Yesterday I decided to try lucid dreaming and google a quick how to. I put on a brainwave music clip.. and read though the page. In minutes it all turned from excitement to fear.
There was a "Warnings.." section at the end of the page, which, among other things said: - Avoid looking into a mirror, your image may be horribly disfigured and it could scare you into a nightmare. - Try not to think the people in your dream may attack you, if you are afraid they could, they most likely will. Well obviously the brainwave clip did something funny.. I'm sensitive to sounds anyway. I was reading these warnings eyes wide open. And suddenly I was really afraid I would look into a mirror and fall into a nightmare or accidentally make the people in my dream attack me. Huh! I even remembered how dream-people in the movie Inception gone all mad at the dreamer. Falling asleep didn't sound like a good idea... Luckily I saw no nightmare even though I was pretending it (which is the most effective way to get one  ).

From my experience, my dream people are pretty chill. I remember once I got lucid during a dream where I was in class, and I was afraid to get up or do anything out of the ordinary, but when I finally got up they just kinda looked and kept doing their own things.
Still haven't had any luck with shapeshifting, though.

Bioshock + dreaming = scary but awesome.  Wouldn't mind fighting a Big Daddy in dream, might be fun.

Believe me, dreams can be way scarier than real life. And they can hurt more. Injuries I've had in dreams: Been shot several times. Was stabbed twice. Once through the leg, once through the stomach. Was bitten in the hand by a zombie. And it hurt. Very much. And on one occasion, had both my legs blown off. My sister said she also had a nightmare once, where I got hit by a truck and my head blew off. Nightmares...  And Fosus, congrats on the Lucid Dream.

I had a lucid dream last night. I was expecting a huge excitement like Advent had but no.. for some reason I wasn't excited about it at all. It felt so real it was hard to believe it was a dream at first.
Teleporting around the place was quite fun, easy at first but got a bit harder towards the end of the dream. At one point I ran on puddles without my socks getting wet. FUN I also met a couple of IRL friends, and even told them we were all in a dream. One of them dared me to teleport into somewhere. I teleported far away, noticed I could not teleport back and had to walk all the way lol it took me quite a while to get back to them. At some point of the dream I had that gravity manipulation gun from Half Life 2  (Yes I played HL2 yesterday)There were some things I could not accomplish in the dream. Everything I thought would be too unreal, not possible, simply became impossible. I tried to fly so many times, jumping higher and higher to once not fall down, but I always did. I simply did not believe I could fly.. At one point though, I teleported to a room with a low ceiling, stood on my hands, my body against a wall legs pointing upwards, and suddenly I began floating a little. It didn't last long. Another thing I could not do was to teleport to Pandora  . I tried but at the same time felt it would not work and so it didn't..

I don't know why but I just love defying death in dreams. My favorite is walking in front of vehicles, especially cars. They 99% of the time drive straight through me without any pain. It kind of feels like walking through water when I do this but I just love doing it. Walking through walls is cool too. Sometimes though I can only manage bouncing off them. Ive only ever managed becoming a Na'vi fully once in my dreams when I was lucid, but damn it was so hard to do. Been very close a few times but my mind struggles to get every detail right. Being on Pandora is one I've never managed though. I'm going through a really dry patch, just having very brief lucidity and then forgetting that I was lucid and carrying on with the dream. The brief moments though are usually me being in awe of certain aspects of a dream, say accurate reproduction of the sea and landscapes.

About remembering dreams.. they are like memories of the past. I bet I would not remember much of the lucid dream I had this morning if I didn't try to memorize the things already in the dream. Well, I didn't do it on purpose. When I explained to my friend we were in a dream, I tried to tell him about the awesome things I had done.

I suppose on reading this I really take what I can do in lucid dreams for granted. I must say though having lucid dreams really adds that extra something to my life that makes it worth living even more so. I believe everyone should experience lucid dreaming and remember it at least once in their life.
