Have you done Lucid Dreaming?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream

Pretty much Lucid Dreaming is when someone is able to control or interact their dreams.

For me, I dont know if I am dreaming in the act until a memory comes along. I would problem solve or even question the person in my dream to find out that I am dreaming. From there I would actually be interacting with my subconsciousness.

Do not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spare.

I've had 3 or so. It seems whenever I do, later in the night I will have a dream of me explaining my lucid dream to someone I know, much as I would in waking life. The problem is in the dream where I explain it, I dont do a reality check for whatever reason, even though thats the perfect time to do one. I also come close sometimes where I do a reality check, but I come up with a reason for it (The clock digits are changing, probably because Im not wearing glasses). I've also had one where I arrived at the "Lucid Dream Crossroads" which i have read about, and for some reason I went on talking about it like I was at a place that should be in a dream, but didnt realize I was in one.. I do want to have more though, theyre awesome

I have, but like for a couple of minutes.

i try to let dreams find their own way. i never knew it as a thing; i have always in a way been able to steer my actions while in neverland. sometimes when i do, the dream takes on the quality of a staging for a child, a patronization. when i catch myself willing things into being, i try to take note and quit it.

on one occasion i was experiencing a rebroadcast of a dream. i dont revisit dreams as often as it seems others do; though it does happen every now and again. at a point in the journey, because i remembered the outcome and thought i would like a different path, i resolved to change the setting by will. i was at a place where i had strayed from a room where i felt i needed to be. in the dream, as it had happened when last i was there, i was never able to return to where i was trying to get to. i thought "well then, i bet im up to finding my way back if i really tried for it." i stood my ground, focused in the direction of my goal, and concentrated; imaging a stairway to take me there. all to awful consequence. everything began shuddering, becoming realized and more clearly focused; less blurry and dreamy. the wall, instead of yielding to stairs, rendered itself more distinctly, became solid, and stood up straight. it was as if it was being made into being true, it felt like a cave in of reality, like a trap. it was all one fold of a moment, from my perspective. something that got away from me, and i let go of as soon as i could. it was like waking up inside of the dream. it was inexplicably terrifying. i carried on with the dream as it had happened before, and i am evermore determined to not interfere with dreams.

I used to, but it's been years since I could. The closest thing to lucid dreaming for me is: when I have a nightmare, I can recognize it as a nightmare and wake myself up.

Yes I have many many times.

Some of my dreams are almost as realistic as lucid dreams (I can only assume), but I can never actually become fully lucid as I tend to easily accept a lot of the weird shit my brain comes up with.

Doing reality checks and working on dream recall is also a pain in the arse.

I used to get sleep paralysis; when you know you're dreaming and try to wake yourself up, but it takes a few moments, so you're stuck in this void between reality and imagination, and you feel like you've got a lead blanket over your body. It was kind of trippy at first, but it eventually just became a pain, because you end up fatiguing yourself as you try to wake up..wrap your head around that one.

yes

half way..

I can sometimes recognize that I'm dreaming and interact with it, but I'm still bound to the dream's rules and can never fully control it.

for example, I can realize I'm in a dream and be like "Alright! since I'm in control now, that means I can fly!" So then I start flying, but then I run out of energy and I fall.

I have once, for like 5 seconds when I realized I was dreaming.

All the time.

I also frequently suffer from Sleep Paralysis, but since getting married my wife can sometimes recognize when I'm having an episode and wake me up.

Yes I was stuck in one once. I kept dreaming of waking up and thinking I had woken up. My surrondings were real, but I felt stupidly tired and unable to focus as I walked about. I kept appearing back where I was sleeping and having to start again, this time awake for real, or so I thought. This happened about 3 - 4 times until I found reality again, even then I had a tiny bit of doubt in back of my mind.

Weird it is.

i haven't found this to be the case yet...

Many times, as well as sleep paralysis.

Can't remember the last time.

Define Lucid dream.

A dream is a dream. If by "Lucid" you mean I'm fully conscious in my dream, and can control what I dream, then no. Also, anyone who claims they've done that before is...probably not telling the truth. For example, I've been in dreams, and sort of had that "Huh, I'm in a dream right now" feeling, but for whatever reason, you still just roll with all of the weird s*** going on within the dream. Not anything I've ever dreamt of, but an example would be: You're floating through the air with all of your friends, through space, with no oxygen, but you can all totally breathe. "This doesn't make any sense", you think, but then you realize...IT'S YOUR SHOES. YOUR SHOES ARE ALLOWING YOU TO BREATHE IN SPACE.

Then that's it. You don't actually question how that makes any damn sense. Instead, you're sort of just like, "Oh, yea, my shoes...duh." A lot of stuff like this happens in dreams. I think a lot of the time people can temporarily realize that they're dreaming, too.

But controlling your dream, building worlds while being fully conscious...that just isn't something that is possible. At least, not yet, anyway. Even if it were, there's no way to prove that it actually happened, and even the dreamer themselves may have, well, DREAMED that they had a lucid dream. As the professor Norman Malcolm (who has done research on the "phenomenon") said:

"I dreamt that I realized I was dreaming, dreamt that I was affecting the course of my dream, and then dreamt that I woke myself up by telling myself to wake up."

Nope.

I do it most nights. >_>

yes

I watch that video about Lucid Dreaming last night. I did have a dream (more like a nightmare) and I woke several times,and I felt like your dreaming and wake up. And then go back to sleep and start dream, I felt I could Lucid Dream. Still need to experiment though.

I don't seem to have them naturally anymore. I used to all the time when I was a bit younger.
