traditional understanding of out-of-body experiences involve the projector (or traveler) moving about in the "real" world as an invisible ghost in what is sometimes referred to as Real Time Projection (or RTP). Another popular term to refer to this kind of OOBE consists of "etheral projection" as opposed to "astral projection". People who claim to have experienced both say they can clearly observe the distinction between these two states. Some claim that the sensations of real-time projection are usually as vivid as the ones of the physical body, which can be a source of serious anxiety when it unexpectedly happens. Sensations of strong vibrations in the whole body are also said to accompany this experience. In some cases the 'traveller' leaves his mortal body and 'floats', being able to travel to a destination by thought. If the 'traveler' visits somewhere that other people are involved in daily life, the 'traveller' is unable to contact those people and can only observe. The 'traveler' can return to their body by 'wishing to return' as it were, whereupon they descend into their body smoothly until finally the back of the head jolts back into position after some vibration.
so it's kind of like that episode of spongebob where he jumps out of his own dream bubble and walks around? lol, maybe?
^haha sweet, spongebob rocks... But i never saw that episode i think. But I wouldnt be impressed if its mentionned in Spongebob, the dudes who write this show probably blacked out from too many drugs and experienced it themselvles
I once cycled 60 miles on a bike with only one pedal to meet a girl.We both woke up at 5.00 in the morning for some reason and I've NEVER seen a sky like it - it was like..the end of the world or something - just crimson and purple but so bright it was making the walls look that colour too.Later on we went to a field and I fell aleep flat on my back under a tree,and it was really sunny.I had the most lucid dream then that I have ever had - I was in the same field but I was gliding through it very very slowly and infront of me into view came 2 lines of people that looked as if they were made out of kind of liquid glass.As I drifted between them I turned to look at their faces and they were very happy faces,and the sunlight was shining through them,and |I smiled back.Then it all faded and I woke up - I'd only been asleep for like 5 minutes but it was the kind of dream that actually changed my life.
^^ yea so much great things can happen from dreams.. Its funny though, how we sleep and dream almost as much as we live in a day... but still we never mention those hours of dreams and sleep alot
i have been lucid dreaming alot....where i totally know i'm in a dream and try to take advantage of that.....but what i have found is that i can not accomplish the cliche "dream stuff" like flying or just changing whats around me. its very boring. its like life, everything is happening around me and i can only work within that environment....kind of sucks.....or sad....am i dead inside?
You could try doing something you've never done before.Or go somwhere you've never been.Is it your job your bored of,or the people around you? You could try changing one of these things.There are choices...
